Enhancing road damage detection performance using the YOLOv9 model

10.11591/ijict.v15i2.pp616-624
Muhammad Farkhan Adhitama , Sutikno Sutikno , Rismiyati Rismiyati
Roads are essential infrastructure that support community mobility, and their condition significantly impacts road user safety. However, manual road damage detection remains inefficient, time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error. To address this issue, this study proposed the YOLOv9 model for automated road damage detection and explored parameter combinations to optimize its performance. The proposed solution leverages the YOLOv9 model, which offers enhanced detection speed and accuracy compared to previous YOLO versions, due to its improved backbone and dynamic label assignment techniques. The method uses pre-trained weights and performs parameter tuning to adapt the model for identifying common road defects, including potholes, longitudinal, lateral, and alligator cracks. A publicly available dataset of road condition images was used for training and evaluation. Experimental results demonstrated that the optimized YOLOv9 model achieved a mean average precision (mAP) of 62.8%, indicating a promising ability to detect multiple types of road damage accurately. This study highlights the potential of YOLOv9 as an effective tool for road monitoring systems, contributing to proactive maintenance strategies and more efficient infrastructure management.

This study develops and validates a mobile health (mHealth) adoption model to enhance diabetes self-management among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in UNRWA primary healthcare clinics across Palestinian refugee camps. This study fills a gap in research on mHealth adoption in low-resource settings by combining the technology acceptance model (TAM), task-technology fit (TTF), and self-efficacy theory (SET). A descriptive, cross-sectional design was employed using a structured, validated questionnaire administered to 503 T2DM patients. Reliability analysis yielded high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.808–0.966). Structural equation modeling (SEM) using SPSS and AMOS validated the model fit, evidenced by a comparative fit index (CFI) of 0.941 and a root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) of 0.048. Out of the eleven factors that were examined, Perceived Usefulness had the most positive impact on self-care management (β = 0.67, p < 0.001), while Task Requirement had the least. Notably, Perceived Self-Efficacy showed no significant effect on behavior (p > 0.05). These findings highlight usability, usefulness, and tool functionality as central to promoting mHealth use. The validated model can be modified for other chronic disease settings in comparable healthcare environments and provides practical advice for creating patient-centered mHealth interventions.

Advanced machine learning for enhanced abdominal organ segmentation

10.11591/ijict.v15i2.pp759-768
Rohini Pawar , Rohini Jadhav , Rohit Jadhav
This research evaluates the ResUnet model’s performance in using computed tomography (CT) images to segment various abdominal organs. Weak boundaries, computing efficiency, and anatomical diversity are the current obstacles in abdominal multi-organ segmentation. By merging residual networks with U-Net, ResUnet overcomes obstacles by increasing precision and effectiveness, which qualifies it for use in medicine. The model’s effectiveness was assessed on a number of organs, and the segmentation accuracy was measured using the dice similarity coefficient (DSC). The ResUnet model’s ability to precisely segment organs with distinct borders was proved by its exceptional accuracy in segmenting important organs, such as the liver (mean DSC: 0.880) and spleen (mean DSC: 0.830). However, the model struggled to separate the esophagus correctly (mean DSC: 0.000) and struggled with smaller and more complex organs like the pancreas (mean DSC: 0.429) and gallbladder (mean DSC: 0.143). These results highlight the method’s limitations when handling organs with asymmetrical shapes or hazy borders.

Coastlines are highly dynamic due to both natural processes and anthropogenic factors, including global warming and sea level rise. Accurate coastline segmentation is essential for effective monitoring and management. Although previous studies have applied deep learning for coastline detection, many existing models still suffer from instability across scenes, blurred boundaries, and segmentation artifacts, indicating that model generalization remains a challenge. This study aims to develop a more robust coastline segmentation approach by introducing an automated majority voting strategy that integrates three deep learning models: ResNet50, ResNet18, and MobileNet-V2. Landsat 8 OLI imagery is used for training and testing. The Jaccard index results show that ResNet18, ResNet50, and MobileNet-V2 achieved scores of 0.96, 0.98, and 0.95 respectively, while the proposed majority voting method also achieved 0.98. Despite the producing a similar numerical score to the best individual model (ResNet50), the ensemble method improves segmentation consistency by reducing artifacts such as unwanted peripheral shapes and cracks within land areas. These findings demonstrate that combining multiple segmentation outputs yields more stable and reliable coastline detection than using single models. Future work will apply this approach to broader Indonesian coastal regions to further assess its generalizability across diverse shoreline conditions.

The rapid development of internet of things (IoT) is prompting many people to design applications, particularly for monitoring applications based on mobile apps. This includes research designs to monitor electrical parameters from PV and the development of health monitoring applications. Previous research required a separate application to scan each IoT device. In this research, a mobile app-based IoT monitoring system was built using flutter. With this, people no longer need to design separate mobile apps for various IoT devices. This application utilizes the flutter framework, while the cloud component uses ThingSpeak. These research results show that data from multiple IoT devices can be transferred to the user’s mobile app. This application enables the monitoring of various IoT devices through a single mobile app, thereby enhancing the efficiency of IoT device design and management.

This paper presents a machine learning (ML)-enhanced software defined radio (SDR) architecture optimized for adaptive 5G wireless communication. The system incorporates predictive ML algorithms to enable real-time modulation selection, finite impulse response (FIR) filter reconfiguration, and spectrum adaptation based on dynamic channel parameters such as bit error rate (BER), received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). A decision tree classifier and a deep Q-learning agent dynamically determine optimal modulation schemes (BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, OQAM) and filter tap configurations (4/8/16 taps), ensuring efficient communication under varying network conditions. Implemented on a Xilinx Zynq SoC using Verilog for datapath design and Python for ML control via AXI4-Lite, the architecture achieves a maximum operating frequency of 182.4 MHz, 40.7% logic utilization, and only 122.3 mW power consumption. Compared to existing SDR implementations, the system demonstrates a 17% frequency improvement, 28% power reduction, and 21% area savings. Real-time electrocardiogram (ECG) transmission confirms the system’s adaptability, achieving BER < 10⁻³ at 22 dB SNR and < 10⁻⁵ at 26 dB. These results affirm the viability of the proposed ML-SDR for edge-based biomedical and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) applications in 5G networks.

In fact, the pre-processed, confirmed data from a qualified doctor is used for this research. Early prediction of myocardial infarction (MI) is proposed by many researchers. They have used Kaggle datasets that is not recent, and they work on post MI. We have proposed early myocardial infraction detection works on unsupervised datasets. To identify myocardial infraction, numerous machines learning supervised algorithms, including decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), are employed in the literature. In this study, we use the score tree algorithm (STA), which operates on an unsupervised dataset, to present a unique early MI prediction method.
