Over the past decades, deep learning techniques have attracted increased attention from various research and industrial domains aligned with the development of Industry Internet-of-Things(IIoT). Specifically, with the advantage of data-driven methods, industrial organizations are seeking novel proactive strategies supported by analytic models to guarantee the quality of their production by observing degradation or predicting failure ahead of the occurrence of the component or asset. Predictive strategies are expected to promise the influence of unnecessary maintenance interruptions and mitigate the consequence of that, hence, extending the remaining useful life of products. This paper conducts a survey of the utilization of deep learning technologies on engineering applications where they provide satisfactory solutions with respect to specific data types or input signals. 106 primary papers are reviewed on deep learning–driven approaches which mainly explore five of the most popular architectures in the application of predictive maintenance. The main content of this paper summarizes the common advantages of each architecture and, accordingly, points out their limitations, as well as describes the application scopes of fully connected deep neural networks, convolutional neural networks, stacked autoencoders, deep belief networks, and deep recurrent neural networks. Based on the technique discussion for each of them, we intend to provide a comprehensive understanding and guidance of the appropriate usage of deep learning architectures to devise an effective predictive maintenance strategy for the scientific and industrial developers whose expertise lies in the prior domain knowledge of multi-source isomerization data. Moreover, the main content demonstrated the summarization of the decisive factor by which the incremental stages of the approaches were determined, fundamentally including the dataset specification, feature extraction, and the integration of deep learning approaches.

Due to the inevitable light absorption and scattering, underwater images always suffer from severe quality degradation, leading to significant performance decline for various maritime engineering-related applications. In recent years, deep neural networks (DNNs) have been proven to achieve high-quality enhancement of underwater images, which aims to extract and learn abstract features to exhibit superior performance. However, existing solutions often stack multilayer processing units to enrich features, which not only significantly burdens computational load but also encounters difficulties in fully utilizing and interacting between features at different depths. To address the above problems, this paper presents a cost-effective underwater image enhancement network via cascaded feature extraction, termed CFENet. Specifically, we develop a cost-effective cascaded structure for sufficient feature extraction and multiscale establishment of pixel-level long-range dependencies. In addition, we construct a dual-branch structure for effective feature fusion, so that the detailed texture and semantic information in the image can be simultaneously enhanced. Extensive experiments reveal the superiority of our proposed CFENet in both underwater image enhancement effects and computational complexity. Sufficient ablation study is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of each component in the network. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Owing to the development of deep learning, indoor personnel detection methods based on deep neural networks have been extensively investigated in recent years. However, more complex and deeper network structures may consume more computational resources, which seriously limits the deployment of large-scale deep neural networks on lightweight devices. In view of this, a lightweight anchor-free one-level feature indoor personnel detection method based on transformer (LAOF-IPDT) is proposed in this paper, which is deployed on two embedded devices and achieves good detection accuracy. In the feature extraction backbone, an enhanced cross-stage partial ghost convolution block with ghost convolution and channel shuffle is designed to extract shallow features. Additionally, to obtain more comprehensive global features in the high-level semantic structure, an embedded vision transformer cross-stage partial block is constructed by embedding a lightweight mobile-friendly vision transformer. For the path-aggregation neck, a lightweight feature pyramid network is proposed, which integrates multi-scale feature maps to obtain richer one-level feature representations. Subsequently, a dilated convolution group block is applied to expand the one-level feature receptive field and detection is accomplished using a one-level feature map. For the detection head, an anchor-free mechanism is applied to reduce the hyper-parameter interference of anchor boxes. Extensive experiments on four datasets indicated that the LAOF-IPDT outperforms other lightweight networks in terms of accuracy, speed, model parameters, and model size. For example, the frames per second of the LAOF-IPDT are 8.39 and 14.67 on CPU devices and Jetson Nano devices, respectively, and the mean average precision is 84.49%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
