Existing plant leaf disease detection approaches are based on features of extracting algorithms. These algorithms have some limits in feature selection for the diseased portion, but they can be used in conjunction with other image processing methods. Diseases of a plant can be classified from their symptoms. We proposed a cucumber leaf recognition approach, consisting of five steps: preprocessing, normalization, features extraction, features fusion, and classification. Otsu’s thresholding is implemented in preprocessing and Tan–Triggs normalization is applied for normalizing the dataset. During the features extraction step, texture and shape features are extracted. In addition, increasing the instances improves some characteristics. Through a principal component analysis approach, serial feature fusion is employed to provide a feature score. Fused features can be classified through a support vector machine. The accuracy of the Fine KNN is 94.30%, which is higher than the previous work in past papers.

Image processing techniques are widely used for the detection and classification of diseases for various plants. The structure of the plant and appearance of the disease on the plant pose a challenge for image processing. This research implements SVM (Support Vector Machine) based image-processing approach to analyze and classify three of the rice crop diseases. The process consists of two phases, i.e. training phase and disease prediction phase. The approach identifies disease on the leaf using trained classifier. The proposed research work optimizes SVM parameters (gamma, nu) for maximum efficiency. The results show that the proposed approach achieved 94.16% accuracy with 5.83% misclassification rate, 91.6% recall rate and 90.9% precision. These findings were compared with image processing techniques discussed in review of literature. The results of comparison conclude that the proposed methodology yields high accuracy percentage as compared to the other techniques. The results obtained can help the development of an effective software solution by incorporating image processing and collaboration features. This may facilitate the farmers and other bodies in effective decision making to efficiently protect the rice crops from substantial damage. While considering the findings of this research, the presented technique may be considered as a potential solution for adding image processing techniques to KM (Knowledge Management) systems.

<span>Scalp problems may occur due to the miscellaneous factor, which includes genetics, stress, abuse and hair products. The conventional technique for scalp and hair treatment involves high operational cost and complicated diagnosis. Besides, it is becoming progressively important for the payer to investigate the value of new treatment selection in the management of a specific scalp problem. As they are generally expensive and inconvenient, there is an increasing need for an affordable and convenient way of monitoring scalp conditions. Thus, this paper presents a study of pre-trained classification of scalp conditions using image processing techniques. Initially, the scalp image went through the pre-processing such as image enhancement and greyscale conversion. Next, three features of color, texture, and shape were extracted from each input image, and stored in a Region of Interest (ROI) table. The knowledge of the values of the pre-trained features is used as a reference in the classification process subsequently. A technique of Support Vector Machine (SVM) is employed to classify the three types of scalp conditions which are alopecia areata (AA), dandruff and normal. A total of 120 images of the scalp conditions were tested. The classification of scalp conditions indicated a good performance of 85% accuracy. It is expected that the outcome of this study may automatically classify the scalp condition, and may assist the user on a selection of suitable treatment available.</span>


Diabetic Retinopathy (Damage in Retina) is the most common threatening diabetic eye disease and cause leading vision loss and blindness. A patient with the diabetic disease needs to experience occasional screening of eye. To analysis, ophthalmologists may utilize fundus or retinal pictures of the patient gained from advanced fundus camera. However, if the symptoms are identified earlier and proper treatment is provided through regular screening and monitoring, the blindness or vision loss can be avoided. The present study is intended on developing an automatic system for the analysis of the retinal of fundus images by using image-processing techniques. So as to accelerate the procedure, the discovery of diabetic retinopathy image processing methods is utilized In this proposed study, the performance is evaluated using different segmentation algorithms and classifiers namely fuzzy c-means clustering, naïve Bayesian classifier, support vector machine to detect the diabetic retinopathy. The presentation of the strategy is assessed on the freely accessible retinal databases like DRIVE, STARE. The presentation of the retinal vessels on DRIVE database, sensitivity 100% and specificity 97.5% while for STARE database the sensitivity 99%, specificity 97%.The detection of accuracy can be defined with respect to expert physician hand-drawn and ground truths and the results are comparatively obtained and analyzed.

Abstract: Lung cancer has been a major contribution to mortality rates world-wide for many years now. There is a need for early diagnosis of lung cancer which if implemented, will help in reducing mortality rates. Recently, image processing techniques have been widely applied in various medical facilities for accurate detection and diagnosis of abnormality in the body images like in various cancers such as brain tumour, breast tumour and lung tumour. This paper is a development of an algorithm based on medical image processing to segment the lung tumour in CT images due to the lack of such algorithms and approaches used to detect tumours. The work involves the application of different image processing tools in order to arrive at the desired result when combined and successively applied. The segmentation system comprises different steps along the process. First, Image preprocessing is done where some enhancement is done to enhance and reduce noise in images. In the next step, the different parts in the images are separated to be able to segment the tumour. In this phase threshold value was selected automatically. Then morphological operation (Area opening) is implemented on the thresholded image. Finally, the lung tumour is accurately segmented by subtracting the opened image from the thresholded image. Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used to classify the lung tumour into 4 different types: Adenocarcinoma(AC), Large Cell Carcinoma(LCC) Squamous Cell Carcinoma(SCC), and No tumour (NT). Keywords: Lung tumour; image processing techniques; segmentation; thresholding; image enhancement; Support Vector Machine; Machine learning;

To improve the efficiency of the periodic surveys of the asphalt pavement condition, this study puts forward an intelligent method for automating the classification of pavement crack patterns. The new approach relies on image processing techniques and computational intelligence algorithms. The image processing techniques of Laplacian pyramid and projection integral are employed to extract numerical features from digital images. Least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) and Differential Flower Pollination (DFP) are the two computational intelligence algorithms that are employed to construct the crack classification model based on the extracted features. LSSVM is employed for data classification. In addition, the model construction phase of LSSVM requires a proper setting of the regularization and kernel function parameters. This study relies on DFP to fine-tune these two parameters of LSSVM. A dataset consisting of 500 image samples and five class labels of alligator crack, diagonal crack, longitudinal crack, no crack, and transverse crack has been collected to train and verify the established approach. The experimental results show that the Laplacian pyramid is really helpful to enhance the pavement images and reveal the crack patterns. Moreover, the hybridization of LSSVM and DFP, named as DFP-LSSVM, used with the Laplacian pyramid at the level 4 can help us to achieve the highest classification accuracy rate of 93.04%. Thus, the new hybrid approach of DFP-LSSVM is a promising tool to assist transportation agencies in the task of pavement condition surveying.

In this study, an image processing techniques (IPTs) and a Sugeno-typed neuro-fuzzy system (NFS) model is presented for classifying the wheat grains into bread and durum. Images of 200 wheat grains are taken by a high resolution camera in order to generate the data set for training and testing processes of the NFS model. The features of 5 dimensions which are length, width, area, perimeter and fullness are acquired through using IPT. Then NFS model input with the dimension parameters are trained through 180 wheat grain data and their accuracies are tested via 20 data. The proposed NFS model numerically calculate the outputs with mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.0312 and classify the grains with accuracy of 100% for the testing process. These results show that the IPT based NFS model can be successfully applied to classification of wheat grains.
