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]

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]

One of the most important technological developments in the field of medicine is Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance imaging techniques. This technique allows the size and shape of tumor areas in body tissues to be determined, making it easier for specialists to determine the type of tumor as well as whether it is benign or malignant. Various deep learning-based computer software have been developed to accurately detect tumor areas in tissue. Due to the lack of image data used in deep learning studies, a limitation naturally arises in studies in this field. In order to eliminate the lack of image data in these studies, image augmentation can be performed using deep learning methods as well as data augmentation methods using various image processing techniques. In this study, Generative Adversarial Networks, a deep learning technique, were employed to duplicate brain MR images and generate synthetic images. After the resulting MR images were made usable by undergoing various pre-processing, similarity rates to real images were calculated using metrics such as Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Structural similarity index and Mean Square Error, and by looking at these rates, realistic images were added to the data set and the data set was expanded.
