Plant diseases present a major risk to worldwide food security and the sustainability of agriculture, leading to substantial economic losses and hindering rural livelihoods. Conventional methods for disease detection, including visual inspection and laboratory-based techniques, are limited in their scalability, efficiency, and accuracy. This paper addresses the critical problem of accurately detecting and diagnosing plant diseases using advanced machine learning techniques, specifically vision transformers (ViTs), to overcome these limitations. ViTs leverage self-attention mechanisms to capture intricate patterns in plant images, enabling accurate and efficient disease classification. This paper reviews the literature on deep learning techniques in agriculture, emphasizing the growing interest in ViTs for plant disease detection. Additionally, it presents a comprehensive methodology for training and evaluating ViT models for plant disease classification tasks. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of ViTs in accurately identifying various plant diseases across a balanced 55 classes dataset, highlighting their potential to revolutionize precision agriculture and promote sustainable farming practices.

Buffers balancing of buffer-aided relays in 5G non-orthogonal multiple access transmission internet of things networks

10.11591/ijece.v15i2.pp1774-1782
Mohammad Alkhwatrah , Nidal Qasem
Buffer-aided cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) enhances the efficiency of utilizing the spectral by allowing more users to share the same re- sources to establish massive connectivity. This is remarkably attractive in the fifth generation (5G) and beyond systems, where a massive number of links is essential like in the internet of things (IoT). However, the capability of buffer co-operation in reducing the outage is limited due to empty and full buffers, where empty buffers can not transmit and full buffers can not receive data packets. Therefore, in this paper, we propose balancing the buffer content of the inter-connected relays, so the buffers that are more full send packets to the emptier buffers, hence all buffers are more balanced and farther from being empty or full. The simulations show that the proposed balancing technique has improved the network outage probability. The results show that the impact of the balancing is more effective as the number of relays in the network is increased. Further- more, utilizing the balancing with a lower number of relays may lead to better performance than that of more relays without balancing. In addition, giving the balancing different levels of priorities gives different levels of enhancement.

The information disseminated by online media is often presented in the form of images, in order to quickly captivate readers and increase audience ratings. However, these images can be manipulated for malicious purposes, such as influencing public opinion, undermining media credibility, disrupting democratic processes or creating conflict within society. Various approaches, whether relying on manually developed features or deep learning, have been devised to detect falsified images. However, they frequently prove less effective when confronted with widespread and multiple manipulations. To address this challenge, in our study, we have designed a model comprising a constrained convolution layer combined with an attention mechanism and a transfer learning ResNet50 network. These components are intended to automatically learn image manipulation features in the initial layer and extract spatial features, respectively. It makes possible to detect various falsifications with much more accuracy and precision. The proposed model has been trained and tested on real datasets sourced from the literature, which include MediaEval and Casia. The obtained results indicate that our proposal surpasses other models documented in the literature. Specifically, we achieve an accuracy of 87% and a precision of 93% on the MediaEval dataset. In comparison, the performance of methods from the literature on the same dataset does not exceed 84% for accuracy and 90% for precision.

Machine learning based stator-winding fault severity detection in induction motors

10.11591/ijeecs.v38.i1.pp182-192
Partha Mishra , Shubhasish Sarkar , Sandip Saha Chowdhury , Santanu Das
Approximately 35% of all induction motor defects are caused by stator inter-turn faults. In this paper a novel algorithm has been proposed to analyze the three-phase stator current signals captured from the motor while it is in operation. The suggested method seeks to identify stator inter-turn short circuit faults in early stage and take the appropriate action to prevent the motor's condition from getting worse. Three-phase current signals have been captured under healthy and faulty conditions of the motor. Involving discrete wavelet transform (DWT) based decomposition followed by reconstruction using inverse DWT (IDWT), 50 Hz fundamental component has been removed from the captured raw current signals. Subsequently, from each phase current 15 statistical parameters have been retrieved. The statistical parameters include mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, peak-to-peak, root mean square (RMS), energy, crest factor, form factor, impulse factor, and margin factor. At the end, a standard machine learning algorithm namely error correcting output codes-support vector machine (ECOC-SVM) has been employed to classify six different severity of stator winding faults. The proposed fault diagnosis method is load and motor-rating independent.

Criteria weighting methods in decision support system (DSS) face various challenges and limitations that can affect their accuracy and reliability. One of the main challenges is subjectivity, this subjective assessment can reduce the objectivity and consistency of results. The main objective of the new weighting method grey geometric mean (G2M) weighting is to provide more objective and robust criteria weights under conditions of uncertainty and incomplete data. The new G2M weighting approach has a significant potential impact on the DSS field, it has the potential to generate more effective and efficient decisions, which can improve organizational performance, reduce risk and optimize outcomes. Pearson correlation test results of two sets of rankings generated by DSS methods namely grey relational analysis (GRA), simple additive weighting (SAW), multi-attributive ideal-real comparative analysis (MAIRCA), weighted product (WP), combined compromise solution (COCOSO), vlsekriterijumska optimizacija i kompromisno resenje (VIKOR), and a new additive ratio assessment (ARAS) that there is a strong positive correlation between the two methods using G2M weighting criteria. The high correlation value indicates that the rankings of the methods used tend to move together, giving confidence in the consistency and validity of the resulting ranking results. This gives confidence that both methods can be used simultaneously or interchangeably with consistent results. The use of G2M weighting in the DSS method used can support better decision-making by providing consistent information and validity of ranking results.
