    From Pixel to Prognosis: Convolutional and GLCM Feature Fusion for Automated Four-Class Cataract Severity Classification

    K. Mithra1,*, Prem Kumar Santhanam2

    Journal of Intelligent Medicine and Healthcare, Vol.4, pp. 99-108, 2026, DOI:10.32604/jimh.2026.083110 - 18 June 2026

    Abstract Objective: To develop a low-cost automated cataract severity classification system operating on standard consumer-grade colour photographs of the eye, without specialised ophthalmic hardware. Methods: A hybrid framework was designed that fuses deep features from a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with five handcrafted Grey-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and intensity descriptors—mean intensity, uniformity, standard deviation, contrast, and energy—extracted from a Hough-circle-localised pupil Region of Interest (ROI). A multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) with Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel classifies each image into one of four severity grades: normal, immature, mature, or hypermature cataract. Results: The proposed fused system More >

    Jesús Águila-León1, Carlos Vargas-Salgado2,*, Dácil Díaz-Bello2, Fabián Lara-Vargas3

    Energy Engineering, Vol.123, No.7, 2026, DOI:10.32604/ee.2026.078087 - 18 June 2026

    Abstract Integrating renewable energy sources presents technical challenges due to their variable nature, particularly in predicting and managing microgrid operational modes. Accurate identification of grid states—interconnected or islanded—is essential for maintaining stability and optimizing performance under fluctuating environmental conditions to meet energy demand. This work proposes a bio-inspired, optimized binary classification model based on Multi-Layer Perceptron Artificial Neural Networks (MLP-ANN), with the architecture and hyperparameters tuned using the novel Mosquito Mating Swarm Optimization (MMSO) algorithm, inspired by mosquito mating behavior and swarm dynamics. The model employs an MLP-ANN with a variable number of hidden layers and… More > Graphic Abstract

    Ultra-Short-Term Wind Power Forecasting Based on Hierarchical Signal Refinement and Intelligently Optimized Deep Learning

    Xiaolan Li1,2,*, Jinyu Shen1,2, Jinhuang Liang1,2, Yanting Wang1,2

    Energy Engineering, Vol.123, No.7, 2026, DOI:10.32604/ee.2026.076521 - 18 June 2026

    Abstract The intrinsic volatility and stochasticity of large-scale wind power generation pose significant challenges to grid stability. To address the limitations of conventional models in capturing strong non-stationarity, this study proposes a novel Multi-Stage Adaptive Forecasting Network (MSAF-Net). The framework features a hierarchical signal refinement strategy coupled with an intelligently optimized hybrid predictor. Initially, input redundancy is minimized via Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) analysis to isolate significant meteorological variables. A two-phase decomposition-reconstruction mechanism is then implemented: the wind power series is first decomposed using Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN). To optimize the… More >

    A Space-Air-Ground Integrated Network Traffic Estimation Algorithm Based on Time-Varying Higher-Order Moments

    Xiaoxiong Yang1,2, Yi Zhang1, Dingde Jiang1,*, Shuqing He3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.88, No.2, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2026.083723 - 15 June 2026

    Abstract With the proliferation of network users, traffic engineering has become increasingly important for the management and optimization of networks. As a crucial component of traffic engineering, the traffic matrix can assist network managers in making informed decisions to optimize resource utilization. However, in the current complex and heterogeneous space-ground integrated network, the cost of direct real-time measurement of traffic matrix is high and the delay is high. To address this challenge, we propose a network traffic estimation algorithm based on time-varying higher-order moments and deep learning, which leverages the time-varying higher-order moments property of traffic More >

    Dual-Strategy Improvement of YOLOv11n for Multi-Scale Object Detection in Remote Sensing Images

    Shuaiyu Zhu1, Sergey Ablameyko1,2, Ji Li3,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.88, No.2, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2026.082486 - 15 June 2026

    Abstract Satellite remote sensing images pose significant challenges for object detection due to their high resolution, complex scenes, and large variations in target scales. To address the insufficient detection accuracy of the YOLOv11n model in remote sensing imagery, this paper proposes two improvement strategies. Method 1: (a) a Large Separable Kernel Attention (LSKA) mechanism is introduced into the backbone network to enhance feature extraction for small objects; (b) a Gold-YOLO structure is incorporated into the neck network to achieve multi-scale feature fusion, thereby improving the detection performance of objects at different scales. Method 2: (a) the More >

    Attention and Mamba Based Iterative Registration Network for Low-Overlap and Large-Scale Point Cloud

    Haotian Cao1,2, Qingsheng Zhu1,2,3,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.88, No.2, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2026.081695 - 15 June 2026

    Abstract Point Cloud Registration (PCR) is a basic task in computer vision, mobile robotics, and autonomous driving. PCR primarily faces challenges, including insufficient registration performance in low-overlap scenarios and high computational resource consumption in large-scale point cloud scenarios. Most recent PCR methods are transformer-based. Methods like transformers have quadratic computational complexity 𝒪(n2d), leading to rapid increases in computational cost with large-scale point cloud data. To address these problems, an iterative PCR method named Attention and Mamba Based Iterative Registration Network (AMBIR) is proposed, overcoming the shortcomings of the current PCR method on low-overlap and large-scale scenarios. Specifically, an… More >

    Addressing Background Bias in Explainable Orange Fruit Disease Classification Using Deep Learning

    Naeem Ullah1,*, Javed Ali Khan2, Michelina Ruocco3, Antonio Della Cioppa4, Ivanoe De Falco5, Giovanna Sannino5

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.88, No.2, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2026.081477 - 15 June 2026

    Abstract Fruit diseases significantly impact agricultural productivity, yet automated detection systems often fail to provide interpretable predictions and are sensitive to background variations in images, particularly in orange fruit disease datasets. Current deep learning approaches are prone to background bias, which reduces explainability and generalization. To address this, we propose a deep learning framework that explicitly reduces background noise and bias in orange fruit disease image classification while providing interpretable, pixel-level predictions. The framework integrates existing architectural components, including grouped convolutions with channel shuffling, Leaky ReLU and clipped ReLU activations, and attention-based feature extraction, within a… More >

    Abstract The challenges of underwater object detection are derived from complex environmental conditions, including light scattering, absorption, and turbidity. The deep learning approaches have enhanced the detection of objects in these low-visual conditions. This work presents a multi-stage object-detection framework for the underwater environment that performs well on the Semantic Segmentation of Underwater Imagery (SUIM) benchmark. To begin with, there is the adaptive Multi-Scale Retinex with Color Restoration (MSRCR) algorithm, which improves image quality by correcting color distortions and increasing contrast. Second, an augmented YOLOv8 model (with a ResNet-50 backbone and the Convolutional Block Attention Module More >

    Vinh Truong Hoang*, Nghia Dinh, Luu Quang Phuong, Kiet Tran-Trung, Ha Duong Thi Hong, Bay Nguyen Van, Hau Nguyen Trung, Thien Ho Huong

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.88, No.2, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2026.078743 - 15 June 2026

    Abstract Visual speech recognition is a central problem in computer vision, encompassing both lip reading (visual speech recognition) and sign language recognition. Although substantial progress has been achieved independently on each task, their complementary characteristics have rarely been explored jointly. In this work we propose UniModal-LSR (Unified Multimodal Lip and Sign Recognition), a novel deep learning framework that jointly addresses lip reading and sign language recognition within a single multimodal architecture. By exploiting shared properties of visual communication channels, namely temporal dynamics, spatial articulation structure, and contextual dependencies, the proposed model enables bidirectional transfer of knowledge… More >
