Pomegranate fruits are infected by various diseases and pests, which negatively affect food security, productivity, and quality. Recent advancements in deep learning with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have significantly improved the accuracy of fruit disease detection and classification. The main objective of this investigation is to find the most suitable deep-learning architecture to enhance fruit disease detection and classification accuracy. The current study proposed an efficient deep learning-based approach to detect the most prominent diseases of pomegranate such as bacterial blight, anthracnose, fruit spot, wilt, and fruit borer. For experimentation, a total of 1493 stagewise diseases development images of fruits and leaves are captured via a camera of an interval of 25 days for a total of six months duration. Additionally, extensive data augmentation was performed to increase the dataset, data diversity and to achieve a more robust model for disease detection. For this, the performance of three CNN-based architectures i.e., ResNet50, ResNet18, and Inception-V3 on a real field environment dataset was measured. Experimental results revealed that the proposed CNN-based ResNet50 architecture has effectively detected and classified five different types of diseases whose symptoms are not well defined and with the capability to deal with complex backgrounds. The optimized ResNet50 model achieved 97.92 % test accuracy over ResNet18 (87.5 %) and Inception-V3 (78.75 %) on learning rate 0.001. The multiclass cross-entropy loss function is applied for determining the error rate. To deal with CNN ‘Black Box’ problem Grad-CAM model can be used in the future. The proposed method will help the agricultural industry in detecting the most prominent diseases of pomegranate, which are likely to cause a decrease in productivity, thereby avoiding economic loss.

In this paper, we propose two data augmentation schemes for deep learning architecture that can be used to directly estimate user location in an indoor environment using mobile phone tracking and electronic fingerprints based on reference points and access points. Using a pretrained model, the deep learning approach can significantly reduce data collection time, while the runtime is also significantly reduced. Numerical results indicate that an augmented training database containing seven days’ worth of measurements is sufficient to generate acceptable performance using a pretrained model. Experimental results find that the proposed augmentation schemes can achieve a test accuracy of 89.73% and an average location error that is as low as 2.54 m. Therefore, the proposed schemes demonstrate the feasibility of data augmentation using a deep neural network (DNN)-based indoor localization system that lowers the complexity required for use on mobile devices.

Pneumonia causes the death of around 700,000 children every year and affects 7% of the global population. Chest X-rays are primarily used for the diagnosis of this disease. However, even for a trained radiologist, it is a challenging task to examine chest X-rays. There is a need to improve the diagnosis accuracy. In this work, an efficient model for the detection of pneumonia trained on digital chest X-ray images is proposed, which could aid the radiologists in their decision making process. A novel approach based on a weighted classifier is introduced, which combines the weighted predictions from the state-of-the-art deep learning models such as ResNet18, Xception, InceptionV3, DenseNet121, and MobileNetV3 in an optimal way. This approach is a supervised learning approach in which the network predicts the result based on the quality of the dataset used. Transfer learning is used to fine-tune the deep learning models to obtain higher training and validation accuracy. Partial data augmentation techniques are employed to increase the training dataset in a balanced way. The proposed weighted classifier is able to outperform all the individual models. Finally, the model is evaluated, not only in terms of test accuracy, but also in the AUC score. The final proposed weighted classifier model is able to achieve a test accuracy of 98.43% and an AUC score of 99.76 on the unseen data from the Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center pneumonia dataset. Hence, the proposed model can be used for a quick diagnosis of pneumonia and can aid the radiologists in the diagnosis process.

Recently, deep-learning-based indoor localisation systems have attracted attention owing to their higher performance compared with traditional indoor localization systems. However, to achieve satisfactory performance, the former systems require large amounts of data to train deep learning models. Since obtaining the data is usually a tedious task, this requirement deters the use of deep learning approaches. To address this problem, we propose an improved data augmentation technique based on received signal strength indication (RSSI) values for fingerprint indoor positioning systems. The technique is implemented using available RSSI values at one reference point, and unlike existing techniques, it mimics the constantly varying RSSI signals. With this technique, the proposed method achieves a test accuracy of 95.26% in the laboratory simulation and 94.59% in a real-time environment, and the average location error is as low as 1.45 and 1.60 m, respectively. The method exhibits higher performance compared with an existing augmentation method. In particular, the data augmentation technique can be applied irrespective of the positioning algorithm used.


Plants are seen as vital because they provide mankind with energy. Plant diseases can harm the leaf at any time between planting and harvesting, resulting in enormous losses in crop output and market value. A leaf disease detection system acts asignificant role in agricultural production. A large amount of labour is required for this process as well as an in-depth understanding of plant diseases. Determining the presence of illnesses in plant leaves requires the use of deep learning and machine learning methods, which classify the data based on a specified set. In this paper, apple and tomato leaves disease detection process is carried out by Chaotic Salp Swarm algorithm (CSSA) followed by Bi-directional Long Short Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) technique for classification. We've used the Bi-LSTM architecture to sense disease in tomato and apple leaves in studies. In order to determine the type of leaves, we trained a deep learning network using the PlantVillage dataset of damaged and healthy plant leaves. It is estimated that the trained model achieves a test accuracy of 96%.

Plant disease severely affects the crop production. Food security is always a challenge because the population of the world is increasing at a rapid rate. Diseases in plants can be controlled at the initial stage with the help of automatic system that can be able to detect the wide variety of diseases before its spreading to the whole cultivation area. With the development of various machine learning and deep learning algorithms it is now possible to design such an automatic system. Deep neural network like convolution neural network are able to detect the plant disease with high accuracy. In this paper we have discussed about the deep learning techniques, CNN and its parameters, data augmentation, transfer learning and various factor that affects the performance of DL model. Recent studies that apply the machine intelligence in plant leaf disease detection are also discussed.

The recent developments of deep learning support the identification and classification of lung diseases in medical images. Hence, numerous work on the detection of lung disease using deep learning can be found in the literature. This paper presents a survey of deep learning for lung disease detection in medical images. There has only been one survey paper published in the last five years regarding deep learning directed at lung diseases detection. However, their survey is lacking in the presentation of taxonomy and analysis of the trend of recent work. The objectives of this paper are to present a taxonomy of the state-of-the-art deep learning based lung disease detection systems, visualise the trends of recent work on the domain and identify the remaining issues and potential future directions in this domain. Ninety-eight articles published from 2016 to 2020 were considered in this survey. The taxonomy consists of seven attributes that are common in the surveyed articles: image types, features, data augmentation, types of deep learning algorithms, transfer learning, the ensemble of classifiers and types of lung diseases. The presented taxonomy could be used by other researchers to plan their research contributions and activities. The potential future direction suggested could further improve the efficiency and increase the number of deep learning aided lung disease detection applications.

As failures in rotating machines can have serious implications, the timely detection and diagnosis of faults in these machines is imperative for their smooth and safe operation. Although deep learning offers the advantage of autonomously learning the fault characteristics from the data, the data scarcity from different health states often limits its applicability to only binary classification (healthy or faulty). This work proposes synthetic data augmentation through virtual sensors for the deep learning-based fault diagnosis of a rotating machine with 42 different classes. The original and augmented data were processed in a transfer learning framework and through a deep learning model from scratch. The two-dimensional visualization of the feature space from the original and augmented data showed that the latter’s data clusters are more distinct than the former’s. The proposed data augmentation showed a 6–15% improvement in training accuracy, a 44–49% improvement in validation accuracy, an 86–98% decline in training loss, and a 91–98% decline in validation loss. The improved generalization through data augmentation was verified by a 39–58% improvement in the test accuracy.

Leukemia is a cancer of blood cells in the bone marrow that affects both children and adolescents. The rapid growth of unusual lymphocyte cells leads to bone marrow failure, which may slow down the production of new blood cells, and hence increases patient morbidity and mortality. Age is a crucial clinical factor in leukemia diagnosis, since if leukemia is diagnosed in the early stages, it is highly curable. Incidence is increasing globally, as around 412,000 people worldwide are likely to be diagnosed with some type of leukemia, of which acute lymphoblastic leukemia accounts for approximately 12% of all leukemia cases worldwide. Thus, the reliable and accurate detection of normal and malignant cells is of major interest. Automatic detection with computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) models can assist medics, and can be beneficial for the early detection of leukemia. In this paper, a single center study, we aimed to build an aggregated deep learning model for Leukemic B-lymphoblast classification. To make a reliable and accurate deep learner, data augmentation techniques were applied to tackle the limited dataset size, and a transfer learning strategy was employed to accelerate the learning process, and further improve the performance of the proposed network. The results show that our proposed approach was able to fuse features extracted from the best deep learning models, and outperformed individual networks with a test accuracy of 96.58% in Leukemic B-lymphoblast diagnosis.

Among many of its architectures, deep neural network-based architecture known as convolutional neural networks are recently used widely for image detection and classification. Although it is a great tool for computer vision tasks, it demands a large amount of training data to yield high performance. In this paper, the data augmentation method is proposed to overcome the challenges faced due to a lack of insufficient training data. To analyze the effect of data augmentation, the proposed method uses two convolutional neural network architectures. To minimize the training time without compromising accuracy, models are built by fine-tuning pre-trained networks VGG16 and ResNet50. To evaluate the performance of the models, loss functions and accuracies are used. Proposed models are constructed using Keras deep learning framework and models are trained on a custom dataset created from Kaggle CAT vs DOG database. Experimental results showed that both the models achieved better test accuracy when data augmentation is employed, and model constructed using ResNet50 outperformed VGG16 based model with a test accuracy of 90% with data augmentation &amp; 82% without data augmentation.</span></span>
