A significant number of the world’s population is dependent on rice for survival. In addition to sugarcane and corn, rice is said to be the third most growing staple food in the world. As a consequence of intensive usage of man-made fertilizers, paddy plant diseases have also risen at a faster pace in current history. Exploring the possible disease spread and classifying to detect the consequent impact at an early stage will prevent the loss and improve rice production. The core task of this research is to recognize and quantify different kinds of infections (disease) affecting the paddy plant crop, such as brown spots, bacterial blight, and leaf blasts. Both detection and recognition are carried out based on the risk analysis of paddy crop leaf images. We suggest a Deep Convolutional Neuro-Fuzzy Method (DCNFM) that combines one of the advanced machine learning variant, namely deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) and uncertainty handler called fuzzy logic. The synthesis has the benefits of both fuzzy logic and DCNNs when dealing with unstructured data, extracting essential features from imprecise and ambiguous datasets. From the crop field, continuous image data are captured through image sensors and fed as a primary input to the proposed model to analyze the risk and then later to classify them for precise recognition/detection of the disease. The detection/recognition rate of the DCNFM is found to be 98.17% which is comparatively found to be effective in comparison with the traditional CNN model.

<p>Accurate and early detection of plant diseases will facilitate mitigate the worldwide losses experienced by the agriculture area. MATLAB image processing provides quick and non-destructive means of rust disease detection. In this paper, microscopic image data of rust disease of <em>Lentil</em> was combined with image processing with depth information and developed a machine learning system to detect rust disease at early stage infected with fungus <em>Uromyces fabae</em> (Pers) de Bary. A novel feature set was extracted from the image data using local binary pattern (LBP) and HBBP (Brightness Bi-Histogram Equalization) for image enhancement. It was observed that by combining these, the accuracy of detection of the diseased plants at microscopic level was significantly improved. In addition, we showed that our novel feature set was capable of identifying rust disease at haustorium stage without spreading of disease. </p>

Agriculture is the backbone of human sustenance in this world. With growing population, there is need for increased productivity in agriculture to be able to meet the demands. Diseases can occur on any part of a plant, but in this paper only the symptoms in the fruits of a plant is considered using segmentation algorithm and edge/ sizing detectors. We also looked at image processing using fuzzy logic controller. The system was designed using object oriented analysis and design methodology. It was implemented using MySQL for the database, and PHP programming language. This system will be of great benefit to farmers and will encourage them in investing their resources since crop diseases can be detected and eliminated early.

Background: Cell detection and counting is of essential importance in evaluating the quality of early-stage embryo. Full automation of this process remains a challenging task due to different cell size, shape, the presence of incomplete cell boundaries, partially or fully overlapping cells. Moreover, the algorithm to be developed should process a large number of image data of different quality in a reasonable amount of time. Methods: Multi-focus image fusion approach based on deep learning U-Net architecture is proposed in the paper, which allows reducing the amount of data up to 7 times without losing spectral information required for embryo enhancement in the microscopic image. Results: The experiment includes the visual and quantitative analysis by estimating the image similarity metrics and processing times, which is compared to the results achieved by two wellknown techniques—Inverse Laplacian Pyramid Transform and Enhanced Correlation Coefficient Maximization. Conclusion: Comparatively, the image fusion time is substantially improved for different image resolutions, whilst ensuring the high quality of the fused image.

The prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), especially early-stage LUAD, is dependent on clinicopathological features. However, its predictive utility is limited. In this study, we developed and trained a DeepRePath model based on a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) using multi-scale pathology images to predict the prognosis of patients with early-stage LUAD. DeepRePath was pre-trained with 1067 hematoxylin and eosin-stained whole-slide images of LUAD from the Cancer Genome Atlas. DeepRePath was further trained and validated using two separate CNNs and multi-scale pathology images of 393 resected lung cancer specimens from patients with stage I and II LUAD. Of the 393 patients, 95 patients developed recurrence after surgical resection. The DeepRePath model showed average area under the curve (AUC) scores of 0.77 and 0.76 in cohort I and cohort II (external validation set), respectively. Owing to low performance, DeepRePath cannot be used as an automated tool in a clinical setting. When gradient-weighted class activation mapping was used, DeepRePath indicated the association between atypical nuclei, discohesive tumor cells, and tumor necrosis in pathology images showing recurrence. Despite the limitations associated with a relatively small number of patients, the DeepRePath model based on CNNs with transfer learning could predict recurrence after the curative resection of early-stage LUAD using multi-scale pathology images.

With the rapid development of digital technology, bird images have become an important part of ornithology research data. However, due to the rapid growth of bird image data, it has become a major challenge to effectively process such a large amount of data. In recent years, deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) have shown great potential and effectiveness in a variety of tasks regarding the automatic processing of bird images. However, no research has been conducted on the recognition of habitat elements in bird images, which is of great help when extracting habitat information from bird images. Here, we demonstrate the recognition of habitat elements using four DCNN models trained end-to-end directly based on images. To carry out this research, an image database called Habitat Elements of Bird Images (HEOBs-10) and composed of 10 categories of habitat elements was built, making future benchmarks and evaluations possible. Experiments showed that good results can be obtained by all the tested models. ResNet-152-based models yielded the best test accuracy rate (95.52%); the AlexNet-based model yielded the lowest test accuracy rate (89.48%). We conclude that DCNNs could be efficient and useful for automatically identifying habitat elements from bird images, and we believe that the practical application of this technology will be helpful for studying the relationships between birds and habitat elements.

Breast cancer is one of the main causes of women’s death. Thermal breast imaging is one the non-invasive method for cancer at early stage diagnosis. In contrast to mammography this method is cheap and painless and it can be used during pregnancy while ionized beams are not used. Specialists are seeking new ways to diagnose the cancer in early stages. Segmentation of the breast tissue is one of the most indispensable stages in most of the cancer diagnosis methods. By the advancement of infrared precise cameras, new and fast computers and nouvelle image processing approaches, it is feasible to use thermal imaging for diagnosis of breast cancer at early stages. Since the breast form is different in individuals, image segmentation is a hard task and semi-automatic or manual methods are usual in investigations. In this research the image data base of DMR-IR has been utilized and a now automatic approach has been proposed which does not need learning. Data were included 159 gray images used by dynamic protocol (132 healthy and 27 patients). In this study, by combination of different image processing methods, the segmentation of thermal images of the breast tissues have been completed automatically and results show the proper performance of recommended method.

Processing of Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) is one of the widely known best techniques to diagnose brain tumor since it gives better results than ultrasound or X-Ray images. The main objective is to diagnose the presence and extraction of brain tumor using MRI images. Image preprocessing includes contrast stretching, noise filtering and Adaptive Histogram Equalization(AHE). AHE gives a graphical representation of digital image without enhancing above the desired level. The next stage involves transferring the redundant information in input image to reduced set of features is called feature selection and is done by color, shape or texture of an image. Image is segmented using incorporation of Artificial Neural Networks(ANN) and Fuzzy logic called Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System(ANFIS) wherein we get the desired output to differentiate tumor affected and normal image with its severity level. Since we deal with uncertainty much more, fuzzy logic serves as a vibrant tool in representing human knowledge as IF-THEN rules. MATLAB has been implemented in detection and extraction of tumor at an early stage.
