    Ai-Based Urine Microscopy Image Analysis for Predicting Urinary Tract and Renal Diseases
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2026-05-29) Senanayake, K; Panagoda, P; Dharmapriya, S; Chathurya, R; Wijendra, D; De Silva, H; Jayawardana, D
    The manual microscopic examination of urine is a crucial step in diagnosis of urinary tract and renal diseases. However, the process is time-consuming and operator dependent. Most of the existing automated urinalysis techniques only consider the microscopic examination of individual components or the black-box-based prediction models. There is a lack of a comprehensive framework that incorporates the microscopic examination of the microscopic components with the clinical diagnostic logic. In this regard, the present work proposes an artificial intelligence-based urinalysis system for the microscopic examination of the components in the urine sample to generate diagnostic outcomes. In the proposed system, the microscopic components like white blood cells, red blood cells, bacteria, yeast, crystals, and casts are detected and analyzed to generate the diagnostic outcomes for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection, kidney stone risk, hematuria causes, and casts-related renal diseases. In the proposed system, efficient lightweight models ensure precision and effectiveness in identifying various biological entities. White blood cells are detected with a mAP@0.5 score of 0.96, yeast with over 0.94, and crystals with more than 0.91, yielding a classification accuracy of 99.41% for crystals. The system detects microscopic elements like casts with a mAP@0.5 score of 0.80. The system also incorporates auxiliary clinical data to enhance diagnostic results for various diseases.

    Estimation of Switching Overvoltages during Energization of Transmission Lines using Recurrent Neural Networks
    (979-833153728-9, 2025) Pelendagamage, S; De Silva, H
    Overvoltages frequently pose significant challenges during the energization of transmission lines. During restoration, transmission lines have to be energized from zero voltage to the nominal voltage and the switching of transmission lines is a primary source of these overvoltages. The magnitude and waveform of switching overvoltages are influenced by system parameters, network configuration, and the specific point in the wave cycle at which switching occurs. The ability to estimate peak overvoltages in real-time is crucial for operators, during power system restoration. Traditional methods rely on extensive simulations or empirical formulas, which may not provide the necessary speed or accuracy for operational decisions. It is crucial for operators to ensure that peak overvoltages from switching actions remain within safe limits. This paper introduces a compact long short term memory recurrent neural network (LSTM RNN) based methodology to estimate the peak overvoltages induced during line energization. The developed RNN is trained and tested using extensive simulated data in PSCAD. The results demonstrate that the proposed RNN technique accurately estimates the peak values of switching overvoltages, offering a reliable tool for operators during power system restoration.

    Assisting Wheelchair: Assist W
    (IEEE, 2021-12-07) Ranaweera, D; Athalage, C; Sri Virajamana, M; Kaveesha, C; De Silva, D. I; De Silva, H
    Traditional wheelchairs used by disabled people are required to be controlled manually. Hence, continuous monitoring and assistance of a caretaker is a mandatory requirement. This paper introduces an autonomous assisting wheelchair - Assist W, which would facilitate disabled people to do their day-to-day activities independently in a very safe manner, thereby managing their mental and physical health. Assist W can scan the location and design a 2D map of the house using SLAM algorithm and LIDAR sensor. After generating the map, Assist W is able to move automatically according to the commands (Voice and touch) given by the user, with the help of the map data. There is an AR (Augmented Reality) chat-bot that acts as a good companion to manage the mental health of the disabled person. Assist W is also able to manage the security and physical health of the disabled person by providing a fall detection system and automatic lifting system, and sending emergency alerts to the caretakers. This system was tested using simulation.
