Decomposition and characterization of backscattered ultrasonic multiple interfering echoes is a critical step for analyzing the ultrasonic propagation path, propagation modes, coupling condition of the transducers and detecting defects within the propagation path. Chirplet Signal Decomposition (CSD) is an efficient way of analyzing ultrasonic echoes. However, CSD is computationally expensive and time-consuming for real-time signal processing applications. To address this problem, we present a System-on-Chip (SoC) implementation of the CSD algorithm, with the goal of speed optimization and real-time execution without sacrificing the accuracy of the signal decomposition and reconstruction. The implementation was tested on a Zynq Ultrascale+ series FPGA and achieved an echo estimation within two milliseconds.

According to WHO's report from 2021, Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional death worldwide. The use of autonomous drones for drowning recognition can increase the survival rate and help lifeguards and rescuers with their life saving mission. This paper presents a real-time drowning recognition model and algorithm for ocean surveillance that can be implemented on a drone. The presented model has been trained using two different approaches and has 88% accuracy. Compared to the contemporary models of drowning recognition designed for swimming pools, the model presented is better suited for outdoor applications in the ocean.

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a versatile Unsupervised Learning (UL) technique for reducing the dimensionality of datasets. As a result, PCA is widely used in consumer and research applications as a preprocessing tool for identifying important features prior to further analysis. In instances where on-site personnel or developers do not have the expertise to apply UL techniques, third party processors are frequently retained. However, the release of client or proprietary data poses a substantial security risk. This risk increases the regulatory and contractual burden on analysts when interacting with sensitive or classified information. Homomorphic Encryption (HE) cryptosystems are a novel family of encryption algorithms that permit approximate addition and multiplication on encrypted data. When applied to UL models, such as PCA, experts may apply their expertise while maintaining data privacy. In order to evaluate the potential application of Homomorphic Encryption, we implemented Principal Component Analysis using the Microsoft SEAL HE libraries. The resulting implementation was applied to the MNIST Handwritten dataset for feature reduction and image reconstruction. Based on our results, HE considerably increased the time required to process the dataset. However, the HE algorithm is still viable for non-real-time applications as it had an average pixel error of near-zero for all image reconstructions.

This paper presents a system design for a smart bike helmet with multiple safety features that are intended to empower bicycle riders to proactively avoid potential sources of danger or injury. A Smart Sensor/Actuator Node (SSAN), driven by an Arduino Uno single-board microcontroller, contains input sensors and actuators to provide riders the ability to send and receive warnings promptly on their helmet. A Vision Node, driven by an NVIDIA Jetson Nano and a cable pin-connected camera, executes AI object detection algorithms for any dangerous objects that are out of sight of the rider and sends alerts to the SSAN as needed. By combining safety features of the SSAN and Vision Node while continuously sending data to an IoT-enabled backend web server, the safety operation of a typical bike ride can be substantially improved.

Ultrasonic Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) has been extensively used to characterize the microstructure of metallic structures for early exposure of materials integrity. However, industrial NDE requires the processing, storage, and real-time transmission of large volumes of ultrasonic data. Therefore, it is indispensable to compress ultrasonic data with high fidelity. In this study, we explore the development of Unsupervised Learning (UL) based Neural Network (NN) models for massive ultrasonic data compression and an innovative multilayer perceptron residual autoencoder: Ultrasonic Residual Compressive Autoencoder (URCA), is introduced to compress ultrasonic data with high compression performance. This URCA can be fast-trained and utilizes the sparsity penalty with residual connection to optimize compression performance. UL-based NNs allow for memory-efficient training and rapid online augmentation of the model. To examine the results, a high-performance ultrasonic signal acquisition system was assembled to automatically collect ultrasonic data from heat-treated 1,018 steel blocks for microstructure characterization. Compression performance is analyzed based on compression ratio, reconstruction accuracy and model training time. The reconstruction accuracy was measured using the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). By training the URCA NN for a high reconstruction performance of 0.96 SSIM, we obtained 91.25% memory space-saving. For a higher compression performance of 0.80 SSIM, we obtained 96.04% memory space-saving.

Flaw detection using the ultrasonic imaging technique has been widely used for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Ultrasonic testing has the advantages of one-sided measurement, high penetration depth, and inspection accuracy. Artificial intelligence (AI) such as Deep Learning (DL) methods can automate the inspection process with high reliability for imaging and SHM. Neural Networks (NNs) and DL methods can detect flaws using ultrasonic images with high accuracy but suffer extensive computational costs for training and deployment. In this study, we propose a lightweight transformer NN, UFDCTNet: Ultrasonic Flaw Detection Convolutional Transformer Neural Network (TNN), optimized with data-efficient Convolutional NN (CNN) for flaw detection using ultrasonic imaging. TNN utilizes the self-attention network architecture that learns global representations and allows high parallelism in computation resulting in reduced training time. CNNs learn local representations with fewer parameters because of inherent spatial inductive bias. This UFDCTNet utilizes the advantages of CNNs to learn spatially local representations resulting in fewer model parameters for fast training. For performance analysis, we trained data-efficient TNN and CNN using ultrasonic images to detect flaws. To examine training results, NNs are trained with the USimgAIST dataset consisting of 7000 experimental B-scan images representing without-flaw and with-flaw cases. A pulsed laser ultrasonic scanning system was used to collect these B-scan images from 17 stainless steel specimen plates with various types of flaws and some plates without any damage.
