Abstract Watermarks can provide reliable and secure copyright protection for optical coherence tomography (OCT) fundus images. The effective image segmentation is helpful for promoting OCT image watermarking. However, OCT images have a large amount of low-quality data, which seriously affects the performance of segmentation methods. Therefore, this paper proposes an effective segmentation method for OCT fundus image watermarking using a rough convolutional neural network (RCNN). First, the rough-set-based feature discretization module is designed to preprocess the input data. Second, a dual attention mechanism for feature channels and spatial regions in the CNN is added to enable the model to adaptively select… More >

Abstract The overgrowth of weeds growing along with the primary crop in the fields reduces crop production. Conventional solutions like hand weeding are labor-intensive, costly, and time-consuming; farmers have used herbicides. The application of herbicide is effective but causes environmental and health concerns. Hence, Precision Agriculture (PA) suggests the variable spraying of herbicides so that herbicide chemicals do not affect the primary plants. Motivated by the gap above, we proposed a Deep Learning (DL) based model for detecting Eggplant (Brinjal) weed in this paper. The key objective of this study is to detect plant and non-plant (weed) parts from crop images.… More >

Abstract Small targets and occluded targets will inevitably appear in the image during the shooting process due to the influence of angle, distance, complex scene, illumination intensity, and other factors. These targets have few effective pixels, few features, and no apparent features, which makes extracting their efficient features difficult and easily leads to false detection, missed detection, and repeated detection, affecting the performance of target detection models. An improved faster region convolutional neural network (RCNN) algorithm (CF-RCNN) integrating convolutional block attention module (CBAM) and feature pyramid networks (FPN) is proposed to improve the detection and recognition accuracy of small-size objects, occluded… More >

Abstract Nowadays, industrial control system (ICS) has begun to integrate with the Internet. While the Internet has brought convenience to ICS, it has also brought severe security concerns. Traditional ICS network traffic anomaly detection methods rely on statistical features manually extracted using the experience of network security experts. They are not aimed at the original network data, nor can they capture the potential characteristics of network packets. Therefore, the following improvements were made in this study: (1) A dataset that can be used to evaluate anomaly detection algorithms is produced, which provides raw network data. (2) A request response-based convolutional neural… More >

Abstract Sign language is mainly utilized in communication with people who have hearing disabilities. Sign language is used to communicate with people having developmental impairments who have some or no interaction skills. The interaction via Sign language becomes a fruitful means of communication for hearing and speech impaired persons. A Hand gesture recognition system finds helpful for deaf and dumb people by making use of human computer interface (HCI) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) for identifying the static indications of Indian Sign Language (ISL). This study introduces a shark smell optimization with deep learning based automated sign language recognition (SSODL-ASLR) model… More >

Abstract Signet Ring Cell (SRC) Carcinoma is among the dangerous types of cancers, and has a major contribution towards the death ratio caused by cancerous diseases. Detection and diagnosis of SRC carcinoma at earlier stages is a challenging, laborious, and costly task. Automatic detection of SRCs in a patient's body through medical imaging by incorporating computing technologies is a hot topic of research. In the presented framework, we propose a novel approach that performs the identification and segmentation of SRCs in the histological images by using a deep learning (DL) technique named Mask Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Mask-RCNN). In the first… More >

Abstract Skin is the largest body organ that is prone to the environment most specifically. Therefore the skin is susceptible to many damages, including burn damage. Burns can endanger life and are linked to high morbidity and mortality rates. Effective diagnosis with the help of accurate burn zone and wound depth evaluation is important for clinical efficacy. The following characteristics are associated with the skin burn wound, such as healing, infection, painand stress and keloid formation. Tissue regeneration also takes a significant amount of time for formation while considering skin healing after a burn injury. Deep neural networks can automatically assist… More >

Abstract Brain tumors are considered as most fatal cancers. To reduce the risk of death, early identification of the disease is required. One of the best available methods to evaluate brain tumors is Magnetic resonance Images (MRI). Brain tumor detection and segmentation are tough as brain tumors may vary in size, shape, and location. That makes manual detection of brain tumors by exploring MRI a tedious job for radiologists and doctors’. So an automated brain tumor detection and segmentation is required. This work suggests a Region-based Convolution Neural Network (RCNN) approach for automated brain tumor identification and segmentation using MR images,… More >

Abstract Today, due to the pandemic of COVID-19 the entire world is facing a serious health crisis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), people in public places should wear a face mask to control the rapid transmission of COVID-19. The governmental bodies of different countries imposed that wearing a face mask is compulsory in public places. Therefore, it is very difficult to manually monitor people in overcrowded areas. This research focuses on providing a solution to enforce one of the important preventative measures of COVID-19 in public places, by presenting an automated system that automatically localizes masked and unmasked human… More >

Abstract Electricity conservation systems are designed to conserve electricity to manage the bridge between the high raising demand and the production. Such systems have been so far using sensors to detect the necessity which adds an additional cost to the setup. Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) has been installed in almost everywhere around us especially in commercial places. Interpretation of these CCTV images is being carried out for various reasons to elicit the information from it. Hence a framework for electricity conservation that enables the electricity supply only when required, using existing resources would be a cost effective conservation system. Such a framework… More >
