Abstract Pneumonia is a common lung disease that is more prone to affect the elderly and those with weaker respiratory systems. However, hospital medical resources are limited, and sometimes the workload of physicians is too high, which can affect their judgment. Therefore, a good medical assistance system is of great significance for improving the quality of medical care. This study proposed an integrated system by combining transfer learning and gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM). Pneumonia is a common lung disease that is generally diagnosed using X-rays. However, in areas with limited medical resources, a shortage of medical personnel may result in… More >

Abstract Cardiac disease is a chronic condition that impairs the heart’s functionality. It includes conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and valvular heart disease. These conditions can lead to serious complications and even be life-threatening if not detected and managed in time. Researchers have utilized Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) to identify heart abnormalities swiftly and consistently. Various approaches have been applied to predict and treat heart disease utilizing ML and DL. This paper proposes a Machine and Deep Learning-based Stacked Model (MDLSM) to predict heart disease accurately. ML approaches such as eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB),… More >

Abstract Biological slices are an effective tool for studying the physiological structure and evolution mechanism of biological systems. However, due to the complexity of preparation technology and the presence of many uncontrollable factors during the preparation processing, leads to problems such as difficulty in preparing slice images and breakage of slice images. Therefore, we proposed a biological slice image small-scale corruption inpainting algorithm with interpretability based on multi-layer deep sparse representation, achieving the high-fidelity reconstruction of slice images. We further discussed the relationship between deep convolutional neural networks and sparse representation, ensuring the high-fidelity characteristic of the algorithm first. A novel… More >

Abstract Image-denoising techniques are widely used to defend against Adversarial Examples (AEs). However, denoising alone cannot completely eliminate adversarial perturbations. The remaining perturbations tend to amplify as they propagate through deeper layers of the network, leading to misclassifications. Moreover, image denoising compromises the classification accuracy of original examples. To address these challenges in AE defense through image denoising, this paper proposes a novel AE detection technique. The proposed technique combines multiple traditional image-denoising algorithms and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) network structures. The used detector model integrates the classification results of different models as the input to the detector and calculates the… More >

Abstract Text extraction from images using the traditional techniques of image collecting, and pattern recognition using machine learning consume time due to the amount of extracted features from the images. Deep Neural Networks introduce effective solutions to extract text features from images using a few techniques and the ability to train large datasets of images with significant results. This study proposes using Dual Maxpooling and concatenating convolution Neural Networks (CNN) layers with the activation functions Relu and the Optimized Leaky Relu (OLRelu). The proposed method works by dividing the word image into slices that contain characters. Then pass them to deep… More >

Abstract Manual diagnosis of brain tumors using magnetic resonance images (MRI) is a hectic process and time-consuming. Also, it always requires an expert person for the diagnosis. Therefore, many computer-controlled methods for diagnosing and classifying brain tumors have been introduced in the literature. This paper proposes a novel multimodal brain tumor classification framework based on two-way deep learning feature extraction and a hybrid feature optimization algorithm. NasNet-Mobile, a pre-trained deep learning model, has been fine-tuned and two-way trained on original and enhanced MRI images. The haze-convolutional neural network (haze-CNN) approach is developed and employed on the original images for contrast enhancement.… More >

Abstract Deep learning-based action classification technology has been applied to various fields, such as social safety, medical services, and sports. Analyzing an action on a practical level requires tracking multiple human bodies in an image in real-time and simultaneously classifying their actions. There are various related studies on the real-time classification of actions in an image. However, existing deep learning-based action classification models have prolonged response speeds, so there is a limit to real-time analysis. In addition, it has low accuracy of action of each object if multiple objects appear in the image. Also, it needs to be improved since it… More >

Abstract Target signal acquisition and detection based on sonar images is a challenging task due to the complex underwater environment. In order to solve the problem that some semantic information in sonar images is lost and model detection performance is degraded due to the complex imaging environment, we proposed a more effective and robust target detection framework based on deep learning, which can make full use of the acoustic shadow information in the forward-looking sonar images to assist underwater target detection. Firstly, the weighted box fusion method is adopted to generate a fusion box by weighted fusion of prediction boxes with… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract X-Ray knee imaging is widely used to detect knee osteoarthritis due to ease of availability and lesser cost. However, the manual categorization of knee joint disorders is time-consuming, requires an expert person, and is costly. This article proposes a new approach to classifying knee osteoarthritis using deep learning and a whale optimization algorithm. Two pre-trained deep learning models (Efficientnet-b0 and Densenet201) have been employed for the training and feature extraction. Deep transfer learning with fixed hyperparameter values has been employed to train both selected models on the knee X-Ray images. In the next step, fusion is performed using a canonical… More >
