Abstract Sleep posture surveillance is crucial for patient comfort, yet current systems face difficulties in providing comprehensive studies due to the obstruction caused by blankets. Precise posture assessment remains challenging because of the complex nature of the human body and variations in sleep patterns. Consequently, this study introduces an innovative method utilizing RGB and thermal cameras for comprehensive posture classification, thereby enhancing the analysis of body position and comfort. This method begins by capturing a dataset of sleep postures in the form of videos using RGB and thermal cameras, which depict six commonly adopted postures: supine,… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In the domain of medical imaging, the accurate detection and classification of brain tumors is very important. This study introduces an advanced method for identifying camouflaged brain tumors within images. Our proposed model consists of three steps: Feature extraction, feature fusion, and then classification. The core of this model revolves around a feature extraction framework that combines color-transformed images with deep learning techniques, using the ResNet50 Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture. So the focus is to extract robust feature from MRI images, particularly emphasizing weighted average features extracted from the first convolutional layer renowned for… More >

Abstract Citrus fruit crops are among the world’s most important agricultural products, but pests and diseases impact their cultivation, resulting in yield and quality losses. Computer vision and machine learning have been widely used to detect and classify plant diseases over the last decade, allowing for early disease detection and improving agricultural production. This paper presented an automatic system for the early detection and classification of citrus plant diseases based on a deep learning (DL) model, which improved accuracy while decreasing computational complexity. The most recent transfer learning-based models were applied to the Citrus Plant Dataset More >

Abstract More than 500,000 patients are diagnosed with breast cancer annually. Authorities worldwide reported a death rate of 11.6% in 2018. Breast tumors are considered a fatal disease and primarily affect middle-aged women. Various approaches to identify and classify the disease using different technologies, such as deep learning and image segmentation, have been developed. Some of these methods reach 99% accuracy. However, boosting accuracy remains highly important as patients’ lives depend on early diagnosis and specified treatment plans. This paper presents a fully computerized method to detect and categorize tumor masses in the breast using two… More >

Abstract Medical images are used as a diagnostic tool, so protecting their confidentiality has long been a topic of study. From this, we propose a Resnet50-DCT-based zero watermarking algorithm for use with medical images. To begin, we use Resnet50, a pre-training network, to draw out the deep features of medical images. Then the deep features are transformed by DCT transform and the perceptual hash function is used to generate the feature vector. The original watermark is chaotic scrambled to get the encrypted watermark, and the watermark information is embedded into the original medical image by XOR… More >

Abstract Due to the difficulties of brain tumor segmentation, this paper proposes a strategy for extracting brain tumors from three-dimensional Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) scans utilizing 3D U-Net Design and ResNet50, taken after by conventional classification strategies. In this inquire, the ResNet50 picked up accuracy with 98.96%, and the 3D U-Net scored 97.99% among the different methods of deep learning. It is to be mentioned that traditional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) gives 97.90% accuracy on top of the 3D MRI. In expansion, the image fusion approach combines the multimodal images and makes a fused… More >

Abstract While the internet has a lot of positive impact on society, there are negative components. Accessible to everyone through online platforms, pornography is, inducing psychological and health related issues among people of all ages. While a difficult task, detecting pornography can be the important step in determining the porn and adult content in a video. In this paper, an architecture is proposed which yielded high scores for both training and testing. This dataset was produced from 190 videos, yielding more than 19 h of videos. The main sources for the content were from YouTube, movies, More >

Abstract Diabetic retinopathy is an eye deficiency that affects the retina as a result of the patient having Diabetes Mellitus caused by high sugar levels. This condition causes the blood vessels that nourish the retina to swell and become distorted and eventually become blocked. In recent times, images have played a vital role in using convolutional neural networks to automatically detect medical conditions, retinopathy takes this to another level because there is need not for just a system that could determine is a patient has retinopathy, but also a system that could tell the severity of… More >

Abstract Breast cancer is considered an immense threat and one of the leading causes of mortality in females. It is curable only when detected at an early stage. A standard cancer diagnosis approach involves detection of cancer-related anomalies in tumour histopathology images. Detection depends on the accurate identification of the landmarks in the visual artefacts present in the slide images. Researchers are continuously striving to develop automatic machine-learning algorithms for processing medical images to assist in tumour detection. Nowadays, computer-based automated systems play an important role in cancer image analysis and help healthcare experts make rapid… More >

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… More >
