HRNetO:Human Action Recognition Using Unified Deep Features Optimization Framework

Human action recognition(HAR)attempts to understand a subject’sbehavior and assign a label to each action performed.It is more appealingbecause it has a wide range of applications in computer vision,such asvideo surveillance and smart cities.Many attempts have been made in theliterature to develop an effective and robust framework for HAR.Still,theprocess remains difficult and may result in reduced accuracy due to severalchallenges,such as similarity among actions,extraction of essential features,and reduction of irrelevant features.In this work,we proposed an end-toendframework using deep learning and an improved tree seed optimizationalgorithm for accurate HAR.The proposed design consists of a fewsignificantsteps.In the first step,frame preprocessing is performed.In the second step,two pre-trained deep learning models are fine-tuned and trained throughdeep transfer learning using preprocessed video frames.In the next step,deeplearning features of both fine-tuned models are fused using a new ParallelStandard Deviation Padding Max Value approach.The fused features arefurther optimized using an improved tree seed algorithm,and select the bestfeatures are finally classified by using the machine learning classifiers.Theexperiment was carried out on five publicly available datasets,including UTInteraction,Weizmann,KTH,Hollywood,and IXAMS,and achieved higheraccuracy than previous techniques.

Brain Tumor Detection and Classification Using PSO and Convolutional Neural Network

Tumor detection has been an active research topic in recent years due to the high mortality rate.Computer vision(CV)and image processing techniques have recently become popular for detecting tumors inMRI images.The automated detection process is simpler and takes less time than manual processing.In addition,the difference in the expanding shape of brain tumor tissues complicates and complicates tumor detection for clinicians.We proposed a newframework for tumor detection aswell as tumor classification into relevant categories in this paper.For tumor segmentation,the proposed framework employs the Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)algorithm,and for classification,the convolutional neural network(CNN)algorithm.Popular preprocessing techniques such as noise removal,image sharpening,and skull stripping are used at the start of the segmentation process.Then,PSO-based segmentation is applied.In the classification step,two pre-trained CNN models,alexnet and inception-V3,are used and trained using transfer learning.Using a serial approach,features are extracted from both trained models and fused features for final classification.For classification,a variety of machine learning classifiers are used.Average dice values on datasets BRATS-2018 and BRATS-2017 are 98.11 percent and 98.25 percent,respectively,whereas average jaccard values are 96.30 percent and 96.57%(Segmentation Results).The results were extended on the same datasets for classification and achieved 99.0%accuracy,sensitivity of 0.99,specificity of 0.99,and precision of 0.99.Finally,the proposed method is compared to state-of-the-art existingmethods and outperforms them.
