Deep Learning for Automatic Grapevine Varieties Identification: A Brief Review

Abstract
The Eurasian grapevine (\textit{Vitis vinifera L.}) is the most widely grown horticultural crop in the world and is important for the economy of many countries. In the wine production chain, grape varieties play an important role, as they directly influence the authenticity and classification of the product. Identifying the different grape varieties is therefore fundamental for quality control and control activities, as well as for regulating production. Currently, ampelography and molecular analysis are the main approaches to identifying grape varieties. However, both methods have limitations. Ampelography is subjective and prone to errors and is experiencing enormous difficulties as ampelographers are increasingly scarce. On the other hand, molecular analyses are very demanding in terms of cost and time. In this scenario, Deep Learning (DL) methods have emerged as a classification alternative to deal with the scarcity of ampelographers and avoid molecular analyses. In this study, the most recent and current methods for identifying grapevine varieties using DL classification-based approaches are presented through a systematic literature review. The steps of the standard DL-based classification pipeline were described for the 18 most relevant studies found in the literature, highlighting their pros and cons. Potential directions for improving this field of research were also presented.

UNIVERSAL ACCESS IN HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION, PT III, UAHCI 2024

Abstract
Pneumonia and COVID-19 are respiratory illnesses, the last caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome virus, coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Traditional detection processes can be slow, prone to errors, and laborious, leading to potential human mistakes and a limited ability to keep up with the speed of pathogen development. A web diagnosis application to aid the physician in the diagnosis process is presented, based on a modified deep neural network (AlexNet) to detect COVID-19 on X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans as well as to detect pneumonia on X-rays. The system reached accuracy results well above 90% in seven well-known and documented datasets regarding the detection of COVID-19 and Pneumonia on X-rays and COVID-19 in CT scans.
