Abstract Medical image segmentation, i.e., labeling structures of interest in medical images, is crucial for disease diagnosis and treatment in radiology. In reversible data hiding in medical images (RDHMI), segmentation consists of only two regions: the focal and nonfocal regions. The focal region mainly contains information for diagnosis, while the nonfocal region serves as the monochrome background. The current traditional segmentation methods utilized in RDHMI are inaccurate for complex medical images, and manual segmentation is time-consuming, poorly reproducible, and operator-dependent. Implementing state-of-the-art deep learning (DL) models will facilitate key benefits, but the lack of domain-specific labels… More >

Abstract Automated classification of retinal fundus images is essential for identifying eye diseases, though there is earlier research on applying deep learning models designed especially for detecting tessellation in retinal fundus images. This study classifies 4 classes of retinal fundus images with 3 diseased fundus images and 1 normal fundus image, by creating a refined VGG16 model to categorize fundus pictures into tessellated, normal, myopia, and choroidal neovascularization groups. The approach utilizes a VGG16 architecture that has been altered with unique fully connected layers and regularization using dropouts, along with data augmentation techniques (rotation, flip, and… More >

Abstract Lip-reading technology, based on visual speech decoding and automatic speech recognition, offers a promising solution to overcoming communication barriers, particularly for individuals with temporary or permanent speech impairments. However, most Visual Speech Recognition (VSR) research has primarily focused on the English language and general-purpose applications, limiting its practical applicability in medical and rehabilitative settings. This study introduces the first Deep Learning (DL) based lip-reading system for the Italian language designed to assist individuals with vocal cord pathologies in daily interactions, facilitating communication for patients recovering from vocal cord surgeries, whether temporarily or permanently impaired.

Abstract The increased accessibility of social networking services (SNSs) has facilitated communication and information sharing among users. However, it has also heightened concerns about digital safety, particularly for children and adolescents who are increasingly exposed to online grooming crimes. Early and accurate identification of grooming conversations is crucial in preventing long-term harm to victims. However, research on grooming detection in South Korea remains limited, as existing models trained primarily on English text and fail to reflect the unique linguistic features of SNS conversations, leading to inaccurate classifications. To address these issues, this study proposes a novel… More >
