1D convolutional neural networks and applications: A survey

During the last decade, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have become the de facto standard for various Computer Vision and Machine Learning operations. CNNs are feed-forward Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) with alternating convolutional and subsampling layers. Deep 2D CNNs with many hidden layers and millions of parameters have the ability to learn complex objects and patterns providing that they can be trained on a massive size visual database with ground-truth labels. With a proper training, this unique ability makes them the primary tool for various engineering applications for 2D signals such as images and video frames. Yet, this may not be a viable option in numerous applications over 1D signals especially when the training data is scarce or application-specific. To address this issue, 1D CNNs have recently been proposed and immediately achieved the state-of-the-art performance levels in several applications such as personalized biomedical data classification and early diagnosis, structural health monitoring, anomaly detection and identification in power electronics and motor-fault detection. Another major advantage is that a real-time and low-cost hardware implementation is feasible due to the simple and compact configuration of 1D CNNs that perform only 1D convolutions (scalar multiplications and additions). This paper presents a comprehensive review of the general architecture and principals of 1D CNNs along with their major engineering applications, especially focused on the recent progress in this field. Their state-of-the-art performance is highlighted concluding with their unique properties. The benchmark datasets and the principal 1D CNN software used in those applications are also publically shared in a dedicated website.

1-D CNNs for structural damage detection: Verification on a structural health monitoring benchmark data

In this paper, a novel one dimensional convolution neural network (1D-CNN) based structural damage assessment technique is validated with a benchmark study published by IASC-ASCE Structural Health Monitoring Task Group in 2003. In contrast with predominant machine learning based structural damage detection techniques of the literature, the technique shown in this paper runs without manual feature extraction or preprocessing stages. It runs directly on the raw vibration data. In CNNs, the stages of feature extraction and feature classification are merged into one stage; therefore, the proposed technique is efficient, feasible and economical. Utilizing the optimal features learned by 1D CNNs, the proposed CNN-based technique considerably improves the classification efficiency and accuracy. The performance improvement of the proposed technique is assessed by calculating the "Probability of Damage" values for damage estimations. The unseen structural damage cases between the two extreme end structural cases (zero damage and total damage) were successfully identified. Consequently, it is validated that the improved CNN-based technique is efficient since it predicted the level of damage consistently with the structural damage cases defined in the existing benchmark.

Efficiency Validation of One Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks for Structural Damage Detection Using A SHM Benchmark Data

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in future wireless networks is gaining attention due to their quick deployment without requiring the existing infrastructure. Earlier studies on UAV-aided communication consider generic scenarios, and very few studies exist on the evaluation of UAV-aided communication in practical networks. The existing studies also have several limitations, and hence, an extensive evaluation of the benefits of UAV communication in practical networks is needed. In this paper, we proposed a UAV-aided Wi-Fi Direct network architecture. In the proposed architecture, a UAV equipped with a Wi-Fi Direct group owner (GO) device, the so-called Soft-AP, is deployed in the network to serve a set of Wi-Fi stations. We propose to use a simpler yet efficient algorithm for the optimal placement of the UAV. The proposed algorithm dynamically places the UAV in the network to reduce the distance between the GO and client devices. The expected benefits of the proposed scheme are to maintain the connectivity of client devices to increase the overall network throughput and to improve energy efficiency. As a proof of concept, realistic simulations are performed in the NS-3 network simulator to validate the claimed benefits of the proposed scheme. The simulation results report major improvements of 23% in client association, 54% in network throughput, and 33% in energy consumption using single UAV relative to the case of stationary or randomly moving GO. Further improvements are achieved by increasing the number of UAVs in the network. To the best of our knowledge, no prior work exists on the evaluation of the UAV-aided Wi-Fi Direct networks.
