This paper proposes an intellectual classification system to classify normal and abnormal CT scan lung images. Prediction of cancer cells from lung image is such a difficult task for physicians and researchers. A novel technique for lung tumour detection with Grey Wolf Optimized & Whale Optimization Algorithm - Support Vector Machine (GWO & WOA-SVM) is proposed. CT scan images are used as input images. Investigations focused on the segmentation and classification part to find the lung lesion region. For finding the lung abnormality and lesion region in the lung, four different stages are used. The first stage is the image acquisition process. The second stage is the image pre-processing and enhancement stage, here Advanced Clustering (AC) technique is used. The next stage is the segmentation process, here the advanced surface normal overlap (ASNO) lung segmentation algorithm is used. Finally, the lung lesion is classified using the hybrid classifier followed by a different optimization technique. The research gap for this paper is to find the lung lesion using an optimization-based hybrid classification technique. Nowadays, classification decision and treatment of lung tumours are based on symptoms and radiological appearance. Here Hybrid Classifier (KNN-SVM) is used to classify 700 images;it is observed from the results that the Hybrid classifier KNN-SVM demonstrated the highest classification accuracy rate of 97.6% among other methods.

Acute ischemic stroke is a common threat to human health and may obtain timely treatment by fast localizing and quantitatively evaluating the lesions. Most CNN-based methods try to segment and measure the lesions, however, they require a training on a large number of labeled subjects that are labor-intensive and time-consuming to obtain. In this paper, a method is proposed that can combine limited labeled subjects with abundant unlabeled subjects to alleviate the problem. The proposed method consists of two stages: stepwise learning process and segmentation process. Stepwise learning is used to obtain the pretrained encoder. The pretrained encoder and the proposed decoder are connected into a new end-to-end segmentation network, which is retrained on the labeled subjects in the segmentation process. By using 5 labeled subjects and 79 unlabeled subjects, the proposed method achieves a mean dice coefficient of 0.663 +/-$\,{\pm}\,$0.205, a mean average symmetric surface distance (ASSD) of 2.17 mm and a mean 95 percentile Hausdorff distance (HD) of 18.38 mm on a clinical MR dataset with 179 subjects. More importantly, it achieves lesion-wise F-1 score of 0.857 and a subject-wise detection rate of 0.966.

Image segmentation algorithms often depend on appearance models that characterize the distribution of pixel values in different image regions. We describe a new approach for estimating appearance models directly from an image, without explicit consideration of the pixels that make up each region. Our approach is based on novel algebraic expressions that relate local image statistics to the appearance of spatially coherent regions. We describe two algorithms that can use the aforementioned algebraic expressions to estimate appearance models directly from an image. The first algorithm solves a system of linear and quadratic equations using a least squares formulation. The second algorithm is a spectral method based on an eigenvector computation. We present experimental results that demonstrate the proposed methods work well in practice and lead to effective image segmentation algorithms.

Automatic detection of maculopathy disease is a very important step to achieve high-accuracy results for the early discovery of the disease to help ophthalmologists to treat patients. Manual detection of diabetic maculopathy needs much effort and time from ophthalmologists. Detection of exudates from retinal images is applied for the maculopathy disease diagnosis. The first proposed framework in this paper for retinal image classification begins with fuzzy preprocessing in order to improve the original image to enhance the contrast between the objects and the background. After that, image segmentation is performed through binarization of the image to extract both blood vessels and the optic disc and then remove them from the original image. A gradient process is performed on the retinal image after this removal process for discrimination between normal and abnormal cases. Histogram of gradients is estimated, and consequently the cumulative histogram of gradients is obtained and compared with a threshold cumulative histogram at certain bins. To determine the threshold cumulative histogram, cumulative histograms of images with exudates and images without exudates are obtained and averaged for each type, and the threshold cumulative histogram is set as the average of both cumulative histograms. Certain histogram bins are selected and thresholded according to the estimated threshold cumulative histogram, and the results are used for retinal image classification. In the second framework in this paper, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is utilized to classify normal and abnormal cases.

Steel strip granulation is a promising technology for preparing large urea granules;however, easy blocking of the feeding nozzle by urea melt limits its industrial applications. In this study, a dust-free and anticlogging urea granulation process for the mass production of large urea granules is proposed by introducing a urea melt marble (UMM) formed by covering urea melt with super-urea-phobic poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) particles to improve steel strip granulation. Large urea granules are obtained by directly cutting a large-sized cake-shaped mother-UMM into segments. These segments shrink into spherical baby-UMMs and solidify after condensation to form rigid particles. The results confirm that the PTFE powder distribution density for constructing a stable mother-UMM by the segmentation process is crucial. The PTFE powder distribution density for obtaining usable baby-UMMs and subsequent qualified large urea granules should be within 0.0009-0.0011 g/cm(2). Super-urea-phobic honeycomb-shaped cutters are used for the batch preparation of qualified urea products with adequate quality distribution. This study provides a promising strategy for improving the production of urea granules.

Efficient and reliable identification and classification of brain tumors from imaging data is essential in the diagnosis and treatment of brain cancer cells. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most commonly used imaging modality in the analysis of infected brain tissue. However, manual segmentation requires significant time to process data produced by magnetic resonance imaging. In this study, we present two fast and proficient brain tumor identification techniques based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) using magnetic resonance imaging data for the effective detection and classification of different types of brain tumors. We use two publicly available datasets from Figshare and BraTS 2018, and apply conditional random fields to eliminate forged outputs, considering spatial information on fine segmentation tasks. The first proposed architecture, based on the Figshare dataset, classifies brain tumors as gliomas, meningiomas, or pituitary tumors. The second architecture differentiates between high- and low-grade gliomas (HGG and LGG, respectively). An intensity normalization method is also investigated as a pre-processing step, which proves highly effective at detection and classification of brain tumors in combination with data augmentation techniques. The Figshare and BraTS 2018 datasets included 3062 and 251 images, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate an accuracy of 97.3% and a dice similarity coefficient (DSC) 95.8% on the task of classifying brain tumor as gliomas, meningiomas, or pituitary tumors achieved by the first proposed CNN architecture, while second proposed CNN architecture achieved an accuracy of 96.5% with a DSC of 94.3% on the task of classifying glioma grades as HGG or LGG. Experimental results reveal that our proposed model attained improved performance and increased classification accuracy compared to state-of-the-art methods.

This paper introduces a new HEp-2 cell classification model under two phases. In the initial phase, the input image is segmented using the morphological operations (opening and closing), and the segmented image is given for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifier that gives the classified output. In the second phase, the given input is processed under (i) segmentation process (ii) Feature Extraction, and (iii) Classification. From the segmented images;the features like Gray level co-occurrence Matrix TGLCM) and Gray level Run Length Matrix (GLRM) are extracted. After extracting the features, they are subjected to a classification process, where Neural Network (NN) is used. Finally, the mean of both classified output (first phase and second phase) is considered to be the final classified output. As the main contribution, to enhance the classification accuracy, the hidden neurons of both classifiers (CNN and NN) are optimally chosen during the classification process. To make this possible, this paper aims to propose a new Randomized Update based Grey Wolf Optimization (RP-GWO) algorithm. Finally, the performance of the implemented approach is compared over other conventional approaches and its superiority is proven with respect to certain measures.

In this study, a survey of multiple sclerosis (MS) classification and segmentation process is presented, which is based on magnetic resonance imaging. Knowledge of MS lesions is gained by determining the number of sample lesions in order that the lesion development level can be followed precisely;therefore, the effects of pharmaceuticals in medical tests can be accurately assessed. Accurate recognition of MS lesions in magnetic resonance images is an additionally complex process because of their changing shapes and sizes which can be very difficult to identify based on anatomical positions in various subjects. This can be determined by precise segmentation;manual segmentation would be very difficult to perform as it requires high level knowledge which takes additional time. Inter- and intra-expert variability need to be determined in order to perform the automated segmentation of lesions. The principal aim of this survey effort is to provide an analysis of the different categorization and segmentation methods and their techniques. This survey work will be valuable for researchers working in MS by considering and carefully evaluating the past work. The benefits and drawbacks of existing techniques are reviewed and the issue of MS lesion segmentation and classification is elucidated.

The authors present a model where object segmentation and recognition are connected with a bottom-up inference and a top-down generation pathway so that the two models can communicate and cooperate with each other. They are integrated into an energy function and optimised at the same time. To achieve the cooperation, objects are modelled in two aspects: shape and appearance, so that the recognition result could feedback to the segmentation process. Restricted Boltzmann machine is employed to learn the shapes of the objects with corresponding labels and perform object recognition based on the object shapes. Another pathway involved with the appearance knowledge of the objects is also established so that both the shape and appearance information will guide and constrain the evolution of the segmentation developing towards the region of interest, which will further facilitate the performances of both tasks. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Analysis of the chromosome images plays an important role in discovering one's genetic information and possible genetic disorders. segmentation has a very substantial place in the chromosome analysis and without an automatic solution, it is a time-consuming and error-prone procedure. Many researchers tried to automate the segmentation process. However, background noise, objects other than chromosomes in the image, touching and overlapped chromosomes are still current issues. To address these issues, the authors proposed fully-automatic raw G-band chromosome image segmentation, which aims to segment every single chromosome with a minimal error. The proposed algorithm contains the following steps: clearing the background noise, eliminating the objects other than chromosomes, distinguishing single chromosomes and chromosome clusters, separating touching and overlapping chromosomes. The proposed algorithm is tested on 508 raw images and achieved an accuracy of 94.7% for touching chromosome separation, 96.3% for overlapped chromosome separation, and 98.94% for segmentation of all chromosomes. The whole segmentation process takes 2-7 s for one image, depending on the number of touching and overlapping chromosomes. The segmentation results showed that compared to the previously proposed methods, their algorithm achieved better accuracy.
