Recently, quantum neural networks have been explored as one of the candidates for improving the computational efficiency of neural networks. In this chapter, after giving a brief review of quantum computing, the authors introduce our qubit neural network, which is a multi-layered neural network composed of quantum bit neurons. In this description, it is indispensable to use the complex-valued representation, which is based on the concept of quantum bit (qubit). By means of the simulations in solving the parity check problems as a bench mark examination, we show that the computational power of the qubit neural network is superior to that of the conventional complex-valued and real-valued neural networks. Furthermore, the authors explore its applications such as image processing and pattern recognition. Thus they clarify that this model outperforms the conventional neural networks.

Palm leaf manuscripts has been one of the ancient writing methods but the palm leaf manuscripts content requires to be inscribed in a new set of leaves. This study has provided a solution to save the contents in palm leaf manuscripts by recognizing the handwritten Tamil characters in manuscripts and storing them digitally. Character recognition is one of the most essential fields of pattern recognition and image processing. Generally Optical character recognition is the method of e-translation of typewritten text or handwritten images into machine editable text. The handwritten Tamil character recognition has been one of the challenging and active areas of research in the field of pattern recognition and image processing. In this study a trial was made to identify Tamil handwritten characters without extraction of feature using convolutional neural networks. This study uses convolutional neural networks for recognizing and classifying the Tamil palm leaf manuscripts of characters from separated character images. The convolutional neural network is a deep learning approach for which it does not need to retrieve features and also a rapid approach for character recognition. In the proposed system every character is expanded to needed pixels. The expanded characters have predetermined pixels and these pixels are considered as characteristics for neural network training. The trained network is employed for recognition and classification. Convolutional Network Model development contains convolution layer, Relu layer, pooling layer, fully connected layer. The ancient Tamil character dataset of 60 varying class has been created. The outputs reveal that the proposed approach generates better rates of recognition than that of schemes based on feature extraction for handwritten character recognition. The accuracy of the proposed approach has been identified as 97% which shows that the proposed approach is effective in terms of recognition of ancient characters.

AbstractIn recent years, the success of deep learning in natural scene image processing boosted its application in the analysis of remote sensing images. In this paper, we applied Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) on the semantic segmentation of remote sensing images. We improve the Encoder- Decoder CNN structure SegNet with index pooling and U-net to make them suitable for multi-targets semantic segmentation of remote sensing images. The results show that these two models have their own advantages and disadvantages on the segmentation of different objects. In addition, we propose an integrated algorithm that integrates these two models. Experimental results show that the presented integrated algorithm can exploite the advantages of both the models for multi-target segmentation and achieve a better segmentation compared to these two models.

Roads are vital components of infrastructure, the extraction of which has become a topic of significant interest in the field of remote sensing. Because deep learning has been a popular method in image processing and information extraction, researchers have paid more attention to extracting road using neural networks. This article proposes the improvement of neural networks to extract roads from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) remote sensing images. D-Linknet was first considered for its high performance; however, the huge scale of the net reduced computational efficiency. With a focus on the low computational efficiency problem of the popular D-LinkNet, this article made some improvements: (1) Replace the initial block with a stem block. (2) Rebuild the entire network based on ResNet units with a new structure, allowing for the construction of an improved neural network D-Linknetplus. (3) Add a 1 × 1 convolution layer before DBlock to reduce the input feature maps, reducing parameters and improving computational efficiency. Add another 1 × 1 convolution layer after DBlock to recover the required number of output channels. Accordingly, another improved neural network B-D-LinknetPlus was built. Comparisons were performed between the neural nets, and the verification were made with the Massachusetts Roads Dataset. The results show improved neural networks are helpful in reducing the network size and developing the precision needed for road extraction.

This article describes how images could be forged using different techniques, and the most common forgery is copy-move forgery, in which a part of an image is duplicated and placed elsewhere in the same image. This article describes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based method to accurately localize the tampered regions, which combines color filter array (CFA) features. The CFA interpolation algorithm introduces the correlation and consistency among the pixels, which can be easily destroyed by most image processing operations. The proposed CNN method can effectively distinguish the traces caused by copy-move forgeries and some post-processing operations. Additionally, it can utilize the classification result to guide the feature extraction, which can enhance the robustness of the learned features. This article, per the authors, tests the proposed method in several experiments. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the method on different forgeries and quantifies its robustness and sensitivity.

We discuss effective pattern recognition for contour images by hierarchical feature extraction. When pattern recognition is done for an unlimited object, it is effective to see the object in a perspective manner at the beginning and next to see in detail. General features are used for rough classification and local features are used for a more detailed classification. D-P matching is applied for classification of a typical contour image of individual class, which contains selected points called ""landmark""s, and rough classification is done. Features between these landmarks are analyzed and used as input data of neural networks for more detailed classification. We apply this to an illustrated referenced book of insects in which much information is classified hierarchically to verify the proposed method. By introducing landmarks, a neural network can be used effectively for pattern recognition of contour images.

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) technology models the pattern recognition capabilities of the neural networks of the brain. Similarly to a single neuron in the brain, artificial neuron unit receives inputs from many external sources, processes them, and makes decisions. Interestingly, ANN simulates the biological nervous system and draws on analogues of adaptive biological neurons. ANNs do not require rigidly structured experimental designs and can map functions using historical or incomplete data, which makes them a powerful tool for simulation of various non-linear systems.ANNs have many applications in various fields, including engineering, psychology, medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical research. Because of their capacity for making predictions, pattern recognition, and modeling, ANNs have been very useful in many aspects of pharmaceutical research including modeling of the brain neural network, analytical data analysis, drug modeling, protein structure and function, dosage optimization and manufacturing, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics modeling, and in vitro in vivo correlations. This review discusses the applications of ANNs in drug delivery and pharmacological research.

The chapter focuses on application of digital image processing and deep learning for analyzing the occurrence of malaria from the medical reports. This approach is helpful in quick identification of the disease from the preliminary tests which are carried out in a person affected by malaria. The combination of deep learning has made the process much advanced as the convolutional neural network is able to gain deeper insights from the medical images of the person. Since traditional methods are not able to detect malaria properly and quickly, by means of convolutional neural networks, the early detection of malaria has been possible, and thus, this process will open a new door in the world of medical science.
