Framelet transform and fuzzy clustering-based intelligent technique for speckle noise removal in ultrasound images

PurposeSpeckle noise removal in ultrasound images is one of the important tasks in biomedical-imaging applications. Many filtering -based despeckling methods are discussed in many existing works. Two-dimensional (2-D) transforms are also used enormously for the reduction of speckle noise in ultrasound medical images. In recent years, many soft computing-based intelligent techniques have been applied to noise removal and segmentation techniques. However, there is a requirement to improve the accuracy of despeckling using hybrid approaches.Design/methodology/approachThe work focuses on double-bank anatomy with framelet transform combined with Gaussian filter (GF) and also consists of a fuzzy kind of clustering approach for despeckling ultrasound medical images. The presented transform efficiently rejects the speckle noise based on the gray scale relative thresholding where the directional filter group (DFB) preserves the edge information.FindingsThe proposed approach is evaluated by different performance indicators such as the mean square error (MSE), peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) speckle suppression index (SSI), mean structural similarity and the edge preservation index (EPI) accordingly. It is found that the proposed methodology is superior in terms of all the above performance indicators.Originality/valueFuzzy kind clustering methods have been proved to be better than the conventional threshold methods for noise dismissal. The algorithm gives a reconcilable development as compared to other modern speckle reduction procedures, as it preserves the geometric features even after the noise dismissal.

Real-time implementation of Fuzzy Logic Controller based on chicken swarm optimization for the ball and plate system

The ball and Plate (BaP) system is the typical example of the nonlinear dynamic system that is used in a wide range of engineering applications. So, many researchers in the control field are using the Bap system to check robust controllers under several points that challenge it, such as internal and external disturbances. Our manuscript proposed a position control intelligent technique with two directions (2D) for the BaP system by optimized multi Fuzzy Logic Controllers (FLC’s) with Chicken Swarm Optimization (CSO) for each one. The gains and rules of the FLC’s can tune based on the CSO. This proposal utilizes the ability of the FLC’s to observe the position of the ball. At our work, the BaP system that belonged to Control Laboratory/Systems and Control Engineering department is used for real-time proposal implementation. The results have been showing a very good percentage enhancement in settling time, rise time, and overshoot, of the X-axis and Y-axis, respectively.

Detecting phishing websites using machine learning technique

In recent years, advancements in Internet and cloud technologies have led to a significant increase in electronic trading in which consumers make online purchases and transactions. This growth leads to unauthorized access to users’ sensitive information and damages the resources of an enterprise. Phishing is one of the familiar attacks that trick users to access malicious content and gain their information. In terms of website interface and uniform resource locator (URL), most phishing webpages look identical to the actual webpages. Various strategies for detecting phishing websites, such as blacklist, heuristic, Etc., have been suggested. However, due to inefficient security technologies, there is an exponential increase in the number of victims. The anonymous and uncontrollable framework of the Internet is more vulnerable to phishing attacks. Existing research works show that the performance of the phishing detection system is limited. There is a demand for an intelligent technique to protect users from the cyber-attacks. In this study, the author proposed a URL detection technique based on machine learning approaches. A recurrent neural network method is employed to detect phishing URL. Researcher evaluated the proposed method with 7900 malicious and 5800 legitimate sites, respectively. The experiments’ outcome shows that the proposed method’s performance is better than the recent approaches in malicious URL detection.

A Robust Image Encrypted Watermarking Technique for Neurodegenerative Disorder Diagnosis and Its Applications

The use of Internet technology has led to the availability of different multimedia data in various formats. The unapproved customers misuse multimedia information by conveying them on various web objections to acquire cash deceptively without the first copyright holder’s intervention. Due to the rise in cases of COVID-19, lots of patient information are leaked without their knowledge, so an intelligent technique is required to protect the integrity of patient data by placing an invisible signal known as a watermark on the medical images. In this paper, a new method of watermarking is proposed on both standard and medical images. The paper addresses the use of digital rights management in medical field applications such as embedding the watermark in medical images related to neurodegenerative disorders, lung disorders, and heart issues.

Using an Efficient Technique Based on Dynamic Learning Period for Improving Delay in AI-Based Handover

The future high-speed cellular networks require efficient and high-speed handover mechanisms. However, the traditional cellular handovers are based upon measurements of target cell radio strength which requires frequent measurement gaps. During these measurement windows, data transmission ceases each time, while target bearings are measured causing serious performance degradation. Therefore, prediction-based handover techniques are preferred in order to eliminate frequent measurement windows. Thus, this work proposes an ultrafast and efficient XGBoost-based predictive handover technique for next generation mobile communications. The ML algorithm in general prefers 70–30% of training and test data, respectively. However, always obtaining 70% of training samples in mobile communications is challenging because the channel remains correlated within coherence time only. Therefore, collecting training samples beyond coherence time limits performance and adds delay; thus, the proposed work trains the model within coherence time where this fixed data split of 70–30% makes the model exceed coherence time. Despite the fact that the proposed model gets starved of required training samples, still there is no loss in predication accuracy. The test results show a maximum delay improvement of up to 596 ms with enhanced performance efficiency of 68.70% depending upon the scenario. The proposed model reduces delay and improves efficiency by having an appropriate training period; thus, the intelligent technique activates faster with improved accuracy and eliminates delay in the algorithm to predict mmWaves’ signal strength in contrast to actually measuring them.
