This document discusses two deep learning models for predicting steering angles of a self-driving car from camera images. The first model uses 3D convolutional layers followed by LSTM layers to incorporate temporal information. The second model uses transfer learning with pre-trained CNN models. Both models were tested in simulation and showed potential for real-world autonomous driving applications by accurately predicting steering angles from camera images alone.
Residual balanced attention network for real-time traffic scene semantic segm...IJECEIAES
Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are among the most focused research in this century. Actually, autonomous driving provides very advanced tasks in terms of road safety monitoring which include identifying dangers on the road and protecting pedestrians. In the last few years, deep learning (DL) approaches and especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been extensively used to solve ITS problems such as traffic scene semantic segmentation and traffic signs classification. Semantic segmentation is an important task that has been addressed in computer vision (CV). Indeed, traffic scene semantic segmentation using CNNs requires high precision with few computational resources to perceive and segment the scene in real-time. However, we often find related work focusing only on one aspect, the precision, or the number of computational parameters. In this regard, we propose RBANet, a robust and lightweight CNN which uses a new proposed balanced attention module, and a new proposed residual module. Afterward, we have simulated our proposed RBANet using three loss functions to get the best combination using only 0.74M parameters. The RBANet has been evaluated on CamVid, the most used dataset in semantic segmentation, and it has performed well in terms of parameters’ requirements and precision compared to related work.

Machine learning based augmented reality for improved learning application th...IJECEIAES
Detection of objects and their location in an image are important elements of current research in computer vision. In May 2020, Meta released its state-ofthe-art object-detection model based on a transformer architecture called detection transformer (DETR). There are several object-detection models such as region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN), you only look once (YOLO) and single shot detectors (SSD), but none have used a transformer to accomplish this task. These models mentioned earlier, use all sorts of hyperparameters and layers. However, the advantages of using a transformer pattern make the architecture simple and easy to implement. In this paper, we determine the name of a chemical experiment through two steps: firstly, by building a DETR model, trained on a customized dataset, and then integrate it into an augmented reality mobile application. By detecting the objects used during the realization of an experiment, we can predict the name of the experiment using a multi-class classification approach. The combination of various computer vision techniques with augmented reality is indeed promising and offers a better user experience.
The International Journal of Engineering & Science is aimed at providing a platform for researchers, engineers, scientists, or educators to publish their original research results, to exchange new ideas, to disseminate information in innovative designs, engineering experiences and technological skills. It is also the Journal's objective to promote engineering and technology education. All papers submitted to the Journal will be blind peer-reviewed. Only original articles will be published.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
