scholarly journals Preprocessing Medical Images for Classification using Deep Learning Techniques

Recently, the demand for computer vision techniques is continuously rising because of the development of techniques in decision making pertaining to health sector. Image processing is a subset of computer vision which makes use of algorithms to perform vision emulation to recognize objects. In this study a novel convolutional neural network is configured based on deep learning to classifying Chest x-ray images into five major classes. It addresses an issue of insufficiency in medical images for employing deep learning for image classification. A new augmentation technique superimposing of images helps to generate more new samples from the available images using label-preserving transformations. Data augmentation technique can generate new sample data from the original data using various transforming strategies. Therefore the data augmentation technique helps in accumulating enough data for processing to obtain better performance. The main objective of superimposing of two images is to minimize redundancy and uncertainty in the output image. Therefore the superimposing carried out with original image and a set of various augmented image to obtain better accuracy. Later results of various superimposing techniques are compared and evaluated to demonstrate the better techniques. It is concluded that the proposed techniques can obtain better performance in medical image classification problem.

(1) Background: Deep learning has become ubiquitous due to its impressive performance in various domains, such as varied as computer vision, natural language and speech processing, and game-playing. In this work, we investigated the performance of recent deep learning approaches on the laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) diagnosis task. (2) Methods: Our dataset is composed of 114 subjects with 37 pH-positive cases and 77 control cases. In contrast to prior work based on either reflux finding score (RFS) or pH monitoring, we directly take laryngoscope images as inputs to neural networks, as laryngoscopy is the most common and simple diagnostic method. The diagnosis task is formulated as a binary classification problem. We first tested a powerful backbone network that incorporates residual modules, attention mechanism and data augmentation. Furthermore, recent methods in transfer learning and few-shot learning were investigated. (3) Results: On our dataset, the performance is the best test classification accuracy is 73.4%, while the best AUC value is 76.2%. (4) Conclusions: This study demonstrates that deep learning techniques can be applied to classify LPR images automatically. Although the number of pH-positive images used for training is limited, deep network can still be capable of learning discriminant features with the advantage of technique.

The food security major threats are the diseases affected in plants such as citrus so that the identification in an earlier time is very important. Convenient malady recognition can assist the client with responding immediately and sketch for some guarded activities. This recognition can be completed without a human by utilizing plant leaf pictures. There are many methods employed for the classification and detection in machine learning (ML) models, but the combination of increasing advances in computer vision appears the deep learning (DL) area research to achieve a great potential in terms of increasing accuracy. In this paper, two ways of conventional neural networks are used named Alex Net and Res Net models with and without data augmentation involves the process of creating new data points by manipulating the original data. This process increases the number of training images in DL without the need to add new photos, it will appropriate in the case of small datasets. A self-dataset of 200 images of diseases and healthy citrus leaves are collected. The trained models with data augmentation give the best results with 95.83% and 97.92% for Res Net and Alex Net respectively.


There is a great growing interest in the domain of deep learning techniques for identifying and classifying images with various datasets. An enormous availability of datasets (e.g. ChestX-Ray14 dataset) has developed a keen interest in deep learning. Pneumonia is a disease that is caused by various bacteria, virus etc. X-ray is one of the major diagnosis tools for diagnosing pneumonia. This research work mainly proposes a convolutional neural system (CNN) model prepared without any preparation to group and identify the occurrence of pneumonia disease from a given assortment of chest X-ray image tests. Dissimilar to different strategies that depend exclusively on more learning draws near or conventional carefully assembled systems to accomplish an amazing grouping execution, and developed a convolutional neural arrange model without any preparation to separate and character the images to decide whether an individual is suffering with pneumonia. This model could help alleviate the dependability and difficult challenges frequently confronted to manage therapeutic problems. In this paper, CNN algorithm has been used along with different data augmentation techniques for improving the classification accuracies which has been discussed to increase the performance which will help in improving the validation and training accuracies and characterization of exactness of the CNN model and accomplished various results. This experiment was carried out using python language and has shown improved outcomes.

The cell cycle is an important process in cellular life. In recent years, some image processing methods have been developed to determine the cell cycle stages of individual cells. However, in most of these methods, cells have to be segmented, and their features need to be extracted. During feature extraction, some important information may be lost, resulting in lower classification accuracy. Thus, we used a deep learning method to retain all cell features. In order to solve the problems surrounding insufficient numbers of original images and the imbalanced distribution of original images, we used the Wasserstein generative adversarial network-gradient penalty (WGAN-GP) for data augmentation. At the same time, a residual network (ResNet) was used for image classification. ResNet is one of the most used deep learning classification networks. The classification accuracy of cell cycle images was achieved more effectively with our method, reaching 83.88%. Compared with an accuracy of 79.40% in previous experiments, our accuracy increased by 4.48%. Another dataset was used to verify the effect of our model and, compared with the accuracy from previous results, our accuracy increased by 12.52%. The results showed that our new cell cycle image classification system based on WGAN-GP and ResNet is useful for the classification of imbalanced images. Moreover, our method could potentially solve the low classification accuracy in biomedical images caused by insufficient numbers of original images and the imbalanced distribution of original images.
