Abstract Black fungus is a rare and dangerous mycology that usually affects the brain and lungs and could be life-threatening in diabetic cases. Recently, some COVID-19 survivors, especially those with co-morbid diseases, have been susceptible to black fungus. Therefore, recovered COVID-19 patients should seek medical support when they notice mucormycosis symptoms. This paper proposes a novel ensemble deep-learning model that includes three pre-trained models: reset (50), VGG (19), and Inception. Our approach is medically intuitive and efficient compared to the traditional deep learning models. An image dataset was aggregated from various resources and divided into two classes: a black fungus class… More >

Abstract The deep learning models are identified as having a significant impact on various problems. The same can be adapted to the problem of brain tumor classification. However, several deep learning models are presented earlier, but they need better classification accuracy. An efficient Multi-Feature Approximation Based Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model (MFA-CNN) is proposed to handle this issue. The method reads the input 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images and applies Gabor filters at multiple levels. The noise-removed image has been equalized for its quality by using histogram equalization. Further, the features like white mass, grey mass, texture, and shape are… More >

Abstract The identification of cancer tissues in Gastroenterology imaging poses novel challenges to the computer vision community in designing generic decision support systems. This generic nature demands the image descriptors to be invariant to illumination gradients, scaling, homogeneous illumination, and rotation. In this article, we devise a novel feature extraction methodology, which explores the effectiveness of Gabor filters coupled with Block Local Binary Patterns in designing such descriptors. We effectively exploit the illumination invariance properties of Block Local Binary Patterns and the inherent capability of convolutional neural networks to construct novel rotation, scale and illumination invariant features. The invariance characteristics of… More >

Abstract The necessity of on-time cancer detection is extremely high in the recent days as it becomes a threat to human life. The skin cancer is considered as one of the dangerous diseases among other types of cancer since it causes severe health impacts on human beings and hence it is highly mandatory to detect the skin cancer in the early stage for providing adequate treatment. Therefore, an effective image processing approach is employed in this present study for the accurate detection of skin cancer. Initially, the dermoscopy images of skin lesions are retrieved and processed by eliminating the noises with… More >

Abstract The present progress of visual-based detection of the diseased area of a malady plays an essential part in the medical field. In that case, the image processing is performed to improve the image data, wherein it inhibits unintended distortion of image features or it enhances further processing in various applications and fields. This helps to show better results especially for diagnosing diseases. Of late the early prediction of cancer is necessary to prevent disease-causing problems. This work is proposed to identify lung cancer using lung computed tomography (CT) scan images. It helps to identify cancer cells’ affected areas. In the… More >

Abstract Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic method that helps to assess and record the electrical impulses of heart. The traditional methods in the extraction of ECG features is inneffective for avoiding the computational abstractions in the ECG signal. The cardiologist and medical specialist find numerous difficulties in the process of traditional approaches. The specified restrictions are eliminated in the proposed classifier. The fundamental aim of this work is to find the R-R interval. To analyze the blockage, different approaches are implemented, which make the computation as facile with high accuracy. The information are recovered from the MIT-BIH dataset. The retrieved data… More >

Abstract Video capsule endoscope (VCE) is a developing methodology, which permits analysis of the full gastrointestinal (GI) tract with minimum intrusion. Although VCE permits for profound analysis, evaluating and analyzing for long hours of images is tiresome and cost-inefficient. To achieve automatic VCE-dependent GI disease detection, identifying the anatomical region shall permit for a more concentrated examination and abnormality identification in each area of the GI tract. Hence we proposed a hybrid (Long-short term memory-Visual Geometry Group network) LSTM-VGGNET based classification for the identification of the anatomical area inside the gastrointestinal tract caught by VCE images. The video input data is… More >

Abstract The unstructured growth of abnormal cells in the lung tissue creates tumor. The early detection of lung tumor helps the patients avoiding the death rate and gives better treatment. Various medical image modalities can help the physicians in the diagnosis of disease. Many research works have been proposed for the early detection of lung tumor. High computation time and misidentification of tumor are the prevailing issues. In order to overcome these issues, this paper has proposed a hybrid classifier of Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP)-Unet architecture with Whale Optimization Algorithm (ASPP-Unet -WOA). To get a fine tuning detection of tumor… More >

Abstract Breast cancer has become the second leading cause of death among women worldwide. In India, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every four minutes. There has been no known basis behind it, and detection is extremely challenging among medical scientists and researchers due to unknown reasons. In India, the ratio of women being identified with breast cancer in urban areas is 22:1. Symptoms for this disease are micro calcification, lumps, and masses in mammogram images. These sources are mostly used for early detection. Digital mammography is used for breast cancer detection. In this study, we introduce a new hybrid… More >

Abstract The size, shape, and physical characteristics of the human skull are distinct when considering individual humans. In physical anthropology, the accurate management of skull collections is crucial for storing and maintaining collections in a cost-effective manner. For example, labeling skulls inaccurately or attaching printed labels to skulls can affect the authenticity of collections. Given the multiple issues associated with the manual identification of skulls, we propose an automatic human skull classification approach that uses a support vector machine and different feature extraction methods such as gray-level co-occurrence matrix features, Gabor features, fractal features, discrete wavelet transforms, and combinations of features.… More >
