Article Abstract

Background: To support dentists with limited experience, this study trained and compared six convolutional neural networks to detect crossbites and classify non-crossbite, frontal, and lateral crossbites using 2D intraoral photographs.

Methods: Based on 676 photographs from 311 orthodontic patients, six convolutional neural network models were trained and compared to classify (1) non-crossbite vs. crossbite and (2) non-crossbite vs. lateral crossbite vs. frontal crossbite. The trained models comprised DenseNet, EfficientNet, MobileNet, ResNet18, ResNet50, and Xception.

Findings: Among the models, Xception showed the highest accuracy (98.57%) in the test dataset for classifying non-crossbite vs. crossbite images. When additionally distinguishing between lateral and frontal crossbites, average accuracy decreased with the DenseNet architecture achieving the highest accuracy among the models with 91.43% in the test dataset.

Conclusions: Convolutional neural networks show high potential in processing clinical photographs and detecting crossbites. This study provides initial insights into how deep learning models can be used for orthodontic diagnosis of malocclusions based on intraoral 2D photographs.

To address the technical challenges associated with determining the chronological order of overlapping stamps and textual content in forensic document examination, this study proposes a novel non-destructive method that integrates hyperspectral imaging (HSI) with convolutional neural networks (CNNs). A multi-type cross-sequence dataset was constructed, comprising 60 samples of handwriting-stamp sequences and 20 samples of printed text-stamp sequences, all subjected to six months of natural aging. Spectral responses were collected across the 400-1000 nm range in the overlapping regions.

Genomic selection (GS) is a breeding technique that utilizes genomic markers to predict the genetic potential of crops and animals. This approach holds significant promise for accelerating the improvement of agronomic traits and addressing food security challenges. While traditional breeding methods based on statistical or machine learning techniques have been useful in predicting traits for some crops, they often fail to capture the complex interactions between genotypes and phenotypes.

Background: Interpretation of motor imagery (MI) in brain-computer interface (BCI) applications is largely driven by the use of electroencephalography (EEG) signals. However, precise classification in stroke patients remains challenging due to variability, non-stationarity, and abnormal EEG patterns.

New Methods: To address these challenges, an integrated architecture is proposed, combining multi-domain feature extraction with evolutionary optimization for enhanced EEG-based MI classification.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the standard surgical treatment for end-stage hip osteoarthritis, with its success dependent on precise preoperative planning, which, in turn, relies on accurate three-dimensional segmentation and reconstruction of the periarticular bone of the hip joint. However, patients with hip osteoarthritis often exhibit pathological characteristics, such as joint space narrowing, femoroacetabular impingement, osteophyte formation, and joint deformity. These changes present significant challenges for traditional manual or semi-automatic segmentation methods.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) tracking requires accurate target localization from aerial top-down perspectives while operating under the computational constraints of aerial platforms. Current mainstream UAV trackers, constrained by the limited resources, predominantly employ lightweight Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) extractor, coupled with an appearance-based fusion mechanism. The absence of comprehensive target perception significantly constrains the balance between tracking accuracy and computational efficiency.
