Power Line Segmentation and Detection of Broken Strands
Power lines are critical infrastructure components in power grid systems. Strand breakage is a kind of serious defect of power lines that can directly impact the reliability and safety of power supply. Due to the slender morphology of power lines and the difficulty in acquiring sufficient sample data, strand breakage detection remains a challenging task. Moreover, power grid corporations prefer to detect these defects on-site during power line inspection using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), rather than transmitting all of the inspection data to the central server for offline processing which causes sluggish response and huge communication burden.

Human Detection Approach for Intrusion in Hazardous Areas
Detecting intrusion in hazardous areas is one of the priorities and duties of safety enhancement. With the emergence of vision intelligence technology, hazardous-area-detection algorithms can support safety managers in predicting potential hazards and making decisions. However, because of the dynamic and complex nature of the jobsite, high-risk zones have a different geometry and can be changed following the schedule and workspace of activity. This leads to hazardous areas being annotated manually.

Methods of Making Lithium-Ion Batteries Membrane
Due to the growing demand for eco-friendly products, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have gained widespread attention as an energy storage solution. With the global demand for clean and sustainable energy, the social, economic, and environmental significance of LIBs is becoming more widely recognized. LIBs are composed of cathode and anode electrodes, electrolytes, and separators. Notably, the separator, a pivotal and indispensable component in LIBs that primarily consists of a porous membrane material, warrants significant research attention.

Particle Swarm Optimization for Single-Rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
A unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is a pilotless aircraft with the ability to fly and stay in a hover state without any human interaction. They are piloted remotely through control commands from a ground station. Particle Swarm Optimization is a global metaheuristic optimization method that belongs to the family of algorithms based on the swarm intelligence concept introduced by Kennedy and Eberhart.

Traditional Approaches to Aircraft SPHM
Structural prognostics and health management (SPHM), a vital discipline in aerospace engineering, emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring, diagnosis, and prediction of the health of aircraft structural systems. By capturing and analyzing data from a wide array of sensors and monitoring systems, SPHM systems play an instrumental role in facilitating the real-time evaluation of an aircraft’s structural integrity throughout its operational lifespan.

Flexible Photovoltaics
Flexible PVs encompass the second and third generations of photovoltaic (PV) materials. Both perovskite (PSCs) and organic PV (OPV) can be integrated into PV textile membranes, which benefit from their flexibility and easy production techniques, similar to textile processes, and this has created new markets for PV applications. The flexibility of solar cells mainly depends on the substrates used. They can be divided into (i) plastic and (ii) metallic substrates. Plastic ones are composed of polymeric materials (e.g., PEN, PET, PTFE, ETFE). These substrates are characterised by low cost, high optical transparency, chemical stability, and favourable bendability.

Semantic Segmentation of Key Railroad Structures
To ensure efficient railroad operation and maintenance management, the accurate reconstruction of railroad Building Information Modeling (BIM models is a crucial step. The segmentation of railroad point cloud data is often challenging due to the large volume and complex structure of the data, making manual division a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. However, the dominant structures in railroads are typically linear, such as tracks and power lines, which allows for segmentation by leveraging geometric features and corresponding algorithms.

Drive Cycles for Electrochemical Propulsion
Automotive drive cycles have existed since the 1960s. They started as requirements as being solely used for emissions testing. During the past decade, they became popular with scientists and researchers in the testing of electrochemical vehicles and power devices. They help simulate realistic driving scenarios anywhere from system to component-level design.

Crack Analysis in Structures Using Image Processing Technique
Structural health monitoring (SHM) involves the control and analysis of mechanical systems to monitor the variation of geometric features of engineering structures. Damage processing is one of the issues that can be addressed by using several techniques derived from image processing. There are two types of SHM: contact-based and non-contact methods. Sensors, cameras, and accelerometers are examples of contact-based SHM, whereas photogrammetry, infrared thermography, and laser imaging are non-contact SHM techniques.
