Hyperspectral imaging, combined with deep learning techniques, has been employed to classify maize. However, the implementation of these automated methods often requires substantial processing and computing resources, presenting a significant challenge for deployment on embedded devices due to high GPU power consumption. Access to Ghanaian local maize data for such classification tasks is also extremely difficult in Ghana.

Diamino naphthalene-AuNPs decorated graphene (AuNPsGO-DN) nanocomposite was synthesized for a rapid and sensitive immunosensor detecting PbP2a. The synthesized AuNPsGO-DN nanocomposites were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD).

Previous researchers have developed a computer aided system using deep learning-based convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to aid in faster detection of the retina diseases. However, these methods find it difficult to achieve better classification performance due to noise in the OCT image.

The objective of AI in agriculture is to control crop pests/diseases, reduce cost, and improve crop yield. In developing countries, the agriculture sector faces numerous challenges in the form of knowledge gap between farmers and technology, disease and pest infestation, lack of storage facilities, among others.

However, the majority of the existing capsule networks are deterministic with limited ability to express uncertainty. Many of them tend to be overconfident on out-of-distribution data, making them less trustworthy and hence reducing their suitability for practical adoption in safety-critical areas such as health and self-driving cars.

The connection fault of the two or some nodes can result in the connection fault of other nodes and cause iterative faults in the CMNNs. Therefore, the method of backup resources is considered to improve the fault-tolerant capability and survivability of the CMNNs.
