Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Machine learning is constantly extending its applications to various fields, such as image processing, the Internet of Things, user interface, big data, manufacturing, and management. In particular, since data are required to build machine learning networks, sensors are one of the most important technologies. In addition, machine learning networks can contribute to the improvement of sensor performances and the creation of new sensor applications. This Special Issue addresses all types of machine learning applications related to sensors and imaging.

The topics of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Machine learning for improving sensor performance;
  • New sensor applications using machine learning;
  • Machine learning-based HCI;
  • Machine learning-based localization and object tracking;
  • Machine learning for sensor signal processing;
  • Machine learning-based analysis of the big data collected from sensors

Electrodermal Activity (EDA) has become of great interest in the last several decades, due to the advent of new devices that allow for recording a lot of psychophysiological data for remotely monitoring patients’ health. In this work, a novel method of analyzing EDA signals is proposed with the ultimate goal of helping caregivers assess the emotional states of autistic people, such as stress and frustration, which could cause aggression onset. Since many autistic people are non-verbal or suffer from alexithymia, the development of a method able to detect and measure these arousal states could be useful to aid with predicting imminent aggression. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to classify their emotional states to prevent these crises with proper actions. Several studies were conducted to classify EDA signals, usually employing learning methods, where data augmentation was often performed to countervail the lack of extensive datasets. Differently, in this work, we use a model to generate synthetic data that are employed to train a deep neural network for EDA signal classification. This method is automatic and does not require a separate step for features extraction, as in EDA classification solutions based on machine learning. The network is first trained with synthetic data and then tested on another set of synthetic data, as well as on experimental sequences. In the first case, an accuracy of 96% is reached, which becomes 84% in the second case, thus demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed approach and its high performance. Full article

Generative adversarial network (GAN)-based data augmentation is used to enhance the performance of object detection models. It comprises two stages: training the GAN generator to learn the distribution of a small target dataset, and sampling data from the trained generator to enhance model performance. In this paper, we propose a pipelined model, called robust data augmentation GAN (RDAGAN), that aims to augment small datasets used for object detection. First, clean images and a small datasets containing images from various domains are input into the RDAGAN, which then generates images that are similar to those in the input dataset. Thereafter, it divides the image generation task into two networks: an object generation network and image translation network. The object generation network generates images of the objects located within the bounding boxes of the input dataset and the image translation network merges these images with clean images. A quantitative experiment confirmed that the generated images improve the YOLOv5 model’s fire detection performance. A comparative evaluation showed that RDAGAN can maintain the background information of input images and localize the object generation location. Moreover, ablation studies demonstrated that all components and objects included in the RDAGAN play pivotal roles. Full article
