Abstract The increasing global population at a rapid pace makes road traffic dense; managing such massive traffic is challenging. In developing countries like Pakistan, road traffic accidents (RTA) have the highest mortality percentage among other Asian countries. The main reasons for RTAs are road cracks and potholes. Understanding the need for an automated system for the detection of cracks and potholes, this study proposes a decision support system (DSS) for an autonomous road information system for smart city development with the use of deep learning. The proposed DSS works in layers where initially the image of… More >

Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death around the globe. The treatment and survival rates among lung cancer patients are significantly impacted by early diagnosis. Most diagnostic techniques can identify and classify only one type of lung cancer. It is crucial to close this gap with a system that detects all lung cancer types. This paper proposes an intelligent decision support system for this purpose. This system aims to support the quick and early detection and classification of all lung cancer types and subtypes to improve treatment and save lives. Its algorithm uses… More >

Abstract In today’s digital era, e-healthcare systems exploit digital technologies and telecommunication devices such as mobile devices, computers and the internet to provide high-quality healthcare services. E-healthcare decision support systems have been developed to optimize the healthcare services and enhance a patient’s health. These systems enable rapid access to the specialized healthcare services via reliable information, retrieved from the cases or the patient histories. This phenomenon reduces the time taken by the patients to physically visit the healthcare institutions. In the current research work, a new Shuffled Frog Leap Optimizer with Deep Learning-based Decision Support System… More >

Abstract In recent times, cities are getting smart and can be managed effectively through diverse architectures and services. Smart cities have the ability to support smart medical systems that can infiltrate distinct events (i.e., smart hospitals, smart homes, and community health centres) and scenarios (e.g., rehabilitation, abnormal behavior monitoring, clinical decision-making, disease prevention and diagnosis postmarking surveillance and prescription recommendation). The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with recent technologies, for instance medical screening gadgets, are significant enough to deliver maximum performance and improved management services to handle chronic diseases. With latest developments in digital data collection,… More >

Abstract Humankind is facing another deadliest pandemic of all times in history, caused by COVID-19. Apart from this challenging pandemic, World Health Organization (WHO) considers tuberculosis (TB) as a preeminent infectious disease due to its high infection rate. Generally, both TB and COVID-19 severely affect the lungs, thus hardening the job of medical practitioners who can often misidentify these diseases in the current situation. Therefore, the time of need calls for an immediate and meticulous automatic diagnostic tool that can accurately discriminate both diseases. As one of the preliminary smart health systems that examine three clinical… More >

Abstract Climate change is the most serious causes and has a direct impact on biodiversity. According to the world’s biodiversity conservation organization, reptile species are most affected since their biological and ecological qualities are directly linked to climate. Due to a lack of time frame in existing works, conservation adoption affects the performance of existing works. The proposed research presents a knowledge-driven Decision Support System (DSS) including the assisted translocation to adapt to future climate change to conserving from its extinction. The Dynamic approach is used to develop a knowledge-driven DSS using machine learning by applying More >

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic and common form of dementia that mainly affects elderly individuals. The disease is dangerous because it causes damage to brain cells and tissues before the symptoms appear, and there is no medicinal or surgical treatment available yet for AD. AD causes loss of memory and functionality control in multiple degrees according to AD’s progression level. However, early diagnosis of AD can hinder its progression. Brain imaging tools such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scans, positron emission tomography (PET), etc. can help in medical diagnosis of AD.… More >

Abstract Recently, autonomous systems become a hot research topic among industrialists and academicians due to their applicability in different domains such as healthcare, agriculture, industrial automation, etc. Among the interesting applications of autonomous systems, their applicability in agricultural sector becomes significant. Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used for suitable site-specific weed management (SSWM) to improve crop productivity. In spite of substantial advancements in UAV based data collection systems, automated weed detection still remains a tedious task owing to the high resemblance of weeds to the crops. The recently developed deep learning (DL) models have… More >

Abstract Pulmonary diseases are common throughout the world, especially in developing countries. These diseases include chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, pneumonia, asthma, tuberculosis, fibrosis, and recently COVID-19. In general, pulmonary diseases have a similar footprint on chest radiographs which makes them difficult to discriminate even for expert radiologists. In recent years, many image processing techniques and artificial intelligence models have been developed to quickly and accurately diagnose lung diseases. In this paper, the performance of four popular pretrained models (namely VGG16, DenseNet201, DarkNet19, and XceptionNet) in distinguishing between different pulmonary diseases was analyzed.
