To control the quality of X-band marine radar images for retrieving information and improve the inversion accuracy, the research on rainfall detection from marine radar images is investigated in this paper. Currently, the difference in the correlation characteristic between the rain-contaminated radar image and the rain-free radar image is utilized to detect rainfall. However, only the correlation coefficient at a position in the lagged azimuth is utilized, and a statistical hard threshold is adopted. By deeply investigating the difference between the calculated correlation characteristic and the marine radar images, the correlation coefficient in the lagged azimuth can be used to constitute the correlation coefficient feature vector (CCFV). Then, an unsupervised k-meansclustering learning method is used to obtain the clustering centers. Based on the constituted CCFV and the k-means clustering algorithm, a new method of rainfall detection from the collected X-band marine radar images is proposed. The acquired X-band marine radar images are utilized to verify the effectiveness of the proposed rainfall detection method. Compared with the zero-pixel percentage (ZPP) method, the correlation coefficient difference (CCD) method, the support vector machine (SVM) method and the wave texture difference (WTD) method, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method could finish the task of rainfall detection, and the detection accuracy increases by 10.0%, 6.3%, 2.0% and 0.6%, respectively, for the proportion of the 25% training dataset.

The automated detection of spilled loads on the highway can help quick finding of offending vehicles and prevent traffic congestion. A real-time spilled loads detection algorithm based on the improved You Only Look Once v4 (YOLOv4) is proposed in this paper. Image synthesis method is used to manually generate dataset to solve the problem of insufficient spilled loads images. Six categories of spilled loads are divided into 35,468 samples as a dataset (80% for training and 20% for testing). k-meansclustering and Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) were introduced to YOLOv4 Channel pruning was carried out to reduce the computational complexity and resource consumption of the model. The proposed model, of which average precision=98.3%, recall= 0.962, precision=0.98, performs better than other 5 types classifiers and is applied to estimate spilled loads, where the model size and GFLOPs is 134.535 MB and 70 respectively. Compared with the original model, the reduction is 47.6% and 34%, saving computing resources and speeding up the detection speed on the premise of ensuring the detection accuracy. This paper paves a new way for automated spilled load detection with deep learning method, improving the efficiency and accuracy of spilled load detection.

To identify the tool wear in real time, this article builds the online detection system and proposes an integrated image processing method to measure the wear width for flank face of turning tool. First, the images of flank face wear are collected by the image acquisition system. Second, the collected images are cropped near the flank face wear, and the wear area and background for the cropped images are separated by k-means clustering algorithm. Then, the wear edge is identified by the grayscale transformation and edge detection algorithm, and the wear width is calculated by Hough transformation. Finally, the cutting experiment is carried out on MAG HTC200 CNC lathe to verify the validity of the proposed method, and the results show that the identified wear width by the proposed method and actual measured wear width for flank face of turning tool are in good agreement and show the proposed method is effective and have micron scale calculation accuracy.

UAVs as mobile nodes have been introduced into wireless sensor network (WSN) to assist information transmission and reduce the burden of communication. To minimize the path cost of UAVs for information transmission, this paper focuses on the path planning of UAVs. A multi-UAVs path planning combined k-means clustering algorithm and improved MAX-MIN ant system (MMAS) is proposed. This algorithm apply the k-means clustering algorithm to reduce the problem size and improve the search efficiency of subsequent path planning. By modifying the node search rules and proposing two optimal solution detection rules of the MMAS, the algorithm searching stagnation and failing into local optimal solution are effectively avoided.

Recently, financial issues have been considered as the main aspects of microgrid (MG) evaluation in the literature. In this study, the optimal configuration of the MG has been calculated by presenting a reliability-constrained optimization model. In this optimization approach, the MG units are considered in full available state and random outage state through the planning horizon. To model a proposed MG in details, its uncertainties are formulated in the main function. A combination of Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) algorithm and k-means clustering algorithm is applied to generate all uncertainties. The proposed model simultaneously optimizes two objectives, namely, economic costs and emission performance. Time of use (TOU) based demand response (DR) program has been employed for optimal management of the demand side. At first, the bi-objective function is converted to a sequence of single-objective constrained problems by employing E-constraints. All Pareto front solutions are obtained by utilizing GAMS for solving the developed mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model. To make a trade-off among solutions, the max-min fuzzy decision-making method has been used. Due to the positive effect of the DR program on the configuring problem, the total emission and economic costs of MG have been reduced up to 4.01% and 1.72%, respectively.

Production planning and scheduling problems are highly interdependent as scheduling provides optimum allocation of resources and planning is an optimum utilization of these allocated resources to serve multiple customers. Researchers have solved production planning and scheduling problems by the sequential method. But, in this case, the solution obtained by the production planning problem may not be feasible for scheduling method. Hence, production planning and scheduling problems must be solved simultaneously. Therefore, in this work, a mathematical model is developed to integrate production planning and scheduling problems. The solution to this integrated planning and scheduling problem is attempted by using a discrete artificial bee colony (DABC) algorithm. To speed up the DABC algorithm, a k-means clustering algorithm is used in the initial population generation phase. This k-means clustering algorithm will help to converge the algorithm in lesser time. A real-life case study of a soap manufacturing industry is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. An objective function to minimize overall cost, which comprises the processing cost, material cost, utility cost, and changeover cost, is considered. The results obtained by using DABC algorithm are compared with those obtained by CPLEX software. There is a saving of (sic)2 23 324 for weeks 1-4 in overall cost compared with the results obtained by using CPLEX software.

Competition between companies is getting more intense by the day. Corporations need to decrease costs while improving the quality and reliability of their deliveries. Meanwhile, the demand for environmentally sustainable products and operations is increasing. These issues are all compounded by the supplier relations between companies and their need to develop better economic and environmental supply chain contracts. This research thus aims to propose a tool, i.e., the MOSS Software, concerning the total cost, rate of defected materials, rate of late deliveries, and environmental improvement potential for suppliers. MOSS is a two-stage software. First, the objectives are included in a multi-objective evolutionary mathematical model, and the model is solved using the NSGA-III algorithm. In the second stage, as a post-Pareto analysis approach, the kmeansalgorithm is used for selecting representative solutions among Pareto sets by comparing silhouette values for different k values. An application of the MOSS software is also presented in this paper.

Although numerical methods based on strength reduction are becoming popular in slope stability analysis, they fail to provide a distinct critical slip surface and only provide a shear band. The widely used visualization techniques for defining the critical slip surface are susceptible to subjective judgment and are inefficient for batch analysis and three-dimensional analysis. When a slope fails, the displacements on the two sides of the critical slip surface will be substantially different. Based on this observation, an automatic identification method for locating the critical slip surface is proposed. The k-means clustering algorithm is first applied to automatically separate the nodal displacements into two categories representing the sliding mass and the stable block. Then, the scatters near the separation surface are obtained by constructing the alpha shape of the sliding mass. Finally, the critical slip surface is obtained by fitting the extracted scatters. A homogeneous slope, a slope with a thin weak layer and a real landslide are used to test the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method can automatically and accurately identify two-dimensional and three-dimensional critical slip surfaces.

This study proposes a coil current model and an energy storage motor current (ESMC) model of circuit breakers (CBs) with spring operated mechanism. To make sure the signals generated by the models are identical to the actual ones, this study proposes a stochastic optimisation algorithm to optimise the model parameters. Based on the data produced by the optimised models, two fault diagnosis methods are proposed to assess operational condition and detect faults. The first method is based on fast template matching, which adopts k-means clustering algorithm to cluster the data and form a template library. The second one combines deep belief network and Softmax classifier, which can not only extract high level information of the characteristic signals, but also avoid the negative impact of the large dimension on classification results. In the simulation studies, the two methods are tested on various scenarios and their merits are demonstrated, respectively, where the latter one shows superior performance.

Background and purpose: Breast cancer is a popular well-known tumor in women globally and the subsequent driving reason for malignancy death. The purpose of the present study is to develop Low cost, commercial, and affordable system that discriminates malignant from normal breast tissues by exploiting the unique properties of Hyperspectral (HS) Imaging. Materials and methods: The difference in the optical properties of the investigated breast tissues gives various reactions to light transmission, absorption, and especially the reflection over the spectral range. A custom optical imaging system (COIS) was designed to assess variable responses to monochromatic LEDs (415, 565, 660 nm) to highlight the differences in the reflectance properties of malignant/normal tissue. Statistical analysis was computed for determining the ideal wavelength to differentiate between normal and malignant regions. The experiment was repeated using the same LEDs, and low-cost CCD camera to examine the capability of such a system to discriminate between normal and malignant tissue. Results: Spectral images obtained by Hyperspectral camera, have been analyzed to reveal the difference of reflectance malignant and normal breast tissue. Superficial spectral reflection image with blue LED (415 nm) showed high variance (10.11). However, a more-depth reflection image with red LED (660 nm) showed low variance (4.44). So the optimum contrast image was produced by combining the three spectral information images from blue, green, and red LED. The COIS using a commercial CCD camera was in agreement with the HS camera. Conclusions: The novel COIS of the commercial Low-cost CCD Camera is reliable and can be used with endoscopy technique as an assistant tool for surgical doctor to make decision and assess the resection edges in real time during surgery.
