Abstract This work researched apple quality identification and classification from real images containing complicated disturbance information (background was similar to the surface of the apples). This paper proposed a novel model based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) which aimed at accurate and fast grading of apple quality. The proposed model was trained and validated, with best training and validation accuracy of 99% and 98.98% at 2590th and 3000th step, respectively. Two other methods, which were Google Inception v3 model and traditional imaging process method, were also used for apple quality classification. The greatest training accuracy of the Google Inception v3 model was 92% with 91.2% validation accuracy. The 78.14% accuracy was obtained by traditional method based on histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) and gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) features merging and support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The three models were tested using independent 300 apples testing set, getting accuracy of 95.33%, 91.33%, and 77.67%, respectively. The results showed that the proposed model was more helpful and accurate for classification of apple quality. Furthermore, the training times of three methods were 27, 51, and 287 minutes, respectively. The proposed model can be considered a cost-effective method for fast grading of apple quality.

AbstractThis work researched apple quality identification and classification from real images containing complicated disturbance information (background was similar to the surface of the apples). This paper proposed a novel model based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) which aimed at accurate and fast grading of apple quality. Specific, complex, and useful image characteristics for detection and classification were captured by the proposed model. Compared with existing methods, the proposed model could better learn high-order features of two adjacent layers that were not in the same channel but were very related. The proposed model was trained and validated, with best training and validation accuracy of 99% and 98.98% at 2590th and 3000th step, respectively. The overall accuracy of the proposed model tested using an independent 300 apple dataset was 95.33%. The results showed that the training accuracy, overall test accuracy and training time of the proposed model were better than Google Inception v3 model and traditional imaging process method based on histogram of oriented gradient (HOG), gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) features merging and support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The proposed model has great potential in Apple’s quality detection and classification.


In this proposed method, MR Brain image segmentation technique based on K-means clustering combined with Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) based feature extraction and Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) based feature selection approach has been presented. A Perfect Radial Basis Function (RBF) - Support Vector Machine (SVM) Classifier has been selected for this process. The Performance of the classifier was estimated through accuracy based on the fractions selectivity and sensitivity. Accuracy of the proposed classifier was found to be 93%. Moreover, in this proposed method, instead of selecting the cluster centres in a random manner, Histogram technique was used.

The intension of the project is to classify objects in real world and to tracks them throughout their life spans. Object detection algorithms use feature extraction and learning algorithms to classification of an object category. Our algorithm uses a combination of “histogram of oriented gradient” (HOG) and “support vector machine” (SVM) classifier to classify of objects. Results have shown this to be a robust method in both classifying the objects along with tracking them in real time world.

AbstractBrain computer interface (BCI) systems have been regarded as a new way of communication for humans. In this research, common methods such as wavelet transform are applied in order to extract features. However, genetic algorithm (GA), as an evolutionary method, is used to select features. Finally, classification was done using the two approaches support vector machine (SVM) and Bayesian method. Five features were selected and the accuracy of Bayesian classification was measured to be 80% with dimension reduction. Ultimately, the classification accuracy reached 90.4% using SVM classifier. The results of the study indicate a better feature selection and the effective dimension reduction of these features, as well as a higher percentage of classification accuracy in comparison with other studies.

In this study, we propose an automated framework that combines diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics with machine learning algorithms to accurately classify control groups and groups with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) in the spinal cord. The comparison between selected voxel-based classification and mean value-based classification were performed. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier using a selected voxel-based dataset produced an accuracy of 95.73%, sensitivity of 93.41% and specificity of 98.64%. The efficacy of each index of diffusion for classification was also evaluated. Using the proposed approach, myelopathic areas in CSM are detected to provide an accurate reference to assist spine surgeons in surgical planning in complicated cases.

Women are far more likely than males to acquire breast cancer, and current research indicates that this is entirely avoidable. It is also to blame for higher death rates among younger women compared to older women in nearly all developing nations. Medical imaging modalities are continuously in need of development. A variety of medical techniques have been employed to detect breast cancer in women. The most recent studies support mammography for breast cancer screening, although its sensitivity and specificity remain suboptimal, particularly in individuals with thick breast tissue, such as young women. As a result, alternative modalities, such as thermography, are required. Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI), as it is known, detects and records temperature changes on the skin’s surface. Thermography is well-known for its non-invasive, painless, cost-effective, and high recovery rates, as well as its potential to identify breast cancer at an early stage. Gabor filters are used to extract the textural characteristics of the left and right breasts. Using a support vector machine, the thermograms are then classified as normal or malignant based on textural asymmetry between the breasts (SVM). The accuracy achieved by combining Gabor features with an SVM classifier is around 84.5 percent. The early diagnosis of cancer with thermography enhances the patient’s chances of survival significantly since it may detect the disease in its early stages.

Due to its special imaging characteristics, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has become an important source of information for a variety of remote sensing applications dealing with environmental changes. SAR images contain information about both phase and intensity in different polarization modes, making them sensitive to geometrical structure and physical properties of the targets such as dielectric and plant water content. In this study we investigate multi temporal changes occurring to different crop types due to phenological changes using high-resolution TerraSAR-X imagers. The dataset includes 17 dual-polarimetry TSX data acquired from June 2012 to August 2013 in Lorestan province, Iran. Several features are extracted from polarized data and classified using support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Training samples and different features employed in classification are also assessed in the study. Results show a satisfactory accuracy for classification which is about 0.91 in kappa coefficient.

Malware is a threat to people in the cyber world. It steals personal information and harms computer systems. Various developers and information security specialists around the globe continuously work on strategies for detecting malware. From the last few years, machine learning has been investigated by many researchers for malware classification. The existing solutions require more computing resources and are not efficient for datasets with large numbers of samples. Using existing feature extractors for extracting features of images consumes more resources. This paper presents a Convolutional Neural Network model with pre-processing and augmentation techniques for the classification of malware gray-scale images. An investigation is conducted on the Malimg dataset, which contains 9339 gray-scale images. The dataset created from binaries of malware belongs to 25 different families. To create a precise approach and considering the success of deep learning techniques for the classification of raising the volume of newly created malware, we proposed CNN and Hybrid CNN+SVM model. The CNN is used as an automatic feature extractor that uses less resource and time as compared to the existing methods. Proposed CNN model shows (98.03%) accuracy which is better than other existing CNN models namely VGG16 (96.96%), ResNet50 (97.11%) InceptionV3 (97.22%), Xception (97.56%). The execution time of the proposed CNN model is significantly reduced than other existing CNN models. The proposed CNN model is hybridized with a support vector machine. Instead of using Softmax as activation function, SVM performs the task of classifying the malware based on features extracted by the CNN model. The proposed fine-tuned model of CNN produces a well-selected features vector of 256 Neurons with the FC layer, which is input to SVM. Linear SVC kernel transforms the binary SVM classifier into multi-class SVM, which classifies the malware samples using the one-against-one method and delivers the accuracy of 99.59%.


Action recognition (AR) plays a fundamental role in computer vision and video analysis. We are witnessing an astronomical increase of video data on the web and it is difficult to recognize the action in video due to different view point of camera. For AR in video sequence, it depends upon appearance in frame and optical flow in frames of video. In video spatial and temporal components of video frames features play integral role for better classification of action in videos. In the proposed system, RGB frames and optical flow frames are used for AR with the help of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) pre-trained model Alex-Net extract features from fc7 layer. Support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used for the classification of AR in videos. For classification purpose, HMDB51 dataset have been used which includes 51 Classes of human action. The dataset is divided into 51 action categories. Using SVM classifier, extracted features are used for classification and achieved best result 95.6% accuracy as compared to other techniques of the state-of- art.v

This paper introduces an automated system for skin cancer (melanoma) detection from Histo-pathological images sampled from microscopic slides of skin biopsy. The proposed system is a hybrid system based on Particle Swarm Optimization and Support Vector Machine (PSO-SVM). The features used are extracted from the grayscale image histogram, the co-occurrence matrix and the energy of the wavelet coefficients resulting from the wavelet packet decomposition. The PSO-SVM system selects the best feature set and the best values for the SVM parameters (C and γ) that optimize the performance of the SVM classifier.   The system performance is tested on a real dataset obtained from the Southern Pathology Laboratory in Wollongong NSW, Australia. Evaluation results show a classification accuracy of 87.13%, a sensitivity of 94.1% and a specificity of 80.22%.The sensitivity and specificity results are comparable to those obtained by dermatologists.
