Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of prolonged diabetic mellitus causing damage to the micro-vascular system in retina. Computer-aided detection of DR can significantly reduce time, effort, and cost in early diagnosis and thereby restrict further complications. In this paper, we present a deep learning based framework for automated DR stage classification from fundus retinal images.We design and develop a custom build Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model named Model-IVS to extract meaningful and discriminative features from the retinal fundus images. The proposed hybrid-CNN combines the multi-scale pyramidal feature processing concept of inception model with the convolutional pipeline based feature extraction concept of VGG-Nets and adopts multi-scale feature concatenation based short-cut connections of DenseNet with learnable convolutions. For the binary classification tasks, we employ Model-IVS as a feature extractor and use Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier on the reduced features obtained through principal component analysis. The proposed hybrid model is end-to-end trained incrementally on a class-balanced dataset curated from the train set of EyePACS dataset. The cross-dataset generalization of the proposed hybrid CNN based DR classification framework is evaluated on APTOS, MESSIDOR-1 and MESSIDOR-2 datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that our model has outperformed all the existing state-of-the-art methods for DR severity grading task on APTOS dataset. The proposed Model-IVS has achieved best accuracy, AUC-ROC, and kappa score of 84.33%, 0.978 and 0.899, respectively in DR severity grading task. In binary classification tasks like DR screening and referable DR predictions, our Model-IVS feature extraction network with SVM classifier on PCA features has also achieved comparable performance results w.r.t. the state-of-the-art methods. In DR screening task, we recorded an accuracy of 97.84%, 87.42%, and 89.67% on APTOS, MESSIDOR-1, and MESSIDOR-2 datasets, respectively. In referable DR prediction, we achieved AUC-ROC score of 0.987, 0.928, and 0.873 on APTOS, MESSIDOR-1, and MESSIDOR-2 datasets, respectively.

Palm tree detection using remote sensing images has received increasing attention in recent years, concerning the issues of sustainability, productivity and profitability. There has been significant progress in the research of using machine learning techniques, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automatic palm tree detection. However, whether CNNs can actually outperform traditional human-engineered approaches in terms of classification accuracy and detection speed is yet unknown. In the present study, we have compared human-engineered features namely histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), local binary pattern (LBP) and scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) with features extracted using pre-trained AlexNet model for detecting palm trees in high resolution images obtained via unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Support vector machines (SVM) with linear and non-linear kernels were used to classify feature vectors obtained by different feature extractors. Haar-like features used in Viola-Jones framework was also tested in the study. Results showed that features extracted from the fifth convolutional layer of AlexNet achieved the highest accuracy of 96.1% using SVM with RBF kernel as classifier, which surpassed the accuracy obtained by fully-connected CNN, namely 95.6%. The results also suggest that SVM classifier with radial basis function (RBF) kernel using LBP as features is the optimal combination as it achieved comparable accuracy but higher detection speed than CNN approaches.

One of the most powerful ideas in deep learning is the transfer learning technique. Transfer learning can be utilized to take a knowledge from what a deep neural network has learned from a particular task and apply that knowledge to a different task. Transfer learning is very useful when the size of the training samples of interest is small to train a neural network from scratch. This research focuses on the concept of transfer learning where the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) power can be utilized as a features extractor to help with classifying benign from malignant breast cancer images. In addition, Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier based on Radial Basis Function (RBF) was adapted for its flexibility in fitting the data dimension space adequately by tuning the kernel width. The hybridization between CNN and RBF-Based SVM showed robust results for both the dataset and the application task of this research. The contribution of this paper can be summarized in three major parts. First, a CNN was implemented from scratch on a large number of available spine images to classify images of two different spine views (sagittal and axial) in order to transfer the learning process to the CNN of breast images. Second, retrain the spine CNN on the images of breast cancer to classify between benign and malignant cases by fine-tuning. Finally, the features were extracted from the retrained CNN and fed to RBF-Based SVM to classify benign from malignant breast mammogram images.

Automatic heart disease detection from human heartbeats is a challenging and intellectual assignment in signal processing because periodically monitoring of the heart beat arrhythmia for patient is an essential task to reduce the death rate due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this paper, the focus of research is to design hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture by making use of Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) to classify different types of heart diseases from the ECG signal or human heartbeats. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as an artificial intelligence approach is widely used in computer vision-based medical data analysis. However, the traditional CNN cannot be used for classification of heart diseases from the ECG signal because lots of noise or irrelevant data is mixed with signal. So this study utilizes the pre-processing and selection of feature for proper heart diseases classification, where Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used for the noise reduction as well as segmentation of ECG signal and Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) is used for selection of R-peaks features from the extracted feature sets in terms of R-peaks and R-R intervals that help to attain better classification accuracy. For training as well as testing of projected Heartbeats Classification Model (HCM), the Standard MIT-BIH arrhythmia database is utilized with hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture. The assortment of proper R-peaks and R-R intervals is a major factor and because of the deficiency of apposite pre-processing phases like noise removal, signal decomposition, smoothing and filtering, the uniqueness of extracted feature is less. The experimental outcomes show that the planned HCM is effective for detecting irregular human heartbeats via R-peaks and R-R intervals. When the proposed Heartbeats Classification Model (HCM) was verified on the database, model achieved higher efficiency than other state-of-the-art techniques for 16 heartbeat disease categories and the average classification accuracy is 99.58% with fast and robust responses where the correctly classified heartbeats are 86,005 and misclassified beats is only 108 with 0.42% error rate.

Timely identification of sugarcane cultivation is essential for precision agriculture, policy formulation, and sustainable land management. Our study presents a multimodal framework that integrates spectral, morphological, and textural features from Sentinel-2 imagery with hybrid deep learning techniques for sugarcane mapping. A comprehensive feature space combining NDVI, geometrical descriptors, and GLCM-based texture metrics was used to train Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers. A hybrid convolutional neural network (CNN+MLP) architecture further merged visual embeddings from image patches with tabular descriptors. The RF model achieved a macro F1-score of 0.91, a Kappa coefficient of 0.86, and a macro-AUC of 0.94 across agricultural regions in Brazil. DBSCAN clustering was applied to filter noisy labels and improve the quality of the training dataset. A domain-specific confusion cost matrix illustrated the economic impact of misclassification, showing that the RF and CNN+MLP models improved accuracy and financial efficiency by reducing crop identification errors. Although the analysis was limited to São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul, the framework showed consistent and robust performance within these regions. Overall, it highlights the benefits of combining morphospectral, textural, and deep features for crop classification, providing a scalable foundation for time-series modeling and real-time land-use analytics. • Sugarcane regions were accurately mapped using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery across different agricultural zones in Brazil. • A hybrid CNN+MLP model combined visual embeddings and tabular features to improve classification. • Morphological, spectral (NDVI), and GLCM-based texture features were fused to improve crop discrimination. • Random Forest and Support Vector Machine classifiers were benchmarked and compared with the deep learning approach. • Unsupervised DBSCAN clustering was applied to detect and remove noisy samples, improving training set quality.

Brain tumors are formed due to the abnormal growth of the cells that get multiplied and become in uncontrollable perspective. Tumors can damage brain cells by pressing down the skull, which consociate begins in, which negatively affects human health. In advanced stages, a brain tumor is a more dangerous infection that cannot be relieved. Brain tumor detection and early prevention are necessary in today's world. An extreme learning machine (ELM) is a widely adopted algorithm in machine learning. It is proposed to use classification models in brain tumor imaging. This classification is based on the techniques implemented: Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) and Generative Adversarial Networks(GAN). CNN efficiently solves the convex optimization problem and is faster, requiring less human effort. The algorithmic architecture of GAN uses two neural networks, pocking one against the other. These networks are implemented in various fields to classify brain Tumor images. The present study mainly aims to introduce a new proposed classification system of preschool children brain imaging with Hybrid Convolutional Neural Networks and with the techniques of GAN. The proposed technique is compared with the existing hybrid-CNN and hybrid-GAN techniques. The outcomes are encouraging because the loss is deduced, and the accuracy facet increases. The proposed system achieved a training accuracy of 97.8% and a validation accuracy of 89%. The outcomes of the studies show that ELM in the platform of GAN for preschool children brain imaging classification has achieved higher predictive performance than the traditional classification mechanisms in increasingly complex scenarios. Time elapsed for training brain images samples finds inference value for training samples and time elapsed value increased by 28.9855%. Approximation ratio for cost based on probability, finding Approximation ratio for low probability range is increased by 88.1%. The combination of CNN, GAN and hybrid-CNN, hybrid-GAN, and hybrid CNN + GAN, compared with the proposed hybrid system, increased Detection latency for low range learning rate by 3.31%.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used in image recognition and processing tasks. Memristor-based CNNs accumulate the advantages of emerging memristive devices, such as nanometer critical dimensions, low power consumption, and functional similarity to biological synapses. Most studies on memristor-based CNNs use either software models of memristors for simulation analysis or full hardware CNN realization. Here, we propose a hybrid CNN, consisting of a hardware fixed pre-trained and explainable feature extractor and a trainable software classifier. The hardware part was realized on passive crossbar arrays of memristors based on nanocomposite (Co-Fe-B)x(LiNbO3)100−x structures. The constructed 2-kernel CNN was able to classify the binarized Fashion-MNIST dataset with ~ 84% accuracy. The performance of the hybrid CNN is comparable to the other reported memristor-based systems, while the number of trainable parameters for the hybrid CNN is substantially lower. Moreover, the hybrid CNN is robust to the variations in the memristive characteristics: dispersion of 20% leads to only a 3% accuracy decrease. The obtained results pave the way for the efficient and reliable realization of neural networks based on partially unreliable analog elements.

This paper presents a method for detecting bleeding and tumors within capsule endoscopy (CE) images. Because CE can be used for visual, non-invasive examinations of the small bowel, it has recently become widely used. However, as a capsule progresses along the gastrointestinal tract, it collects vast quantities of images that make diagnosis a very time-consuming task. To address this problem, many computational approaches for anomaly detection have been proposed. Common to most approaches is the belief that color, texture, and shape are the most promising features for detecting anomalies within CE images. However, given that the requirements for each type of feature vary according to the anomaly, generally, it is essential to apply a complicated combination of techniques for multiple-feature extraction. In this study, in order to realize a scheme that covers the features of color, texture, and shape and can be applied to lesion areas of various sizes, a geometric image feature called local-contrast-enhanced higher-order local auto-correlation (LCE-HLAC) is proposed. Moreover, although the HSV color space is generally regarded as being appropriate for the analysis of CE images, imbalances in the distributions of utilized hue components limit discriminatory performance for normal and anomalous images. Accordingly, an image pre-processing method that uses a non-linear conversion model for the HSV color space is also proposed. Anomaly detection is implemented using a support vector machine classifier. The results of experiments, conducted with normal, bleeding, and tumor images obtained from 28 patients, demonstrate both the feasibility and superiority of the proposed method for both bleeding and tumor detection tasks.

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Early detection of this disease increases the chances of survival. Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) has been used to process CT images of the lung to determine whether an image has traces of cancer. This paper presents an image classification method based on the hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm and Support Vector Machine (SVM). This algorithm is capable of automatically classifying and analyzing each lung image to check if there is any presence of cancer cells or not. CNN is easier to train and has fewer parameters compared to a fully connected network with the same number of hidden units. Moreover, SVM has been utilized to eliminate useless information that affects accuracy negatively. In recent years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have achieved excellent performance in many computer visions tasks. In this study, the performance of this algorithm is evaluated, and the results indicated that our proposed CNN-SVM algorithm has been succeed in classifying lung images with 97.91% accuracy. This has shown the method's merit and its ability to classify lung cancer in CT images accurately.

capsule endoscopy (CE) revolutionized the study of the small intestine. Nevertheless, reviewing CE images is time-consuming and prone to error. Artificial intelligence algorithms, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNN), are expected to overcome these drawbacks. Protruding lesions of the small intestine exhibit enormous morphological diversity in CE images. This study aimed to develop a CNN-based algorithm for the automatic detection small bowel protruding lesions. a CNN was developed using a pool of CE images containing protruding lesions or normal mucosa from 1,229 patients. A training dataset was used for the development of the model. The performance of the network was evaluated using an independent dataset, by calculating its sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values. a total of 18,625 CE images (2,830 showing protruding lesions and 15,795 normal mucosa) were included. Training and validation datasets were built with an 80 %/20 % distribution, respectively. After optimizing the architecture of the network, our model automatically detected small-bowel protruding lesions with an accuracy of 92.5 %. CNN had a sensitivity and specificity of 96.8 % and 96.5 %, respectively. The CNN analyzed the validation dataset in 53 seconds, at a rate of approximately 70 frames per second. we developed an accurate CNN for the automatic detection of enteric protruding lesions with a wide range of morphologies. The development of these tools may enhance the diagnostic efficiency of CE.

Traditional traffic monitoring systems to detect traffic accidents have many problems including high cost to deploy sensors, limited coverage, and data dependability. The purpose of this study is to use social media data to detect road accidents in real time by monitoring tweets. The proposed method uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to evaluate and categorize tweets into three categories: Traffic Accident Tweet, Non-Traffic Tweet, and Traffic Information Tweet. This paper compares the proposed hybrid CNN-LSTM model with other Natural Language Processing (NLP) models such as Logistic Regression (LR), Naive Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF) in terms of accuracy, loss, precision, recall and F1 score. The hybrid CNN-LSTM model demonstrated the highest accuracy in detecting accident tweets, achieving an accuracy of 98.5%. The model also showed low loss, indicating reduced error and improved model performance. These results show how well the hybrid deep learning model uses social media to predict traffic incidents accurately in real time. The study emphasizes how social media analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) may be used into traffic monitoring systems to improve emergency response and road safety. The proposed approach provides a more reliable, more affordable and scalable substitute for conventional sensor-based systems.
