Abstract Today, many eye diseases jeopardize our everyday lives, such as Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), and Glaucoma. Glaucoma is an incurable and unavoidable eye disease that damages the vision of optic nerves and quality of life. Classification of Glaucoma has been an active field of research for the past ten years. Several approaches for Glaucoma classification are established, beginning with conventional segmentation methods and feature-extraction to deep-learning techniques such as Convolution Neural Networks (CNN). In contrast, CNN classifies the input images directly using tuned parameters of convolution and pooling layers by extracting features.… More >

Abstract A novel practical and universal method of mask-wearing detection has been proposed to prevent viral respiratory infections. The proposed method quickly and accurately detects mask and facial regions using well-trained You Only Look Once (YOLO) detector, then applies image coordinates of the detected bounding box (bbox). First, the data that is used to train our model is collected under various circumstances such as light disturbances, distances, time variations, and different climate conditions. It also contains various mask types to detect in general and universal application of the model. To detect mask-wearing status, it is important… More >

Abstract The deep learning advancements have greatly improved the performance of speech recognition systems, and most recent systems are based on the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). Overall, the RNN works fine with the small sequence data, but suffers from the gradient vanishing problem in case of large sequence. The transformer networks have neutralized this issue and have shown state-of-the-art results on sequential or speech-related data. Generally, in speech recognition, the input audio is converted into an image using Mel-spectrogram to illustrate frequencies and intensities. The image is classified by the machine learning mechanism to generate a… More >

Abstract Research shows that deep learning algorithms can effectively improve a single image's super-resolution quality. However, if the algorithm is solely focused on increasing network depth and the desired result is not achieved, difficulties in the training process are more likely to arise. Simultaneously, the function space that can be transferred from a low-resolution image to a high-resolution image is enormous, making finding a satisfactory solution difficult. In this paper, we propose a deep learning method for single image super-resolution. The MDRN network framework uses multi-scale residual blocks and dual learning to fully acquire features in… More >

Abstract The use of massive image databases has increased drastically over the few years due to evolution of multimedia technology. Image retrieval has become one of the vital tools in image processing applications. Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been widely used in varied applications. But, the results produced by the usage of a single image feature are not satisfactory. So, multiple image features are used very often for attaining better results. But, fast and effective searching for relevant images from a database becomes a challenging task. In the previous existing system, the CBIR has used the… More >

Abstract The Deep learning (DL) network is an effective technique that has extended application in medicine, robotics, biotechnology, biometrics and communication. The unique architecture of DL networks can be trained according to classify any complex tasks in a limited duration. In the proposed work a deep convolution neural network of DL is trained to classify the antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNP). The process involves two processing steps; synthesis of silver nanoparticles and classification (SEM) of AgNP based on the antimicrobial activity. AgNP images from scanning electron microscope are pre-processed using Adaptive Histogram Equalization in the More >

Abstract Diabetes is associated with many complications that could lead to death. Diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes, is difficult to diagnose and may lead to vision loss. Visual identification of micro features in fundus images for the diagnosis of DR is a complex and challenging task for clinicians. Because clinical testing involves complex procedures and is time-consuming, an automated system would help ophthalmologists to detect DR and administer treatment in a timely manner so that blindness can be avoided. Previous research works have focused on image processing algorithms, or neural networks, or signal processing techniques… More >
