The imaging modalities are used to view other organs and analyze different tissues in the body. In such imaging modalities, a new and developing imaging technique is hyperspectral imaging. This multicolour representation of tissues helps us to better understand the issues compared to the previous image models. This research aims to analyze the tumor localization in the brain by performing different operations on hyperspectral images. The tumor is located using the combination of k-based clustering processes like k-nearest neighbour and k-means clustering. The value of k in both methods is determined using the optimization process called the firefly algorithm. The optimization processes reduce the manual calculation for finding Ks optimal value to segment the brain regions. The labelling of the areas of the brain is done using the multilayer feedforward neural network. The proposed technique produced better results than the existing methods like hybrid k-means clustering and parallel k-means clustering by having a higher peak signal-to-noise ratio and a lesser mean absolute error value. The proposed model achieved 96.47 accuracy, 96.32 sensitivity, and 98.24 specificity, which are improved compared to other techniques.

Glaucoma is the second most common cause for blindness around the world and the third most common in Europe and the USA. Around 78 million people are presently living with glaucoma (2020). It is expected that 111.8 million people will have glaucoma by the year 2040. 90% of glaucoma is undetected in developing nations. It is essential to develop a glaucoma detection system for early diagnosis. In this research, early prediction of glaucoma using deep learning technique is proposed. In this proposed deep learning model, the ORIGA dataset is used for the evaluation of glaucoma images. The U-Net architecture based on deep learning algorithm is implemented for optic cup segmentation and a pretrained transfer learning model; DenseNet-201 is used for feature extraction along with deep convolution neural network (DCNN). The DCNN approach is used for the classification, where the final results will be representing whether the glaucoma infected or not. The primary objective of this research is to detect the glaucoma using the retinal fundus images, which can be useful to determine if the patient was affected by glaucoma or not. The result of this model can be positive or negative based on the outcome detected as infected by glaucoma or not. The model is evaluated using parameters such as accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, and F-measure. Also, a comparative analysis is conducted for the validation of the model proposed. The output is compared to other current deep learning models used for CNN classification, such as VGG-19, Inception ResNet, ResNet 152v2, and DenseNet-169. The proposed model achieved 98.82% accuracy in training and 96.90% in testing. Overall, the performance of the proposed model is better in all the analysis.

In the domain of remote sensing, the classification of hyperspectral image (HSI) has become a popular topic. In general, the complicated features of hyperspectral data cause the precise classification difficult for standard machine learning approaches. Deep learning-based HSI classification has lately received a lot of interest in the field of remote sensing and has shown promising results. As opposed to conventional hand-crafted feature-based classification approaches, deep learning can automatically learn complicated features of HSIs with a greater number of hierarchical layers. Because HSI’s data structure is complicated, applying deep learning to it is difficult. The primary objective of this research is to propose a deep feature extraction model for HSI classification. Deep networks can extricate features of spatial and spectral from HSI data simultaneously, which is advantageous for increasing the performances of the proposed system. The squeeze and excitation (SE) network is combined with convolutional neural networks (SE-CNN) in this work to increase its performance in extracting features and classifying HSI. The squeeze and excitation block is designed to improve the representation quality of a CNN. Three benchmark datasets are utilized in the experiment to evaluate the proposed model: Pavia Centre, Pavia University, and Salinas. The proposed model’s performance is validated by a performance comparison with current deep transfer learning approaches such as VGG-16, Inception-v3, and ResNet-50. In terms of accuracy on each class of datasets and overall accuracy, the proposed SE-CNN model outperforms the compared models. The proposed model achieved an overall accuracy of 96.05% for Pavia University, 98.94% for Pavia Centre dataset, and 96.33% for Salinas dataset.
