One of the major challenges faced by video surveillance is recognition from low-resolution videos or person identification. Image enhancement methods play a significant role in enhancing the resolution of the video. This article introduces a technique for face super resolution based on a deep convolutional neural network (Deep CNN). At first, the video frames are extracted from the input video and the face detection is performed using the Viola-Jones algorithm. The detected face image and the scaling factors are fed into the Fractional-Grey Wolf Optimizer (FGWO)-based kernel weighted regression model and the proposed Deep CNN separately. Finally, the results obtained from both the techniques are integrated using a fuzzy logic system, offering a face image with enhanced resolution. Experimentation is carried out using the UCSD face video dataset, and the effectiveness of the proposed Deep CNN is checked depending on the block size and the upscaling factor values and is evaluated to be the best when compared to other existing techniques with an improved SDME value of 80.888.

AbstractLeukaemia detection and diagnosis in advance is the trending topic in the medical applications for reducing the death toll of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). For the detection of ALL, it is essential to analyse the white blood cells (WBCs) for which the blood smear images are employed. This paper proposes a new technique for the segmentation and classification of the acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. The proposed method of automatic leukaemia detection is based on the Deep Convolutional Neural Network (Deep CNN) that is trained using an optimization algorithm, named Grey wolf-based Jaya Optimization Algorithm (GreyJOA), which is developed using the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) and Jaya Optimization Algorithm (JOA) that improves the global convergence. Initially, the input image is applied to pre-processing and the segmentation is performed using the Sparse Fuzzy C-Means (Sparse FCM) clustering algorithm. Then, the features, such as Local Directional Patterns (LDP) and colour histogram-based features, are extracted from the segments of the pre-processed input image. Finally, the extracted features are applied to the Deep CNN for the classification. The experimentation evaluation of the method using the images of the ALL IDB2 database reveals that the proposed method acquired a maximal accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.9350, 0.9528, and 0.9389, respectively.

Purpose The problems of Super resolution are broadly discussed in diverse fields. Rather than the progression toward the super resolution models for real-time images, operating hyperspectral images still remains a challenging problem. Design/methodology/approach This paper aims to develop the enhanced image super-resolution model using “optimized Non-negative Structured Sparse Representation (NSSR), Adaptive Discrete Wavelet Transform (ADWT), and Optimized Deep Convolutional Neural Network”. Once after converting the HR images into LR images, the NSSR images are generated by the optimized NSSR. Then the ADWT is used for generating the subbands of both NSSR and HRSB images. The residual image with this information is obtained by the optimized Deep CNN. All the improvements on the algorithms are done by the Opposition-based Barnacles Mating Optimization (O-BMO), with the objective of attaining the multi-objective function concerning the “Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), and Structural similarity (SSIM) index”. Extensive analysis on benchmark hyperspectral image datasets shows that the proposed model achieves superior performance over typical other existing super-resolution models. Findings From the analysis, the overall analysis of the suggested and the conventional super resolution models relies that the PSNR of the improved O-BMO-(NSSR+DWT+CNN) was 38.8% better than bicubic, 11% better than NSSR, 16.7% better than DWT+CNN, 1.3% better than NSSR+DWT+CNN, and 0.5% better than NSSR+FF-SHO-(DWT+CNN). Hence, it has been confirmed that the developed O-BMO-(NSSR+DWT+CNN) is performing well in converting LR images to HR images. Originality/value This paper adopts a latest optimization algorithm called O-BMO with optimized Non-negative Structured Sparse Representation (NSSR), Adaptive Discrete Wavelet Transform (ADWT) and Optimized Deep Convolutional Neural Network for developing the enhanced image super-resolution model. This is the first work that uses O-BMO-based Deep CNN for image super-resolution model enhancement.

In radar signal processing, detecting the moving targets in a cluttered background remains a challenging task due to the moving out and entry of targets, which is highly unpredictable. In addition, detection of targets and estimation of the parameters have become a major constraint due to the lack of required information. However, the appropriate location of the targets cannot be detected using the existing techniques. To overcome such issues, this paper presents a developed Deep Convolutional Neural Network-enabled Neuro-Fuzzy System (Deep CNN-enabled Neuro-Fuzzy system) for detecting the moving targets using the radar signals. Initially, the received signal is presented to the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), matched filter, radar signatures-enabled Deep Recurrent Neural Network (Deep RNN), and introduced deep CNN to locate the targets. The target location output results are integrated using the newly introduced neuro-fuzzy system to detect the moving targets effectively. The proposed deep CNN-based neuro-fuzzy system obtained effective moving target detection results by varying the number of targets, iterations, and the pulse repetition level for the metrics, like detection time, missed target rate, and MSE with the minimal values of 1.221s, 0.022, and 1,952.15.

In this paper, we proposed a plant leaf disease identification model based on a Pretrained deep convolutional neural network (Deep CNN). The Deep CNN model is trained using an open dataset with 10 different classes of tomato leaves We observed that overall architectures which can increase the best performance of the model. The proposed model was trained using different training epochs, batch sizes and dropouts. The Xception has attained maximum accuracy compare with all other approaches. After an extensive simulation, the proposed model achieves classification accuracy better. This accuracy of the proposed work is greater than the accuracy of all other Pretrained approaches. The proposed model is also tested with respect to its consistency and reliability. The set of data used for this work was collected from the plant village dataset, including sick and healthy images. Models for detection of plant disease should predict the disease quickly and accurately in the early stage itself so that a proper precautionary measures can be applied to avoid further spread of the diseases. So, to reduce the main issue about the leaf diseases, we can analyze distinct kinds of deep neural network architectures in this research. From the outcomes, Xception has a constantly improving more to enhance the accuracy by increasing the number of epochs, without any indications of overfitting and decreasein quality. And Xception also generated a fine 99.45% precision in less computing time.
