Melanoma is one of the most deadly skin cancers and amounts for ∼79% of skin cancer deaths. Early detection and timely therapeutic action can reduce mortality owing to melanoma. In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of our in-house skin image classification framework, trained based on a library of normal as well as pathological skin images, for automatic feature extraction and detection of melanoma. The described framework begins with active contour segmentation the skin images followed by extraction of both color and texture features from the segmented image and employs a neural network classifier to for trained identification of melanoma cases. Training and testing was conducted using a 10-fold cross validation strategy and led to 88.06% ± 1.65% accuracy in classification of melanoma images.

The classification of plants is one of the most important aims for botanists since plants have a significant part in the natural life cycle. In this work, a leaf-based automatic plant classification framework is investigated. The aim is to compare two different deep learning approaches named Deep Neural Network (DNN) and deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In the case of deep neural network, hybrid shapes and texture features are utilized as hand-crafted features while in the case of the convolution non-handcraft, features are applied for classification. The offered frameworks are evaluated with a public leaf database. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the deep CNN-based deep learning framework demonstrates superior classification performance than the handcraft feature based approach.

Skin problems general are distinguished on healthy and unhealthy skin. Based on the pores, unhealthy skin: dry, moist or oily skin. Skin problems are identified from the image capture results. Skin image is processed using histogram method which aim to get skin type pattern. The study used 7 images classified by skin type, determined histogram, then extracted with features of average intensity, contrast, slope, energy, entropy and subtlety. Specified skin type reference as a skin test comparator. The histogram-based skin feature feature aims to determine the pattern of pore classification of human skin. The results of the 1, 2, 3 leaf image testing were lean to normal skin (43%), 4, 5, tends to dry skin (29%), 6.7 tend to oily skin (29%). Percentage of feature-based extraction of histogram in image processing reaches 90-95%.

In earlier times fruits were sorted manually and it was very time consuming and laborious task. Human sorted the fruits of the basis of shape, size and color. Time taken by human to sort the fruits is very large therefore to reduce the time and to increase the accuracy, an automatic classification of fruits comes into existence.To improve this human inspection and reduce time required for fruit sorting an advance technique is developed that accepts information about fruits from their images, and is called as Image Processing Technique.

In recent years, automatic tissue phenotyping has attracted increasing interest in the Digital Pathology (DP) field. For Colorectal Cancer (CRC), tissue phenotyping can diagnose the cancer and differentiate between different cancer grades. The development of Whole Slide Images (WSIs) has provided the required data for creating automatic tissue phenotyping systems. In this paper, we study different hand-crafted feature-based and deep learning methods using two popular multi-classes CRC-tissue-type databases: Kather-CRC-2016 and CRC-TP. For the hand-crafted features, we use two texture descriptors (LPQ and BSIF) and their combination. In addition, two classifiers are used (SVM and NN) to classify the texture features into distinct CRC tissue types. For the deep learning methods, we evaluate four Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures (ResNet-101, ResNeXt-50, Inception-v3, and DenseNet-161). Moreover, we propose two Ensemble CNN approaches: Mean-Ensemble-CNN and NN-Ensemble-CNN. The experimental results show that the proposed approaches outperformed the hand-crafted feature-based methods, CNN architectures and the state-of-the-art methods in both databases.
