The perception of animal emotions is key to enhancing veterinary practice, human–animal interactions, and protecting domesticated species’ welfare. This study presents a unique emotion classification deep learning-based approach for pet animals. The actual and emotional status of dogs and cats have been classified using a modified EfficientNetB5 model. Utilizing a dataset of images classified into four different emotion categories—angry, sad, happy, and neutral—the model incorporates sophisticated feature extraction methods, such as Dense Residual Blocks and Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) blocks, to improve the focus on important emotional indicators. The basis of the second strategy is EfficientNetB5, which is known for providing an optimal balance in terms of accuracy and processing capabilities. The model exhibited robust generalization abilities for the subtle identification of emotional states, achieving 98.2% accuracy in training and 91.24% during validation on a separate dataset. These encouraging outcomes support the model’s promise for real-time emotion detection applications and demonstrate its adaptability for wider application in ongoing pet monitoring systems. The dataset will be enlarged, model performance will be enhanced for more species, and real-time capabilities will be developed for real-world implementation.

Background: Nuclei segmentation is the first stage of automated microscopic image analysis. The cell nucleus is a crucial aspect in segmenting to gain more insight into cell characteristics and functions that enable computer-aided pathology for early disease detection, such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, brain tumors, and other diagnoses. Nucleus segmentation remains a challenging task despite significant advancements in automated methods. Traditional techniques, such as Otsu thresholding and watershed approaches, are ineffective in challenging scenarios. However, deep learning-based methods exhibit remarkable results across various biological imaging modalities, including computational pathology. Methods: This work explores machine learning approaches for nuclei segmentation by evaluating the quality of nuclei image segmentation. We employed several methods, including K-means clustering, Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM) with handcrafted features, and Logistic Regression (LR) using features derived from Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Handcrafted features extract attributes like the shape, texture, and intensity of nuclei and are meticulously developed based on specialized knowledge. Conversely, CNN-based features are automatically acquired representations that identify complex patterns in nuclei images. To assess how effectively these techniques segment cell nuclei, their performance is evaluated. Results: Experimental results show that Logistic Regression based on CNN-derived features outperforms the other techniques, achieving an accuracy of 96.90%, a Dice coefficient of 74.24, and a Jaccard coefficient of 55.61. In contrast, the Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and K-means algorithms yielded lower segmentation performance metrics. Conclusions: The conclusions suggest that leveraging CNN-based features in conjunction with Logistic Regression significantly enhances the accuracy of cell nuclei segmentation in pathological images. This approach holds promise for refining computer-aided pathology workflows, potentially leading to more reliable and earlier disease diagnoses.

The health, safety, and well-being of household pets such as cats has become a challenging task in previous years. To estimate a cat’s behavior, objective observations of both the frequency and variability of specific behavior traits are required, which might be difficult to come by in a cat’s ordinary life. There is very little research on cat activity and cat disease analysis based on real-time data. Although previous studies have made progress, several key questions still need addressing: What types of data are best suited for accurately detecting activity patterns? Where should sensors be strategically placed to ensure precise data collection, and how can the system be effectively automated for seamless operation? This study addresses these questions by pointing out whether the cat should be equipped with a sensor, and how the activity detection system can be automated. Magnetic, motion, vision, audio, and location sensors are among the sensors used in the machine learning experiment. In this study, we collect data using three types of differentiable and realistic wearable sensors, namely, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer. Therefore, this study aims to employ cat activity detection techniques to combine data from acceleration, motion, and magnetic sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers, respectively, to recognize routine cat activity. Data collecting, data processing, data fusion, and artificial intelligence approaches are all part of the system established in this study. We focus on One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks (1D-CNNs) in our research, to recognize cat activity modeling for detection and classification. Such 1D-CNNs have recently emerged as a cutting-edge approach for signal processing-based systems such as sensor-based pet and human health monitoring systems, anomaly identification in manufacturing, and in other areas. Our study culminates in the development of an automated system for robust pet (cat) activity analysis using artificial intelligence techniques, featuring a 1D-CNN-based approach. In this experimental research, the 1D-CNN approach is evaluated using training and validation sets. The approach achieved a satisfactory accuracy of 98.9% while detecting the activity useful for cat well-being.
