Densely Convolutional BU-NET Framework for Breast Multi-Organ Cancer Nuclei Segmentation through Histopathological Slides and Classification Using Optimized Features

This study aims to develop a computational pathology approach that can properly detect and distinguish histology nuclei.This is crucial for histopathological image analysis,as it involves segmenting cell nuclei.However,challenges exist,such as determining the boundary region of normal and deformed nuclei and identifying small,irregular nuclei structures.Deep learning approaches are currently dominant in digital pathology for nucleus recognition and classification,but their complex features limit their practical use in clinical settings.The existing studies have limited accuracy,significant processing costs,and a lack of resilience and generalizability across diverse datasets.We proposed the densely convolutional Breast U-shaped Network(BU-NET)framework to overcome the mentioned issues.The study employs BU-NET’s spatial and channel attention methods to enhance segmentation processes.The inclusion of residual blocks and skip connections in the BU-NEt architecture enhances the process of extracting features and reconstructing the output.This enhances the robustness of training and convergence processes by reducing the occurrence of vanishing gradients.The primary objective of BU-NEt is to enhance the model’s capacity to acquire and analyze more intricate features,all the while preserving an efficient working representation.The BU-NET experiments demonstrate that the framework achieved 88.7%average accuracy,88.8%F1 score for Multi-Organ Nuclei Segmentation Challenge(MoNuSeg),and 91.2%average accuracy,91.8%average F1 for the triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)dataset.The framework also achieved 93.92 Area under the ROC Curve(AUC)for TNBC.The results demonstrated that the technology surpasses existing techniques in terms of accuracy and effectiveness in segmentation.Furthermore,it showcases the ability to withstand and recover from different tissue types and diseases,indicating possible uses in medical treatments.The research evaluated the efficacy of the proposed method on diverse histopathological imaging datasets,including cancer cells from many organs.The densely connected U-NEt technology offers a promising approach for automating and precisely segmenting cancer cells on histopathology slides,hence assisting pathologists in improving cancer diagnosis and treatment outcomes.

EfficientNetB1 Deep Learning Model for Microscopic Lung Cancer Lesion Detection and Classification Using Histopathological Images

Cancer poses a significant threat due to its aggressive nature,potential for widespread metastasis,and inherent heterogeneity,which often leads to resistance to chemotherapy.Lung cancer ranks among the most prevalent forms of cancer worldwide,affecting individuals of all genders.Timely and accurate lung cancer detection is critical for improving cancer patients’treatment outcomes and survival rates.Screening examinations for lung cancer detection,however,frequently fall short of detecting small polyps and cancers.To address these limitations,computer-aided techniques for lung cancer detection prove to be invaluable resources for both healthcare practitioners and patients alike.This research implements an enhanced EfficientNetB1 deep learning model for accurate detection and classification using histopathological images.The proposed technique accurately classifies the histopathological images into three distinct classes:(1)no cancer(benign),(2)adenocarcinomas,and(3)squamous cell carcinomas.We evaluated the performance of the proposed technique using the histopathological(LC25000)lung dataset.The preprocessing steps,such as image resizing and augmentation,are followed by loading a pretrained model and applying transfer learning.The dataset is then split into training and validation sets,with fine-tuning and retraining performed on the training dataset.The model’s performance is evaluated on the validation dataset,and the results of lung cancer detection and classification into three classes are obtained.The study’s findings show that an enhanced model achieves exceptional classification accuracy of 99.8%.

Detection of Copy-Move Forgery in Digital Images Using Singular Value Decomposition

This paper presents an improved approach for detecting copy-move forgery based on singular value decomposition(SVD).It is a block-based method where the image is scanned from left to right and top to down by a sliding window with a determined size.At each step,the SVD is determined.First,the diagonal matrix’s maximum value(norm)is selected(representing the scaling factor for SVD and a fixed value for each set of matrix elements even when rotating thematrix or scaled).Then,the similar norms are grouped,and each leading group is separated into many subgroups(elements of each subgroup are neighbors)according to 8-adjacency(the subgroups for each leading group must be far from others by a specific distance).After that,a weight is assigned for each subgroup to classify the image as forgery or not.Finally,the F1 score of the proposed system is measured,reaching 99.1%.This approach is robust against rotation,scaling,noisy images,and illumination variation.It is compared with other similarmethods and presents very promised results.

IoMT Enabled Melanoma Detection Using Improved Region Growing Lesion Boundary Extraction

The Internet ofMedical Things(IoMT)and cloud-based healthcare applications,services are beneficial for better decision-making in recent years.Melanoma is a deadly cancer with a highermortality rate than other skin cancer types such as basal cell,squamous cell,andMerkel cell.However,detection and treatment at an early stage can result in a higher chance of survival.The classical methods of detection are expensive and labor-intensive.Also,they rely on a trained practitioner’s level,and the availability of the needed equipment is essential for the early detection of Melanoma.The current improvement in computer-aided systems is providing very encouraging results in terms of precision and effectiveness.In this article,we propose an improved region growing technique for efficient extraction of the lesion boundary.This analysis and detection ofMelanoma are helpful for the expert dermatologist.The CNN features are extracted using the pre-trained VGG-19 deep learning model.In the end,the selected features are classified by SVM.The proposed technique is gauged on openly accessible two datasets ISIC 2017 and PH2.For the evaluation of our proposed framework,qualitative and quantitative experiments are performed.The suggested segmentation method has provided encouraging statistical results of Jaccard index 0.94,accuracy 95.7%on ISIC 2017,and Jaccard index 0.91,accuracy 93.3%on the PH2 dataset.These results are notably better than the results of prevalent methods available on the same datasets.The machine learning SVMclassifier executes significantly well on the suggested feature vector,and the comparative analysis is carried out with existing methods in terms of accuracy.The proposed method detects and classifies melanoma far better than other methods.Besides,our framework gained promising results in both segmentation and classification phases.

Finger Vein Authentication Based on Wavelet Scattering Networks

Biometric-based authentication systems have attracted more attention than traditional authentication techniques such as passwords in the last two decades.Multiple biometrics such as fingerprint,palm,iris,palm vein and finger vein and other biometrics have been introduced.One of the challenges in biometrics is physical injury.Biometric of finger vein is of the biometrics least exposed to physical damage.Numerous methods have been proposed for authentication with the help of this biometric that suffer from weaknesses such as high computational complexity and low identification rate.This paper presents a novel method of scattering wavelet-based identity identification.Scattering wavelet extracts image features from Gabor wavelet filters in a structure similar to convolutional neural networks.What distinguishes this algorithm from other popular feature extraction methods such as deep learning methods,filter-based methods,statistical methods,etc.,is that this algorithm has very high skill and accuracy in differentiating similar images but belongs to different classes,even when the image is subject to serious damage such as noise,angle changes or pixel location,this descriptor still generates feature vectors in away thatminimizes classifier error.This improves classification and authentication.The proposed method has been evaluated using two databases Finger Vein USM(FV-USM)and Homologous Multimodal biometrics Traits(SDUMLA-HMT).In addition to having reasonable computational complexity,it has recorded excellent identification rates in noise,rotation,and transmission challenges.At best,it has a 98.2%identification rate for the SDUMLA-HMT database and a 96.1%identification rate for the FV-USM database.

Image translation plays a significant role in realistic image synthesis,entertainment tasks such as editing and colorization,and security including personal identification.In Edge GAN,the major contribution is attribute guided vector that enables high visual quality content generation.This research study proposes automatic face image realism from freehand sketches based on Edge GAN.We propose a density variant image synthesis model,allowing the input sketch to encompass face features with minute details.The density level is projected into non-latent space,having a linear controlled function parameter.This assists the user to appropriately devise the variant densities of facial sketches and image synthesis.Composite data set of Large Scale CelebFaces Attributes(ClebA),Labelled Faces in theWild(LFWH),Chinese University of Hong Kong(CHUK),and self-generated Asian images are used to evaluate the proposed approach.The solution is validated to have the capability for generating realistic face images through quantitative and qualitative results and human evaluation.

A New Hybrid SARFIMA-ANN Model for Tourism Forecasting

Many countries developed and increased greenery in their country sights to attract international tourists.This planning is now significantly contributing to their economy.The next task is to facilitate the tourists by sufficient arrangements and providing a green and clean environment;it is only possible if an upcoming number of tourists’arrivals are accurately predicted.But accurate prediction is not easy as empirical evidence shows that the tourists’arrival data often contains linear,nonlinear,and seasonal patterns.The traditional model,like the seasonal autoregressive fractional integrated moving average(SARFIMA),handles seasonal trends with seasonality.In contrast,the artificial neural network(ANN)model deals better with nonlinear time series.To get a better forecasting result,this study combines the merits of the SARFIMA and the ANN models and the purpose of the hybrid SARFIMA-ANN model.Then,we have used the proposed model to predict the tourists’arrival inNew Zealand,Australia,and London.Empirical results showed that the proposed hybrid model outperforms in predicting tourists’arrival compared to the traditional SARFIMA and ANN models.Moreover,these results can be generalized to predict tourists’arrival in any country or region with a complicated data pattern.
