Summary

Machine learning (ML) deals with the specified algorithms that make the computer system capable of learning from the experience without being explicitly programmed. This domain comes under the umbrella of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and it is widely used in a range of disciplines namely, computer vision, medical diagnosis, image processing, signal processing and, robot control. The purpose of our Special Issue is to contribute to the demonstration of new algorithms and application domains of ML to solve problems in various research areas. Eventually, we are to promote research and development of deep learning for multimodal data, by publishing high-quality research articles and reviews/tutorials in this rapidly growing interdisciplinary field. This special issue will focus on collecting the latest research results on ML and its application.

    An Optimized Convolution Neural Network Architecture for Paddy Disease Classification

    Muhammad Asif Saleem, Muhammad Aamir, Rosziati Ibrahim, Norhalina Senan, Tahir Alyas
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.3, pp. 6053-6067, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.022215

    Abstract Plant disease classification based on digital pictures is challenging. Machine learning approaches and plant image categorization technologies such as deep learning have been utilized to recognize, identify, and diagnose plant diseases in the previous decade. Increasing the yield quantity and quality of rice forming is an important cause for the paddy production countries. However, some diseases that are blocking the improvement in paddy production are considered as an ominous threat. Convolution Neural Network (CNN) has shown a remarkable performance in solving the early detection of paddy leaf diseases based on its images in the fast-growing era of science and technology.… More >

    Use of Local Region Maps on Convolutional LSTM for Single-Image HDR Reconstruction

    Seungwook Oh, GyeongIk Shin, Hyunki Hong
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.3, pp. 4555-4572, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.022086

    Abstract Low dynamic range (LDR) images captured by consumer cameras have a limited luminance range. As the conventional method for generating high dynamic range (HDR) images involves merging multiple-exposure LDR images of the same scene (assuming a stationary scene), we introduce a learning-based model for single-image HDR reconstruction. An input LDR image is sequentially segmented into the local region maps based on the cumulative histogram of the input brightness distribution. Using the local region maps, SParam-Net estimates the parameters of an inverse tone mapping function to generate a pseudo-HDR image. We process the segmented region maps as the input sequences on… More >

    Encoder-Decoder Based LSTM Model to Advance User QoE in 360-Degree Video

    Muhammad Usman Younus, Rabia Shafi, Ammar Rafiq, Muhammad Rizwan Anjum, Sharjeel Afridi, Abdul Aleem Jamali, Zulfiqar Ali Arain
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.2, pp. 2617-2631, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.022236

    Abstract The development of multimedia content has resulted in a massive increase in network traffic for video streaming. It demands such types of solutions that can be addressed to obtain the user's Quality-of-Experience (QoE). 360-degree videos have already taken up the user's behavior by storm. However, the users only focus on the part of 360-degree videos, known as a viewport. Despite the immense hype, 360-degree videos convey a loathsome side effect about viewport prediction, making viewers feel uncomfortable because user viewport needs to be pre-fetched in advance. Ideally, we can minimize the bandwidth consumption if we know what the user motion… More >

    A Transfer Learning-Based Approach to Detect Cerebral Microbleeds

    Sitara Afzal, Imran Ullah Khan, Jong Weon Lee
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.1, pp. 1903-1923, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.021930
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Application of Machine-Learning in Computer Vision)
    Abstract Cerebral microbleeds are small chronic vascular diseases that occur because of irregularities in the cerebrum vessels. Individuals and elderly people with brain injury and dementia can have small microbleeds in their brains. A recent study has shown that cerebral microbleeds could be remarkably risky in terms of life and can be riskier for patients with dementia. In this study, we proposed an efficient approach to automatically identify microbleeds by reducing the false positives in openly available susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) data samples. The proposed structure comprises two different pre-trained convolutional models with four stages. These stages include (i) skull removal and… More >

    Effective Video Summarization Approach Based on Visual Attention

    Hilal Ahmad, Habib Ullah Khan, Sikandar Ali, Syed Ijaz Ur Rahman, Fazli Wahid, Hizbullah Khattak
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.1, pp. 1427-1442, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.021158

    Abstract Video summarization is applied to reduce redundancy and develop a concise representation of key frames in the video, more recently, video summaries have been used through visual attention modeling. In these schemes, the frames that stand out visually are extracted as key frames based on human attention modeling theories. The schemes for modeling visual attention have proven to be effective for video summaries. Nevertheless, the high cost of computing in such techniques restricts their usability in everyday situations. In this context, we propose a method based on KFE (key frame extraction) technique, which is recommended based on an efficient and… More >
