MMNavAgent: Multi-Magnification WSI Navigation Agent for Clinically Consistent Whole-Slide Analysis

Recent AI navigation approaches aim to improve Whole-Slide Image (WSI) diagnosis by modeling spatial exploration and selecting diagnostically relevant regions, yet most operate at a single fixed magnification or rely on predefined magnification traversal. In clinical practice, pathologists examine slides across multiple magnifications and selectively inspect only necessary scales, dynamically integrating global and cellular evidence in a sequential manner. This mismatch prevents existing methods from modeling cross-magnification interactions and adaptive magnification selection inherent to real diagnostic workflows. To these, we propose a clinically consistent Multi-Magnification WSI Navigation Agent (MMNavAgent) that explicitly models multi magnification interaction and adaptive magnification selection. Specifically, we introduce a Cross-Magnification navigation Tool (CMT) that aggregates contextual information from adjacent magnifications to enhance discriminative representations along the navigation path. We further introduce a Magnification Selection Tool (MST) that leverages memory-driven reasoning within the agent framework to enable interactive and adaptive magnification selection, mimicking the sequential decision process of pathologists. Extensive experiments on a public dataset demonstrate improved diagnostic performance, with 1.45% gain of AUC and 2.93% gain of BACC over a non-agent baseline. Code will be public upon acceptance.

Image Recognition of Oil Leakage Area Based on Logical Semantic Discrimination

Implementing precise detection of oil leaks in peak load equipment through image analysis can significantly enhance inspection quality and ensure the system's safety and reliability. However, challenges such as varying shapes of oil-stained regions, background noise, and fluctuating lighting conditions complicate the detection process. To address this, the integration of logical rule-based discrimination into image recognition has been proposed. This approach involves recognizing the spatial relationships among objects to semantically segment images of oil spills using a Mask RCNN network. The process begins with histogram equalization to enhance the original image, followed by the use of Mask RCNN to identify the preliminary positions and outlines of oil tanks, the ground, and areas of potential oil contamination. Subsequent to this identification, the spatial relationships between these objects are analyzed. Logical rules are then applied to ascertain whether the suspected areas are indeed oil spills. This method's effectiveness has been confirmed by testing on images captured from peak power equipment in the field. The results indicate that this approach can adeptly tackle the challenges in identifying oil-contaminated areas, showing a substantial improvement in accuracy compared to existing methods.

High-resolution power equipment recognition based on improved self-attention

The current trend of automating inspections at substations has sparked a surge in interest in the field of transformer image recognition. However, due to restrictions in the number of parameters in existing models, high-resolution images can't be directly applied, leaving significant room for enhancing recognition accuracy. Addressing this challenge, the paper introduces a novel improvement on deep self-attention networks tailored for this issue. The proposed model comprises four key components: a foundational network, a region proposal network, a module for extracting and segmenting target areas, and a final prediction network. The innovative approach of this paper differentiates itself by decoupling the processes of part localization and recognition, initially using low-resolution images for localization followed by high-resolution images for recognition. Moreover, the deep self-attention network's prediction mechanism uniquely incorporates the semantic context of images, resulting in substantially improved recognition performance. Comparative experiments validate that this method outperforms the two other prevalent target recognition models, offering a groundbreaking perspective for automating electrical equipment inspections.

Overhead Line Defect Recognition Based on Unsupervised Semantic Segmentation

Overhead line inspection greatly benefits from defect recognition using visible light imagery. Addressing the limitations of existing feature extraction techniques and the heavy data dependency of deep learning approaches, this paper introduces a novel defect recognition framework. This is built on the Faster RCNN network and complemented by unsupervised semantic segmentation. The approach involves identifying the type and location of the target equipment, utilizing semantic segmentation to differentiate between the device and its backdrop, and finally employing similarity measures and logical rules to categorize the type of defect. Experimental results indicate that this methodology focuses more on the equipment rather than the defects when identifying issues in overhead lines. This leads to a notable enhancement in accuracy and exhibits impressive adaptability. Thus, offering a fresh perspective for automating the inspection of distribution network equipment.

Transmission line condition prediction based on semi-supervised learning

Transmission line state assessment and prediction are of great significance for the rational formulation of operation and maintenance strategy and improvement of operation and maintenance level. Aiming at the problem that existing models cannot take into account the robustness and data demand, this paper proposes a state prediction method based on semi-supervised learning. Firstly, for the expanded feature vector, the regular matrix is used to fill in the missing data, and the sparse coding problem is solved by representation learning. Then, with the help of a small number of labelled samples to initially determine the category centers of line segments in different defective states. Finally, the estimated parameters of the model are corrected using unlabeled samples. Example analysis shows that this method can improve the recognition accuracy and use data more efficiently than the existing models.
