The study utilized the OpenCV library for image preprocessing, along with Keras and TensorFlow libraries to develop an intelligent model capable of efficient recognition and classification.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">The results demonstrated that the CNN model achieved a remarkable classification accuracy of 99.6%, outperforming many modern machine learning approaches. This highlights the potential of using such technologies to accurately and rapidly locate submerged individuals, which is crucial for timely rescue missions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">This scientific achievement reflects the advanced research capabilities of the College of Education\u2019s academic staff and their commitment to keeping pace with global scientific developments in the fields of artificial intelligence and modern technologies.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-14228\" src=\"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-21-at-1.37.29-PM-3-689x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"618\" height=\"918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-21-at-1.37.29-PM-3-689x1024.jpeg 689w, https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-21-at-1.37.29-PM-3-202x300.jpeg 202w, https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-21-at-1.37.29-PM-3-768x1142.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-21-at-1.37.29-PM-3-1033x1536.jpeg 1033w, https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-21-at-1.37.29-PM-3-8x12.jpeg 8w, https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-21-at-1.37.29-PM-3.jpeg 1076w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-14229\" src=\"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-22-at-11.54.36-AM-1-1-731x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"618\" height=\"866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-22-at-11.54.36-AM-1-1-731x1024.jpeg 731w, https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-22-at-11.54.36-AM-1-1-214x300.jpeg 214w, https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-22-at-11.54.36-AM-1-1-768x1076.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-22-at-11.54.36-AM-1-1-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-22-at-11.54.36-AM-1-1.jpeg 914w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Publication of a Scientific Research on the Use of Neural Networks in Underwater Search and Rescue Operations&#8221; As part of his continuous research efforts in the field of artificial intelligence and modern technologies, Lecturer Dr. Ali Fadhel Rasheed, a faculty member at the College of Education, published a scientific research paper entitled: \u201cEnhancing Underwater Search &hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1153,"featured_media":14227,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,258],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-ministry-news-en","category---en"],"acf":[],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":14226},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1153"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14226"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14230,"href":"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14226\/revisions\/14230"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uotelafer.edu.iq\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
