Abstract Class imbalance problems have attracted the research community but a few works have focused on feature selection with imbalanced datasets. To handle class imbalance problems, we developed a novel fitness function for feature selection using the chaotic salp swarm optimization algorithm, an efficient meta-heuristic optimization algorithm that has been successfully used in a wide range of optimization problems. This paper proposes an Adaboost algorithm with chaotic salp swarm optimization. The most discriminating features are selected using salp swarm optimization and Adaboost classifiers are thereafter trained on the features selected. Experiments show the ability of the proposed technique to find the optimal features with performance maximization of Adaboost.


Over the last decades, digital image processing based fire and smoke detection have been improving steadily to provide a more accurate detection results in the area of surveillance security system. Detection of the fire and smoke from the surveillance videos is very challenging task due to the complex structural properties of the video frames or images and need improvisation in the existing work by utilization of feature selection or optimization approach to select on optimal feature according to the fire and smoke. A research based on the combination of various feature extraction techniques with feature selection approach for fire and smoke detection has been presented in this paper. In this research, we develop Fire and Smoke Detection (FSD) system using digital image processing with the concept of Speed up Robust Feature (SURF) along with the Intelligent Water Drops (IWD) as a feature selection and optimization algorithm. Here, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used as an Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique with that helps to select a set of optimal feature from the extracted by SURF descriptor from the video frames. By utilizing the concept of optimized ANN, the accuracy of proposed FSD system is increases in terms of detection accuracy and with minimum percentage of error. At last, the performance of the FSD system is calculated to validate the model and this shows that it is possible to use IWD with SURF as a feature extraction technique in order to detect the fire or smoke form the surveillance video with minimum error rate and the simulation results clearly show the effectiveness of proposed FSD system

Developments in healthcare technologies have significantly enhanced spatial resolution and improved contrast resolution, permitting analysis of additional subtle structures than formerly attainable. An approach for Automatic recognition and quantification of calcifications from arteries in computed tomography (CT) scans is developed which is a key necessity in planning the treatment of individuals with suspected coronary artery disease. First, a Dual-Phase Multi-_objective Optimization approach using an Active Contour Model-based region-growing technique is developed. Second, an embedded feature selection method is developed with an expert classifier to detect calcified objects in the segmented artery with great accuracy. Finally, the Agatston scoring method is utilized to quantify the level of coronary artery calcium plaque. Coronary CT images from the AS+CT scanner with a slice thickness of 3 mm were obtained from clinical practice. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method improves the accuracy of lesion detection for better treatment planning.
