Stacked spectral feature space patch: An advanced spectral representation for precise crop classification based on convolutional neural network

Spectral and spatial features in remotely sensed data play an irreplaceable role in classifying crop types for precision agriculture. Despite the thriving establishment of the handcrafted features, designing or selecting such features valid for specific crop types requires prior knowledge and thus remains an open challenge. Convolutional neural networks(CNNs) can effectively overcome this issue with their advanced ability to generate high-level features automatically but are still inadequate in mining spectral features compared to mining spatial features. This study proposed an enhanced spectral feature called Stacked Spectral Feature Space Patch(SSFSP) for CNN-based crop classification. SSFSP is a stack of twodimensional(2 D) gridded spectral feature images that record various crop types’ spatial and intensity distribution characteristics in a 2 D feature space consisting of two spectral bands. SSFSP can be input into2 D-CNNs to support the simultaneous mining of spectral and spatial features, as the spectral features are successfully converted to 2 D images that can be processed by CNN. We tested the performance of SSFSP by using it as the input to seven CNN models and one multilayer perceptron model for crop type classification compared to using conventional spectral features as input. Using high spatial resolution hyperspectral datasets at three sites, the comparative study demonstrated that SSFSP outperforms conventional spectral features regarding classification accuracy, robustness, and training efficiency. The theoretical analysis summarizes three reasons for its excellent performance. First, SSFSP mines the spectral interrelationship with feature generality, which reduces the required number of training samples.Second, the intra-class variance can be largely reduced by grid partitioning. Third, SSFSP is a highly sparse feature, which reduces the dependence on the CNN model structure and enables early and fast convergence in model training. In conclusion, SSFSP has great potential for practical crop classification in precision agriculture.

Ensemble of Handcrafted and Deep Learning Model for Histopathological Image Classification

Histopathology is the investigation of tissues to identify the symptom of abnormality.The histopathological procedure comprises gathering samples of cells/tissues,setting them on the microscopic slides,and staining them.The investigation of the histopathological image is a problematic and laborious process that necessitates the expert’s knowledge.At the same time,deep learning(DL)techniques are able to derive features,extract data,and learn advanced abstract data representation.With this view,this paper presents an ensemble of handcrafted with deep learning enabled histopathological image classification(EHCDL-HIC)model.The proposed EHCDLHIC technique initially performs Weiner filtering based noise removal technique.Once the images get smoothened,an ensemble of deep features and local binary pattern(LBP)features are extracted.For the classification process,the bidirectional gated recurrent unit(BGRU)model can be employed.At the final stage,the bacterial foraging optimization(BFO)algorithm is utilized for optimal hyperparameter tuning process which leads to improved classification performance,shows the novelty of the work.For validating the enhanced execution of the proposed EHCDL-HIC method,a set of simulations is performed.The experimentation outcomes highlighted the betterment of the EHCDL-HIC approach over the existing techniques with maximum accuracy of 94.78%.Therefore,the EHCDL-HIC model can be applied as an effective approach for histopathological image classification.

Gastrointestinal Tract Infections Classification Using Deep Learning

Automatic gastrointestinal(GI)tract disease recognition is an important application of biomedical image processing.Conventionally,microscopic analysis of pathological tissue is used to detect abnormal areas of the GI tract.The procedure is subjective and results in significant inter-/intraobserver variations in disease detection.Moreover,a huge frame rate in video endoscopy is an overhead for the pathological findings of gastroenterologists to observe every frame with a detailed examination.Consequently,there is a huge demand for a reliable computer-aided diagnostic system(CADx)for diagnosing GI tract diseases.In this work,a CADx was proposed for the diagnosis and classification of GI tract diseases.A novel framework is presented where preprocessing(LAB color space)is performed first;then local binary patterns(LBP)or texture and deep learning(inceptionNet,ResNet50,and VGG-16)features are fused serially to improve the prediction of the abnormalities in the GI tract.Additionally,principal component analysis(PCA),entropy,and minimum redundancy and maximum relevance(mRMR)feature selection methods were analyzed to acquire the optimized characteristics,and various classifiers were trained using the fused features.Open-source color image datasets(KVASIR,NERTHUS,and stomach ULCER)were used for performance evaluation.The study revealed that the subspace discriminant classifier provided an efficient result with 95.02%accuracy on the KVASIR dataset,which proved to be better than the existing state-of-the-art approaches.
