RESUMO
The rapid advancement of climate change and global warming have widespread impacts on society, including ecosystems, water security, food production, health, and infrastructure. To achieve significant global emission reductions, approximately 74% is expected to come from cutting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in energy supply and demand. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has attained global recognition as a preeminent approach for the mitigation of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, primarily by means of capturing and storing CO2 emissions originating from fossil fuel systems. Currently, geological models for storage location determination in CCS rely on limited sampling data from borehole surveys, which poses accuracy challenges. To tackle this challenge, our research project focuses on analyzing exposed rock formations, known as outcrops, with the goal of identifying the most effective backbone networks for classifying various strata types in outcrop images. We leverage deep learning-based outcrop semantic segmentation techniques using hybrid backbone networks, named OutcropHyBNet, to achieve accurate and efficient lithological classification, while considering texture features and without compromising computational efficiency. We conducted accuracy comparisons using publicly available benchmark datasets, as well as an original dataset expanded through random sampling of 13 outcrop images obtained using a stationary camera, installed on the ground. Additionally, we evaluated the efficacy of data augmentation through image synthesis using Only Adversarial Supervision for Semantic Image Synthesis (OASIS). Evaluation experiments on two public benchmark datasets revealed insights into the classification characteristics of different classes. The results demonstrate the superiority of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), specifically DeepLabv3, and Vision Transformers (ViTs), particularly SegFormer, under specific conditions. These findings contribute to advancing accurate lithological classification in geological studies using deep learning methodologies. In the evaluation experiments conducted on ground-level images obtained using a stationary camera and aerial images captured using a drone, we successfully demonstrated the superior performance of SegFormer across all categories.
RESUMO
This study was conducted using a drone with advanced mobility to develop a unified sensor and communication system as a new platform for in situ atmospheric measurements. As a major cause of air pollution, particulate matter (PM) has been attracting attention globally. We developed a small, lightweight, simple, and cost-effective multi-sensor system for multiple measurements of atmospheric phenomena and related environmental information. For in situ local area measurements, we used a long-range wireless communication module with real-time monitoring and visualizing software applications. Moreover, we developed four prototype brackets with optimal assignment of sensors, devices, and a camera for mounting on a drone as a unified system platform. Results of calibration experiments, when compared to data from two upper-grade PM2.5 sensors, demonstrated that our sensor system followed the overall tendencies and changes. We obtained original datasets after conducting flight measurement experiments at three sites with differing surrounding environments. The experimentally obtained prediction results matched regional PM2.5 trends obtained using long short-term memory (LSTM) networks trained using the respective datasets.

This paper presents a novel bed-leaving sensor system for real-time recognition of bed-leaving behavior patterns. The proposed system comprises five pad sensors installed on a bed, a rail sensor inserted in a safety rail, and a behavior pattern recognizer based on machine learning. The linear characteristic between loads and output was obtained from a load test to evaluate sensor output characteristics. Moreover, the output values change linearly concomitantly with speed to attain the sensor with the equivalent load. We obtained benchmark datasets of continuous and discontinuous behavior patterns from ten subjects. Recognition targets using our sensor prototype and their monitoring system comprise five behavior patterns: sleeping, longitudinal sitting, lateral sitting, terminal sitting, and leaving the bed. We compared machine learning algorithms of five types to recognize five behavior patterns. The experimentally obtained results revealed that the proposed sensor system improved recognition accuracy for both datasets. Moreover, we achieved improved recognition accuracy after integration of learning datasets as a general discriminator.

This study is intended to develop a stress measurement and visualization system for stress management in terms of simplicity and reliability. We present a classification and visualization method of mood states based on unsupervised machine learning (ML) algorithms. Our proposed method attempts to examine the relation between mood states and extracted categories in human communication from facial expressions, gaze distribution area and density, and rapid eye movements, defined as saccades. Using a psychological check sheet and a communication video with an interlocutor, an original benchmark dataset was obtained from 20 subjects (10 male, 10 female) in their 20s for four or eight weeks at weekly intervals. We used a Profile of Mood States Second edition (POMS2) psychological check sheet to extract total mood disturbance (TMD) and friendliness (F). These two indicators were classified into five categories using self-organizing maps (SOM) and U-Matrix. The relation between gaze and facial expressions was analyzed from the extracted five categories. Data from subjects in the positive categories were found to have a positive correlation with the concentrated distributions of gaze and saccades. Regarding facial expressions, the subjects showed a constant expression time of intentional smiles. By contrast, subjects in negative categories experienced a time difference in intentional smiles. Moreover, three comparative experiment results demonstrated that the feature addition of gaze and facial expressions to TMD and F clarified category boundaries obtained from U-Matrix. We verify that the use of SOM and its two variants is the best combination for the visualization of mood states.
