Cracks in buildings are a source of concern as they may indicate structural problems. Cracks in buildings are one of the major problems with concrete structures, as they affect the appearance of the building, compromise the integrity of the masonry, jeopardize building safety, and reduce the durability of the structure. Cracks in buildings can be a cause for concern and may indicate a potential structural problem that could jeopardize the safety and stability of the building. Understanding the root causes of these cracks is crucial to determining appropriate preventive measures and repair methods. In this study, crack and slope control in buildings was performed with an image processing-based measurement system developed using CNN deep learning algorithms. A dataset of 294 photographs was used for the study. The data were subjected to image processing, preprocessing, and detection with CNN. The accuracy rate is 0.9716 for the VGG-16 architecture and 0.9513 for the Inception-V3 architecture. It was concluded that there is no significant difference between the accuracy rates of the architectures. All vertical and horizontal cracks with a thickness of 2 mm and a continuity of 4 cm were detected. Thus, crack control in buildings can be done quickly and reliably, and building safety will be ensured. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recognition of handwritten digits has recently gained importance and attracted the attention of many scientists, as it is used in many machine learning, deep learning and computer vision applications. Hyperparameter optimization involves determining a set of values aimed at increasing accuracy in both classification and prediction. It is also aimed to optimize the performance in feature selection by regulating the parameters selected by the algorithms more accurately. In this study, a convolutional neural network was used to recognize handwritten digits using the MNIST dataset. There are many open source hyperparameter libraries that deep learning developers can use to determine hyperparameters. In the developed model, hyperparameter optimization techniques were applied using Optuna, HyperOpt and Scikitoptimize libraries and the results were evaluated. Optimization times for hyperparameter libraries and the change in the success rate in recognizing handwritten digits were analyzed. The model trained with randomly given parameters achieved 78.45%, 97.13%, 75.62%, 76.95%, 97.46% and 97.27% accuracy, while the model trained with optimized hyperparameters achieved 99.26% accuracy.

With the rapid advancement of technology, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing in various sectors such as education, health, security and defense. A critical application of AI is highway management, especially with the rise of autonomous vehicles. The focus of this study is to address the problem of deformations in highway marking lines that pose challenges for autonomous vehicles and affect traffic safety. The research involves using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to create an original image dataset of highway lines. This data set will be processed with image enhancement techniques and deep learning models. The first stage involves cleaning the images from foreign matter. Deep learning models will then identify potential line deformations. These models will be developed and trained for optimum accuracy using various performance metrics. In the study, the mobilenet v3 model, trained with the images in the data set, reached an accuracy rate of 89.58%, the resnet50 v2 model 77.78% and the Convolutional Neural Network model 92.55%. The ultimate goal is to implement a real-time system to accurately detect and report differences in highway lines by combining the UAV with the computer system on the ground. This will ensure timely notification to authorities and help prevent traffic safety problems related to line deformations. This approach demonstrates the practical applications of artificial intelligence in improving road safety and autonomous vehicle navigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rice, obtained through the processing of paddy, is one of the most widely consumed food products globally. However, diseases affecting rice plants, particularly those occurring on the rice leaves, pose significant challenges for farmers. The identification of rice plant diseases demands specialized knowledge, making it a complex issue to tackle. Often, due to insufficient understanding, farmers misdiagnose diseases and apply incorrect treatments. Rapid and accurate disease diagnosis plays a pivotal role in enhancing healthy and productive crop cultivation. To address this problem, a deep learning-based model was developed to detect rice plant diseases. The model was trained on a dataset containing four different rice plant diseases and achieved a successful outcome with a loss value of 0.0014. Additionally, four different deep learning algorithms were used to create models through transfer learning with pre-trained ImageNet models, and a comparison of their performance was presented. The most successful model was obtained using the VGG16 transfer learning architecture. Experimental results in this study demonstrate that the proposed transfer learning method can effectively recognize rice leaf diseases, providing a reliable approach for identifying leaf diseases in various plants.

The physical properties of fruit and vegetable products play an important role in their quality classification. With the existing manual methods, disease, pesticide and quality status of agricultural products are checked during the control stages. Manual sorting and classification of products requires expertise and the process is time consuming and labor intensive. Today, with the developing technology, the processing and marketing of products can be realized in optimum time and efficiency with the software techniques used in the fields of agriculture and food. In this study, date palm fruit, which has an important share in the fruit and vegetable market, is considered. The use of image processing and artificial intelligence techniques in classifying the quality of date fruits makes the sales process more consistent and efficient. Within the scope of the study, four different artificial intelligence techniques were used with a uniquely prepared dataset. The dataset consists of three different classes: good, bad and medium quality dates. The dataset specially prepared for the study was trained with MobileNetV2, ResNetV2-50, DenseNet- 201 and Inception-v3 deep learning models. Among the four models used in the study, MobileNetV2 model was determined as the most successful model with 95% accuracy rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the rapid advancement of drone technologies, the use of drones has become of significant importance, particularly raising serious concerns in the areas of security and privacy. Deep learning and transfer learning artificial intelligence techniques hold promise for drone detection. However, to successfully apply these techniques, the need to develop new and efficient solutions for accurately detecting complex aerial conditions, variable speeds, and highly maneuverable drones is inevitable. In this study, the performance of training models using the EfficientNet model for drone detection was compared, and the challenges encountered were discussed, offering a perspective on potential future successes. According to the obtained results, when more layers are frozen in the transfer learning method, the required GPU memory for training decreases, leading to reduced GPU usage. This indicates that models trained with larger image sizes can be trained more quickly. Deep learning methods require more data and GPU resources, which extend the training time. In the conducted experiments, the best success rate achieved by a model trained with the deep learning method was 97.3%, while the model trained using the transfer learning method achieved the highest success rate of 99.7%. This demonstrates that transfer learning achieves higher accuracy with less data. However, the success rate obtained through the deep learning method is also considered quite satisfactory.
