Drones have become essential tools across various industries due to their ability to provide real-time data and perform automated tasks. However, integrating multiple sensors on a single drone poses challenges such as payload limitations and data management issues. This paper proposes a comprehensive system that leverages advanced deep learning techniques, specifically an attention-based generative adversarial network (GAN), to address data scarcity in drone-collected time-series sensor data. By adjusting sensing frequency based on operational conditions while maintaining data resolution, our system ensures consistent and high-quality data collection. The spatiotemporal The attention mechanism within the GAN enhances the generation of synthetic data, filling gaps caused by reduced sensing frequency with realistic data. This approach improves the efficiency and performance of various applications, such as precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, and surveillance. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of our methodology in extending the operational range and duration of drones and providing reliable augmented data utilizing a variety of evaluation metrics. Furthermore, the superior performance of the proposed system was verified by comparing it with various comparative GAN models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The gas chromatography analysis method for chemical substances enables accurate analysis to precisely distinguish the components of a mixture. This paper presents a technique for augmenting time-series data of chemicals measured by gas chromatography instruments with artificial intelligence techniques such as generative adversarial networks (GAN). We propose a novel GAN algorithm called GCGAN for gas chromatography data, a unified model of autoencoder (AE) and GAN for effective time-series data learning with an attention mechanism. The proposed GCGAN utilizes AE to learn a limited number of data more effectively. We also build a layer of high-performance generative adversarial neural networks based on the analysis of the features of data measured by gas chromatography instruments. Then, based on the proposed learning, we synthesize the features embedded in the gas chromatography data into a feature distribution that extracts the temporal variability. GCGAN synthesizes the features embedded in the gas chromatography data into a feature distribution that extracts the temporal variability of the data over time. We have fully implemented the proposed GCGAN and experimentally verified that the data augmented by the GCGAN have the characteristic properties of the original gas chromatography data. The augmented data demonstrate high quality with the Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman correlation coefficient, and cosine similarity all exceeding 0.9, significantly enhancing the performance of AI classification models by 40%. This research can be effectively applied to various small dataset domains other than gas chromatography data, where data samples are limited and difficult to obtain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Accurate unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) trajectory tracking is crucial for the successful execution of UAV missions. Traditional global positioning system (GPS) methods face limitations in complex environments, and visual observation becomes challenging with distance and in low-light conditions. To address this challenge, we propose a comprehensive framework for UAV trajectory verification, integrating a range-based ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning system and advanced image processing technologies. Our key contribution is the development of the Spatial Trajectory Enhanced Attention Mechanism (STEAM), a novel attention module specifically designed for analyzing and classifying UAV trajectory patterns. This system enables real-time UAV trajectory tracking and classification, facilitating swift and accurate assessment of adherence to predefined optimal trajectories. Another major contribution of our work is the integration of a UWB system for precise UAV location tracking, complemented by our advanced image processing approach that includes a deep neural network (DNN) for interpolating missing data from images, thereby significantly enhancing the model's ability to detect abnormal maneuvers. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in UAV trajectory tracking, showcasing its robust performance irrespective of raw data quality. Furthermore, we validate the framework's performance using a lightweight learning model, emphasizing both its computational efficiency and exceptional classification accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
