文摘In thefield of diagnosis of medical images the challenge lies in tracking and identifying the defective cells and the extent of the defective region within the complex structure of a brain cavity.Locating the defective cells precisely during the diagnosis phase helps tofight the greatest exterminator of mankind.Early detec-tion of these defective cells requires an accurate computer-aided diagnostic system(CAD)that supports early treatment and promotes survival rates of patients.An ear-lier version of CAD systems relies greatly on the expertise of radiologist and it con-sumed more time to identify the defective region.The manuscript takes the efficacy of coalescing features like intensity,shape,and texture of the magnetic resonance image(MRI).In the Enhanced Feature Fusion Segmentation based classification method(EEFS)the image is enhanced and segmented to extract the prominent fea-tures.To bring out the desired effect the EEFS method uses Enhanced Local Binary Pattern(EnLBP),Partisan Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix Histogram of Oriented Gradients(PGLCMHOG),and iGrab cut method to segment image.These prominent features along with deep features are coalesced to provide a single-dimensional fea-ture vector that is effectively used for prediction.The coalesced vector is used with the existing classifiers to compare the results of these classifiers with that of the gen-erated vector.The generated vector provides promising results with commendably less computatio nal time for pre-processing and classification of MR medical images.
文摘Recently,automatic diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy(DR)from the retinal image is the most significant ressearch topic in the medical applications.Diabetic macular edema(DME)is the.major reason for the loss of vision in patients suffering fom DR.Early identification of the DR enables to prevent the vision loss and encourage diabetic control activities.Many techniques are.developed to diagnose the DR.The major drawbacks of the existing techniques are low accuracy and high time complexity.To owercome these issues,this paper propases an enhanced particle swarm optimization differential evolution feature selection(PSO DEFS)based feature selection approach with biometric aut hentication for the identification of DR.Initially,a hybrid median filter(HMF)is used for pre processing the input images.Then,the pre-processed images are embedded with each other by using least significant bit(LSB)for authentication purpose.Si-multaneously,the image features are extracted using convoluted local tetra pattern(CLTrP)and Tamura features.Feature selection is performed using PSO DEFS and PSO-gravitational search algorithm(PSO GSA)to reduce time complexity.Based on some performance metrics,the PSO-DEFS is chosen as a better choice for feature selection.The feature selection is performed based on the fitness value.A multi-relevance vector machine(M-RVM)is introduced to dlassify the 13 normal and 62 abnormal images among 75 images from 60 patients.Finally,the DR patients are further dassified by M-RVM.The experimental results exhibit that the proposed approach achieves better accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity than the exist ing techniques.
文摘针对视觉结构类似导致的文种相似性问题,基于局部三值模式的相邻共生矩阵(co-occurrence of adjacent local ternary patterns,CoALTP)提出一种具有判别性和鲁棒性的局部三值模式的相邻共生矩阵(discriminant and robust co-occurrence of adjacent local ternary patterns,DRCoALTP)方法,用于获取图像纹理。计算文档图像的相邻稀疏局部三值模式(adjacent sparse local ternary patterns,ASLTP),将采样点数量设定为8,以便获得详细的局部纹理,设计出一种基于自适应中值滤波思想的半自适应阈值方法,用于提取灰度图像中心像素周边对角邻域像素的编码值。ASLTP在邻域像素位置存放稀疏局部三值模式(local ternary patterns,LTP)的值,提取灰度共生矩阵(gray-level co-occurrence matrix,GLCM),从4个方向统计使用ASLTP后灰度图像像素之间的频率关系。该算法在阿拉伯文、俄文、简体中文、哈萨克文、藏文、蒙古文、土耳其文、维吾尔文、英文、吉尔吉斯斯坦文和塔吉克斯坦文11个文种的自建印刷体文档图像数据集中验证。试验结果表明,相较于基线和先进的纹理方法,改进后的方法更具判别性,平均识别准确率为99.14%。为改善CoALTP方法可能产生低效分类特征的问题,提出半自适应阈值方法,有效提高识别率并抑制噪声。此外,针对算法产生的高维特征,采用基于均方差的特征选择方法,通过支持向量机(support vector machine,SVM)分类器特征选择后,识别速度提高284%,对11个文种的平均识别准确率达99.44%。
