Polyps Detection in Colonoscopies

Rice is the staple food in Bangladesh. Every year many crops are lost because of the disease of the rice plant. Our farmers are facing a great loss every year as well as rice productivity is declining. Some diseased and healthy leaf images of rice plants have been collected. The images have been classified into four classes. The classes are Brown Spot, Hispa, Leaf Blast diseased leaves, and Healthy leaves, usually known as Oryza Saiva diseases of rice. Deep learning is very common and popular to analyze and make predictions from these kind of image data. In this research, the CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) models have been used to predict the classes. Among various CNN models, VGG16, MobileNet, ResNet50, and DenseNet121 pre-trained models have been applied. Among those pre-trained models, the highest accuracy 95.3% has been found from the VGG16 model. In addition, an Android mobile app has been developed using the highest performant VGG16 trained model. Using this mobile app, farmers will be able to upload a photo and predict the disease of that rice plant or not in a convenient way.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Outdoor ultrafine particles (UFP; 100 nm) and black carbon (BC) vary greatly within cities and may have adverse impacts on human health such as cardiovascular mortality and brain tumour incidence. Traditional regression methods for estimating spatial distributions of ambient air pollution depend on extensive, curated geospatial information system databases. This has resulted in a disparity wherein little is known about local air pollution in the data-sparse settings of low- and middle- income countries. We used a hybrid approach to develop new models to estimate within-city spatial variations in outdoor UFP and BC concentrations across Bucaramanga, Colombia. METHODS: We conducted a large-scale mobile monitoring campaign over twenty days in 2019. Land use regression (LUR) models were developed using land use parameters from curated and open-source databases. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models were developed using Google Maps satellite view and street view images. Combined models were developed by combining predictions from the LUR and CNN models. After training in the training and validation sets, predictions were generated in the test set and compared to measured values. RESULTS:The combined UFP model (R2=0.54) outperformed the CNN (R2=0.47) and land use regression (LUR) models (R2=0.47) on their own. Similarly, the combined BC model also outperformed the CNN and LUR BC models (R2 = 0.51 vs 0.43 and 0.45 respectively). Spatial variations in model performance were more stable for the CNN and combined models compared to the LUR models suggesting that the combined approach may be less likely to contribute to differential exposure measurement error in epidemiological studies. CONCLUSIONS:Estimates from these models can then be applied to population-based cohorts in order to evaluate population health risks. Additionally, our findings demonstrated that satellite and street-level images can be combined with a traditional LUR modelling approach to improve predictions of within-city spatial variations in outdoor UFP and BC concentrations.

Effective disease control in crops is essential for ensuring food security, as numerous diseases can significantly reduce agricultural productivity. Leaf disease is a crucial determinant of crop yield and quality. Potatoes are widely regarded as a vital staple in diets around the world. Potato blight, often known as late blight, is a severe disease impacting Solanaceae plants, particularly the potato. The oomycete Phytophthora infestans serves as the causal agent, posing a significant threat to potato crops by reducing yields and leading to financial losses. Identifying potato diseases is essential for ensuring food security and minimizing economic losses in agriculture. Numerous studies have explored the applications of machine learning and deep learning technologies for detecting blight diseases in affected crops. The proposed methodology outlined in our study offers a promising and effective means to enhance the accuracy of potato late blight classification. Advancements in technology can significantly improve the identification and treatment of diseases. Deep learning algorithms have been effectively employed in a range of practical applications. In our investigation, convolutional neural network models are used to analyze images of leaves. The primary aim of this initiative is to gain insights into and enhance the capacity to recognize diseases in their early phases. After the input images undergo preprocessing, the target region is distinctly isolated. CNN examines images to identify unique features, including edges, colours, and textures. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the proposed model through a diverse dataset of potato leaf images, making essential contributions to the domain of automated disease detection systems. The results of this study could enhance techniques for agricultural management and strengthen the sustainability of agriculture. This study introduces an improved CNN model designed to identify the blight disease state in potato leaf images, providing a valuable tool for farmers. The findings may aid in the evaluation and implementation of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models for classifying proximal sensing images of potato plant leaves. Additional investigations could leverage this modelling framework and have the opportunity to examine various other factors to identify leaf infections at an earlier stage for crop protection.

Classifying images is a complex problem in the field of computer vision. The deep learning algorithm is a computerized model simulates the human brain functions and operations. Training the deep learning model is a costly process in machine resources and time. Investigating the performance of the deep learning algorithm is mostly needed. The convolutional neural network (CNN) is most commonly used to build a structure of the deep learning models. In this paper convolutional neural network (CNN) model pre-trained on Image-Net is used for classification of images of the PASCAL VOC 2007 data-set. The transfer learning approach is used to improve the performance of the deep learning CNN model where classification works fairly well with the smallest amount of computation time and fewer machine resources. The behavior of the Deep learning CNN model is studied and the performance has been measured. The obtained results are compared with the obtained test results from the Super-vector coding of local image descriptors method, SVM method, and Region Ranking SVM method, which tested with the PASCAL VOC 2007 data-set. The final results evaluate the deep learning algorithm as a state-of-the-art method for an image classification task.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a malignancy that destroys the ability of the tissues surrounding the mouth to develop layers and membranes. Automated early diagnosis of oral histopathological images has allowed for the successful diagnosis of oral cancer, thanks to recent advancements in Deep Learning (DL) for biomedical image classification. By using a convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on deep learning for the initial analysis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), this work aims to automate the classification of benign and malignant oral biopsy histopathological images. For this study, the CNN model Inception-Resnet-V2 is selected using the transfer learning approach. To enhance OSCC detection, additional layers are incorporated into this pretrained model. By mining a repository of oral cancer histopathology images, we can gauge how well these tweaked models perform. We examine the modified structure of the pre-trained Inception-Resnet-V2 model and suggest a DL-CNN model that uses it. With an accuracy of 91.78%, it has outperformed in terms of performance metrics.

Recently, deep learning has attracted more and more attention in phase unwrapping of fringe projection three-dimensional (3D) measurement, with the aim to improve the performance leveraging the powerful Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models. In this paper, for the first time (to the best of our knowledge), we introduce the Transformer into the phase unwrapping which is different from CNN and propose Hformer model dedicated to phase unwrapping via fringe order prediction. The proposed model has a hybrid CNN-Transformer architecture that is mainly composed of backbone, encoder and decoder to take advantage of both CNN and Transformer. Encoder and decoder with cross attention are designed for the fringe order prediction. Experimental results show that the proposed Hformer model achieves better performance in fringe order prediction compared with the CNN models such as U-Net and DCNN. Moreover, ablation study on Hformer is made to verify the improved feature pyramid networks (FPN) and testing strategy with flipping in the predicted fringe order. Our work opens an alternative way to deep learning based phase unwrapping methods, which are dominated by CNN in fringe projection 3D measurement.

A well-known vegetable crop farmed all throughout the world is the potato. The possibility of a large number of diseases, however, could also impair the harvest. In order to quickly deal with the crop, it is vital for the planter to recognise the type of contamination. It had been determined that the leaves were a simple indicator of many diseases. Many Machine Learning (ML) techniques as well as Convolution Neural Network (CNN) models are superior in the literature for the detection of tomato crop diseases. CNN models rely on deep learning and neural networks, which are superior than traditional machine learning methods like decision trees and kNN. Although well before CNN creates beautiful artwork, the wide range of subjects they cover renders them operationally intensive. This painting suggests a less complex CNN model with eight convolution layer At the publicly accessible dataset PlantVillage, the recommended compact model performs better than the standard machine learning techniques and pre-trained fashions with an accuracy of 98.4%. The PlantVillage dataset includes 39 classes of different crops, including tomato diseases. These crops include apple, potato, maize, grapes, and more. In comparison to VGG16, which has an amazing accuracy of 93% 5% in pretrained patterns, k-NN has the absolute best accuracy of 94% in conventional ML approaches. After image augmentation, picture pre-processing was used to improve the suggested CNN's overall performance by having the ability to modify the brightness of the image using the knowledge of a prospective variable involving a randomized width of the image. The suggested model, which has a 98% accuracy rate, is also incredibly effective with datasets other than PlantVillage.

Introduction: The early automatic diagnosis of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) disease could be very helpful to reduce its spread around the world. In this study, we revisit the identification of COVID-19 from chest X-ray images using deep learning. Methods: We collected a relatively large COVID-19 dataset—compared with previous studies—containing 309 real COVID-19 chest X-ray images. We also prepared 2,000 chest X-ray images of pneumonia cases and 1,000 images of healthy controls. Deep transfer learning was used to detect abnormalities in our image dataset. We fine-tuned three, pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models on a training dataset: DenseNet 121, NASNetLarge, and NASNet-Mobile. Results: The evaluation of our models on a test dataset showed that these models achieved an average sensitivity rate of approximately 99.45% and an average specificity rate of approximately 99.5%. Conclusion: A larger dataset of COVID-19 X-ray images could lead to more accurate and reliable identification of COVID-19 infections using deep transfer learning. However, the clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 disease is always necessary.

In order to realize high-accuracy recognition of aerobics actions, a highly applicable deep learning model and faster data processing methods are required. Therefore, it is a major difficulty in the field of research on aerobics action recognition. Based on this, this paper studies the application of the convolution neural network (CNN) model combined with the pyramid algorithm in aerobics action recognition. Firstly, the basic architecture of the convolution neural network model based on the pyramid algorithm is proposed. Combined with the application strategy of the common recognition model in aerobics action recognition, the traditional aerobics action capture information is processed. Through the characteristics of different aerobics actions, different accurate recognition is realized, and then, the error of the recognition model is evaluated. Secondly, the composite recognition function of the convolution neural network model in this application is constructed, and the common data layer effect recognition method is used in the optimization recognition. Aiming at the shortcomings of the composite recognition function, the pyramid algorithm is used to improve the convolution neural network recognition model by deep learning optimization. Finally, through the effectiveness comparison experiment, the results show that the convolution neural network model based on the pyramid algorithm is more efficient than the conventional recognition method in aerobics action recognition.

Development in Computer vision applications, most prominently in Artificial Intelligence (AI) over the past decade, has encouraged researchers to use computational algorithms. Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms are getting attention in the biomedical area to early diagnosis and prognosis of lethiferous diseases with higher accuracy using statistical analysis. Cervical cancer is one of the predominant gynecological infectious forms of cancer in females ecumenically, generally transpiring in less-developed nations. DL algorithms are more optimized and convenient due to the automatic feature extraction in Cervical lesion detection at an early phase. Here we analyze the convolutional neural network (CNN) models' performance using variation in channels depth comprises in the convolution layers to classify multi-class liquid-based cytology (LBC) Whole slide images (WSI). We propose three CNN models having two convolution layers with the number of channels (4,8), (8,16), and (32,64) and two pooling layers. CNN model with the highest number of channels in the convolution layers gives the leading performance with an accuracy of 96.89%, precision of 93.38%, the sensitivity of 93.75%, and F-score of 94.15%.

A cover song, by definition, is a rendition of a previously released song and mapping these cover songs to their original song is defined as ”Cover Song Identification.” In this paper, we propose multiple cover song identification methods using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models as well as transfer learning to extract features which can be trained on statistical models for binary classification. We develop two CNN models that are trained on a cross-similarity matrix which is generated from a pair of songs as input. Firstly we designed a simple CNN architecture that was trained on two labels 1. cover pair relationship; 2. non-cover pair relationship. Our second approach uses a CNN model known as the Inception Model. We train the model by generating cross-similarity matrices for both the labels and then converting them into images. At later stage, we use a ranking method that sorts the probabilities of the cover relation in descending order and the song with the highest probability is chosen as a match. Based on the evaluation, Inception model performs the best, scoring the accuracy of 93.4%.
