From last decade, lung cancer become sign of fear among the people all over the world. As a result, many countries generate funds and give invitation to many scholars to overcome on this disease. Many researchers proposed many solutions and challenges of different phases of computer aided system to detect the lung cancer in early stages and give the facts about the lung cancer. CV (Computer Vision) play vital role to prevent lung cancer. Since image processing is necessary for computer vision, further in medical image processing there are many technical steps which are necessary to improve the performance of medical diagnostic machines. Without such steps programmer is unable to achieve accuracy given by another author using specific algorithm or technique. In this paper we highlight such steps which are used by many author in pre-processing, segmentation and classification methods of lung cancer area detection. If pre-processing and segmentation process have some ambiguity than ultimately it effects on classification process. We discuss such factors briefly so that new researchers can easily understand the situation to work further in which direction.

Lung Cancer Detection

Lung cancer is a disease that causes the cells present in the lungs which divide uncontrollably. This uncontrollable division of cells causes tumours which in turn decrease a person’s respiration. Early identification and diagnosis will help people to seek treatment and recover soon. Tumours are an abnormal mass of tissue that results when cells divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Identifying lung cancer in its early stages is very difficult but knowing about its symptoms is quite easy. Symptoms may be similar to those of respiratory problems or infections and sometimes there may be no symptoms at all. In this work mainly deals with the lung cancer detection using image processing techniques were involving all the intermediate stages such as preprocessing stage, noise removal, processing stage, postprocessing stage which finally gives output image after all those stages. Doctors can categorize tumour stage as initial or advanced based on patient CT scan report. The abnormal images are subjected to segmentation (threshold segmentation, watershed transformation) to focus on tumour portion. It mainly deals with image quality and clarity. Gabor filter algorithm plays a vital role for image enhancement in removing noise from an image. The ANN method gives us the best performance as it neglects the background and displays the required portion of an image that we need. This image processing technique is one of the most efficient way of detecting lung cancer.

Abstract This work intends to apprehend and emphasize the contribution of image-processing techniques and computer vision in the treatment of clay-based material known in Meknes region. One of the various characteristics used to describe clay in a qualitative manner is porosity, as it is considered one of the properties that with “kill or cure” effectiveness. For this purpose, we use scanning electron microscopy images, as they are considered the most powerful tool for characterising the quality of the microscopic pore structure of porous materials. We present various existing methods of segmentation, as we are interested only in pore regions. The results show good matching between physical estimation and Voronoi diagram-based porosity estimation.

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).

Varietal Purity

 In south India rice is the major food source and in agriculture, rice production covers more than 70 percentages of entire forming. But in recent the production only from south India not enough to satisfy the need of all, such a huge demand is there. The better production comes from the selection of good seeds. Up to now formers depend on two factors for selecting better seeds, One is the brand which is approved by some quality standards and second one is analyzed manually by experienced people. Both are risky one, we are not pretty much sure the accuracy of analyze. The second one is seeing and feeling. The inspection is not consistent also very time consuming. In the other way we can use computer vision technology to analyze the quality of the seeds. In recent years many of the big industries they are using computer vision technology with Digital Image Processing for many of the applications. In this Paper we are going to discuss the different seed quality analyzing methods and accuracy of result also. Moreover there are different factors and features are there for it, here we are going to study about varietal purity estimation by different methods.

The mortality rate is increasing among the growing population and one of the leading causes is lung cancer. Early diagnosis is required to decrease the number of deaths and increase the survival rate of lung cancer patients. With the advancements in the medical field and its technologies CAD system has played a significant role to detect the early symptoms in the patients which cannot be carried out manually without any error in it. CAD is detection system which has combined the machine learning algorithms with image processing using computer vision. In this research a novel approach to CAD system is presented to detect lung cancer using image processing techniques and classifying the detected nodules by CNN approach. The proposed method has taken CT scan image as input image and different image processing techniques such as histogram equalization, segmentation, morphological operations and feature extraction have been performed on it. A CNN based classifier is trained to classify the nodules as cancerous or non-cancerous. The performance of the system is evaluated in the terms of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy
