Different whiteboard image degradations highly reduce the legibility of pen-stroke content as well as the overall quality of the images. Consequently, different researchers addressed the problem through different image enhancement techniques. Most of the state-of-the-art approaches applied common image processing techniques such as background foreground segmentation, text extraction, contrast and color enhancements and white balancing. However, such types of conventional enhancement methods are incapable of recovering severely degraded pen-stroke contents and produce artifacts in the presence of complex pen-stroke illustrations. In order to surmount such problems, the authors have proposed a deep learning based solution. They have contributed a new whiteboard image data set and adopted two deep convolutional neural network architectures for whiteboard image quality enhancement applications. Their different evaluations of the trained models demonstrated their superior performances over the conventional methods.

Nuclei instance segmentation can be considered as a key point in the computer-mediated analysis of histological fluorescence-stained (FS) images. Many computer-assisted approaches have been proposed for this task, and among them, supervised deep learning (DL) methods deliver the best performances. An important criterion that can affect the DL-based nuclei instance segmentation performance of FS images is the utilised image bit depth, but to our knowledge, no study has been conducted so far to investigate this impact. In this work, we released a fully annotated FS histological image dataset of nuclei at different image magnifications and from five different mouse organs. Moreover, by different pre-processing techniques and using one of the state-of-the-art DL-based methods, we investigated the impact of image bit depth (i.e., eight bits vs. sixteen bits) on the nuclei instance segmentation performance. The results obtained from our dataset and another publicly available dataset showed very competitive nuclei instance segmentation performances for the models trained with 8 bit and 16 bit images. This suggested that processing 8 bit images is sufficient for nuclei instance segmentation of FS images in most cases. The dataset including the raw image patches, as well as the corresponding segmentation masks is publicly available in the published GitHub repository.

Leukemia detection and diagnosis by inspecting the blood cell images is an intriguing and dynamic exploration region in both the Artificial Intelligence and Medical research fields. There are numerous procedures created to look at blood tests to identify leukemia illness, these strategies are the customary methods and the deep learning (DL) strategy. This survey paper presents a review on the distinctive conventional strategies and Deep Learning and Machine Learning methods towards that have been utilized in leukemia illness diagnosis dependent on platelets images and to analyze between the two methodologies in nature of appraisal, exactness, cost and speed. This article covers 11 research papers, 9 of these examinations were in customary strategies which utilized image handling and AI (ML) calculations, such as, K-closest neighbor (KNN), K-means, SVM, Naïve Bayes, and 2 investigations in cutting edge procedures which utilized Deep Learning, especially Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) which is the most generally utilized in the field leukemia detection since it is profoundly precise, quick, and has the smallest expense. What's more, it dissects various late works that have been presented in the field including the dataset size, the pre-owned procedures, the acquired outcomes, and so forth. At last, in view of the led study, it very well may be reasoned that the proposed framework CNN was accomplishing immense triumphs in the field whether in regards to highlights extraction or classification time, precision and also a best low cost in the identification of leukemia.

Digital Image Processing is application of computer algorithms to process, manipulate and interpret images. As a field it is playing an increasingly important role in many aspects of people’s daily life. Even though Image Processing has accomplished a great deal on its own, nowadays researches are being conducted in using it with Deep Learning (which is part of a broader family, Machine Learning) to achieve better performance in detecting and classifying objects in an image. Car’s License Plate Recognition is one of the hottest research topics in the domain of Image Processing (Computer Vision). It is having wide range of applications since license number is the primary and mandatory identifier of motor vehicles. When it comes to license plates in Ethiopia, they have unique features like Amharic characters, differing dimensions and plate formats. Although there is a research conducted on ELPR, it was attempted using the conventional image processing techniques but never with deep learning. In this proposed research an attempt is going to be made in tackling the problem of ELPR with deep learning and image processing. Tensorflow is going to be used in building the deep learning model and all the image processing is going to be done with OpenCV-Python. So, at the end of this research a deep learning model that recognizes Ethiopian license plates with better accuracy is going to be built.

This paper reviews automated visual-based defect detection approaches applicable to various materials, such as metals, ceramics and textiles. In the first part of the paper, we present a general taxonomy of the different defects that fall in two classes: visible (e.g., scratches, shape error, etc.) and palpable (e.g., crack, bump, etc.) defects. Then, we describe artificial visual processing techniques that are aimed at understanding of the captured scenery in a mathematical/logical way. We continue with a survey of textural defect detection based on statistical, structural and other approaches. Finally, we report the state of the art for approaching the detection and classification of defects through supervised and non-supervised classifiers and deep learning.

The installation of solar plants everywhere in the world increases year by year. Automated diagnostic methods are needed to inspect the solar plants and to identify anomalies within these photovoltaic panels. The inspection is usually carried out by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using thermal imaging sensors. The first step in the whole process is to detect the solar panels in those images. However, standard image processing techniques fail in case of low-contrast images or images with complex backgrounds. Moreover, the shades of power lines or structures similar to solar panels impede the automated detection process. In this research, two self-developed methods are compared for the detection of panels in this context, one based on classical techniques and another one based on deep learning, both with a common post-processing step. The first method is based on edge detection and classification, in contrast to the second method is based on training a region based convolutional neural networks to identify a panel. The first method corrects for the low contrast of the thermal image using several preprocessing techniques. Subsequently, edge detection, segmentation and segment classification are applied. The latter is done using a support vector machine trained with an optimized texture descriptor vector. The second method is based on deep learning trained with images that have been subjected to three different pre-processing operations. The postprocessing use the detected panels to infer the location of panels that were not detected. This step selects contours from detected panels based on the panel area and the angle of rotation. Then new panels are determined by the extrapolation of these contours. The panels in 100 random images taken from eleven UAV flights over three solar plants are labeled and used to evaluate the detection methods. The metrics for the new method based on classical techniques reaches a precision of 0.997, a recall of 0.970 and a F1 score of 0.983. The metrics for the method of deep learning reaches a precision of 0.996, a recall of 0.981 and a F1 score of 0.989. The two panel detection methods are highly effective in the presence of complex backgrounds.
