Every single year thousands of women endure painful and invasive surgery to remove breast lesions. Most of the time the mammographic image analysis leads to false positive detection and the majority of this actions reveal the lesions to be benign. Refining present detection and diagnostic tool is a major priority of our work. MATLAB R2015a is been used to develop the algorithm, which aids in detection of breast cancer in its early stage. The algorithm comprises of image processing and applying artificial intelligence where in the system is trained with a set of images so that when the input or the test image is given, the algorithm performs the image processing techniques and then applies the Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) technique for detection of cancer. The system performance is also been calculated in order to estimate its reliability.

To improve the efficiency of the periodic surveys of the asphalt pavement condition, this study puts forward an intelligent method for automating the classification of pavement crack patterns. The new approach relies on image processing techniques and computational intelligence algorithms. The image processing techniques of Laplacian pyramid and projection integral are employed to extract numerical features from digital images. Least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) and Differential Flower Pollination (DFP) are the two computational intelligence algorithms that are employed to construct the crack classification model based on the extracted features. LSSVM is employed for data classification. In addition, the model construction phase of LSSVM requires a proper setting of the regularization and kernel function parameters. This study relies on DFP to fine-tune these two parameters of LSSVM. A dataset consisting of 500 image samples and five class labels of alligator crack, diagonal crack, longitudinal crack, no crack, and transverse crack has been collected to train and verify the established approach. The experimental results show that the Laplacian pyramid is really helpful to enhance the pavement images and reveal the crack patterns. Moreover, the hybridization of LSSVM and DFP, named as DFP-LSSVM, used with the Laplacian pyramid at the level 4 can help us to achieve the highest classification accuracy rate of 93.04%. Thus, the new hybrid approach of DFP-LSSVM is a promising tool to assist transportation agencies in the task of pavement condition surveying.

Breast cancer is one of the main causes of women’s death. Thermal breast imaging is one the non-invasive method for cancer at early stage diagnosis. In contrast to mammography this method is cheap and painless and it can be used during pregnancy while ionized beams are not used. Specialists are seeking new ways to diagnose the cancer in early stages. Segmentation of the breast tissue is one of the most indispensable stages in most of the cancer diagnosis methods. By the advancement of infrared precise cameras, new and fast computers and nouvelle image processing approaches, it is feasible to use thermal imaging for diagnosis of breast cancer at early stages. Since the breast form is different in individuals, image segmentation is a hard task and semi-automatic or manual methods are usual in investigations. In this research the image data base of DMR-IR has been utilized and a now automatic approach has been proposed which does not need learning. Data were included 159 gray images used by dynamic protocol (132 healthy and 27 patients). In this study, by combination of different image processing methods, the segmentation of thermal images of the breast tissues have been completed automatically and results show the proper performance of recommended method.

In this study, an image processing techniques (IPTs) and a Sugeno-typed neuro-fuzzy system (NFS) model is presented for classifying the wheat grains into bread and durum. Images of 200 wheat grains are taken by a high resolution camera in order to generate the data set for training and testing processes of the NFS model. The features of 5 dimensions which are length, width, area, perimeter and fullness are acquired through using IPT. Then NFS model input with the dimension parameters are trained through 180 wheat grain data and their accuracies are tested via 20 data. The proposed NFS model numerically calculate the outputs with mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.0312 and classify the grains with accuracy of 100% for the testing process. These results show that the IPT based NFS model can be successfully applied to classification of wheat grains.

he disorder of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), a complication of Diabetes that may lead to blindness if not treated at an early stage, is diagnosed by evaluating the retina images of eye. However, the manual grading of images for identifying the seriousness of DR disease requires many resources and it also takes a lot of time. Automated systems give accurate results along with saving time. Ophthalmologists may find it useful in reducing their workload. Proposed work presents the method to correctly identify the lesions and classify DR images efficiently. Blood leaking out of veins form features such as exudates, microaneurysms and haemorrhages, on retina. Image processing techniques assist in DR detection. Median filtering is used on gray scale converted image to reduce noise. The features of the pre-processed images are extracted by textural feature analysis. Optic disc (OD) segmentation methodology is implemented for the removal of OD. Blood vessels are extracted using haar wavelet filters. KNN classifier is applied for classifying retinal image into diseased or healthy .The proposed algorithm is executed in MATLAB software and analyze results with regard to certain parameters such as accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The outcomes prove the superiority of the new method with sensitivity of 92.6%, specificity of 87.56% and accuracy of 95% on Diaretdb1 database.
