scholarly journals Retinal Exudates Detection Using Binary Operation and Hard Exudates Classification Using Support Vector Machine

Retinal exudates considered as a symptom of Diabetic retinopathy(DR) is one of most significant reason for visual deficiency. This paper focusses on early detection of hard exudates and to diagnose DR. Binary operations based exudate detection and SVM based hard exudate classification is discussed in this study. The RGB channel of fundus image is converted to HSI colour space for improved noise suppression and optic disc is eliminated preservinsg the blood vessels. In the final stage, hard exudates are classified using SVM classification. In order to evaluate the proposed approach, experiment tests are carried out on different set of images and the results are verified. The results are promising and suggest that the proposed method could be a diagnostic aid for ophthalmologists in the screening of DR

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most considerable reasons for visual impairment. The main objective of this paper is to automatically detect and recognize DR lesions like hard exudates, as it helps in diagnosing and screening of the disease. Here, binary operation based image processing for detecting lesions and fuzzy logic based extraction of hard exudates on diabetic retinal images are discused. In the initial stage, the binary operations are used to identify the exudates. Similarly, the RGB channel space of the DR image is used to create fuzzy sets and membership functions for extracting the exudates. The membership directives obtained from the fuzzy rule set are used to detect the grade of exudates. In order to evaluate the proposed approach, experiment tests are carriedout on various set of images and the results are verified. From the experiment results, the sensitivity obtained is 98.10%, specificity is 96.96% and accuracy is 98.2%.  These results suggest that the proposed method could be a diagnostic aid for ophthalmologists in the screening for DR.

AbstractWe study the set of transformations {ΣF : F∈ 𝓑∗(Ω)} implemented by a network Σ with a single binary operation F, where 𝓑∗(Ω) is the set of all binary operations on Ω that are invertible as function of the second variable. We state a criterion of bijectivity of all transformations from the family {ΣF : F∈ 𝓑∗(Ω)} in terms of the structure of the network Σ, identify necessary and sufficient conditions of transitivity of the set of transformations {ΣF : F∈ 𝓑∗(Ω)}, and propose an efficient way of verifying these conditions. We also describe an algorithm for construction of networks Σ with transitive sets of transformations {ΣF : F∈ 𝓑∗(Ω)}.

A restoration and classification computation for blurred image which depends on obscure identification and characterization is proposed in this paper. Initially, new obscure location calculation is proposed to recognize the Gaussian, Motion and Defocus based blurred locales in the image. The degradation-restoration model referred with pre-processing followed by binarization and features extraction/classification algorithm applied on obscure images. At this point, support vector machine (SVM) classification algorithm is proposed to cluster the blurred images. Once the obscure class of the locales is affirmed, the structure of the obscure kernels of the blurred images are affirmed. At that point, the obscure kernel estimation techniques are embraced to appraise the obscure kernels. At last, the blurred locales are re-established utilizing nonblind image deblurring calculation and supplant the blurred images with the restored images. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed calculation performs well

<p>Pedestrian detection, face detection, speech recognition and object detection are some of the applications that have benefited from hardware-accelerated SVM. SVM classification computational complexity makes it challenging for designing hardware architecture with real-time performance and low power consumption. On an embedded streaming architecture, test data are stored on external memory and transferred in streams to the FPGA device. The hardware<br />implementation for SVM classification needs to be fast enough to keep up with the data transfer speed. Prior implementation throttles data input to avoid overwhelming the computational unit. This results in a bottleneck in overall streaming architecture as maximum throughput could not be obtained. In this work, we propose a streaming architecture multi-class SVM classification for embedded system that is fully pipelined and able to process data continuously with out any need to throttle data stream input. The proposed design is targeted for embedded platform where test data is transferred in streams from an external memory. The architecture was implemented on Altera Cyclone IV platform. Performance analysis on our proposed architecture is done with regards to the number of features and support vectors. For validation, the results obtained is compared with LibSVM. The proposed architecture is able to produce output rate identical to test data input rate.</p>

Abstract. Remote sensing can make seagrass aboveground carbon stock (AGCseagrass) information spatially extensive and widely available. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a rapid approach to estimate AGCseagrass in the field to train and assess its remote sensing-based mapping. The aim of this research is to (1) analyze the Percent Cover (PCv)-AGCseagrass relationship in seagrass at the species and community levels to estimate AGCseagrass from PCv and (2) perform AGCseagrass mapping at both levels using WorldView-2 image and assess the accuracy of the resulting map. This research was conducted in Karimunjawa and Kemujan Islands, Indonesia. Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification was used to map seagrass species composition, and stepwise regression was used to model AGCseagrass using deglint, water column corrected, and principle component bands. The results were a rapid AGCseagrass estimation using an easily measured parameter, the seagrass PCv. At the community level, the AGCseagrass map had 58.79% accuracy (SEE = 5.41 g C m−2), whereas at the species level, the accuracy increased for the class Ea (64.73%, SEE = 6.86 g C m−2) and EaThCr (70.02%, SEE = 4.32 g C m−2) but decreased for ThCr (55.08%, SEE = 2.55 g C m−2). The results indicate that WorldView-2 image reflectance can accurately map AGCseagrass in the study area in the range of 15–20 g C m−2 for Ea, 10–15 g C m−2 for EaThCr, and 4–8 g C m−2 for ThCr. Based on our model, the AGCseagrass in the study area was estimated at 13.39 t C.

Support vector machine (SVM) is one of the top picks in pattern recognition and classification related tasks. It has been used successfully to classify linearly separable and nonlinearly separable data with high accuracy. However, in terms of classification speed, SVMs are outperformed by many machine learning algorithms, especially, when massive datasets are involved. SVM classification speed scales linearly with number of support vectors, and support vectors increase with increase in dataset size. Hence, SVM classification speed can be enormously reduced if it is trained on a reduced dataset. Instance selection techniques are one of the most effective techniques suitable for minimizing SVM training time. In this study, two instance selection techniques suitable for identifying relevant training instances are proposed. The techniques are evaluated on a dataset containing 4000 emails and results obtained compared to other existing techniques. Result reveals excellent improvement in SVM classification speed.

In this study, we propose a real-time pedestrian detection system using a FPGA with a digital image sensor. Comparing with some prior works, the proposed implementation realizes both the histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) and the trained support vector machine (SVM) classification on a FPGA. Moreover, the implementation does not use any external memory or processors to assist the implementation. Although the implementation implements both the HOG algorithm and the SVM classification in hardware without using any external memory modules and processors, the proposed implementation’s resource utilization of the FPGA is lower than most of the prior art. The main reasons resulting in the lower resource usage are: (1) simplification in the Getting Bin sub-module; (2) distributed writing and two shift registers in the Cell Histogram Generation sub-module; (3) reuse of each sum of the cell histogram in the Block Histogram Normalization sub-module; and (4) regarding a window of the SVM classification as 105 blocks of the SVM classification. Moreover, compared to Dalal and Triggs’s pure software HOG implementation, the proposed implementation‘s average detection rate is just about 4.05% less, but can achieve a much higher frame rate.
