Dermatitis Atopic and Psoriasis Skin Disease Classification by using Convolutional Neural Network

Skin is the one of the body parts that play a large role in human physical body. There are so many functions of the skin such as offering protection against fungal infection, bacteria, allergy, viruses and controls the temperature of the body. But, the reported shown that the skin disease is the most common disease in humans among all age groups and a significant root of infection. The diagnosis of skin diseases involves several tests. Due to this, the diagnosis process is seen to be intensely laborious, time-consuming and requires an extensive understanding aspecially for the skin disease that have similar symptoms. Two skin diseases that have similar symptoms and most misdiagnosed are atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Convolutional Neural Network for image processing and classifying have been developed for more accurate classification of skin diseases with different architectures. However, the accuracy in determining skin lesions using CNNs is on the average level. The factors that affect the accuracy result of a CNN is the depth where gradients vanished as the network goes deeper. Another factor is the variance in the training set which means the need of the large size of training set. Hence, in this study we tried 10 CNN architecture to get the best result for classifying dermatitis atopic and psoriasis. These are VGG 16, VGG 19, ResNet 50, ResNet 101, MobileNet, MobileNet V2, DenseNet 121, DenseNet 201, Inception and Xception. Experimental result shown that the inception V3 architecture give the best result with accuracy for data testing 84%, accuracy for unseen data 82% and confusion matrix with True positive obtained is 248, True Negative is 61, False positive is 54 and False Negative 298

Classification of Epilepsy Diagnostic Results through EEG Signals Using the Convolutional Neural Network Method

The brain is one of the most important organs in the human body as a central nervous system which functions as a controlling center, intelligence, creativity, emotions, memories, and body movements. Epileptic seizure is one of the disorder of the brain central nervous system which has many symptoms, such as loss of awareness, unusual behavior and confusion. These symptoms lead in many cases to injuries due to falls, biting one’s tongue. Detecting a possible seizure beforehand is not an easy task. Most of the seizures occur unexpectedly, and finding ways to detect a possible seizure before it happens has been a challenging task for many researchers. Analyzing EEG signals can help us obtain information that can be used to diagnose normal brain activity or epilepsy. CNN has been demonstrated high performance on detection and classification epileptic seizure. This research uses CNN to classify the epilepsy EEG signal dataset. AlexNet and LeNet-5 are applied in CNN architecture. The result of this research is that the AlexNet architecture provides better precision, recall, and f1-score values on the epilepsy signal EEG data than the LeNet-5 architecture. &nbsp

The Combination of Black Hat Transform and U-Net in Image Enhancement and Blood Vessel Segmentation in Retinal Images

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a disorder of the eye caused by damage to blood vessels in the retina. Damage to the retinal blood vessels can be analyzed by segmenting the blood vessels on the image. This study proposes a combination of image enhancement and blood vessel segmentation in retinal images. Retinal image enhancement is carried out using the black hat transform method to obtain a detailed view of blood vessels in retinal images. Segmentation of blood vessels in retinal images is carried out using the U-Net architecture. The results of image enhancement are measured using MSE and PSNR. This study has an MSE value below 0.05 and a PSNR above 90dB. The MSE and PSNR values obtained show that the black hat transform method is very good at image enhancement. Segmentation has an accuracy value above 0.95 and a sensitivity value above 0.85. In addition, the specificity value and f1-score are above 0.8. This shows that the proposed stages of image enhancement and blood vessel segmentation are able to accurately recognize blood vessel features in retinal images

Development Of A Cloud-Based Condition Monitoring Scheme For Distribution Transformer Protection

Distribution transformers are a necessity to ensure a reliable power supply to consumers and their inability to function properly or even breakdown should be avoided due to the high cost of replacing them. Distribution transformers are large in numbers and randomly distributed in cities and there is a need to accurately monitor their daily/hourly performance. To achieve this, real-time monitoring of the transformer’s health status is proposed rather than the use of the traditional approach involving physical inspection and testing which is slow, tedious and time-consuming. This paper presents a cloud-based monitoring scheme applied to a prototype distribution transformer. A 10kVA, 0.415 kV prototype distribution transformer has been acquired and connected to three residences for data acquisition. A data acquisition system has been developed to monitor and record the parameters of the prototype transformer for 14 days.  The parameters, monitored in real-time include load current, phase voltage, transformer oil level, ambient temperature and oil temperature. The acquired real-time data of the transformer is validated with the standard measuring instrument. An algorithm was developed to transmit and log the data to ThinkSpeak cloud server via node MCU (ESP 8266). Results obtained in this study, which can be visualized via the graphical user interface of ThinkSpeak, indicate that the proposed scheme can acquire vital data from the distribution transformers and transmit the information to the monitoring centre

Littering Activities Monitoring using Image Processing

Littering is a human behavior that become a habit since childhood. Even though there are rules that prohibit this behavior, the community still continues to do so. In order to limit this bad behavior, a device that can monitor and provide notifications is needed. In this research, a device is offered that can identify human activities in real time using webcam-based image processing. Then, it is processed by machine learning using the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). The monitoring device produced in this research works by comparing the captured image data with a dataset. The captured image data will then be extracted features and form several coordinate points on the human body, then the system will classify these human activities into the category of normal activities or littering activities. This device will provide an output in the form of a warning every time the activity of littering is detected. &nbsp
