The segmentation of the liver is a difficult process due to the changes in shape, border, and density that occur in each section in computed tomography (CT) images. In this study, the Adding Inception Module-Unet (AIM-Unet) model, which is a hybridization of convolutional neural networks-based Unet and Inception models, is proposed for computer-assisted automatic segmentation of the liver and liver tumors from CT scans of the abdomen. Experimental studies were carried out on four different liver CT image datasets, one of which was prepared for this study and three of which were open (CHAOS, LIST, and 3DIRCADb). The results obtained using the proposed method and the segmentation results marked by the specialist were compared with the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), Jaccard similarity coefficient (JSC), and accuracy (ACC) measurement parameters. In this study, we obtained the best DSC, JSC, and ACC liver segmentation performance metrics on the CHAOS dataset as 97.86%, 96.10%, and 99.75%, respectively, of the AIM-Unet model we propose, which is trained separately on three datasets (LiST, CHAOS, and our dataset) containing liver images. Additionally, 75.6% and 65.5% of the DSC tumor segmentation metrics were calculated on the proposed model LiST and 3DIRCADb datasets, respectively. In addition, the segmentation success results on the datasets with the AIM-Unet model were compared with the previous studies. With these results, it has been seen that the method proposed in this study can be used as an auxiliary tool in the decision-making processes of physicians for liver segmentation and detection of liver tumors. This study is useful for medical images, and the developed model can be easily developed for applications in different organs and other medical fields.

Glaucoma according to the W.H.O is one of the major causes of blindness worldwide. Due to its complexity and silent nature early detection of this disease makes it hard to detect. There have been several techniques over the years for classification which have shown significant improvement over the past decade or two. Some of the many classification models are SVM (support vector machine), KNN (K- Nearest Neighbors), Decision tree, Logistic Regression and ANN (Artificial Neural Network) back propagation. For this paper we would consider different procedure and method of early detection of the glaucoma disease using the MATLAB Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN). The DCNN based expert system basically works like the human brain with input, neurons, hidden layers and output. For this project Fundus image of both healthy image and glaucoma image are collected with good lighting condition so that all hidden features can be identify. The Fundus image are then passed through different image processing method such as Grayscale, B&W, Complement, Robert, Resize and power Transform. The fundus is then passed through a texture feature extraction algorithm know as Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN). The features gotten are Contrast, Correlation, energy, Homogeneity, Entropy, Mean, Standard deviation, Variance, skewness and Kurtosis. After the feature extraction the data are arrangement on a spreadsheet which serves as a means of record. Lastly, a deep convolutional neural network is written with one hidden layer, 16 input neuron and 2 output either healthy or not. The data are split into train and test dataset with 70% for training 15% validation and 15% for testing. Accuracy of detection was 92.78% with the execution time of 5.33s only depending on the number of iteration or epochs.

Medical data classification is an important factor in improving diagnosis and treatment and can assist physicians in making decisions about serious diseases by collecting symptoms and medical analyses. In this work, hybrid classification optimization methods such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swam Optimization (PSO), and Fireworks Algorithm (FWA), are proposed for enhancing the classification accuracy of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The enhancement process is tested through two experiments. First, the proposed algorithms are applied on five benchmark medical data sets from the repository of the University of California in Irvine (UCI). The model with the best results is then used in the second experiment, which focuses on tuning the parameters of the selected algorithm by choosing a different number of iterations in ANNs with different numbers of hidden layers. Enhanced ANN with the three optimization algorithms are tested on biological gene sequence big dataset obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) repository. GA and FWA are statistically significant but PSO was statistically not, and GA overcame PSO and FWA in performance. The methodology is successful and registers improvements in every step, as significant results are obtained.

This paper presents a new approach by training and improving a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on You Only Look Once version 2 (YOLOv2) to efficiently detect fuel trucks from images in embedded systems. The proposed method considers the entire image area for strong object detection compared with existing methods that only focus on the image area where the class object exists to predict its probability to be in a class. The loss function for CNN is improved to enhance effective learning, especially when only a limited amount of data is available for training. The class probability can be learned by improving the loss function although the anchor boxes are not in the center of the target object. The learning process of the model can be in a limited range and achieve rapid convergence although the sizes of the initial anchor and target boundary boxes are different. Experimental results of various fuel truck images show the efficiency of the proposed approach under different detection scenarios of real fuel trucks. The detection rate of the proposed method is approximately 4% higher than the YOLOv2 object detection method. The proposed method is suitable to monitor long country borders using unmanned drones.
