Abstract Accurate detection of small objects is critically important in high-stakes applications such as military reconnaissance and emergency rescue. However, low resolution, occlusion, and background interference make small object detection a complex and demanding task. One effective approach to overcome these issues is the integration of multimodal image data to enhance detection capabilities. This paper proposes a novel small object detection method that utilizes three types of multimodal image combinations, such as Hyperspectral–Multispectral (HS-MS), Hyperspectral–Synthetic Aperture Radar (HS-SAR), and HS-SAR–Digital Surface Model (HS-SAR-DSM). The detection process is done by the proposed Jaccard Deep Q-Net (JDQN), which More >

Abstract The diagnosis of Dry Eye Disease (DED), however, usually depends on clinical information and complex, high-dimensional datasets. To improve the performance of classification models, this paper proposes a Computer Aided Design (CAD) system that presents a new method for DED classification called (IAOO-PSO), which is a powerful Feature Selection technique (FS) that integrates with Opposition-Based Learning (OBL) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). We improve the speed of convergence with the PSO algorithm and the exploration with the IAOO algorithm. The IAOO is demonstrated to possess superior global optimization capabilities, as validated on the IEEE Congress on More >

Abstract Many applications, including security systems, medical diagnostics, and human-computer interfaces, depend on eye gaze recognition. However, due to factors including individual variations, occlusions, and shifting illumination conditions, real-world scenarios continue to provide difficulties for accurate and consistent eye gaze recognition. This work is aimed at investigating the potential benefits of employing transfer learning to improve eye gaze detection ability and efficiency. Transfer learning is the process of fine-tuning pre-trained models on smaller, domain-specific datasets after they have been trained on larger datasets. We study several transfer learning algorithms and evaluate their effectiveness on eye gaze… More >

Abstract Fisheye cameras offer a significantly larger field of view compared to conventional cameras, making them valuable tools in the field of computer vision. However, their unique optical characteristics often lead to image distortions, which pose challenges for object detection tasks. To address this issue, we propose Yolo-CaSKA (Yolo with Contrastive Learning and Selective Kernel Attention), a novel training method that enhances object detection on fisheye camera images. The standard image and the corresponding distorted fisheye image pairs are used as positive samples, and the rest of the image pairs are used as negative samples, which More >

Abstract This study rigorously evaluates the potential of transfer learning in diagnosing retinal eye diseases using advanced models such as YOLOv8, Xception, ConvNeXtTiny, and VGG16. All models were trained on the esteemed RFMiD dataset, which includes images classified into six critical categories: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), Macular Hole (MH), Diabetic Neuropathy (DN), Optic Disc Changes (ODC), Tesselated Fundus (TSLN), and normal cases. The research emphasizes enhancing model performance by prioritizing recall metrics, a crucial strategy aimed at minimizing false negatives in medical diagnostics. To address the challenge of imbalanced data, we implemented effective preprocessing techniques, including cropping,… More >

Abstract The intuitive fuzzy set has found important application in decision-making and machine learning. To enrich and utilize the intuitive fuzzy set, this study designed and developed a deep neural network-based glaucoma eye detection using fuzzy difference equations in the domain where the retinal images converge. Retinal image detections are categorized as normal eye recognition, suspected glaucomatous eye recognition, and glaucomatous eye recognition. Fuzzy degrees associated with weighted values are calculated to determine the level of concentration between the fuzzy partition and the retinal images. The proposed model was used to diagnose glaucoma using retinal images… More >

Abstract In the emerging field of image segmentation, Fully Convolutional Networks (FCNs) have recently become prominent. However, their effectiveness is intimately linked with the correct selection and fine-tuning of hyperparameters, which can often be a cumbersome manual task. The main aim of this study is to propose a more efficient, less labour-intensive approach to hyperparameter optimization in FCNs for segmenting fundus images. To this end, our research introduces a hyperparameter-optimized Fully Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Network (FCEDN). The optimization is handled by a novel Genetic Grey Wolf Optimization (G-GWO) algorithm. This algorithm employs the Genetic Algorithm (GA) to… More >

Abstract As ocular computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) tools become more widely accessible, many researchers are developing deep learning (DL) methods to aid in ocular disease (OHD) diagnosis. Common eye diseases like cataracts (CATR), glaucoma (GLU), and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are the focus of this study, which uses DL to examine their identification. Data imbalance and outliers are widespread in fundus images, which can make it difficult to apply many DL algorithms to accomplish this analytical assignment. The creation of effcient and reliable DL algorithms is seen to be the key to further enhancing detection performance. Using… More >

Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be defined as a neurodevelopmental condition or illness that can disturb kids who have heterogeneous characteristics, like changes in behavior, social disabilities, and difficulty communicating with others. Eye tracking (ET) has become a useful method to detect ASD. One vital aspect of moral erudition is the aptitude to have common visual attention. The eye-tracking approach offers valuable data regarding the visual behavior of children for accurate and early detection. Eye-tracking data can offer insightful information about the behavior and thought processes of people with ASD, but it is important to… More >

Abstract To prevent irreversible damage to one’s eyesight, ocular diseases (ODs) need to be recognized and treated immediately. Color fundus imaging (CFI) is a screening technology that is both effective and economical. According to CFIs, the early stages of the disease are characterized by a paucity of observable symptoms, which necessitates the prompt creation of automated and robust diagnostic algorithms. The traditional research focuses on image-level diagnostics that attend to the left and right eyes in isolation without making use of pertinent correlation data between the two sets of eyes. In addition, they usually only target… More >
