Traffic Congestion Prediction using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks: A Color-coding Approach

The traffic video data has become a critical factor in confining the state of traffic congestion due to the recent advancements in computer vision. This work proposes a unique technique for traffic video classification using a color-coding scheme before training the traffic data in a Deep convolutional neural network. At first, the video data is transformed into an imagery data set; then, the vehicle detection is performed using the You Only Look Once algorithm. A color-coded scheme has been adopted to transform the imagery dataset into a binary image dataset. These binary images are fed to a Deep Convolutional Neural Network. Using the UCSD dataset, we have obtained a classification accuracy of 98.2%

Food/Non-food Image Classification and Food Categorization using Pre-Trained GoogLeNet Model

Recent past has seen a lot of developments in the field of image-based dietary assessment. Food image classification and recognition are crucial steps for dietary assessment. In the last couple of years, advancements in the deep learning and convolutional neural networks proved to be a boon for the image classification and recognition tasks, specifically for food recognition because of the wide variety of food items. In this paper, we report experiments on food/non-food classification and food recognition using a GoogLeNet model based on deep convolutional neural network. The experiments were conducted on two image datasets created by our own, where the images were collected from existing image datasets, social media, and imaging devices such as smart phone and wearable cameras. Experimental results show a high accuracy of 99.2% on the food/non-food classification and 83.6% on the food category recognition

MAMMOGRAM AND TOMOSYNTHESIS CLASSIFICATION USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS

Mammography is the most widely used method of screening for breast cancer. Traditional mammography produces two-dimensional X-ray images, while advanced tomosynthesis mammography produces reconstructed three-dimensional images. Due to high variability in tumor size and shape, and the low signal-to-noise ratio inherent to mammography, manual classification yields a significant number of false positives, thereby contributing to an unnecessarily large number of biopsies performed to reduce the risk of misdiagnosis. Achieving high diagnostic accuracy requires expertise acquired over many years of experience as a radiologist. The convolutional neural network (CNN) is a popular deep-learning construct used in image classification. The convolutional process involves simplifying an image containing millions of pixels to a set of small feature maps, thereby reducing the input dimension while retaining the features that distinguish different classes of images. This technique has achieved significant advancements in large-set image-classification challenges in recent years. In this study, high-quality original mammograms and tomosynthesis were obtained with approval from an institutional review board. Different classifiers based on convolutional neural networks were built to classify the 2-D mammograms and 3-D tomosynthesis, and each classifier was evaluated based on its performance relative to truth values generated by a board of expert radiologists. The results show that CNNs have great potential for automatic breast cancer detection using mammograms and tomosynthesis

Machine Learning-Based Jamun Leaf Disease Detection: A Comprehensive Review

Jamun leaf diseases pose a significant threat to agricultural productivity, negatively impacting both yield and quality in the jamun industry. The advent of machine learning has opened up new avenues for tackling these diseases effectively. Early detection and diagnosis are essential for successful crop management. While no automated systems have yet been developed specifically for jamun leaf disease detection, various automated systems have been implemented for similar types of disease detection using image processing techniques. This paper presents a comprehensive review of machine learning methodologies employed for diagnosing plant leaf diseases through image classification, which can be adapted for jamun leaf disease detection. It meticulously assesses the strengths and limitations of various Vision Transformer models, including Transfer learning model and vision transformer (TLMViT), SLViT, SE-ViT, IterationViT, Tiny-LeViT, IEM-ViT, GreenViT, and PMViT. Additionally, the paper reviews models such as Dense Convolutional Network (DenseNet), Residual Neural Network (ResNet)-50V2, EfficientNet, Ensemble model, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Locally Reversible Transformer. These machine-learning models have been evaluated on various datasets, demonstrating their real-world applicability. This review not only sheds light on current advancements in the field but also provides valuable insights for future research directions in machine learning-based jamun leaf disease detection and classification

Offline Handwritten Signature Verification - Literature Review

The area of Handwritten Signature Verification has been broadly researched in the last decades, but remains an open research problem. The objective of signature verification systems is to discriminate if a given signature is genuine (produced by the claimed individual), or a forgery (produced by an impostor). This has demonstrated to be a challenging task, in particular in the offline (static) scenario, that uses images of scanned signatures, where the dynamic information about the signing process is not available. Many advancements have been proposed in the literature in the last 5-10 years, most notably the application of Deep Learning methods to learn feature representations from signature images. In this paper, we present how the problem has been handled in the past few decades, analyze the recent advancements in the field, and the potential directions for future research.Comment: Accepted to the International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools and Applications (IPTA 2017
