Skin diseases cases are increasing on a daily basis and are difficult to handle due to the global imbalance between skin disease patients and dermatologists. Skin diseases are among the top 5 leading cause of the worldwide disease burden. To reduce this burden, computer-aided diagnosis systems (CAD) are highly demanded. Single disease classification is the major shortcoming in the existing work. Due to the similar characteristics of skin diseases, classification of multiple skin lesions is very challenging. This research work is an extension of our existing work where a novel classification scheme is proposed for multi-class classification. The proposed classification framework can classify an input skin image into one of the six non-overlapping classes i.e., healthy, acne, eczema, psoriasis, benign and malignant melanoma. The proposed classification framework constitutes four steps, i.e., pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification. Different image processing and machine learning techniques are used to accomplish each step. 10-fold cross-validation is utilized, and experiments are performed on 1800 images. An accuracy of 94.74% was achieved using Quadratic Support Vector Machine. The proposed classification scheme can help patients in the early classification of skin lesions.

Multi Class Classification

Skin lesions are one of the typical symptoms of many diseases in humans and indicative of many types of cancer worldwide. Increased risks caused by the effects of climate change and a high cost of treatment, highlight the importance of skin cancer prevention efforts like this. The methods used to detect these diseases vary from a visual inspection performed by dermatologists to computational methods, and the latter has widely used automatic image classification applying Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in medical image analysis in the last few years. This article presents an approach that uses CNNs with a NASNet architecture to recognize in a more accurate way, without segmentation, eight skin diseases. The model was trained end-to-end on Keras with augmented skin diseases images from the International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC). The CNN architectures were initialized with weight from ImageNet, fine-tuned in order to discriminate well among the different types of skin lesions, and then 10-fold cross-validation was applied. Finally, some evaluation metrics are calculated as accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity and compare with other CNN trained architectures. This comparison shows that the proposed system offers higher accuracy results, with a significant reduction on the training paraments. To the best of our knowledge and based in the state-of-art recompiling in this work, the application of the NASNet architecture training with skin image lesion from ISIC archive for multi-class classification and evaluated by cross-validation, represents a novel skin disease classification system.

Core Concepts

One of the prime factors in ensuring a consistent marketing of crops is product quality, and the process of determining ripeness stages is a very important issue in the industry of (fruits and vegetables) production, since ripeness is the main quality indicator from the customers' perspective. To ensure optimum yield of high quality products, an objective and accurate ripeness assessment of agricultural crops is important. This chapter discusses the problem of determining different ripeness stages of tomato and presents a content-based image classification approach to automate the ripeness assessment process of tomato via examining and classifying the different ripeness stages as a solution for this problem. It introduces a survey about resent research work related to monitoring and classification of maturity stages for fruits/vegetables and provides the core concepts of color features, SVM, and PCA algorithms. Then it describes the proposed approach for solving the problem of determining different ripeness stages of tomatoes. The proposed approach consists of three phases, namely pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification phase. The classification process depends totally on color features (colored histogram and color moments), since the surface color of a tomato is the most important characteristic to observe ripeness. This approach uses Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms for feature extraction and classification, respectively.

Fruit Disease

Diseases in fruit cause devastating problems in economic losses and production in the agricultural industry worldwide. In this chapter, a method to detect and classify fruit diseases automatically is proposed and experimentally validated. The image processing-based proposed approach is composed of the following main steps: in the first step K-Means clustering technique is used for the defect segmentation, in the second step some color and texture features are extracted from the segmented defected part, and finally diseases are classified into one of the classes by using a multi-class Support Vector Machine. The authors have considered diseases of apple as a test case and evaluated the approach for three types of apple diseases, namely apple scab, apple blotch, and apple rot, along with normal apples. The experimental results express that the proposed solution can significantly support accurate detection and automatic classification of fruit diseases. The classification accuracy for the proposed approach is achieved up to 93% using textural information and multi-class support vector machine.

Abstract In today’s data-driven world, storing, processing and gleaning insights from large-scale data are major challenges. Data compression is often required in order to store large amounts of high-dimensional data, and thus, efficient inference methods for analyzing compressed data are necessary. Building on a recently designed simple framework for classification using binary data, we demonstrate that one can improve classification accuracy of this approach through iterative applications whose output serves as input to the next application. As a side consequence, we show that the original framework can be used as a data preprocessing step to improve the performance of other methods, such as support vector machines. For several simple settings, we showcase the ability to obtain theoretical guarantees for the accuracy of the iterative classification method. The simplicity of the underlying classification framework makes it amenable to theoretical analysis.

Skin Cancers

Skin cancers are one of the most common cancers in the world. Early detections and treatments of skin cancers can greatly improve the survival rates of patients. In this paper, a skin lesions classification system is developed with deep convolutional neural networks of ResNet50, which may help dermatologists to recognize skin cancers earlier. We utilize the ResNet50 as a pre-trained model. Then, by transfer learning, it is trained on our skin lesions dataset. Image preprocessing and dataset balancing methods are used to increase the accuracy of the classification model. In classification of skin diseases, our model achieves an overall accuracy of 83.74% on nine-class skin lesions. The experimental results show an impressive effect of the ResNet50 model in finegrained skin lesions classification and skin cancers recognition.
