Knee osteoarthritis is a significant cause of physical inactivity and disability. Early detection and treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) degeneration can decrease its course. Physicians' scores may differ significantly amongst interpreters and are greatly influenced by personal experience based solely on visual assessment. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) in conjunction with the Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) grading system are used to assess the severity of OA in the knee. Recent research applied for knee osteoarthritis using machine learning and deep learning results are not encouraging. One of the major reasons for this was that the images taken are not pre-processed in the correct way. Hence, feature extraction using deep learning was not great, thus impacting the overall performance of the model. Image sharpening, a type of image filtering, was required to improve image clarity due to noise in knee X-ray images. The assessment used baseline X-ray images from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI). On enhanced images acquired utilizing the image sharpening process, we achieved a mean accuracy of 91.03%, an improvement of 19.03% over the earlier accuracy of 72% by using the original knee x-ray images for the detection of OA with five gradings. The image sharpening method is used to advance knee joint recognition and knee KL grading.
Power-electronic systems with voltage boosts use buck-boost converters. These converters suppress current and invert voltage to improve voltage swing. Power-electronic systems with voltage boosts use buck-boost converters that suppress current and invert voltage to improve voltage swings. Researchers propose many converter models, but their total harmonic distortion (THD) limits their scalability. Harmonics from additional current components increase THD. The model filters excessive currents using inductor-based storage, capacitive filters, and resistive circuits. However, these models are unstable, reducing their performance in large converter circuits. This text proposes a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) with a hybrid bioinspired model based on genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) to overcome this limitation. Estimating internal buck and boost parameters efficiently reduces reverse currents. These parameters include inductor current ripple, recommended inductance, internal switch current limit, and switching frequency. The model finds low-power, high-efficiency buck-boost configurations based on these values. Incremental learning operations tuned the GA model, which was applied to many buck-boost configurations. The proposed model had a 5.9% lower delay, 16.2% lower harmonics, and 4.6% better power efficiency than state-of-the-art buck-boost models.
Parallel buck-boost converters are high-output DC-to-DC converters. It is increased by inverting the voltage and decreasing the circuit current capacity. The duty cycle of switching transistors governs converter voltage. Output current moderates THD in these converters. Additional current losses cause output voltage and current harmonics. Inductors, capacitors, MOSFETs, and other power control filtering models reduce excessive current and THD. Complex models lose scalability and stability. Real-time buck-boost controllers can't use them. Filtered adaptive power controller blocks reduce buck-boost converter response time and inject improper frequency components at the output. A reverse power routing model with an adaptive power controller is proposed to estimate excessive output power and improve converter performance. Reverse power control lowers THD by 20% and increases power throughput. When output power drops, the adaptive power controller (APC) changes ON/OFF duty cycles. The proposed model reduced THD and maintained high output voltage and current in both continuous and discontinuous modes. Context-aware circuit design measured output ripples, harmonics, smoothness factor, and power loss. The proposed parallel buck-boost converter had 10% lower jitters, 23% better harmonic outputs, 15% better smoothness, and 5% lower total power loss than others. The model handles high-density electrical loads with maximum power throughput.
