SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION OF THERMAL DEFECTS IN BELT CONVEYOR IDLERS USING THERMAL IMAGE AUGMENTATION AND U-NET-BASED CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS

Semantic segmentation of thermal defects in belt conveyor idlers using thermal image augmentation and U-Net-based convolutional neural networks

Abstract The belt conveyor (BC) is the main means of horizontal transportation of bulk materials at mining sites.The sudden fault in BC modules may cause unexpected stops in Fondue Set production lines.With the increasing number of applications of inspection mobile robots in condition monitoring (CM) of industrial infrastructure in hazardous enviro

Feeding ecology of stream-dwelling Characidae (Osteichthyes: Characiformes) from the upper Tocantins River, Brazil

In this contribution we studied the trophic Brush Cleaner ecology of four Characidae species from the Cavalo Stream, upper Tocantins River, considering diet overlap and trophic niche breadth.The diet of the four species was composed of adult and immature insects, both autochthonous and allochthonous in origin.Autochthonous items dominated the diet

Combined-Acupoint Electroacupuncture Induces Better Analgesia via Activating the Endocannabinoid System in the Spinal Cord

Electroacupuncture (EA) therapy has been widely reported to alleviate neuropathic pain with few side effects in both clinical practice and animal studies worldwide.However, little is known about the comparison of the therapeutic efficacy among the diverse EA schemes used for neuropathic pain.The present study is aimed at investigating the therapeut

Further Results on Stability of Sampled-Data Systems Considering Time-Delay and Its Application to Electric Power Markets

This paper concentrates on analyzing the stability problems of aperiodic sampled-data systems with time delay.Based on Lyapunov theory, a new time-square-dependent two-side looped-functional (TTLF) is proposed, which can take full advantage of the second order terms with respect to time.And by using the intrinsic relationships of MOLDING CLAY state
