Improvement of Hybrid Image Enhancement for Detection and Classification of Malaria Disease Types and Stages with Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Malaria is an infectious disease throughout the world where the disease is transmitted by infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Malaria has some symptoms that are almost like COVID-19. Malaria has several other symptoms, characterized by chills, anemia, cold sweats, nausea and vomiting, and a sudden drop in blood pressure. Identification of the type of malaria begins with preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification for identification. Image improvement is part of the preprocessing stage to improve image quality so that the malaria parasite object in the image can be seen clearly. This study tries to improve the algorithm with hybrid dark and contrast stretching. Performance evaluation of malaria parasite image improvement using Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR). The results obtained with the improvement of dark hybrids and contrast stretching can improve the image quality of malaria parasite objects with MSE value = 0.0095 and PSNR value = 22.8404, compared with dark stretching, contrast stretching, histogram equalization.

Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization for Recognizing Road Marking at Night Based on Yolo Models

“…The goal of contrast stretching is to improve an image's brightness and contrast to appear clearer and more vibrant. Further, CS known as normalization, is a simple image enhancement technique that tries to increase the dynamic range of gray intensity by using piecewise linear transformation to stretch the gray levels, sacrificing the gray levels from 0 to r1 and from r2 to L-1 [21] [22].…”
