COVID-19 epidemic has swiftly disrupted our day-to-day lives affecting the international trade and movements. Wearing a face mask to protect one's face has become the new normal. In the near future, many public service providers will expect the clients to wear masks appropriately to partake of their services. Therefore, face mask detection has become a critical duty to aid worldwide civilization. This paper provides a simple way to achieve this objective utilising some fundamental Machine Learning tools as TensorFlow, Keras, OpenCV and Scikit-Learn. The suggested technique successfully recognises the face in the image or video and then determines whether or not it has a mask on it. As a surveillance job performer, it can also recognise a face together with a mask in motion as well as in a video. The technique attains excellent accuracy. We investigate optimal parameter values for the Convolutional Neural Network model (CNN) in order to identify the existence of masks accurately without generating over-fitting.

Agriculture and plants, which are a component of a nation's internal economy, play an important role in boosting the economy of that country. It becomes critical to preserve plants from infection at an early stage in order to be able to treat them. Previously, recognition and classification were carried out by hand, but this was a time-consuming operation. Nowadays, deep learning algorithms are frequently employed for recognition and classification tasks. As a result, this manuscript investigates the diseases of sunflower leaves, specifically Alternaria leaf blight, Phoma blight, downy mildew, and Verticillium wilt, and proposes a hybrid model for the recognition and classification of sunflower diseases using deep learning techniques. VGG-16 and MobileNet are two transfer learning models that are used for classification purposes, and the stacking ensemble learning approach is used to merge them or create a hybrid model from the two models. This work makes use of a data set that was built by the author with the assistance of Google Images and comprises 329 images of sunflowers divided into five categories. On the basis of accuracy, a comparison is made between several existing deep learning models and the proposed model using the same data set as the original comparison.

Skin cancer is one of the most common diseases that can be initially detected by visual observation and further with the help of dermoscopic analysis and other tests. As at an initial stage, visual observation gives the opportunity of utilizing artificial intelligence to intercept the different skin images, so several skin lesion classification methods using deep learning based on convolution neural network (CNN) and annotated skin photos exhibit improved results. In this respect, the paper presents a reliable approach for diagnosing skin cancer utilizing dermoscopy images in order to improve health care professionals’ visual perception and diagnostic abilities to discriminate benign from malignant lesions. The swarm intelligence (SI) algorithms were used for skin lesion region of interest (RoI) segmentation from dermoscopy images, and the speeded-up robust features (SURF) was used for feature extraction of the RoI marked as the best segmentation result obtained using the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA). The skin lesions are classified into two groups using CNN against three data sets, namely, ISIC-2017, ISIC-2018, and PH-2 data sets. The proposed segmentation and classification techniques’ results are assessed in terms of classification accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F-measure, precision, MCC, dice coefficient, and Jaccard index, with an average classification accuracy of 98.42 percent, precision of 97.73 percent, and MCC of 0.9704 percent. In every performance measure, our suggested strategy exceeds previous work.

Farmers physical labor and debt are reduced as a result of agricultural automation, which emphasizes efficient and effective use of various machines in farming operations with the purpose of reducing physical labor and debt. It is a revolutionary idea in agriculture to create custom hiring centers, which are intended to make it easier for like-minded farmers to embrace technology/machinery for enhanced resource management practices. The study in question examines the significance of tool renting and sharing in the workplace. Rental and sharing equipment are two approaches that might be used to enable farmers to borrow equipment at a cheaper cost than they would otherwise have to pay for it. The following is a manual pilot study of 562 farmers in India to address the numerous challenges farmers face when looking for tools and equipment, as well as to determine their strong interest in the process of renting and sharing equipment. The study was conducted to address the numerous challenges farmers face when looking for tools and equipment and to determine their strong interest in the process of renting and sharing equipment. Farmers are divided into three groups according to the results of this poll: small, moderate, and large. Training and testing splits were used on the same data set in order to get a better understanding of the target variables. The data set for the survey was standardized in order to remove ambiguity. In this research, three different machine learning models were utilized: nearest neighbors, logistic regression, and decision trees. K-nearest neighbors was the most often used model, followed by logistic regression and decision trees. In order to get the best possible result, a comparison of the aforementioned algorithm models was carried out, which revealed that the decision tree is the better model among the others in this regard. Because the decision tree model is completely reliant on a large number of input factors, such as the kind of crop, the time/month of harvest, and the type of equipment necessary for the crops, it has the potential to have a social and economic impact on farmers and their livelihoods.

Recently, many companies have substituted human labor with robotics. Some farmers are sharing different perspectives on the incorporation of technology into farming techniques. Some are willing to accept the technology, some are hesitant and bemused to adapt modern technology, and others are uncertain and are worried about the potential of technology to cause havoc and decrease yields. The third group prevails the most in the developed world, for lack of know-how, including translation of utility and, most significantly, the expense involved. A special Smart Tillage platform is established to solve the above issues. A smart-engine-based decision has been developed, which further uses classification and regression trees to shift towards decision-making. The decision is focused entirely on different input factors, such as type of crop, time/month of harvest, type of plant required for the crop, type of harvest, and authorised rental budget. Sitting on top of this would be a recommendation engine that is powered by deep learning network to suggest the escalation of a farmer from lower to higher category, namely, small to medium to large. A metaheuristic is one of the best computing techniques that help for solving a problem without the exhaustive application of a procedure. Recommendations will be cost-effective and suitable for an escalating update depending on the use of sufficient amends, practices, and services. We carried out a study of 562 agriculturists. Owing to the failure to buy modern equipment, growers are flooded by debt. We question if customers will be able to rent and exchange appliances. The farmers would be able to use e-marketplace to develop their activities.

Kidney failure occurs whenever the kidney stops to operate properly and would be unable to cleanse or refine the bloodstream as it should. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a potentially fatal consequence. If this condition is diagnosed early, its progression can be delayed. There are various factors that increase the likelihood of developing kidney failure. As a consequence, in order to detect this potentially fatal condition early on, these risk factors must be checked on a regular basis before the individual’s health deteriorates. Furthermore, it lowers the cost of therapy. The chronic kidney or renal disease will be recognized in this work utilizing fuzzy and adaptive neural fuzzy inference systems. The fundamental purpose of this initiative is to enhance the precision of medical diagnostics used to diagnose illnesses. Nephron functioning, glucose levels, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, maturity level, weight and height, and smoking are all elements to consider while developing a fuzzy and adaptable neural fuzzy inference system. The output variable describes a specific patient’s stage of chronic renal disease based on input factors such as stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, stage 4, and stage 5. The outcome will show the present stage of a patient’s kidney. As a result, these methods can assist specialists in determining the stage of chronic renal disease. MATLAB software is used to create the fuzzy and neural fuzzy inference systems.
