Comparison of color-based feature extraction methods in banana leaf diseases classification using SVM and K-NN

In Malaysia, banana is a top fruit production which contribute to the economy growth in agriculture field. Hence, it is significant to have a quality production of banana and important to detect the plant diseases at the early stage. There are many types of banana leaf diseases such as Banana Mosaic, Black Sigatoka and Yellow Sigatoka. These three diseases are related to color changes at banana. This research paper is an experiment based and need to identify the best color feature extraction method to classify banana leaf diseases. Total of 48 banana leaf images that are used in this research paper. Four types of color feature extraction methods which are color histogram, color moment, hue, saturation, and value (HSV) histogram and color auto correlogram are experimented to determine the best method for banana leaf diseases classification. While for the classifiers, support vector machine (SVM) and k-Nearest neighbors (k-NN) are used to evaluate the performance and accuracy of each color feature extraction methods. There are also preliminary experiments to identify accurate parameters to use during classification for both classifiers. Our experimental result express that HSV histogram is the best method to classify banana leaf diseases with 83.33% of accuracy and SVM classifier perform better compared to k-NN.

Key-Frame Extraction Based on HSV Histogram and Adaptive Clustering

Along with the fast development of digital information technology and the application of Internet, video data begins to grow explosively. Some applications with high real-time requirements, such as object detection, require strong online video storage and analysis capabilities. Key-frame extraction is an important technique in video analysis, which provides an organizational framework for dealing with video content and reduces the amount of data required in video indexing. To address the problem, this study proposes a key-frame extraction method based on HSV (hue, saturation, value) histogram and adaptive clustering. The HSV histogram is used as color features for each frame, which reduces the amount of data. Furthermore, by using the transformed one-dimensional eigenvector, the fixed number of features can be extracted for images with different sizes. Then, a cluster validation technique, the silhouette coefficient, is employed to get the appropriate number of clusters without setting any clustering parameters. Finally, several algorithms are compared in the experiments. The density peak clustering algorithm (DPCA) model is shown to be more effective than the other four models in precision and F-measure.

Classification of Mammograms using Various Feature Extraction Methods and Machine Learning

Breast cancer is an alarming disease which takes millions of lives every year. In 2018, it was anticipated that 627,000 women died due to breast cancer – which is around 15% of all deaths caused due to different types of cancers among women. Currently, risk factors of breast cancer cannot be avoided, and early detection is the only way of survival. Automated detection of breast cancer with the help of image processing methods and machine learning algorithms helps in giving more accurate results and less human power. In the proposed system, multiple features are extracted using HSV histogram, LBP, GLCM, 2-D DWT. Support vector machine and LIBSVM classifiers are used for the classification of mammogram images if it’s benign or malign in nature. For classification, the INbreast dataset have been used which includes 115 cases containing 410 images. The dataset is divided into benign and malign category based upon BI-RAIDS scale. According to this partition we have 243 benign images and 100 malign images present in this dataset and a feature matrix of 595 features in total is generated for balanced and unbalanced datasets respectively and fed into SVM and LIBSVM to distinguish the data. The balanced datasets on LIBSVM gave best results with 92% accuracy, 84% sensitivity, 100% specificity and 91.30% F1 score followed by SVM which gave 75% accuracy, 73.61% sensitivity, 76.66% specificity and 75.8% F1 score.

A FLEXIBLE SUB-BLOCK IN REGION BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL BASED ON TRANSITION REGION

One of the techniques in region based image retrieval (RBIR) is comparing the global feature of an entire image and the local feature of image’s sub-block in query and database image. The determined sub-block must be able to detect an object with varying sizes and locations. So the sub-block with flexible size and location is needed. We propose a new method for local feature extraction by determining the flexible size and location of sub-block based on the transition region in region based image retrieval. Global features of both query and database image are extracted using invariant moment. Local features in database and query image are extracted using hue, saturation, and value (HSV) histogram and local binary patterns (LBP). There are several steps to extract the local feature of sub-block in the query image. First, preprocessing is conducted to get the transition region, then the flexible sub-block is determined based on the transition region. Afterward, the local feature of sub-block is extracted. The result of this application is the retrieved images ordered by the most similar to the query image. The local feature extraction with the proposed method is effective for image retrieval with precision and recall value are 57%.

A Background Subtraction Method for Defect Detection of Printed Image

Background subtraction is often used to detect the moving objects from static cameras. The difficult of defect detecting of printing matter is how to detect the unknown flaws in complicate background effectively. Inspired by the background modeling approach for moving objects detection, a background modeling method in defect detection of printed image is suggested in this paper. Those pixels without defects are regarded as background, while the flaw pixels are defined as foreground. Firstly, we select LBP histogram as texture feature and HSV histogram as color feature to model the background respectively. Then, lots of printed images in which there are no defects are used to update these two models. Finally, we utilize the models to detect defects of printing images. Experimental results show that this background model works well in our defect detection.
