Detection of plant leaf disease has been considered an interesting research field which is helpful to improve the crop and fruit yield. Computer vision and machine learning based approaches have gained huge attraction in digital image processing field. Several visual computing based techniques have been presented in the past for early prediction of plant leaf diseases. However, detection accuracy is still considered as a challenging task. Hence, in order to overcome this issue, we introduce a novel hybrid approach carried out in three forms. During the first phase, image enhancement and image conversion scheme are incorporated, which helps to overcome the low-illumination and noise related issues. In the next phase, a combined feature extraction technique is developed by using GLCM, Complex Gabor filter, Curvelet and image moments. Finally, a Neuro-Fuzzy Logic classifier is trained with the extracted features. The proposed approach is implemented using MATLAB simulation tool where PlantVillage Database is considered for analysis. The average detection accuracy has been obtained as more than 90% for 2 test cases which shows that the proposed combination of feature extraction and image pre-processing process is able to obtain improved classification accuracy. This work is useful for the students of UG/PG programme to carry out Project-based learning.
A brain hemorrhage is one type of stroke, which is caused due to artery burst in the brain, killing the brain cells due to bleeding. Therefore, to reduce the criticality among the patients, for treatment, the doctors depend on accurate reports on the location of hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the best imaging modality when functional and structural abnormalities need to be found. To aid the identification of presence of abnormality, a novel NB-PKC algorithm for effective recognition of brain hemorrhages in MRI is proposed. A series of preprocessing is done, then the image undergoes binary thresholding process for applying an image mask on the hemorrhage region. Then for segmentation a modified multi-level segmenting algorithm is applied, using minimal local binary pattern and GLCM, combined features are extracted and finally for classification a novel Naïve Bayes- Probabilistic Kernel Classification is applied. These techniques designed could accurately identify the position and classified whether the image had an abnormality or not and could reduce human errors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
