Abstract The pharmaceutical industry increasingly values medicinal plants due to their perceived safety and cost-effectiveness compared to modern drugs. Throughout the extensive history of medicinal plant usage, various plant parts, including flowers, leaves, and roots, have been acknowledged for their healing properties and employed in plant identification. Leaf images, however, stand out as the preferred and easily accessible source of information. Manual plant identification by plant taxonomists is intricate, time-consuming, and prone to errors, relying heavily on human perception. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques offer a solution by automating plant recognition processes. This study thoroughly examines cutting-edge… More >

Abstract In today’s world, image processing techniques play a crucial role in the prognosis and diagnosis of various diseases due to the development of several precise and accurate methods for medical images. Automated analysis of medical images is essential for doctors, as manual investigation often leads to inter-observer variability. This research aims to enhance healthcare by enabling the early detection of diabetic retinopathy through an efficient image processing framework. The proposed hybridized method combines Modified Inertia Weight Particle Swarm Optimization (MIWPSO) and Fuzzy C-Means clustering (FCM) algorithms. Traditional FCM does not incorporate spatial neighborhood features, making More >

Abstract Cancer poses a significant threat due to its aggressive nature, potential for widespread metastasis, and inherent heterogeneity, which often leads to resistance to chemotherapy. Lung cancer ranks among the most prevalent forms of cancer worldwide, affecting individuals of all genders. Timely and accurate lung cancer detection is critical for improving cancer patients’ treatment outcomes and survival rates. Screening examinations for lung cancer detection, however, frequently fall short of detecting small polyps and cancers. To address these limitations, computer-aided techniques for lung cancer detection prove to be invaluable resources for both healthcare practitioners and patients alike.… More >

Abstract Lung cancer remains a major concern in modern oncology due to its high mortality rates and multifaceted origins, including hereditary factors and various clinical changes. It stands as the deadliest type of cancer and a significant cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Early diagnosis enables healthcare providers to administer appropriate treatment measures promptly and accurately, leading to improved prognosis and higher survival rates. The significant increase in both the incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer, particularly its ranking as the second most prevalent cancer among women worldwide, underscores the need for comprehensive research into efficient… More >

Abstract Angle detection is a crucial aspect of industrial automation, ensuring precise alignment and orientation of components in manufacturing processes. Despite the widespread application of computer vision in industrial settings, angle detection remains an underexplored domain, with limited integration into production lines. This paper addresses the need for automated angle detection in industrial environments by presenting a methodology that eliminates training time and higher computation cost on Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) from machine learning in computer vision (e.g., Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)). Our approach leverages advanced image processing techniques and a strategic combination of algorithms, including More >

Abstract Semantic segmentation of driving scene images is crucial for autonomous driving. While deep learning technology has significantly improved daytime image semantic segmentation, nighttime images pose challenges due to factors like poor lighting and overexposure, making it difficult to recognize small objects. To address this, we propose an Image Adaptive Enhancement (IAEN) module comprising a parameter predictor (Edip), multiple image processing filters (Mdif), and a Detail Processing Module (DPM). Edip combines image processing filters to predict parameters like exposure and hue, optimizing image quality. We adopt a novel image encoder to enhance parameter prediction accuracy by More >
