One of the most frequent cancers in women is breast cancer, and in the year 2022, approximately 287,850 new cases have been diagnosed. From them, 43,250 women died from this cancer. An early diagnosis of this cancer can help to overcome the mortality rate. However, the manual diagnosis of this cancer using mammogram images is not an easy process and always requires an expert person. Several AI-based techniques have been suggested in the literature. However, still, they are facing several challenges, such as similarities between cancer and non-cancer regions, irrelevant feature extraction, and weak training models. In this work, we proposed a new automated computerized framework for breast cancer classification. The proposed framework improves the contrast using a novel enhancement technique called haze-reduced local-global. The enhanced images are later employed for the dataset augmentation. This step aimed at increasing the diversity of the dataset and improving the training capability of the selected deep learning model. After that, a pre-trained model named EfficientNet-b0 was employed and fine-tuned to add a few new layers. The fine-tuned model was trained separately on original and enhanced images using deep transfer learning concepts with static hyperparameters’ initialization. Deep features were extracted from the average pooling layer in the next step and fused using a new serial-based approach. The fused features were later optimized using a feature selection algorithm known as Equilibrium-Jaya controlled Regula Falsi. The Regula Falsi was employed as a termination function in this algorithm. The selected features were finally classified using several machine learning classifiers. The experimental process was conducted on two publicly available datasets—CBIS-DDSM and INbreast. For these datasets, the achieved average accuracy is 95.4% and 99.7%. A comparison with state-of-the-art (SOTA) technology shows that the obtained proposed framework improved the accuracy. Moreover, the confidence interval-based analysis shows consistent results of the proposed framework.

One of the main problems with WSNs is that most sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are motorized by energy-constrained, which significantly affects the system’s effectiveness, dependability, and lifespan. Numerous clustering strategies have been created to enhance the energy efficiency of WSNs in 5G and 6G transmission. To overcome these issues, we suggest a collaborative energy-efficient routing protocol (CEEPR) for sustainable communication in 5G/6G wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Initially, this study gathered and collected the data at the sink node. The network’s nodes are clustered using the reinforcement learning technique (R.L.). Cluster head selection is employed for better data transmission using residual energy (RE) based cluster head selection algorithm. A collaborative energy-efficient routing protocol (CEERP) is proposed. We use a multi-objective improved seagull algorithm (MOISA) as an optimization technique to enhance the system’s performance. Finally, the presentation of the system is analyzed. Compare with the existing methods, the primary metrics are throughput, energy consumption, network lifetime, packet transmission, routing overhead, and transmission speed. The proposed approach uses 50% less energy while improving network lifespan and energy efficiency compared to the current protocols.
Gesture recognition in dynamic images is challenging in computer vision, automation and medical field. Hand gesture tracking and recognition between both human and computer must have symmetry in real world. With advances in sensor technology, numerous researchers have recently proposed RGB gesture recognition techniques. In our research paper, we introduce a reliable hand gesture tracking and recognition model that is accurate despite any complex environment, it can track and recognise RGB dynamic gestures. Firstly, videos are converted into frames. After images light intensity adjustment and noise removal, images are passed through CNN for hand gesture extraction. Then from the extracted hand, features are extracted from full hand. Neural gas and locomotion thermal mapping are extracted to make the feature vector. The feature vector are then passed through the fuzzy optimiser to reduce the uncertainties and the fuzziness. The optimised features are then passed to the classifier Deep Belief Network (DBW) for the classification of the gestures. Egogesture and Jester datasets are used for the validation of proposed systems. The experimental results over Egogesture and Jester datasets demonstrate overall accuracies of 90.73% and 89.33% respectively. The experiments proves our system readability and suitability of our proposed model with the other state of the arts model.
Ubiquitous computing has been a green research area that has managed to attract and sustain the attention of researchers for some time now. As ubiquitous computing applications, human activity recognition and localization have also been popularly worked on. These applications are used in healthcare monitoring, behavior analysis, personal safety, and entertainment. A robust model has been proposed in this article that works over IoT data extracted from smartphone and smartwatch sensors to recognize the activities performed by the user and, in the meantime, classify the location at which the human performed that particular activity. The system starts by denoising the input signal using a second-order Butterworth filter and then uses a hamming window to divide the signal into small data chunks. Multiple stacked windows are generated using three windows per stack, which, in turn, prove helpful in producing more reliable features. The stacked data are then transferred to two parallel feature extraction blocks, i.e., human activity recognition and human localization. The respective features are extracted for both modules that reinforce the system’s accuracy. A recursive feature elimination is applied to the features of both categories independently to select the most informative ones among them. After the feature selection, a genetic algorithm is used to generate ten different generations of each feature vector for data augmentation purposes, which directly impacts the system’s performance. Finally, a deep neural decision forest is trained for classifying the activity and the subject’s location while working on both of these attributes in parallel. For the evaluation and testing of the proposed system, two openly accessible benchmark datasets, the ExtraSensory dataset and the Sussex-Huawei Locomotion dataset, were used. The system outperformed the available state-of-the-art systems by recognizing human activities with an accuracy of 88.25% and classifying the location with an accuracy of 90.63% over the ExtraSensory dataset, while, for the Sussex-Huawei Locomotion dataset, the respective results were 96.00% and 90.50% accurate.
With technological advancements, smart health monitoring systems are gaining growing importance and popularity. Today, business trends are changing from physical infrastructure to online services.
