In the USA, each year, almost 5.4 million people are diagnosed with skin cancer. Melanoma is one of the most dangerous types of skin cancer, and its survival rate is 5%. The development of skin cancer has risen over the last couple of years. Early identification of skin cancer can help reduce the human mortality rate. Dermoscopy is a technology used for the acquisition of skin images. However, the manual inspection process consumes more time and required much cost. The recent development in the area of deep learning showed significant performance for classification tasks. In this research work, a new automated framework is proposed for multiclass skin lesion classification. The proposed framework consists of a series of steps. In the first step, augmentation is performed. For the augmentation process, three operations are performed: rotate 90, right‐left flip, and up and down flip. In the second step, deep models are fine‐tuned. Two models are opted, such as ResNet‐50 and ResNet‐101, and updated their layers. In the third step, transfer learning is applied to train both fine‐tuned deep models on augmented datasets. In the succeeding stage, features are extracted and performed fusion using a modified serial‐based approach. Finally, the fused vector is further enhanced by selecting the best features using the skewness‐controlled SVR approach. The final selected features are classified using several machine learning algorithms and selected based on the accuracy value. In the experimental process, the augmented HAM10000 dataset is used and achieved an accuracy of 91.7%. Moreover, the performance of the augmented dataset is better as compared to the original imbalanced dataset. In addition, the proposed method is compared with some recent studies and shows improved performance.
The study’s primary objectives encompass the following: (i) To implement the object detection of ovarian follicles using you only look once (YOLO)v8 and subsequently segment the identified follicles using a hybrid fuzzy c-means-based active contour technique. (ii) To extract statistical features and evaluate the effectiveness of both machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) classifiers in detecting polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The research involved a two different dataset in which dataset1 comprising both normal (N = 50) and PCOS (N = 50) subjects, dataset 2 consists of 100 normal and 100 PCOS affected subjects for classification. The YOLOv8 method was employed for follicle detection, whereas statistical features were derived using Gray-level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM). For PCOS classification, various ML models such as Random Forest (RF), k- star, and stochastic gradient descent (SGD) were employed. Additionally, pre-trained models such as MobileNet, ResNet152V2, and DenseNet121 and Vision transformer were applied for the categorization of PCOS and healthy controls. Furthermore, a custom model named Follicles Net (F-Net) was developed to enhance the performance and accuracy in PCOS classification. Remarkably, the F-Net model outperformed among all ML and DL classifiers, achieving an impressive classification accuracy of 95% for dataset1 and 97.5% for dataset2 respectively in detecting PCOS. Consequently, the custom F-Net model holds significant potential as an effective automated diagnostic tool for distinguishing between normal and PCOS.
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vasoproliferative retinal disease that affects premature infants and causes permanent blindness if left untreated. Automated retinal diagnosis from the Retinal fundus images aid in the early detection of many pathological conditions. The low-level statistical features used in literatures have not provided the complete ROP-specific profile, and hence it, has to be replaced by high-level features. The proposed system involves extracting Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) - Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) combined high-level features from the SegNet segmented retinal vessels and classified using the Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) classifier. This study aims (i) to segment retinal vessels from the acquired fundus images using SegNet and extract their features using the SURF and SIFT Feature Extraction method, (ii) to classify the Normal and ROP retinal vessels using four classical machine learning classifiers such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Reduced Error Pruning (REP) tree, K-Star, and LogitBoost and Quantum SVM classifier. (iii) to develop a novel transformer-based Swin-T ROP model to classify ROP from normal Neonatal fundus images. (iv) to compare the performance characteristics of the proposed QSVM model with the Resnet50, DarkNet19 and classical machine learning classifiers. The study is conducted using 200 fundus images, including 100 normal and 100 ROP-positive neonatal retinal images. The machine learning classifiers such as SVM, REP Tree, K-Star, and Logit Boost Classifiers attain 86.7%, 75%, 74%, and 76.5% accuracy in classifying ROP from normal retinal images. The deep learning networks such as ResNet50 and DarkNet19 classified ROP from normal fundus images with an accuracy of 92.87% and 89%, respectively. The Quantum machine learning classifier outperforms the classical machine learning classifiers, Pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and SwinT-ROP in terms of classification accuracy (95.5%), sensitivity (93%), and specificity (98%). The proposed system accurately diagnoses ROP from the neonatal fundus images and could be used in point-of-care diagnosis to access diagnostic expertise in underserved regions.

Glaucoma is a major threatening cause, in which it affects the optical nerve to lead to a permanent blindness to individuals. The major causes of Glaucoma are high pressure to eyes, family history, irregular sleeping habits, and so on. These kinds of causes lead to Glaucoma easily, and the effect of such disease leads to heavy damage to the internal optic nervous system and the affected person will get permanent blindness within few months. The major problem with this disease is that it is incurable; however, the affection stages can be reduced and the same level of effect as that for the long period can be maintained but this is possible only in the earlier stages of identification. This Glaucoma causes structural effect to the eye ball and it is complex to estimate the cause during regular diagnosis. In medical terms, the Cup to Disc Ratio (CDR) is minimized to the Glaucoma patients suddenly and leads to harmful damage to one’s eye in severe manner. The general way to identify the Glaucoma is to take Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) test, in which it captures the uncovered portion of eye ball (backside) and it is an efficient way to visualize diverse portions of eyes with optical nerve visibility shown clearly. The OCT images are mainly used to identify the diseases like Glaucoma with proper and robust accuracy levels. In this work, a new methodology is introduced to identify the Glaucoma in earlier stages, called Depth Optimized Machine Learning Strategy (DOMLS), in which it adapts the new optimization logic called Modified K-Means Optimization Logic (MkMOL) to provide best accuracy in results, and the proposed approach assures the accuracy level of more than 96.2% with least error rate of 0.002%. This paper focuses on the identification of early stage of Glaucoma and provides an efficient solution to people in case of effect by such disease using OCT images. The exact position pointed out is handled by using Region of Interest- (ROI-) based optical region selection, in which it is easy to point the optical cup (OC) and optical disc (OD). The proposed algorithm of DOMLS proves the accuracy levels in estimation of Glaucoma and the practical proofs are shown in the Result and Discussions section in a clear manner.
Touch screen interaction system is highly demanding for new innovations such as visual sensing, virtual key board system on the screen, three dimensional gesture communications methods, and RFID sensing etc. In spite of the existence of these types of interaction methods, visually impaired people struggle to have easy access to touch screens. The main goal of the research is to overcome the navigation problems that blind people face while interacting with touch screens. In this examination we centered to build up a Braille sketch; a motion put together information technique with respect to contact screens of advanced mobile phones for outwardly debilitated individuals. Utilizing Braille codes to perform motions on contact screen makes the outwardly tested people agreeable in light of the fact that “Braille is the reason for correspondence”. The streamlining procedure is the demonstration of amplifying or limiting a genuine function by systematic choosing input parameters from an accessible pool of parameters and to figure the estimation of function. Here, we accept variables as hand finger motion facilitate, for example, the coordinate values on x and y axises, swipe limit speed, swipe least separation, pixel rate and speed of X and Y. To build the execution of the system structure, we improve by differing shrouded layer and neuron using Crow Search Algorithm (CSO). The ANN with CSA achieves the Optimal Hidden Layer and Neuron (OHLN) to anticipate the right motion yields. These strategies present an answer that will consequently perceive the hand signals so impeded individual can without much of a stretch speak with ordinary individuals. The proposed model will give high precision with ideal execution measurements contrasted with other existing created demonstrate.
