Stair Climbing Robot Based on Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Impaired

2019 , Campos, Guillermo , Poza, David , Reyes, Moises , Zacate, Alma , Ponce, Hiram , Brieva, Jorge , Moya-Albor, Ernesto

When a person loses the sense of sight, in general, it is suggested to use a white cane to perform daily activities. However, using a white cane limits the movement of a person. In addition, guide dogs can be served in this impairment. However, the acquisition and maintenance of a guide dog is extremely high for people in development countries. In this regard, this paper presents a proof-of-concept of a low-cost robotic system able to guide a visual impaired, as a guide dog. The robot is specially designed for climbing stairs at indoors, and it uses convolutional neural networks (CNN) for both object detection and hand gesture recognition for special instructions from the user. Experimental results showed that our prototype robot can climb stairs with 86.7% of efficiency in concrete stair surfaces. Also, the visual representation by CNN performed more than 98% accuracy. © 2019 IEEE.

Application of Convolutional Neural Networks for Fall Detection Using Multiple Cameras

2020 , Espinosa Loera, Ricardo Abel , Ponce, Hiram , Gutiérrez, Sebastián , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , Moya-Albor, Ernesto , Brieva, Jorge

Currently one of the most important research issue for artificial intelligence and computer vision tasks is the recognition of human falls. Due to the current exponential increase in the use of cameras is it common to use vision-based approach for fall detection and classification systems. On another hand deep learning algorithms have transformed the way that we see vision-based problems. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as deep learning technique offers more reliable and robust solutions on detection and classification problems. Focusing only on a vision-based approach, for this work we used images from a new public multimodal data set for fall detection (UP-Fall Detection dataset) published by our research team. In this chapter we present fall detection system using a 2D CNN analyzing multiple camera information. This method analyzes images in fixed time window frames extracting features using an optical flow method that obtains information of relative motion between two consecutive images. For experimental results, we tested this approach in UP-Fall Detection dataset. Results showed that our proposed multi-vision-based approach detects human falls achieving 95.64% in accuracy with a simple CNN network architecture compared with other state-of-the-art methods.

Automatic classification of coronary stenosis using convolutional neural networks and simulated annealing

2022 , Rendon-Aguilar, Luis Diego , Cruz-Aceves, Ivan , Fernandez-Jaramillo, Arturo Alfonso , Moya-Albor, Ernesto , Brieva, Jorge , Ponce, Hiram

Automatic detection of coronary stenosis plays an essential role in systems that perform computer-aided diagnosis in cardiology. Coronary stenosis is a narrowing of the coronary arteries caused by plaque that reduces the blood flow to the heart. Automatic classification of coronary stenosis images has been re-cently addressed using deep and machine learning techniques. Generally, the machine learning methods form a bank of empirical and automatic features from the angiographic images. In the present work, a novel method for the automatic classification of coronary stenosis X-ray images is presented. The method is based on convolutional neural networks, where the neural architecture search is performed by using the path-based metaheuristics of simulated annealing. To perform the neural architecture search, the maximization of the F1-score metric is used as the fitness function. The automatically generated convolutional neural network was compared with three deep learning methods in terms of the accuracy and F1-score metrics using a testing set of images obtaining 0.88 and 0.89, respectively. In addition, the proposed method was evaluated with different sets of coronary stenosis images obtained via data augmentation. The results involving a number of different instances have shown that the proposed architecture is robust preserving the efficiency with different datasets © 2023 Şaban öztürk. All rights reserved.

Vision-Based Analysis on Leaves of Tomato Crops for Classifying Nutrient Deficiency using Convolutional Neural Networks

2020 , Cevallos Vega, Claudio Sebastián , Ponce, Hiram , Moya-Albor, Ernesto , Brieva, Jorge

Tomato crops are one of the most important agricultural products at economic level in the world. However, the quality of the tomato fruits is highly dependent to the growing conditions such as the nutrients. One of consequences of the latter during tomato harvesting is nutrient deficiency. Manually, it is possible to anticipate the lack of primary nutrients (i.e. nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) by looking the appearance of the leaves in tomato plants. Thus, this paper presents a supervised vision-based monitoring system for detecting nutrients deficiencies in tomato crops by taking images from the leaves of the plants. It uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to recognize and classify the type of nutrient that is deficient in the plants. First, we created a data set of images of leaves of tomato plants showing different symptoms due to the nutrient deficiency. Then, we trained a suitable CNN-model with our images and other augmented data. Experimental results showed that our CNN-model can achieve 86.57% of accuracy. We anticipate the implementation of our proposal for future precision agriculture applications such as automated nutrient level monitoring and control in tomato crops. © 2020 IEEE.
