  abstract =     "A hybrid method for plotting 2-dimensional curves,
                 defined implicitly by equations of the form f(x,y) = 0
                 is presented. The method is extremely robust and
                 reliable and consists of Space Covering techniques,
                 Continuation principles and Interval analysis (i.e.
                 SCCI). The space covering, based on iterated
                 subdivision, guarantees that no curve branches or
                 isolated curve parts or even points are lost (which can
                 happen if grid methods are used). The continuation
                 method is initiated in a subarea as soon as it is
                 proven that the subarea contains only one smooth curve.
                 Such a subarea does not need to be subdivided further
                 so that the computation is accelerated as far as
                 possible with respect to the subdivision process. The
                 novelty of the SCCI-hybrid method is the intense use of
                 the implicit function theorem for controlling the steps
                 of the method. Although the implicit function theorem
                 has a rather local nature, it is empowered with global
                 properties by evaluating it in an interval environment.
                 This means that the theorem can provide global
                 information about the curve in a subarea such as
                 existence, non-existence, uniqueness of the curve or
                 even the presence of singular points. The information
                 gained allows the above-mentioned control of the
                 subarea and the decision of its further processing,
                 i.e. deleting it, subdividing it, switching to the
                 continuation method or preparing the plotting of the
                 curve in this subarea. The curves can be processed
                 mathematically in such a manner, that the derivation of
                 the plotted curve from the exact curve is as small as
                 desired (modulo the screen resolution).",

                 implementation of an image-processing algorithm based
                 on the Retinex theory of human vision alleviates layers
                 of yellowed varnish and dust, restores chromatic
                 balance and contrast, and recovers some of the original
                 painted details. This virtual cleaning of artwork is
                 totally non-intrusive and can be applied automatically
                 to color images of paintings or ancient illustrations.
                 Cleaned virtual reproductions help art historians and
                 restorers in their research and classification work,
                 and also show the artwork in good condition to a wide

  abstract =     "Advanced digital capturing technologies have led to
                 the explosive growth of images on the Web. To retrieve
                 the desired image from a huge amount of images, textual
                 query is handier to represent the user's interest than
                 providing a visually similar image as a query. Semantic
                 annotation of images' has been identified as an
                 important step towards more efficient manipulation and
                 retrieval of images. The aim of the semantic annotation
                 of images is to annotate the existing images on the Web
                 so that the images are more easily interpreted by
                 searching programs. To annotate the images effectively,
                 extensive image interpretation techniques have been
                 developed to explore the semantic concept of images.
                 But, due to the complexity and variety of backgrounds,
                 effective image annotation is still a very challenging
                 and open problem. Semantic annotation of Web contents
                 manually is not feasible or scalable too, due to the
                 huge amount and rate of emerging Web content. In this
                 paper, we have surveyed the existing image annotation
                 models and developed a hierarchical
                 classification-based image annotation framework for
                 image categorization, description and annotation.
                 Empirical evaluation of the proposed framework with
                 respect to its annotation accuracy shows high precision
                 and recall compared with other annotation models with
                 significant time and cost. An important feature of the
                 proposed framework is that its specific annotation
                 techniques, suitable for a particular image category,
                 can be easily integrated and developed for other image
                 categories.",

                 recognition. It consists of a number of phases which
                 are preprocessing, feature extraction and

                 carried out by different techniques; zoning, profile

  abstract =     "Digital Watermarking is an important tool for
                 copyright protection. A good quality watermarking
                 scheme should provide both perceptual transparency as
                 well as robustness against attacks. Many efficient
                 schemes exist for grayscale image watermarking, but
                 relatively less attention has been paid to watermarking
                 for color images. Moreover, the existing works do not
                 provide adequate justification for the possible choice
                 of color space. In this paper, justification is
                 provided for the choice of YCbCr color space for
                 watermark embedding. A human visual system
                 (HVS)-inspired image-adaptive non-blind watermarking
                 scheme in the YCbCr space has subsequently been
                 proposed. This new algorithm has been referred to as
                 the Additive Embedding Scheme (AES). It comprises of a
                 modified watermarking strength parameter (
                 {\textalpha}mean {\textalpha}mean {\textalpha}mean ),
                 in combination with the discrete wavelet transform and
                 singular value decomposition (DWT-SVD). Experimental
                 results demonstrate that the proposed watermarking
                 scheme in YCbCr color space provides better perceptual
                 quality as well as robustness against attacks as
                 compared to existing schemes. We have further
                 improvised the aforementioned scheme to come up with a
                 Multiplicative Embedding Scheme (MES) for additional
                 robustness against a special type of attack, viz. the
                 Singular Value Exchange Attack.",

  abstract =     "In this work, we propose a framework that performs a
                 number of popular image-processing operations in the
                 continuous domain. This is in contrast to the standard
                 practice of defining them as operations over discrete
                 sequences of sampled values. The guiding principle is
                 that, in order to prevent aliasing, nonlinear
                 image-processing operations should ideally be performed
                 prior to prefiltering and sampling. This is of course
                 impractical, as we may not have access to the
                 continuous input. Even so, we show that it is best to
                 apply image-processing operations over the continuous
                 reconstruction of the input. This transformed
                 continuous representation is then prefiltered and
                 sampled to produce the output. The use of high-quality
                 reconstruction strategies brings this alternative much
                 closer to the ideal than directly operating over

  abstract =     "Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have brought in
                 exciting progress in many computer vision tasks. But
                 the feature extraction process executed by CNN still
                 keeps a black box to us, and we have not fully
                 understood its working mechanism. In this paper, we
                 propose a method to evaluate CNN features and further
                 to analyze the CNN feature extractor, which is inspired
                 by Bayes Classification Theory and KL divergence (KLD).
                 Experiments have shown that CNN can promote feature
                 discrimativeness by gradually increasing the
                 intra-class KLD, and meanwhile promote feature
                 robustness by gradually decreasing the inner-class KLD
                 during training. Experiments also reveal that, with the
                 deepening of network, CNN can gradually improve
                 separability information density in feature space and
                 encode much more separability information into the

                 capturing images in border area surveillance, disaster
                 intensity monitoring, etc. An aerial photograph offers
                 a permanent recording solution as well. But rapid

                 results in low/poor contrast images during image
                 acquisition by Autonomous UAV. In this current study, a
                 well-known meta-heuristic technique, namely, Firefly
                 Algorithm (FA) is reported to enhance aerial images
                 taken by a Mini Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (MUAV) via

  abstract =     "Conventional techniques for security of data, designed
                 by using only one of the security mechanisms,
                 cryptography or steganography, are suitable for limited
                 applications only. In this paper, we propose a
                 crypto-stego system that would be appropriate for
                 secure transmission of different forms of data. In the
                 proposed crypto-stego system, we present a mechanism to
                 provide secure transmission of data by multiple safety
                 measures, firstly by applying encryption using Affine
                 Transform and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and then
                 merging this encrypted data with an image, randomly
                 chosen from a set of available images, and sending the
                 image so obtained to the receiver at the other end
                 through the network. The data to be sent over a
                 communication channel may be a gray-scale or colored
                 image, or a text document ({.doc}, {.txt}, or {.pdf}
                 file). As it is encrypted and sent hidden in an image,
                 it avoids any attention to itself by the observers in
                 the network. At the receiver's side, reverse
                 transformations are applied to obtain the original
                 information. The experimental results, security
                 analysis and statistical analysis for gray-scale
                 images, RGB images, text documents ({.doc}, {.txt},
                 {.pdf} files), show robustness and appropriateness of
                 the proposed crypto-stego system for secure
                 transmission of the data through unsecured network. The
                 security analysis and key space analysis demonstrate
                 that the proposed technique is immune from
                 cryptanalysis.",

  abstract =     "Nowadays, digital watermarking is employed for
                 authentication and copyright protection. In this paper,
                 a secure image watermarking scheme based on lifting
                 wavelet transform (LWT) and singular value
                 decomposition (SVD), is proposed. Both LWT and SVD are
                 used as mathematical tools for embedding watermark in
                 the host image. In this work, the watermark is a speech
                 signal which is segmented into shorted portions having
                 the same length. This length is equal to 256 and these
                 different portions constitute the different columns of
                 a speech image. The latter is then embedded into a
                 grayscale or color image (the host image). This
                 procedure is performed in order to insert into an image
                 a confidential data which is in our case a speech
                 signal. But instead of embedding this speech signal
                 directly into the image, we transform it into a matrix
                 and treated it as an image (``a speech image''). Of
                 course, this speech signal transformation permits us to
                 use LWT-2D and SVD to both the host image and the
                 watermark (``a speech image''). The proposed technique
                 is applied to a number of grayscale and color images.
                 The obtained results from peak signal-to-noise ratio
                 (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM) computations
                 show the performance of the proposed technique.
                 Experimental evaluation also shows that the proposed
                 scheme is able to withstand a number of attacks such as
                 JPEG compression, mean and median attacks. In our
                 evaluation of the proposed technique, we used another
                 technique of secure image watermarking based on DWT-2D
                 and SVD.",

                 Characters are continually evolving into new
                 challenges, which exposed the new sources of further
                 research work like, character normalization, gray-level
                 normalization, a discrimination of the similar
                 characters and many more. This paper discusses the
                 discrimination of the similar characters, which is one
                 of the major sources of classification error. The
                 similar shape character has a very minute difference,
                 which is called critical region and used to
                 discriminate them by human beings. The primary goal of
                 the current work is to identify the critical region of
                 the similar character and use the same to generate
                 additional features in order to minimize the
                 classification errors in the end results. It is also
                 quite challenging to identify the critical region as
                 the characters are written in different handwriting
                 styles and fonts. The paper suggests the Fisher linear
                 discriminant model to detect the critical region, which
                 is used to extract the additional feature. The
                 experiments work was conducted on the standard

                 wavelet, extended adaptive Wiener filter and the
                 bilateral filter is proposed for digital images.
                 Production of mode is accomplished by the genetic
                 algorithm. The proposed extended adaptive Wiener filter
                 has been developed from the adaptive Wiener filter.
                 First, the genetic algorithm suggest some hybrid
                 models. The attributes of images, including peak signal
                 to noise ratio, signal to noise ratio and image quality
                 assessment are studied. Then, in order to evaluate the
                 model, the values of attributes are sent to the Fuzzy
                 deduction system. Simulations and evaluations mentioned
                 in this paper are accomplished on some standard images
                 such as Lena, boy, fruit, mandrill, Barbara, butterfly,
                 and boat. Next, weaker models are omitted by studying
                 of the various models. Establishment of new generations
                 performs in a form that a generation emendation is
                 carried out, and final model has a more optimum quality
                 compared to each two filters in order to obviate the
                 noise. At the end, the results of this system are
                 studied so that a comprehensive model with the best
                 performance is to be found. Experiments show that the

  abstract =     "Geo-science and remote sensing technologies play
                 enormous roles in agriculture nowadays, especially in
                 analysis of data from aerial images such as satellite
                 images and drone images. Most agricultural images
                 contain more textural regions than non-textural
                 regions. Therefore, data management in terms of
                 textural regions is very important. Indeed, additive
                 white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is the fundamental problem
                 in digital image analysis. In wavelet transform,
                 Bayesian estimation is useful in several noise
                 reduction methods. The Bayesian technique requires a
                 prior modeling of noise-free wavelet coefficients. In
                 non-textural regions, the wavelet coefficients might be
                 better modeled by super-Gaussian density such as
                 Laplacian, Pearson type VII, Cauchy, and two-sided
                 gamma distributions. However, the statistical model of
                 textural regions is Gaussian model. Therefore, in
                 agricultural images, we require flexible model between
                 super-Gaussian and Gaussian models. In fact, the
                 generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD) is the suitable
                 model for this problem. Therefore, we present new
                 maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator for spacial case
                 of GGD in AWGN. Here, we obtained the analytical form
                 solution. Moreover, this research work will also
                 describe limitations of GGD application in Bayesian
                 estimator. The simulation results illustrate that our
                 presented method outperforms the state-of-the-art
                 methods qualitatively and quantitatively.",

                 feature sets based on image gradient, black--white

                 from multi spectral satellite imagery can be used to
                 obtain multiple representation of the image and capture
                 different structure lineaments. Pixels are grouped
                 using clustering and morphology based segmentation for
                 region based spatial information. This is used to
                 calculate the spatial features of the contiguous
                 regions by classifying the region into the statistics
                 of the pixel properties. In the proposed work, analysis
                 of Google Earth images for identification of
                 morphological patterns of the river flow is done for
                 remote sensing image using graph-cuts. Multi-temporal
                 satellite images acquired from Google Earth to identify
                 the digital elevation is used to formulate the energy
                 function from images to compare the displacement in
                 pixel value using similarity measure. A method is
                 proposed to solve non-rigid image transformation via
                 graph-cuts algorithm by modeling the registration
                 process as a discrete labeling problem. A displacement
                 vector associated to each pixel in the source image
                 indicates the corresponding position in the moving
                 image. The transformation matrix produced from change
                 in the intensity of the pixels for a region is then
                 optimized for energy minimization by using the
                 graph-cuts algorithm and demon registration technique.
                 The proposed study enhances the advantages of regional
                 segmentation in order to know homogeneous areas for
                 optimal image segmentation and digital footprints for
                 change in the river bed patterns by identifying the
                 change in LANDSAT data from temporal satellite images.
                 By applying the proposed multi-level registration
                 method, the number of labels used in each level is
                 greatly reduced due to lower image resolution being
                 used in coarser levels. The results demonstrate that

                 imagery provides the picture of the anatomy of brain
                 tissues without any functional information, while the
                 color PET imagery gives the functional information of
                 brain tissues with low spatial resolution. An ideal
                 fusion model should maintain both the functional and
                 spatial information of the images without any spatial
                 distortion or color deformation. In this work, we
                 present a novel fusion technique for color PET-MRI
                 medical images using Two-Dimensional Discrete Fourier
                 (2DFT)-Karhunen--Loeve transform (KLT) and singular

                 and multi-directional sub-bands by shearlet transform
                 (ST). Then, SVD is utilized to eliminate superfluous ST
                 coefficients; later, the 2DFT and KLT are utilized to
                 estimate optimal low-pass ST coefficients in each of
                 the decomposed images. Later, we combine the largest
                 low-pass ST coefficients using a novel fusion strategy.
                 The process of decomposing the source image has been
                 discussed in detail. Finally, we use the inverse
                 shearlet transformation (IST) to obtain the fused

                 our proposed method in terms of quantitative and

  abstract =     "In this paper we consider shape-based methods to
                 generate additional slices in 3D binary volumes. The
                 focused interpolation approaches, named SIMOL and BORS,
                 are based on morphological and logical operators. Given
                 two adjacent slices S1 and S2 of the binary image set,
                 the methods iteratively generate a sequence of new
                 slices showing a gradual transition between the
                 corresponding shapes. First, we analyze the SIMOL and
                 BORS techniques and highlight their problems. Then we
                 present the main contribution of this paper: a new
                 interpolation scheme, called SIMOL-NEW, that combines
                 the iterative scheme of BORS and an interpolation
                 kernel generated through SIMOL framework. Next, we
                 compare SIMOL-NEW and BORS approaches using theoretical
                 elements and computational experiments. The latter are
                 executed using: (a) benchmark shapes; (b) simple
                 volumes defined by sphere and paraboloid; (c)
                 combination of ellipsoids; (d) a fork-like volume; (e)
                 Cylinder Minus Sphere. The conclusion is that SIMOL-NEW
                 performs closer to BORS for the cases (a) and (c) but
                 it is more accurate than BORS in the tests (b) and (d).
                 Besides, we offer comparisons of state-of-the-art
                 approaches in shape-based interpolation and SIMOL-NEW
                 using ground truth volumes (d) and (e). The
                 computational experiment report that SIMOL-NEW gets
                 outstanding results regarding the ability to recover
                 the target volume.",

                 authentication. Property related documents, bank
                 checks, application forms, etc., are the examples of
                 such documents. Fingerprint-based document image
                 retrieval system aims to provide a solution for
                 searching and browsing of such digitized documents. The
                 major challenges in implementing fingerprint-based
                 document image retrieval are an efficient method for
                 fingerprint detection and an effective feature
                 extraction method. In this work, we propose a method
                 for automatic detection of a fingerprint from given
                 query document image employing Discrete Wavelet
                 Transform (DWT)-based features and SVM classifier. In
                 this paper, we also propose and investigate two feature
                 extraction schemes, DWT and Stationary Wavelet
                 Transform (SWT)-based Local Binary Pattern (LBP)
                 features for fingerprint-based document image
                 retrieval. The standardized Euclidean distance is
                 employed for matching and ranking of the documents.
                 Proposed method is tested on a database of 1200
                 document images and is also compared with current
                 state-of-art. The proposed scheme provided 98.87\% of

                 in each person's life in this era of information
                 technology, where individuals effectively inhabit the
                 advertisements, magazines, websites, televisions and
                 many more. At the point when digital images played
                 their role, the event of violations in terms of
                 misrepresentation of information, use of their wrong
                 doings winds up and also becomes easier with the help
                 of image editing application programs. To be
                 legitimate, if anyone does wrong anything then the
                 proposed method can be used for a correct
                 identification of the forgery and the imitations in the
                 digital images. In existing techniques, researchers
                 have suggested most well-known types of digital
                 photographic manipulations based on source, meta-data,
                 image copying, splicing and many more. The proposed
                 approach is inspired by physics-based techniques and
                 requires less human involvement. The presented approach
                 works for images having any type of objects present in
                 the scene, i.e. not only limited to human faces and
                 selection of same intensity regions of the image. By
                 assessing the lighting parameters, the proposed
                 technique identifies the manipulated object and returns
                 angle of incidence w.r.t light source direction. The
                 demonstrated result produces forgery recognition rate
                 of 92\% on an image dataset comprising of various types

                 media content has become rampant. Illegal distribution
                 of movies and video clips on a global scale causes a
                 significant loss to the media industry. To prevent such
                 theft and distribution of content, we use a
                 watermarking technique for videos where copyright
                 information is hidden inside the original video in the
                 form of a watermark video. Using a video as the
                 watermark facilitates the user in hiding a large amount
                 of information. The watermarking scheme used in this
                 paper is semi-fragile, such that tampering of videos
                 can be detected with relative ease. To improve the
                 robustness of the watermark, we embed the watermark in
                 frequency domain, where we use DWT+DCT+SVD to embed the
                 watermark. The original video and watermark video are
                 transformed by using the DWT and DCT sequentially, then
                 the singular values of the watermark with some
                 embedding strength are added to the singular values of
                 the original video thus obtaining a watermarked video.
                 Some detection tools which are available today cannot
                 detect the watermark video inside the original video.
                 This method equalizes the frames of the watermark and
                 original video to reduce time consumed as well as
                 complexity. The effects of various attacks on the
                 watermarked video have been analyzed using the
                 calculated PSNR values.",

  abstract =     "Although the low-dose CT (LDCT) technique can reduce
                 the radiation damage to patients, it will be highly
                 detrimental to the reconstructed image quality. The
                 normal-dose scan assisted algorithms have shown their
                 potential in improving LDCT image quality by using a
                 registered previously scanned normal-dose CT (NDCT)
                 reference to regularize the corresponding LDCT target.
                 The major drawback of such methods is the requirement
                 of a previous patient-specific NDCT scan, which limits
                 their clinical application. To address these problems,
                 this paper proposed adaptive prior feature matching
                 method for better restoration of the LDCT image. The
                 innovation lies in construction of offline texture
                 feature database and online adaptive prior feature
                 matching integrated with the NLM regularization.
                 Specifically, the prior features were extracted by the
                 gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) from regions of
                 interest (ROIs) in existing NDCT scans of population
                 patients. For online adaptive prior feature matching,
                 ROIs with their texture features being similar to those
                 of the current noisy target ROI are selected from the
                 database as the references for the NLM regularization.
                 The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is
                 validated by clinical lung cancer studies, the gain
                 over traditional methods is noticeable in terms of both
                 noise suppression and textures preservation.",

  abstract =     "Two novel methods for fully unsupervised human action
                 retrieval using 3D mesh sequences are presented. The
                 first achieves high accuracy but is suitable for
                 sequences consisting of clean meshes, such as
                 artificial sequences or highly post-processed real
                 sequences, while the second one is robust and suitable
                 for noisy meshes, such as those that often result from
                 unprocessed scanning or 3D surface reconstruction
                 errors. The first method uses a spatio-temporal
                 descriptor based on the trajectories of 6 salient
                 points of the human body (i.e. the centroid, the top of
                 the head and the ends of the two upper and two lower
                 limbs) from which a set of kinematic features are
                 extracted. The resulting features are transformed using
                 the wavelet transformation in different scales and a
                 set of statistics are used to obtain the descriptor. An
                 important characteristic of this descriptor is that its
                 length is constant independent of the number of frames
                 in the sequence. The second descriptor consists of two
                 complementary sub-descriptors, one based on the
                 trajectory of the centroid of the human body across
                 frames and the other based on the Hybrid static shape
                 descriptor adapted for mesh sequences. The robustness
                 of the second descriptor derives from the robustness
                 involved in extracting the centroid and the Hybrid
                 sub-descriptors. Performance figures on publicly
                 available real and artificial datasets demonstrate our
                 accuracy and robustness claims and in most cases the
                 results outperform the state-of-the-art.",

                 technique based on statistical and fuzzy rule-based
                 edge detection for improved hazy image contrast
                 enhancement. This is significant since most
                 conventional de-hazing approaches yield hazy images
                 with over-enhanced sky regions and under-enhanced
                 detail regions due to inability to adaptively determine
                 and enhance such regions. Earlier and current schemes
                 developed to remedy this issue are highly complex,
                 usually require training with vast amount of images and
                 manual tuning of one or several parameters. The
                 proposed method utilizes standard deviation and fuzzy
                 logic-based edge detection combined with thresholding
                 algorithms to generate a homogeneity map identifying
                 sky and non-sky regions. The areas of these regions are
                 subsequently computed and used to obtain a homogeneity
                 ratio. The ratio is then used to trigger a

                 the context of today's rapid emergence of technological
                 advancements with ever expansive requirements. It has
                 also significant relevance in the related engineering
                 disciplines of computer graphics, pattern recognition,
                 psychology, image processing and artificial neural
                 networks. This paper proposes a side-view face
                 authentication approach based on discrete wavelet
                 transform and artificial neural networks for the
                 solution of the problem. A subset determination
                 strategy that expands on the number of training samples
                 and permits protection of the global information is
                 discussed. The authentication technique involves image
                 profile extraction, decomposition of the wavelets,
                 splitting of the subsets and finally neural network
                 verification. The procedure exploits the localization
                 property of the wavelets in both the frequency and
                 spatial domains, while maintaining the generalized
                 properties of the neural networks. The realization
                 strategy of the methodology was executed using MATLAB,
                 demonstrating that the performance of the technique is
                 quite satisfactory.",

  abstract =     "Image segmentation is one of the most challenging
                 research fields for both image analysis and
                 interpretation. The applications of image segmentation
                 could be found as the primary step in various computer
                 vision systems. Therefore, the choice of a reliable and
                 accurate segmentation method represents a non-trivial
                 task. Since the selected image segmentation method
                 influences the overall performance of the remaining
                 system steps, sky segmentation appears as a vital step
                 for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) autonomous obstacle
                 avoidance missions. In this paper, we are going to
                 introduce a comprehensive literature survey of the
                 different types of image segmentation methodology
                 followed by a detailed illustration of the
                 general-purpose methods and the state-of-art sky
                 segmentation approaches. In addition, we introduce an
                 improved version of our previously published work for
                 sky segmentation purpose. The performance of the
                 proposed sky segmentation approach is compared with
                 various image segmentation approaches using different
                 parameters and datasets. For performance assessment, we
                 test our approach under different situations and
                 compare its performance with commonly used approaches
                 in terms of several assessment indexes. From the
                 experimental results, the proposed method gives
                 promising results compared with the other image
                 segmentation approaches.",

  abstract =     "In real time surveillance video applications, it is
                 often required to identify a region of interest in a
                 degraded low resolution (LR) image. State-of-the-art
                 super-resolution (SR) techniques produce images with
                 poor illumination and degraded high frequency details.
                 In this paper, we present a different approach for SISR
                 by correcting the dual-tree complex wavelet transform
                 (DT-CWT) subbands using the multi-stage cascaded joint
                 bilateral filter (MSCJBF) and singular value
                 decomposition (SVD). The proposed method exploits
                 geometric regularity for implementing the
                 covariance-based interpolation in the spatial domain.
                 We decompose the interpolated LR image into different
                 image and wavelet coefficients by employing DT-CWT. To
                 preserve edges, we alter the wavelet sub-bands with the
                 high frequency details obtained from the MSCJBF.
                 Simultaneously, we retain uniform illumination by
                 improving the image coefficients using SVD. In
                 addition, the wavelet sub-bands undergo Lanczos
                 interpolation prior to the subband refinement.
                 Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of
                 our method.",

  abstract =     "This paper proposes a novel and efficient algorithm
                 for defogging of color (RGB) images. The fog in a scene
                 is mostly due to the attenuation and airlight map,
                 which decrease the quality of the image of the scene.
                 To enhance such images from the visual point of view, a
                 fractional-order anisotropic diffusion algorithm with p
                 -Laplace norm is proposed for removing the fog effect.
                 In particular, a coupling term is added in order to
                 model the inter-channel correlations. The weights used
                 in the coupling term stop the transmission of diffusion
                 with in the edges, thus balances the inter-channel data
                 in the diffusion procedure. Experimental results
                 validate the better performance of the proposed
                 algorithm over some of the existing anisotropic
                 diffusion-based methods. The proposed method is
                 independent of the measure of fog in the images, thus
                 images with different amount of fog can be enhanced.",

  abstract =     "Robust and invisible watermarking provides a feasible
                 solution to prove the ownership of the genuine content
                 owner. Different watermarking algorithms have been
                 presented by the researchers in the past but no
                 algorithm could be termed as perfect. Proposed work
                 puts forward a novel image-adaptive method of embedding
                 a binary watermark in the image in a transparent
                 manner. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT), singular
                 value decomposition (SVD) and discrete cosine transform
                 (DCT) are used together in the proposed hybrid
                 watermarking scheme. Image-adaptive nature of the
                 scheme is reflected in the usage of only high entropy
                 8{\texttimes}8 blocks for the watermark embedding.
                 Binary watermark is embedded in the DCT coefficients
                 using a flexible strength derived from the means of the
                 DCT coefficients. This flexible strength factor (SF)
                 has different value for the DCT coefficients originated
                 from different 8{\texttimes}8 blocks. Any desired level
                 of visual quality could be obtained by varying the
                 adjusting parameter of the flexible SF. Side
                 information generated in the watermark embedding is
                 used in the detection of watermark. The presented
                 watermarking technique shows better robustness in
                 comparison to the three contemporary watermarking
                 techniques.",

                 modeling from an image sequence. The first method works
                 by creating an initial estimate using multiframe
                 structure from motion (SfM) reconstruction framework,
                 which is refined by comparing against a generic face

  abstract =     "The chromosomes are the carriers of the geometric
                 information, any alteration in the structure or number
                 of these chromosomes is termed as genetic defect. These
                 alterations cause malfunctioning in the proteins and
                 are cause of the various underlying medical conditions
                 that are hard to cure or detect by normal clinical
                 procedures. In order to detect the underlying causes of
                 these defects, the cells of the humans need to be
                 imaged during the mitosis phase of cell division.
                 During this phase, the chromosomes are the longest and
                 can be easily studied and the alterations in the
                 structure and count of the chromosomes can be analyzed
                 easily. The chromosomes are non-rigid objects, due to
                 which they appear in varied orientations, which makes
                 them hard to be analyzed for the detection of
                 structural defects. In order to detect the genetic
                 abnormalities due to structural defects, the
                 chromosomes need to be in straight orientation.
                 Therefore, in this work, we propose to classify the
                 segmented chromosomes from the metaspread images into
                 straight, bent, touching overlapping or noise, so that
                 the bent, touching, overlapping chromosomes can be
                 preprocessed and straightened and the noisy objects be
                 discarded. The classification has been done using a set
                 of 17 different geometric features. We have proposed a
                 Multilayer Perceptron-based classification approach to
                 classify the chromosomes extracted from metaspread
                 images into five distinct categories considering their
                 orientation. The results of the classification have
                 been analyzed using the segmented objects of the
                 Advance Digital Imaging Research (ADIR) dataset. The
                 proposed technique is capable of classifying the
                 segmented chromosomes with 94.28\% accuracy. The
                 performance of the proposed technique has been compared
                 with seven other state-of-the-art classifiers and
                 superior results have been achieved by the proposed
                 method.",

  abstract =     "This paper proposes a compression algorithm using
                 octonary repetition tree (ORT) based on run length
                 encoding (RLE). Generally, RLE is one type of lossless
                 data compression method which has duplication problem
                 as a major issue due to the usage of code word or flag.
                 Hence, ORT is offered instead of using a flag or code
                 word to overcome this issue. This method gives better
                 performance by means of compression ratio, i.e.
                 99.75\%. But, the functioning of ORT is not good in
                 terms of compression speed. For that reason,
                 physical-next generation secure computing (PHY-NGSC) is
                 hybridized with ORT to raise the compression speed. It
                 uses an MPI-open MP programming paradigm on ORT to
                 improve the compression speed of encoder. The planned
                 work achieves multiple levels of parallelism within an
                 image such as MPI and OpenMP for parallelism across a
                 group of pictures level and slice level, respectively.
                 At the same time, wide range of data compression like
                 multimedia, executive files and documents are possible
                 in the proposed method. The performance of the proposed
                 work is compared with other methods like accordian RLE,
                 context adaptive variable length coding (CAVLC) and
                 context-based arithmetic coding (CBAC) through the
                 implementation in Matlab working platform.",

                 part of that image that supplies paramount knowledge
                 about it. This information and knowledge can be used in
                 the variety of purposes like image-based searching,
                 automatic number plate recognition, robot navigation,
                 etc. but text region extraction and detection in
                 scenery images could be quite a challenging job due to
                 image blur, distortion, noise, etc. In this paper, we
                 discuss a method for extraction of text regions by
                 generating prospective components by applying maximally
                 stable extremal regions (MSER) and boundary smoothing
                 by Alternating guided image filter, which is one of the
                 newest filters to deal with noise and halo effect
                 elimination. The separation of non-text \& text
                 components is achieved by AdaBoost classifier that
                 separates text and non-text on the basis of the three
                 text specific features namely maximum stroke width
                 ratio, compactness, color divergence. The proposed
                 method assist in extracting text regions from the
                 blurred and low contrast natural scene images
                 effectively. The ICDAR 2013 training and testing

                 of the method. The evaluation is carried out using

  abstract =     "The ancient Arabic manuscripts are considered to be
                 more complex regarding enhancement compared to others
                 written in other languages. Complexity comes from
                 character degradation, stains, low-quality images,
                 curves of the text, character overlapping, etc. To
                 facilitate the restoration, a set of well-known
                 binarization techniques designed for historical
                 document images is presented in this paper. Existing
                 binarization techniques focus on either finding an
                 appropriate global threshold for the whole image or
                 adapting a local threshold for each area to achieve
                 better enhancement quality. This improvement aims to
                 remove noises, strains, uneven illumination, etc. The
                 goal of our work is to assess these methods when
                 applied to Arabic manuscripts in terms of readability,
                 elimination of original spots and production of
                 unwanted noise. Results show that no techniques work
                 well for all types of manuscripts, but some techniques
                 work better than others for particular types.
                 Experimental results also indicate that Nick and Wolf
                 techniques performed the best in terms of readability
                 in most of the processed manuscripts.",

  abstract =     "Generally, the database is a gathering of data that is
                 arranged for simple storage, retrieval and modernize.
                 This data comprises of numerous structures like text,
                 table, and image, outline and chart and so on.
                 Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is valuable for
                 calculating the huge amount of image databases and
                 records and for distinguishes retrieving similar
                 images. Rather than text-based searching, CBIR
                 effectively recovers images that are similar like query
                 image. CBIR assumes a significant role in various areas
                 including restorative finding, industry estimation,
                 geographical information satellite frameworks (GIS
                 frameworks), and biometrics; online searching and
                 authentic research, etc. Here different medical
                 database images are considered to the CBIR procedure is
                 done by the proposed strategy. The proposed method
                 considers the input features are shape, texture
                 feature, wavelet feature, and SIFT feature. To retrieve
                 the input image based on the features, the suggested
                 method utilizes artificial neural network (ANN)
                 structure. Back-propagation technique, which is an
                 organizational structure for learning is utilized for
                 training the neural network framework. Trial
                 demonstrates that the proposed work improves the
                 results of the retrieval system. From the outcomes
                 minimizes the image retrieval time and maximum

  abstract =     "The liver cancer is one of the most common fatal
                 diseases worldwide, and its early detection through
                 medical imaging is a major contributor to the reduction
                 in mortality from certain cancer. This paves the way to
                 work on diagnosing liver diseases effectively. An
                 accurate diagnosis of liver disease in CT image
                 requires an efficient description of textures and
                 classification methods. This paper performs comparative
                 analysis on proposed texture feature descriptor with
                 the different existing texture features with various
                 classifiers to classify six types of diffused and focal
                 liver diseases. The classification of liver diseases is
                 done in two stages. In first stage, features like
                 segmentation based fractal texture analysis, counting
                 label occurrence matrix, local configuration pattern,
                 eXtended center-symmetric local binary pattern and the
                 proposed local symmetric tetra pattern are used for
                 extracting information from the CT liver structure and
                 classifiers like support vector machine, k -nearest
                 neighbor, and naive Bayes are used for classifying the
                 pathologic liver. When pathologic conditions are
                 detected, the best feature descriptors and classifiers
                 are used to classify the results into any of six
                 exclusive pathologic liver diseases, in second stage.
                 The experiments are carried out in medically validated
                 liver datasets containing normal and six-disease
                 category of liver. The first experiment is analyzed
                 using sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. The
                 second experiment is evaluated using precision, recall,
                 BCR, and F-measure. The results demonstrate that the
                 local symmetric tetra pattern with k -nearest neighbor
                 classifier culminates in a state-of-the-art performance
                 for diagnosing liver diseases.",

  abstract =     "Image segmentation and classification are the major
                 challenges to satellite imagery. Also, the
                 identification of unique objects in the satellite image
                 is a significant aspect in the application of remote
                 sensing. Many satellite image classification techniques
                 have been presented earlier. However, the accuracy of
                 the image classification has to be further improved. So
                 that, optimal artificial neural network with
                 kernel-based fuzzy c-means ( KFCM+OANN ) clustering
                 based satellite image classification is proposed in
                 this paper. Initially, the images are segmented with
                 the help of KFCM algorithm. Then, color features and
                 gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) features to be
                 extracted from the segmented regions. Then, these
                 extracted features are given to the OANN classifier.
                 Based on these features, segmented regions are
                 classified as building, road, shadow, and tree. To
                 enhance the performance of the classifier, the weight
                 values are optimally selected with the help of fruit
                 fly algorithm. Simulation results show that the

                 have been proposed in emotion recognition. They are
                 mainly classified in the past under 2D and 3D emotion
                 recognition, out of which 2D emotion recognition has

  abstract =     "Images are widely used in engineering. Unfortunately,
                 ultrasound images are mainly degraded by an intrinsic
                 noise called speckle. Therefore, de-speckling is a
                 critical preprocessing step. Therefore, a robust
                 despeckling method and accurate evaluation of images
                 are suggested. We suggest three phases and a three-step
                 denoising filter. In the first phase, the coefficients
                 of variation are computed from the noisy image. The
                 second phase is a three-step denoising filter. The
                 first step is denoising of extreme levels of
                 homogeneous regions, based on fuzzy homogeneous
                 regions. The second step is a proposed adaptive
                 bilateral filter (ABF). The ABF helps for better
                 denoising based on the three regions which are edge,
                 detail and homogeneous regions. The next step, a
                 weight, is applied to the ABF. This step is for
                 isolated noise denoising. Next, in the third phase, the
                 output image is evaluated by the fuzzy logic approach.
                 The proposed method is compared with other filters in
                 the literature. The experimental outcomes show that the
                 proposed method has better performance than the other
                 filters. That proposed denoising algorithm is able to
                 preserve image details and edges when compared with
                 other denoising methods.",

  abstract =     "Efficient skin lesion segmentation algorithms are
                 required for computer aided diagnosis of skin cancer.
                 Several algorithms were proposed for skin lesion
                 segmentation. The existing algorithms are short of
                 achieving ideal performance. In this paper, a novel
                 semi-automatic segmentation algorithm is proposed. The
                 fare concept of the proposed is 8-directional search
                 based on threshold for lesion pixel, starting from a
                 user provided seed point. The proposed approach is
                 tested on 200 images from PH2 and 900 images from ISBI
                 2016 datasets. In comparison to a chosen set of
                 algorithms, the proposed approach gives high accuracy
                 and specificity values. A significant advantage of the
                 proposed method is the ability to deal with
                 discontinuities in the lesion.",

  abstract =     "With the increasing demand for security in many
                 fastest growing applications, biometric recognition is
                 the most prominent authentication system. User
                 authentication through speech and face recognition is
                 the important biometric technique to enhance the
                 security. This paper proposes a speech and facial
                 feature-based multi-modal biometric recognition
                 technique to improve the authentication of any system.
                 Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) is extracted
                 from audio as speech features. In visual recognition,
                 this paper proposes cascade hybrid facial (visual)
                 feature extraction method based on static, dynamic and
                 key-point salient features of the face and it proves
                 that the proposed feature extraction method is more
                 efficient than the existing method. In this proposed
                 method, Viola--Jones algorithm is used to detect static
                 and dynamic features of eye, nose, lip, Scale Invariant
                 Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm is used to detect
                 some stable key-point features of face. In this paper,
                 a research on the audio-visual integration method using
                 AND logic is also made. Furthermore, all the
                 experiments are carried out using Artificial Neural
                 Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). An
                 accuracy of 94.90\% is achieved using proposed feature
                 extraction method. The main objective of this work is
                 to improve the authenticity of any application using
                 multi-modal biometric features. Adding facial features
                 to the speech recognition improve system security
                 because biometric features are unique and combining
                 evidence from two modalities increases the authenticity
                 as well as integrity of the system.",

  abstract =     "Electrocardiography (ECG) signals provides assistance
                 to the cardiologists for identification of various
                 cardiovascular diseases (CVD). ECG machine records the
                 electrical activity of the heart with the assistance of
                 electrodes placed on the patient's body. Qualitative
                 characterization of ECG signal reflects its
                 sensitiveness towards distinct artifacts that resulted
                 in low diagnostic accuracy and may lead to incorrect
                 decision of the clinician. The artifacts are removed
                 utilizing a robust noise estimator employing DTCWT
                 using various threshold values and functions. The
                 segments and intervals of ECG signals are calculated
                 using the peak detection algorithm followed by particle
                 swarm optimization (PSO) and the proposed optimization
                 technique to select the best features from a
                 considerable pool of features. Out of the 12 features,
                 the best four features are selected using PSO and the
                 proposed optimization technique. Comparative analysis
                 with other feature selection methods and
                 state-of-the-art techniques demonstrated that the
                 proposed algorithm precisely selects principle features
                 for handling the ECG signal and attains better
                 classification utilizing distinctive machine learning
                 algorithms. The obtained accuracy using our proposed
                 optimization technique is 95.71\% employing k -NN and
                 neural networks. Also, 4\% and 10\% improvements have
                 been observed while using k -NN over ANN and SVM,
                 respectively, when the PSO technique is executed.
                 Similarly, a 14.16\% improvement is achieved while
                 using k -NN and ANN over the SVM machine learning
                 technique for the proposed optimization technique.
                 Heart rate is calculated using the proposed estimator
                 and optimization technique, which is in consensus with
                 the gold standard.",

  abstract =     "Identification of skin disease has become a
                 challenging task with the origination of various skin
                 diseases. This paper presents a case-based reasoning
                 (CBR) decision support system to enhance dermatological
                 diagnosis for rural and remote communities. In this
                 proposed work, an automated way is introduced to deal
                 with the inconsistency problem in CBRs. This new hybrid
                 architecture is to support the diagnosis in multiple
                 skin diseases. The architecture used case-based
                 reasoning terminology facilitates the medical
                 diagnosis. Case based reasoning system retrieves the
                 data which contains symptoms and treatment plan of the
                 disease from the data repository by the way of matching
                 visual contents of the image, such as shape, texture,
                 and color descriptors. The extracted feature vector is
                 fed into a framework to retrieve the data. The results
                 proved using ROC curve that the proposed architecture
                 yields high contribution to the computer-aided
                 diagnosis of skin lesions. In experimental analysis,
                 the system yields a specificity of 95.25\% and a
                 sensitivity of 86.77\%. Our empirical evaluation has a

  abstract =     "Image denoising, a significant research area in the
                 field of medical image processing, makes an effort to
                 recover the original image from its noise corrupted
                 image. The Pulse Coupled Neural Networks (PCNN) works
                 well against denoising a noisy image. Generally, image
                 denoising techniques are directly applied on the
                 pixels. From the literature review, it is reported that
                 denoising after frequency domain transformation is
                 performing better since noise removal is applied over
                 the coefficients. Motivated by this, in this paper, a
                 new technique called the Static Thresholded Pulse
                 Coupled Neural Network (ST-PCNN) is proposed by
                 combining PCNN with traditional filtering or threshold
                 shrinkage technique in Contourlet Transform domain.
                 Four different existing PCNN architectures, such as
                 Neuromime Structure, Intersecting Cortical Model,
                 Unit-Linking Model and Multichannel Model are
                 considered for comparative analysis. The filters such
                 as Wiener, Median, Average, Gaussian and threshold
                 shrinkage techniques such as Sure Shrink, HeurShrink,
                 Neigh Shrink, BayesShrink are used. For noise removal,
                 a mixture of Speckle and Gaussian noise is considered
                 for a CT skull image. A mixture of Rician and Gaussian
                 noise is considered for MRI brain image. A mixture of
                 Speckle and Salt and Pepper noise is considered for a
                 Mammogram image. The Performance Metrics such as Peak
                 Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity
                 Index (SSIM), Image Quality Index (IQI), Universal

  abstract =     "Identification of motion in videos is a fundamental
                 task for several computer vision problems. One of the
                 main tools for motion identification is optical flow,
                 which estimates the projection of the 3D velocity of
                 the objects onto the plane of the camera. In this work,
                 we propose a differential optical flow method based on
                 the wave equation. The optical flow is computed by
                 minimizing a functional energy composed by two terms: a
                 data term based on brightness constancy and a
                 regularization term based on energy of the wave. Flow
                 is determined by solving a system of linear equations.
                 The decoupling of the pixels in the solution allows
                 solving the system by a direct or iterative approach
                 and makes the method suitable for parallelization. We
                 present the convergence conditions for our method since
                 it does not converge for all the image points. For
                 comparison purposes, we create a global video
                 descriptor based on histograms of optical flow for the
                 problem of action recognition. Despite its sparsity,
                 results show that our method improves the average
                 motion estimation, compared with classical methods. We
                 also evaluate optical flow error measures in image
                 sequences of a classical dataset for method
                 comparison.",

  abstract =     "Moving object detection and tracking have various
                 applications, including surveillance, anomaly
                 detection, vehicle navigation, etc. The literature on
                 object detection and tracking is rich enough, and there
                 exist several essential survey papers. However, the
                 research on camouflage object detection and tracking is
                 limited due to the complexity of the problem. Existing
                 work on this problem has been done based on either
                 biological characteristics of the camouflaged objects
                 or computer vision techniques. In this paper, we review
                 the existing camouflaged object detection and tracking
                 techniques using computer vision algorithms from the
                 theoretical point of view. This paper also addresses
                 several issues of interest as well as future research
                 direction in this area. We hope this paper will help
                 the reader to learn the recent advances in camouflaged

                 Identification using Visual Speech Recognition (VSR)
                 and analyze the effect of various visual speech units
                 used to transcribe the visual speech on language
                 recognition. We have proposed a new approach of word
                 recognition followed by the word N-gram language model
                 (WRWLM), which uses high-level syntactic features and
                 the word bigram language model for language
                 discrimination. Also, as opposed to the traditional
                 visemic approach, we propose a holistic approach of
                 using the signature of a whole word, referred to as a
                 ``Visual Word'' as visual speech unit for transcribing
                 visual speech. The result shows Word Recognition Rate
                 (WRR) of 88\% and Language Recognition Rate (LRR) of
                 94\% in speaker dependent cases and 58\% WRR and 77\%
                 LRR in speaker independent cases for English and
                 Marathi digit classification task. The proposed
                 approach is also evaluated for continuous speech input.
                 The result shows that the Spoken Language
                 Identification rate of 50\% is possible even though the
                 WRR using Visual Speech Recognition is below 10\%,
                 using only 1 s of speech. Also, there is an improvement
                 of about 5\% in language discrimination as compared to
                 traditional visemic approaches.",

  abstract =     "The medical field has been revolutionized by the
                 medical imaging system, which plays a key role in
                 providing information on the early life-saving
                 detection of dreadful diseases. Diabetic retinopathy is
                 a chronic visual disease that is the primary reason for
                 the vision loss in most of the patients, who left
                 undiagnosed at the initial stage. As the count of the
                 diabetic retinopathy affected people kept on
                 increasing, there is a necessity to have an automated
                 detection method. The accuracy of the diagnosis of the
                 automatic detection model is related to image
                 acquisition as well as image interpretation. In
                 contrast to this, the analysis of medical images by
                 using computerized models is still a limited task.
                 Thus, different kinds of detection methods are being
                 developed for early detection of diabetic retinopathy.
                 Accordingly, this paper focuses on the various
                 literature analyses on different detection algorithms
                 and techniques for diagnosing diabetic retinopathy.
                 Here, it reviews several research papers and exhibits
                 the significance of each detection method. This review
                 deals with the analysis on the segmentation as well as
                 classification algorithms that are included in each of
                 the researches. Besides, the adopted environment,
                 database collection and the tool for each of the
                 research are portrayed. It provides the details of the
                 performance analysis of the various diabetic detection
                 models and reveals the best value in the case of each
                 performance measure. Finally, it widens the research
                 issues that can be accomplished by future researchers
                 in the detection of diabetic retinopathy.",

                 efficient image upscaling purposes. The NPI algorithm
                 uses extended-triangular and linear scaling functions
                 to match the pixel coordinates. The triangular function
                 uses a modulo-operator with only two variables
                 representing image pixels and scaling ratio. Every two
                 variables of the linear scaling function represent the
                 source/destination image pixels and scaling ratio. The
                 traditional ceil function is used to round off
                 non-integer pixel coordinates. The {\em circshift\/}
                 and {\em padarray\/} functions are used to circularly
                 shift the elements in array output by $k$-amount in

  abstract =     "Mammography imaging is one of the most widely used
                 techniques for breast cancer screening and analysis of
                 abnormalities. However, due to some technical
                 difficulties during the time of acquisition and digital
                 storage of mammogram images, impulse noise may be
                 present. Therefore, detection and removals of impulse
                 noise from the mammogram images are very essential for
                 early detection and further diagnosis of breast cancer.
                 In this paper, a novel {\em adaptive trimmed median
                 filter\/} (ATMF) is proposed for impulse noise (salt &
                 pepper (SNP)) detection and removal with an application
                 to mammogram image denoising. Automatic switching
                 mechanism for updating the {\em Window of Interest\/}
                 (WoI) size from ( 3{\texttimes}3 ) to ( 5{\texttimes}5
                 ) or ( 7{\texttimes}7 ) is performed. The proposed
                 method is applied on publicly available mammogram
                 images corrupted with varying SNP noise densities in
                 the range 5\%--90\%. The performance of the proposed
                 method is measured by various quantitative indices like
                 {\em peak signal to noise ratio\/} (PSNR), {\em mean
                 square error\/} (MSE), {\em image enhancement factor\/}
                 (IEF) and {\em structural similarity index measure\/}
                 (SSIM). The comparative analysis of the proposed method
                 is done with respect to other state-of-the-art noise
                 removal methods viz., {\em standard median filter\/}
                 (SMF), {\em decision based median filter\/} (DMF), {\em
                 decision based unsymmetric trimmed median filter\/}
                 (DUTMF), {\em modified decision based unsymmetric
                 trimmed median filter\/} (MDUTMF) and {\em decision
                 based unsymmetric trimmed winsorized mean filter\/}
                 (DUTWMF). The superiority of the proposed method over
                 other compared methods is well evident from the
                 experimental results in terms of the quantitative
                 indices (viz., PSNR, IEF and SSIM) and also from the
                 visual quality of the denoised images. Paired {\em
                 t-test\/} confirms the statistical significance of the
                 higher PSNR values achieved by the proposed method as
                 compared to the other counterpart techniques. The
                 proposed method turned out to be very effective in
                 denoising both high and low density noises present in
                 (mammogram) images.",

                 comprising 37 and 920 images, respectively. We tested

                 brightness is an impasse between most tests of sorted
                 image realizations with low-resolution representation.
                 I have done this research through image security, which
                 will help curb crime in the coming days, and we propose
                 a novel receipt for their strong and effective
                 counterpart. Image classification using low levels of
                 the image is a difficult method, so for this, I have
                 adopted the method of automating the semantic image
                 classification of this research and used it with
                 different SVM classifiers, based on the normalized
                 weighted feature support vector machine for semantic
                 image classification. This is a novel approach given
                 that weighted feature or normalized biased feature is
                 applied and it is found that the normalized method is
                 the best. It also uses normalized weighted features to
                 compute kernel functions and train SVM. The trained SVM
                 is then used to classify new images. During training
                 and generalization, we displayed a decrease of
                 identification error rate and there have been many
                 benefits of using SVM with better performance in
                 normalized image-cataloging systems. The importance of
                 this technique and its role will be highlighted in the
                 years to come.",

                 The condition of the heart can be indicated by using
                 Heart Rate Variability (HRV) features. In this work,
                 FIR filter is used at the pre-processing phase for
                 denoising, and then statistical analysis is applied for
                 time-domain HRV feature extraction and selection. This
                 algorithm is evaluated on different records of MIT/BIH
                 Normal Sinus Rhythm and Arrhythmia database. The t
                 -test implementation in both databases shows that there
                 are significant variations in HRV features, where
                 meanRR and HR have suggestive significant ( {0.05$<$

                 overall accuracy of SVM and kNN classifiers after

  abstract =     "Fog is a natural phenomenon that affects scene
                 visibility, it reduces the contrast of the image and
                 causes color-fade. While various works in the
                 literature have addressed this issue, a fast effective
                 model is still lacking. In this paper, a single image
                 fog removal based on Geometric Mean Histogram
                 Equalization (GMHE) is proposed. In particular, the
                 proposed method is composed of three steps. The primary
                 step is to adaptively tune the performance of GMHE
                 according to the properties of the color histogram of
                 the foggy image. The obtained result then enters two
                 levels of chromaticity enhancement using the Hue
                 Saturation Value (HSV) and rotors color
                 transformations, respectively. Extensive experiments
                 demonstrate that the proposed method attains high
                 performance compared to the state-of-the-art methods in
                 terms of quality and execution time. The evaluation is
                 performed qualitatively by visual assessment, and
                 quantitatively using a set of full reference and
                 no-reference-based measures. As well, we suggest an
                 assessment criterion to combine the results of the
                 standard measures in a single score to facilitate the
                 comparisons between the different fog removal
                 methods.",

  abstract =     "Securing the confidentiality of patient information
                 using the image steganography process has gained more
                 attention in the research community. However, embedding
                 the patient information is a major task in the
                 steganography process due to the complexity in
                 identifying the pixel features. Thus, an effective Crow
                 Search Algorithm-based deep belief network (CSA-DBN) is
                 proposed for embedding the information in the medical
                 image. Initially, the appropriate pixels and the
                 features, like pixel coverage, wavelet energy, edge
                 information, and texture features, such as local binary
                 pattern (LBP) and local directional pattern (LDP), are
                 extracted from each pixel. The proposed CSA-DBN
                 utilizes the feature vector and identifies the suitable
                 pixels used for embedding. The patient information is
                 embedded into the image by using the embedding strength
                 and the DWT coefficient. Finally, the embedded
                 information is extracted using the DWT coefficient. The
                 analysis of the proposed CSA-DBN approach is done based
                 on the performance metrics, such as correlation
                 coefficient, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and
                 structural similarity index (SSIM) that acquired the
                 average values as 0.9471, 24.836 dB, and 0.4916 in the
                 presence of salt and pepper noise and 0.9741, 57.832
                 dB, and 0.9766 in the absence of noise.",

                 expense concerning the attainment of enhanced spatial
                 resolution, computational complexity and difficulties
                 in motion blur makes video SR a complex task. Moreover,
                 maintaining temporal consistency is crucial to
                 achieving an efficient and robust video SR model. This
                 paper plans to develop an intelligent SR model for
                 video frames. Initially, the video frames in RGB format
                 will be transformed into HSV. In general, the
                 improvement in video frames is done in V-channel to
                 achieve High-Resolution (HR) videos. In order to
                 enhance the RGB pixels, the current window size is
                 enhanced to high-dimensional window size. As a novelty,
                 this paper intends to formulate a high-dimensional
                 matrix with enriched pixel intensity in V-channel to
                 produce enhanced HR video frames. Estimating the
                 enriched pixels in the high-dimensional matrix is
                 complex, however in this paper, it is dealt in a
                 significant way by means of a certain process: (i)
                 motion estimation (ii) cubic spline interpolation and
                 deblurring or sharpening. As the main contribution, the
                 cubic spline interpolation process is enhanced via
                 optimization in terms of selecting the optimal
                 resolution factor and different cubic spline
                 parameters. For optimal tuning, this paper introduces a
                 new modified algorithm, which is the modification of
                 the Rider Optimization Algorithm (ROA) named Mean
                 Fitness-ROA (MF-ROA). Once the HR image is attained, it
                 combines the HSV and converts to RGB, which obtains the
                 enhanced output RGB video frame. Finally, the
                 performance of the proposed work is compared over other
                 state-of-the-art models with respect to BRISQUE, SDME

  abstract =     "Security of digital data is an important task in the
                 present era. In this paper, we propose a new scheme of
                 digital image encryption and decryption method based on
                 three-dimensional (3D) Arnold cat map (ACM) and
                 elliptic curve. In this proposed encryption method, we
                 have applied 3D ACM on the digital color image which
                 performs the dual encryption first, it performs the
                 permutation and second, it performs the substitution of
                 image pixels. After that, elliptic curve cryptography
                 (ECC) is used to encrypt the image, for this a mapping
                 method is proposed to convert the pixels of the image
                 as points on the elliptic curve. Further, a mapping
                 inverting method is proposed for decryption and then 3D
                 inverse Arnold cat map (iACM) is applied to get the
                 original image. The statistical and security analyses
                 are done on various images and the experimental results
                 show the robustness of the proposed method.",

                 developed for 3D hyperspectral images, and various
                 standards have emerged and applied to these amounts of
                 data in order to achieve the best rate-distortion
                 performance. However, high-dimensional data volume of
                 hyperspectal images is problematic for compression and
                 decompression time. Nowadays, fast compression and
                 especially fast decompression algorithms are of primary
                 importance in image data applications. In this case, we
                 present a lossy hyperspectral image compression based
                 on supervised multimodal scheme in order to improve the
                 compression results. The supervised multimodal method
                 is used to reduce the amount of data before their

  abstract =     "High resolution infrared (IR) images are often
                 required in military and industrial applications. Due
                 to the limited properties of IR imaging sensors and
                 camera lens, IR images exhibit poor spatial resolution
                 with a blur phenomenon in the edge regions. In this
                 correspondence, we develop a new super-resolution
                 (SR)-IR image reconstruction method using the residual
                 learning network in the wavelet domain (WRESNET) and
                 optimized phase stretch transform (PST). Our algorithm
                 first transforms the input low resolution (LR)-IR image
                 into its low-frequency and high-frequency subbands
                 using the discrete wavelet decomposition. Subsequently,
                 we introduce the optimized PST to operate on the LR-IR
                 image and extract the intrinsic edge structure. The PST
                 behaves differently at low-frequency and high-frequency
                 regions, thus capturing the intensity variations for
                 edge detection. We incorporate the PST extracted edge
                 map in the wavelet subbands to preserve the intrinsic
                 structure of images. The resultant subbands are further
                 refined based on the missing residuals obtained using
                 the WRESNET. The proposed method is validated through
                 quantitative and qualitative evaluations against the
                 conventional and state-of-art SR methods. Results
                 reveal that the proposed method outperforms the

  abstract =     "A topographic sheet hosts various morphological
                 features that effectively describe the terrain. This
                 multi-faced information content not only elevates human
                 perception but also provides ample direction for
                 research initiatives. Out of all possible attributes
                 based on utility, contours have wide set of
                 application. A contour is characterized by its
                 coordinate system and most importantly, its elevation
                 detail. Upon, successful attainment of these two
                 attributes, creating a fully automatic 3D projection
                 system may be achieved with relative ease. In contrast
                 to the traditional manual approach, this research
                 initiative puts forward a novel mechanism for
                 automatically localizing contour and its attributes
                 including coordinate pattern and elevation value in a
                 referenced map. To accomplish the aforementioned
                 objectives, the proposed mechanism relies on various
                 image processing techniques based on morphological
                 operations. Further, the extracted details can be used
                 to project the contours in a 3D space. This projection
                 is also called Digital Elevation Model (DEM). DEM is
                 crucial for various applications such as Terrain
                 Modeling, Hydrological Modeling, Path Optimization, to
                 name a few. Automatically and accurately created DEM
                 from topographic sheet could contribute a lot in many
                 Geographical Information System (GIS) applications.
                 This paper focuses mainly on elevation value
                 localization associated with specific contour.",

  abstract =     "In recent years, Image Registration has attracted lots
                 of attention due to its capabilities and numerous
                 applications. Various methods have been exploited to
                 map two images with the same concept but different
                 conditions. Considering the finding of the mentioned
                 map as an optimization problem, mathematical-based
                 optimization methods have been extensively employed due
                 to their real-time performances. In this paper, we
                 employed the Newton method to optimize two defined cost
                 functions. These cost functions are Sum of Square
                 Difference and Cross-Correlation. These presented
                 algorithms have fast convergence and accurate features.
                 Also, we propose an innovative treatment in order to
                 attend to one of the free parameter-rotations or scale
                 as a sole variable and the other one as the constant
                 value. The assignment is replaced through the
                 iterations for both parameters. The intuition is to
                 turn a two-variable optimization problem into a single
                 variable one in every step. Our simulation on benchmark
                 images by the means of Root Mean Square Error and
                 Mutual Information as the goodness criteria, that have
                 been extensively used in similar studies, has shown the
                 robustness and affectivity of the proposed method.",

  abstract =     "The satellite image classification plays a vital role
                 in remote sensing for analyzing the images and
                 recognizing the patterns. Supervised classification is
                 one of the methods in which pixels of an image are
                 grouped based on training samples. The uncertainty is
                 one of the major issues in a supervised classification,
                 where the pixel is classified into more than one class.
                 This is happened due to the use of spectral values
                 without considering contextual values in
                 classification. Hence, this paper proposes Cellular
                 Automata (CA)-based Classifier for Satellite Images
                 Classification, where spectral values are combined with
                 contextual values to improve the accuracy of the
                 classifier. The proposed CA classifier combines the
                 spectral values with contextual values in iteration
                 until the uncertainty is resolved. Thereby, the
                 proposed scheme improves the accuracy of the classical
                 supervised classifier of parallel piped, minimum
                 distance, DSVM and KNN classifier by 7\% at an
                 average.",

                 communication, the amount of multimedia content over
                 the internet has increased manifold in past decade.
                 This has renewed the internet of researchers in the
                 area of privacy and secure communication. This paper
                 presents a secure and robust video steganography method
                 in discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain. In order to
                 enhance the security of the proposed algorithm, the
                 frame selection process is randomized and the secret
                 data are pre-treated using Arnold's cat map. The secret
                 data are embedded in the middle band DCT coefficient
                 using two pseudo random sequences. These sequences are
                 generated using a chaotic map. We analyze the proposed
                 algorithm in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio
                 (PSNR), structural similarity index (SSIM), multi-scale
                 structural similarity index (MSSIM) and video quality
                 metric (VQM). The evaluation has been done on 107 video
                 sequences. The experimental results demonstrate that
                 the algorithm maintains acceptable video quality. The
                 robustness of the proposed method is tested under
                 Gaussian and salt and pepper noise attack using
                 correlation between original and recovered images. The
                 proposed algorithm is able to recover 90.60\% data
                 without error under salt and pepper noise ( D=0.001 )
                 attack and 87.23\% data correctly under Gaussian noise
                 attack with mean $ = 0 $ and variance $ = 0.001 $.",

                 research in multi-sensor image fusion. The main purpose
                 of this fusion is to combine thermal information of the
                 infrared image and texture information of the visible
                 image. This paper presents an image fusion framework,
                 based on parallel arrangement of sparse representation
                 (SR) and spatial frequency (SF). In the proposed
                 framework, an efficient edge-aware filter, i.e. guided
                 filter, is first employed on the visible image. Then
                 dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT) is used to
                 obtain low-pass and high-pass coefficients of images,
                 as it is shift-invariant and has high directional
                 selectivity. The low-pass coefficients are fused using
                 the SR- and SF-based fusion rules in parallel, which
                 enhances the regional features of the images. The
                 simulation results show that the proposed technique has
                 better performance when compared with conventional

                 authentication (verification and identification) with

                 improved authentication rate over unimodal systems at
                 the cost of increased concern for memory requirement
                 and template security. The proposed framework performs
                 person authentication using face and fingerprint.
                 Biometric templates are protected by hiding fingerprint
                 into face at secret locations, through blind and
                 key-based watermarking. Face features are extracted
                 from approximation sub-band of Discrete Wavelet
                 Transform, which reduces the overall working plane. The
                 proposed method also shows high robustness of biometric
                 templates against common channel attacks. Verification
                 and identification performances are evaluated using two

  abstract =     "Multifocus image fusion is a demanding research field
                 due to the utilization of modern imaging devices.
                 Generally, the scene to be captured contains objects at
                 different distances from these devices and so a set of
                 multifocus images of the scene is captured with
                 different objects in-focus. However, to improve the
                 situational awareness of the captured scene, these sets
                 of images are required to be fused together. Therefore,
                 a multifocus image fusion algorithm based on
                 Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and triangulated
                 fuzzy filter is proposed. A CNN is used to extract
                 information regarding focused pixels of input images
                 and the same is used as fusion rule for fusing the
                 input images. The focused information so extracted may
                 still need to be refined near the boundaries.
                 Therefore, asymmetrical triangular fuzzy filter with
                 the median center (ATMED) is employed to correctly
                 classify the pixels near the boundary. The advantage of
                 using this filter is to rely on precise detection
                 results since any misdetection may considerably degrade
                 the fusion quality. The performance of the proposed
                 algorithm is compared with the state-of-art image
                 fusion algorithms, both subjectively and objectively.
                 Various parameters such as edge strength ( Q ), fusion
                 loss (FL), fusion artifacts (FA), entropy ( H ),
                 standard deviation (SD), spatial frequency (SF),
                 structural similarity index measure (SSIM) and feature
                 similarity index measure (FSIM) are used to evaluate
                 the performance of the proposed algorithm. Experimental
                 results proved that the proposed fusion algorithm
                 produces a fused image that contains all-in-one focused
                 pixels and is better than those obtained using other
                 popular and latest image fusion works.",

  abstract =     "This paper proposes an image encryption technique
                 which is fast and secure. The encryption scheme is
                 designed for secure transmission of video surveillance
                 data (keyframes) over insecure network. The image
                 encryption technique employs 1D Sine--Sine system with
                 better chaotic properties than its seed map and faster
                 than higher-dimensional chaotic systems. Further,
                 design of encryption scheme is based on two permutation
                 rounds, which employs pixel swapping operation and
                 diffusion operation which is simple and provides
                 required security against plaintext, differential and
                 various other attacks. Three separate chaotic sequences
                 are generated using 1D Sine--Sine system which enhances
                 the key space of the encryption scheme. Secret keys are
                 updated dynamically with SHA-256 hash value obtained
                 from plain image. Hash values of plain image are
                 efficiently used without loss of any hash value
                 information. This makes the encryption scheme plaintext
                 sensitive and secure against plaintext attacks.
                 Performance and security aspects of encryption scheme
                 is analyzed both quantitatively using predefined
                 security metrics and qualitatively by scrutinizing the
                 internal working of encryption scheme. Computational
                 complexity of encrypting a plain image of size \(
                 rows{\texttimes} columns \) is {$ \mathcal {O} $} \(
                 rows{\texttimes}columns \) and is suitable for
                 encrypting keyframes of video for secure surveillance
                 applications.",

                 several relevant information contained in the SAR
                 images. In this paper, a despeckling algorithm using
                 the shrinkage of two-dimensional discrete orthonormal
                 S-transform (2D-DOST) coefficients in the transform
                 domain along with shock filter is proposed. Also, an
                 attempt has been made as a post-processing step to
                 preserve the edges and other details while removing the
                 speckle. The proposed strategy involves decomposing the
                 SAR image into low and high-frequency components and
                 processing them separately. A shock filter is used to
                 smooth out the small variations in low-frequency
                 components, and the high-frequency components are
                 treated with a shrinkage of 2D-DOST coefficients. The

                 biometric identity-based. Biometric identification has
                 gradually become more popular in recent years for
                 handheld devices. Privacy-preserving is a key concern
                 when biometrics is used in authentication systems in
                 the present world today. Nowadays, the declaration of
                 biometric traits has been imposed not only by the
                 government but also by many private entities. There are
                 no proper mechanisms and assurance that biometric
                 traits will be kept safe by such entities. The
                 encryption of biometric traits to avoid privacy attacks
                 is a giant problem. Hence, state-of-the-art safety and
                 security technological solutions must be devised to
                 prevent the loss and misuse of such biometric traits.
                 In this paper, we have identified different cancelable
                 biometrics methods with the possible attacks on the
                 biometric traits and directions on possible

                 Discrete Cosine Transformation and Index of max

                 sparse representation. The main objective of this paper
                 is to provide a comprehensive study and highlight the
                 challenges in the area of sparse representation which
                 will be helpful for researchers. Also, the current

                 image reconstruction, namely, image super-resolution,
                 image denoising and image restoration are discussed.
                 This survey on sparse representation categorizes the
                 existing methods into three groups: dictionary learning

                 useful method for detecting the abnormalities in the
                 mammograms. The proposed method uses four phases such
                 as pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction and
                 classification. In the pre-processing phase, median
                 filter is utilized to enhance the quality of an image.
                 The pre-processed image is then segmented by fuzzy C
                 means (FCM). Three different features such as
                 Gaussian--Hermite moments (GHM), Jacobi moments and
                 pseudo Zernike moments (PZM) are extracted from the

                 directed by photometric properties of the candidate
                 pixels. As the photometric properties of reference
                 image (left image) pixel and its neighbor's pixel are
                 similar in most cases, so the upcoming corresponding

                 analyzed for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative
                 disorders. In this endeavor, we used enhanced
                 independent component analysis to perform segmentation
                 of gray matter in noise-free and noisy environments. We
                 used modified k -means, expectation--maximization and
                 hidden Markov random field to provide better spatial
                 relation to overcome inhomogeneity, noise and low
                 contrast. Our objective is achieved using the following
                 two steps: (i) Irrelevant tissues are stripped from the
                 MRI using skull stripping algorithm. In this algorithm,
                 sequence of threshold, morphological operations and
                 active contour are applied to strip the unwanted
                 tissues. (ii) Enhanced independent component analysis
                 is used to perform segmentation of gray matter. The
                 proposed approach is applied on both T1w MRI and T2w
                 MRI images at different noise environments such as salt
                 and pepper noise, speckle noise and Rician noise. We
                 evaluated the performance of the approach using Jaccard
                 index, Dice coefficient and accuracy. The parameters
                 are further compared with existing frameworks. This
                 approach gives better segmentation of gray matter for
                 the diagnosis of atrophy changes in brain MRI.",

  abstract =     "Chromosomes are the genetic information carriers. Any
                 modification to the structure or the number of
                 chromosomes results in a medical condition termed as
                 genetic defect. In order to uncover the genetic
                 defects, the chromosomes are imaged during the cell
                 division process. The images thus generated are termed
                 as metaspread images and are used for identifying the
                 genetic defects. It has been observed that the
                 metaspread images generally suffer from intensity
                 inhomogeneity and the chromosomes are also present in
                 varied orientations, and as a result finding genetic
                 defects from such images is a tedious process.
                 Therefore, cytogeneticists manually select the images
                 that can be used for the purpose of uncovering the
                 genetic defects and the generation of the karyotype. In
                 the proposed approach, a novel method is being
                 presented using DenseNet architecture of the
                 convolutional neural networks-based classifier, which
                 classifies the human metaspread images into two
                 distinct categories, namely, analyzable and
                 non-analyzable based on the orientation of the
                 chromosomes present in the metaspread images. This
                 classification process will help to select the most
                 prominent metaspread images for karyotype generation
                 that has least amount of touching and overlapping
                 chromosomes. The proposed method is novel in comparison
                 to the earlier methods as it works on any type of
                 image, be it G band images, MFISH images or the
                 Q-banded images. The proposed method has been trained
                 by using a ground truth of 156{\nobreakspace}40750
                 metaspread images. The proposed classifier has been
                 able to achieve an error rate of 1.46\%.",

                 for the segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI)
                 of the brain. Brain MRI segmentation is to be familiar
                 with the anatomical structure, to recognize the
                 deformities, and to distinguish different tissues which
                 help in treatment planning and diagnosis. Nature's
                 inspired population-based evolutionary algorithms are
                 extremely popular for a wide range of applications due
                 to their best solutions. Teaching Learning Based
                 Optimization (TLBO) is an advanced population-based
                 evolutionary algorithm designed based on Teaching and
                 Learning process of a classroom. TLBO uses common
                 controlling parameters and it won't require
                 algorithm-specific parameters. TLBO is more appropriate
                 to optimize the real variables which are fuzzy valued,
                 computationally efficient, and does not require
                 parameter tuning. In this work, the pixels of the brain
                 image are automatically grouped into three distinct
                 homogeneous tissues such as White Matter (WM), Gray
                 Matter (GM), and Cerebro Spinal Fluid (CSF) using the
                 TLBO algorithm. The methodology includes skull
                 stripping and filtering in the pre-processing stage.
                 The outcomes for 10 MR brain images acquired by
                 utilizing the proposed strategy proved that the three
                 brain tissues are segmented accurately. The
                 segmentation outputs are compared with the ground truth
                 images and high values are obtained for the measure's
                 sensitivity, specificity, and segmentation accuracy.
                 Four different approaches, namely Particle Swarm
                 Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Bacterial
                 Foraging Algorithm (BFA), and Electromagnetic
                 Optimization (EMO) are likewise implemented to compare
                 with the results of the proposed methodology. From the

  abstract =     "Images are widely used in engineering. But, some
                 images such as medical ultrasound images are mainly
                 degraded by an intrinsic noise called speckle.
                 Therefore, de-speckling is a main pre-processing stage
                 for degraded images. In this paper, we suggest three
                 phases and three denoising filters. In the first phase,
                 the coefficient of variation is computed from the noisy
                 image. Next, fuzzy c-means (FCM) is applied to the
                 coefficients of variation. Applying FCM leads to the
                 fuzzy classification of image regions. Next, the second
                 phase is a hybrid of the three denoising filters. Fast
                 bilateral filter (BF) for homogeneous regions, improved
                 the adaptive wiener filters (AWFs) and wavelet filter
                 that are applied on homogeneous, detail and edge
                 regions, respectively. The proposed improved AWF has
                 been developed from the AWF. In the third phase, the
                 output image is evaluated by the fuzzy logic approach.
                 Thus, with three phases, the proposed method has a
                 better image detail preservation compared to some other
                 standard methods. The experimental outcomes show that
                 the proposed denoising algorithm is able to preserve

  abstract =     "The aim of any fingerprint image compression technique
                 is to achieve a maximum amount of compression with an
                 adequate quality compressed image which is suitable for
                 fingerprint recognition. Currently available techniques
                 in the literature provide 100\% recognition only up to
                 a compression ratio of 180:1. The performance of any
                 identification technique inherently depends on the
                 techniques with which images are compressed. To improve
                 the identification accuracy while the images are highly
                 compressed, a multiwavelet-based identification
                 approach is proposed in this paper. Both decimated and
                 undecimated coefficients of SA4 (Symmetric
                 Antisymmetric) multiwavelet are used as features for
                 identification. A study is conducted on the
                 identification performance of the multiwavelet
                 transform with various sizes of images compressed using
                 both wavelets and multiwavelets for fair comparison. It
                 was noted that for images with size power of 2, the
                 decimated multiwavelet-based compression and
                 identification give a better performance compared to
                 other combinations of compression/identification
                 techniques whereas for images with size not a power of
                 2, the undecimated multiwavelet transform gives a
                 better performance compared to other techniques. A
                 100\% identification accuracy was achieved for the
                 images from NIST-4, NITGEN, FVC2002DB3\_B,
                 FVC2004DB2\_B and FVC2004DB1\_B databases for
                 compression ratios up to 520:1, 210:1, 445:1, 545:1 and

  abstract =     "Reconstructing and repairing of corrupted or missing
                 parts after object removal in digital video is an
                 important trend in artwork restoration. Video
                 inpainting is an active subject in video processing,
                 which deals with the recovery of the corrupted or
                 missing data. Most previous video inpainting approaches
                 consume more time in extensive search to find the best
                 patch to restore the damaged frames. In addition to
                 that, most of them cannot handle the gradual and sudden
                 illumination changes, dynamic background, full object
                 occlusion, and object changes in scale. In this paper,
                 we present a complete video inpainting framework
                 without the extensive search process. The proposed
                 framework consists of a segmentation stage based on
                 low-resolution version and background subtraction. A
                 background inpainting stage is applied to restore the
                 damaged background regions after static or moving
                 object removal based on the gray-level co-occurrence
                 matrix (GLCM). A foreground inpainting stage is based
                 on objects repository. GLCM is used to complete the
                 moving occluded objects during the occlusion. The
                 proposed method reduces the inpainting time from hours
                 to a few seconds and maintains the spatial and temporal
                 consistency. It works well when the background has
                 clutter or fake motion, and it can handle the changes
                 in object size and in posture. Moreover, it is able to
                 handle full occlusion and illumination changes.",

  abstract =     "The liver is an important organ in human body with
                 certain variations in its edges, color, shape and pixel
                 intensity distribution. These uncertainties may be
                 because of various liver pathologies, hereditary or
                 both. Along with it, liver has close proximity to its
                 nearby organs. Hence, identifying liver in scanned
                 images is a challenging step in image processing. This
                 task becomes more imprecise when liver diseases are
                 present at the edges. The liver segmentation is
                 prerequisite for liver volumetry, computer-based
                 surgery planning, liver surgery modelling, surgery
                 training, 3D view generation, etc. The proposed hybrid
                 segmentation method overcomes the problems and
                 identifies liver boundary in Computed-Tomography (CT)
                 scan images accurately. In this paper, the first step
                 is to study statistics of pixel intensity distribution
                 within liver image, and novel methodology is designed
                 to obtain thresholds. Then, threshold-based
                 segmentation is applied which separates the liver from
                 abdominal CT scan images. In the second step, liver
                 edge is corrected using improved chain code and
                 Bresenham pixel interconnection methods. This provides
                 a precise liver image. The initial points are located
                 inside the liver region without user interventions.
                 These initial points evolve outwardly using Fast
                 Marching Method (FMM), identifying the liver boundary
                 accurately in CT abdominal scan images.",

                 residue-immune phase unwrapping algorithms have been

                 license plates (LPs) is an arduous task in dirty and
                 muddy situations. This paper proposes an efficient
                 method for real-time computer vision-based recognition
                 of Bangla vehicle LPs using contour analysis and
                 prediction algorithms. The method initially applies
                 gray scaling the input RGB images, histogram
                 equalization to improve the grayscale image quality,
                 edge detection using Sobel edge detector, and adaptive
                 thresholding to convert it to a binary image. The
                 system localizes the vehicle LP based on the maximum
                 rectangular contour area and converts it into a
                 predefined size. Noise removal technique using
                 morphological dilation and erosion operation is used,
                 followed by Gaussian filtering on binary image to
                 improve the image quality further. The system clusters
                 the two-lined LP into seven clusters. The
                 sub-clustering is applied on specific clusters and
                 makes 68 individual sub-clusters. The system extracts
                 vector contour (VC) from each 68 individual classes.
                 After VC extraction, the system normalizes it into a q
                 predefined length. The system applies inter co-relation
                 function (ICF) to categorize each sub-cluster to its
                 previously defined individual class. For that, it
                 calculates the maximum similarity between test and
                 previously trained VCs. The system applies the
                 dependency prediction algorithm in parallel to predict
                 the whole string (district name) in the cluster-1 based
                 on previously categorized class or classes (starting
                 character or characters of the district part). (Metro)
                 or (null) from cluster-2, ``-'' (hyphen) from cluster-3
                 and 6 are predicted automatically as their positions
                 are fixed. The system is trained using 68 classes in
                 which each class contains 100 samples generated by the
                 augmentation technique. The system is tested using
                 another set of 68 classes with a total of
                 68{\texttimes}100=6800 images acquiring the recognition
                 accuracy of 96.62\% with the mean computational cost of
                 8.363 ms/f. The system is also tested using 500 vehicle
                 whole Bangla LPs achieving the mean whole LP

  abstract =     "A long range observing systems can be sturdily
                 affected by scintillations. These scintillations are
                 caused by changes in atmospheric conditions. In recent
                 years, various turbulence mitigation approaches for
                 turbulence mitigation have been exhibiting a promising
                 nature. In this paper, we propose an effectual method
                 to alleviate the effects of atmospheric distortion on
                 observed images and video sequences. These sequences
                 are mainly affected through floating air turbulence
                 which can severely degrade the image quality. The
                 existing algorithms primarily focus on the removal of
                 turbulence and provides a solution only for static
                 scenes, where there is no moving entity (real motion).
                 As in the traditional SGL algorithm, the updated frame
                 is iteratively used to correct the turbulence. This
                 approach reduces the turbulence effect. However, it
                 imposes some artifacts on the real motion that blurs
                 the object. The proposed method is an alteration of the
                 existing Sobolev Gradient and Laplacian (SGL) algorithm
                 to eliminate turbulence. It eliminates the ghost
                 artifact formed on moving object in the existing
                 approach. The proposed method alleviates turbulence
                 without harming the moving objects in the scene. The
                 method is demonstrated on significantly distorted
                 sequences provided by OTIS and compared with the SGL
                 technique. The information conveyed in the scene
                 becomes clearly visible through the method on exclusion
                 of turbulence. The proposed approach is evaluated using
                 standard performance measures such as MSE, PSNR and
                 SSIM. The evaluation results depict that the proposed
                 method outperforms the existing state-of-the-art
                 approaches for all three standard performance
                 measures.",

                 humans. In the absence of a sense of security at one's
                 workplace, home or anywhere else, people feel uneasy
                 and vulnerable. With the improvement of modern
                 technology, along with the lack of time at hand, the
                 need for faster, efficient, accurate as well as
                 low-cost security techniques is more than ever. Image
                 Captioning for Video Surveillance System is proposed to
                 develop visual systems that generate contextual
                 descriptions about objects in images, and then use
                 these descriptions to provide information of the scene
                 that needs to be secured. The proposed system uses a
                 neural network model composed of a Convolutional Neural
                 Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to
                 caption the incoming video feed. The main significance
                 of this paper is in integrating the system with
                 Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), which is applied on
                 the incoming video feed, so that the compressed LL band
                 frames transferred wirelessly to the model are smaller
                 in comparison, leading to less transfer time and faster
                 processing by the model.",

  abstract =     "In diverse computer applications, the analysis of
                 image content plays a key role. This image content
                 might be either textual (like text appearing in the
                 images) or visual (like shape, color, texture). These
                 two image contents consist of image's basic features
                 and therefore turn out to be as the major advantage for
                 any of the implementation. Many of the art models are
                 based on the visual search or annotated text for
                 Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) models. There is
                 more demand toward multitasking, a new method needs to
                 be introduced with the combination of both textual and
                 visual features. This paper plans to develop the
                 intelligent CBIR system for the collection of different
                 benchmark texture datasets. Here, a new descriptor
                 named Information Oriented Angle-based Local
                 Tri-directional Weber Patterns (IOA-LTriWPs) is
                 adopted. The pattern is operated not only based on
                 tri-direction and eight neighborhood pixels but also
                 based on four angles 0\textdegree, 45\textdegree,
                 90\textdegree, and 135\textdegree. Once the patterns
                 concerning tri-direction, eight neighborhood pixels,
                 and four angles are taken, the best patterns are
                 selected based on maximum mutual information. Moreover,
                 the histogram computation of the patterns provides the
                 final feature vector, from which the new weighted
                 feature extraction is performed. As a new contribution,
                 the novel weight function is optimized by the Improved
                 MVO on random basis (IMVO-RB), in such a way that the
                 precision and recall of the retrieved image is high.
                 Further, the proposed model has used the logarithmic
                 similarity called Mean Square Logarithmic Error (MSLE)
                 between the features of the query image and trained
                 images for retrieving the concerned images. The
                 analyses on diverse texture image datasets have
                 validated the accuracy and efficiency of the developed

  abstract =     "Line drawing and screentoning are two distinct areas
                 of study in non-photorealistic rendering, where the
                 former emphasizes object contours, while the latter
                 conveys tone and shading information on object
                 surfaces. As these two problems are concerned with
                 different yet equally important features, either method
                 seldom delivers a complete description of the scene
                 when used alone. Yet, research community has largely
                 treated them as separate problems and thus resulted in
                 two entirely different sets of solutions, complicating
                 both implementation and usage. In this paper, we
                 present a stylistic image binarization method called
                 {\em hybrid difference of Gaussians (HDoG)\/} that
                 performs both line drawing and screentoning in a
                 unified framework. Our method is based upon two
                 different extensions of DoG operator: one for line
                 extraction, and the other for tone description. In
                 particular, we propose an extension called {\em
                 adaptive DoG}, that uses luminance as weight to
                 automatically generate screentone that adapts to the
                 local tone. Experimental results demonstrate that our
                 hybrid method effectively generates aesthetically
                 pleasing image binarizations that encompass both line
                 drawing and screentoning, closely resembling
                 professional pen-and-ink illustrations. Also, being
                 based on Gaussian filtering, our method is very fast
                 and also easy to implement.",

                 overheads of HDR images are expensive to be used in

                 subspace. In effect, it also produces ringing artifacts
                 near edges. We found that the noise sensitivity of

                 their magnitude{\nobreakspace}40 --- reduces with

                 estimated the corresponding magnitude by Joint
                 Bilateral Filtering (JBF) technique. In contrast to the
                 traditional hard thresholding, the coefficients in the
                 finest scale is estimated using Bilateral Filtering
                 (BF). The proposed filtering approach in the finest

                 way of reminiscing old memories and past events.
                 However, it becomes difficult to preserve the quality
                 of such ancient documents and old photographs for an
                 extremely long time, as these images usually get

                 is a strenuous and an enduring process. This paper
                 attempts to leverage the generative modeling

  abstract =     "For handling digital images for various applications,
                 image denoising is considered as a fundamental
                 pre-processing step. Diverse image denoising algorithms
                 have been introduced in the past few decades. The main
                 intent of this proposal is to develop an effective
                 image denoising model on the basis of internal and
                 external patches. This model adopts Non-local means
                 (NLM) for performing the denoising, which uses
                 redundant information of the image in pixel or spatial
                 domain to reduce the noise. While performing the image
                 denoising using NLM, ``denoising an image patch using
                 the other noisy patches within the noisy image is done
                 for internal denoising and denoising a patch using the
                 external clean natural patches is done for external
                 denoising''. Here, the selection of optimal block from
                 the entire datasets including internal noisy images and
                 external clean natural images is decided by a new
                 hybrid optimization algorithm. The two renowned
                 optimization algorithms Chicken Swarm Optimization
                 (CSO), and Dragon Fly Algorithm (DA) are merged, and
                 the new hybrid algorithm Rooster-based Levy Updated DA
                 (RLU-DA) is adopted. The experimental results in terms
                 of some relevant performance measures show the
                 promising results of the proposed model with remarkable
                 stability and high accuracy.",

  abstract =     "Image segmentation is a prime operation to understand
                 the content of images. Multilevel thresholding is
                 applied in image segmentation because of its speed and
                 accuracy. In this paper, a novel multilevel
                 thresholding algorithm based on Cuckoo search (CS) is
                 introduced. One of the major drawbacks of metaheuristic
                 algorithms is the stagnation phenomenon which leads to
                 a fall into local optimums and premature convergence.
                 To overcome this shortcoming, the idea of Darwinian
                 theory is incorporated with CS algorithm to increase
                 the diversity and quality of the individuals without
                 decreasing the convergence speed of CS algorithm. A
                 policy of encouragement and punishment is considered to
                 lead searching agents in the search space and reduce
                 the computational time. The algorithm is implemented
                 based on dividing the population into specified groups
                 and each group tries to find a better location. Ten
                 test images are selected to verify the ability of our
                 algorithm using the famous energy curve method. Two
                 popular entropies criteria, Otsu and Kapur, are
                 employed to evaluate the capability of the introduced
                 algorithm. Eight different search algorithms are also
                 implemented and compared with our method. Experimental
                 results manifest that DCS is a powerful tool for
                 multilevel thresholding and the obtained results
                 outperform the CS algorithm and other heuristic search
                 methods.",

  abstract =     "Due to the haze weather, the outdoor image quality is
                 degraded, which reduces the image contrast, thereby
                 reducing the efficiency of computer vision systems such
                 as target recognition. There are two aspects of the
                 traditional algorithm based on the principle of dark
                 channel to be improved. First, the restored images
                 obviously contain color distortion in the sky region.
                 Second, the white regions in the scene easily affect
                 the atmospheric light estimated. To solve the above
                 problems, this paper proposes a single-image dehazing
                 and image segmentation method via dark channel prior
                 (DCP) and adaptive threshold. The sky region of hazing
                 image is relatively bright, so sky region does not meet
                 the DCP. The sky part is separated by the adaptive
                 threshold, then the scenery and the sky area are
                 dehazed, respectively. In order to avoid the
                 interference caused by white objects to the estimation
                 of atmospheric light, we estimate the value of
                 atmospheric light using the separated area of the sky.
                 The algorithm in this paper makes up for the
                 shortcoming that the algorithm based on the DCP cannot
                 effectively process the hazing image with sky region,
                 avoiding the effect of white objects on estimating
                 atmospheric light. Experimental results show the
                 feasibility and effectiveness of the improved
                 algorithm.",

  abstract =     "In digital images, Copy-Move Forgery is a general kind
                 of forgery techniques. The process of replicating one
                 part of the image within the same image is termed as
                 copy-move forgery. An effective and reliable approach
                 needs to be developed for identifying these forgeries
                 for restoring the image trustworthiness. The main
                 intent of this paper is to sort out the diverse
                 copy-move image forgery detection models. This survey
                 makes an effective literature analysis on a set of
                 literal works from the past 10 years. The analysis is
                 focused on categorizing the models based on
                 transformation models, machine learning algorithms, and
                 other advanced techniques. The main contribution and

                 platforms utilized by different copy-move forgery

                 utilization of optimization algorithms on copy-move
                 image forgery detection has also been studied. Finally,

  abstract =     "Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is a technique
                 for images retrieval based on their visual features,
                 i.e. induced by their pixels. The images are,
                 classically, described by the image feature vectors.
                 Those vectors reflect the texture, color or a
                 combination of them. The accuracy of the CBIR system is
                 highly influenced by the (i) definition of the image
                 feature vector describing the image, (ii) indexing and
                 (iii) retrieval process. In this paper, we propose a
                 new CBIR system entitled ISE (Image Search Engine). Our
                 ISE system defines the optimum combination of color and
                 texture features as an image feature vector, including
                 the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and
                 employing an Interactive Genetic Approach (GA) for the
                 indexing process. The performance analysis shows that
                 our suggested PCM (Proposed Combination Method)
                 upgrades the average precision metric from 66.6\% to
                 89.30\% for the ``Food'' category color histogram, from
                 77.7\% to 100\% concerning CCVs (Color Coherence
                 Vectors) for the ``Flower'' category and from 58\% to
                 87.65\% regarding the DCD (Dominant Color Descriptor)
                 for the ``Building'' category using the Corel dataset.
                 Besides, our ISE system showcases an average precision
                 of 98.23\%, which is significantly higher than other
                 CBIR systems presented in related works.",

                 with the recent developments in sensor technology and
                 fast pose estimation algorithms. The existing research
                 works have attempted to address the action recognition
                 problem by considering either spatial or temporal
                 dynamics of the actions. But, both the features
                 (spatial and temporal) would contribute to solve the
                 problem. In this paper, we address the action
                 recognition problem using 3D skeleton data by
                 introducing eight Joint Distance Maps, referred to as
                 Spatio Temporal Joint Distance Maps (ST-JDMs), to
                 capture spatio temporal variations from skeleton data
                 for action recognition. Among these, four maps are
                 defined in spatial domain and remaining four are in
                 temporal domain. After construction of ST-JDMs from an
                 action sequence, they are encoded into color images.
                 This representation enables us to fine-tune the
                 Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for action
                 classification. The empirical results on the two
                 datasets, UTD MHAD and NTU RGB+D, show that ST-JDMs
                 outperforms the other state-of-the-art skeleton-based
                 approaches by achieving recognition accuracies 91.63\%

                 Often, exhaustive tests are required so as to arrive on
                 a conclusion regarding skin condition, the patient may
                 be affected with. Thus, an expert system is required
                 that has the ability to identify diseases and propose
                 the required diagnosis. Presently, only a few solutions
                 are available for diagnosis of skin diseases using
                 computerized system but this is an era which is under
                 extensive research and can be developed further. As the
                 existing system has certain loopholes, this system
                 attempts to override the present problems by applying a
                 different approach. As a result of comparison of
                 results from numerous research papers, an expert system
                 has been developed by choosing residual neural networks
                 (ResNet) and this system can be used to aid skin
                 specialists in identifying and diagnosing various major
                 diseases of skin like (Eczema, Psoriasis & Lichen
                 Planus, Benign Tumors, Fungal Infections and Viral
                 Infections) in more effective and efficient manner. The
                 causes for identified skin disease can be outlined
                 through this system and treatment can be provided. We
                 have used Python language for implementing the proposed
                 expert system that uses a 50-layer ResNets for training
                 a dataset that has been taken from DERMNET. We achieved
                 an accuracy of 95\% using ResNet for training of the
                 model and prediction of results at an epoch value of
                 10.",

  abstract =     "In recent years, many improvements have been made in
                 image processing techniques which aid pathologists to
                 identify cancer cells. Nowadays, convolutional neural
                 networks (CNNs), also known as deep learning algorithms
                 have become popular for the applications of image
                 processing and examination in histopathology image
                 (tissue and cell images). This study aims to present
                 the detection of histopathology images associated to
                 detection of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and
                 non-IDC in breast. However, detection of IDC is a
                 challenging task in histopathology image which needs
                 deep examination as cancer comprises of minor entities
                 with a diversity of forms which can be easily mixed up
                 with different objects or facts contained in image.
                 Hence, the proposed study suggests three types of CNN
                 architectures which is called 8-layer CNNs, 9-layer
                 CNNs and 19-layer CNNs, respectively, in the detecting
                 IDC using histopathology images. The purpose of the
                 study is to identify IDC from histopathology images by
                 taking proper layer in deep layer CNNs with the maximum
                 accuracy, highest sensitivity, precision and least
                 classification error. The result shows better
                 performance for deep layer-convolutional neural
                 networks architecture by using 19-layer CNNs.",

  abstract =     "In this modern world of biomedical medicine, the
                 classification of breast density has been considered a
                 very important part of the process of breast diagnosis.
                 Furthering the same research, this research aims to
                 determine the patient's breast density by mammogram
                 image with the help of modern techniques such as
                 computerized devices and machine learning algorithms,
                 which will greatly help the radiologist. To carry out
                 this process, this research paper introduces a
                 Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model of deep
                 learning that will work as a basis for waveform
                 conversion and fine-tune. This deep learning model will
                 prove effective in automatically classifying a
                 patient's breast density. With the help of this method,
                 the last two layers which are fully connected are
                 removed and joined with two newly formed layers. This
                 would have helped in addressing a pre-trained AlexNet
                 model that further improved the classification process.
                 In this model, the original or preprocessed images are
                 used at level 1 of the input (which is in sharp
                 contrast to the usual methods based on the CNN model),
                 which also makes the model compatible with the use of
                 redundant wavelet coefficients. Because in the field of
                 radiologists it is very important to underline the
                 difference between scattered density and heterogeneous
                 density, so the main objective of this research is
                 focused on this end. As the proposed method has an
                 accuracy of 82.2\%, it shows a better performance. This
                 research paper further compares the effectiveness and
                 performance of the proposed method to traditional
                 fine-tuning CNN models, with satisfactory results. The
                 comparative results of the proposed method suggest that
                 the proposed method is in the field of radiologists
                 representing a helpful tool. This method may be
                 intended to act as a second eye for doctors in the
                 medical field with the intention of classifying the
                 categories of breast density in the patient during
                 breast cancer screening.",

                 brain tumor in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images
                 using the U-Net model, then evaluate parameters that
                 indicate the performance of the model. We also discuss

                 description of the tumor regarding its position and
                 size. Here, we consider the case of Gliomas, one of the
                 types of brain tumors, which occur in common and can be
                 fatal depending on their position and growth. U-Net is
                 a model of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) which has
                 U-shaped architecture. MRI employs a non-invasive

                 of the brain tumor, this imaging method can be
                 beneficial. Manual delineation of tumors from brain MRI
                 is laborious, time-consuming and can vary from expert

  abstract =     "Breast cancer is dangerous in women. It is generally
                 found after the symptoms appear. Detecting the breast
                 cancer at an early stage and understanding the
                 treatment are the most important strategies to prevent
                 death from cancer. Generally, for detection of breast
                 cancer, breast Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) takes
                 place. It is one of the best approaches to detect tumor
                 in women. In this research paper, a combination of
                 selection methods for seed region growing image
                 segmentation is suggested to detect breast tumor. The
                 suggested method has been divided into following parts:
                 First, the pre-processing of breast image is performed.
                 Second, the automatic threshold for binarization
                 process is calculated. Third, the number of seed points
                 and its position in the breast image are determined
                 automatically using density of pixels value. Fourth, a
                 method for calculation of threshold value is proposed
                 for the purpose of region creation in seed region
                 growing. For the evaluation purpose, the proposed
                 method was applied and tested on the RIDER MRI breast
                 dataset from National Biomedical Imaging Archive
                 (NBIA). After the test was performed, it was observed
                 that proposed algorithm gives 90\% accuracy, 88\% True
                 Negative Fraction, 91\% True Positive Fraction, 10\%
                 Misclassification Rate, 94\% Precision and 86\%
                 Relative Overlap which is better than other existing
                 methods. It not only gives better evaluation measure
                 but also provides segmentation method for multiple
                 tumor detection.",

                 a weird look by destroying its originality. This paper

                 supplanting their cumulative distribution with

                 security and privacy aspects in each and every field.
                 In addition to numerous authentication methods,
                 biometrics has been popularized as it relies on one's
                 individual behavioral and physical characters. In this
                 context, numerous unimodal and multimodal biometrics
                 have been proposed and tested in the last decade. In
                 this paper, authors have presented a comprehensive
                 survey of the existing biometric systems while
                 highlighting their respective challenges, advantage and
                 limitations. The paper also discusses the present
                 biometric technology market value, its scope, and
                 practical applications in vivid sectors. The goal of
                 this review is to offer a compact outline of various
                 advances in biometrics technology with potential
                 applications using unimodal and multimodal
                 bioinformatics are discussed that would prove to offer

                 that produce different types of images. Based on camera

                 automatic annotation in archeological images. These
                 steps are feature extraction and feature selection. We
                 focus our research on archeological images which are
                 very much studied in our days. It presents the most
                 important steps in the process of automatic annotation
                 in an image. Feature extraction techniques are applied
                 to get the feature that will be used in classifying and
                 recognizing the images. Also, the selection of
                 characteristics reduces the number of unattractive
                 characteristics. However, we reviewed various images of
                 feature extraction techniques to analyze the
                 archaeological images. Each feature represents one or
                 more feature descriptors in the archeological images.
                 We focus on the descriptor shape of the archaeological
                 objects extraction in the images using contour
                 method-based shape recognition of the monuments. So,
                 the feature selection stage serves to acquire the most

                 application of methods of selection of the
                 characteristics of the archaeological images. Finally,

                 processing capability of current age sensors limits the
                 desired details in the acquired image for variety of
                 remote sensing applications. Pan-sharpening is a
                 prominent scheme to integrate the essential spatial
                 details inferred from panchromatic (PAN) image and the
                 desired spectral information of multispectral (MS)
                 image. This paper presents an effective two-stage
                 pan-sharpening method to produce high resolution
                 multispectral (HRMS) image. The proposed method is
                 based on the premise that the HRMS image can be
                 formulated as an amalgam of spectral and spatial
                 components. The spectral components are estimated by
                 processing the interpolated MS image with a filter
                 approximated with modulation transfer function (MTF) of
                 the sensor. Sparse representation theory is adapted to
                 construct the spatial components. The high-frequency
                 details extracted from the PAN image and its low
                 resolution variant are utilized to construct dual
                 dictionaries. The dictionaries are jointly learned by
                 an efficient training algorithm to enhance the
                 adaptability. The hypothesis of sparse coefficients
                 invariance over scales is also incorporated to reckon
                 the appropriate spatial information. Further, an
                 iterative filtering mechanism is developed to enhance
                 the quality of fused image. Four distinct datasets
                 generated from QuickBird, IKONOS, Pl{\'e}iades and
                 WorldView-2 sensors are used for experimentation. The
                 comprehensive assessment at reduced-scale and
                 full-scale persuade the effectiveness of proposed
                 method in the retention of spectral information and
                 intensification of the spatial details.",

  abstract =     "Human activity recognition from video sequences has
                 emerged recently as pivotal research area due to its
                 importance in a large number of applications such as
                 real-time surveillance monitoring, healthcare, smart
                 homes, security, behavior analysis, and many more.
                 However, lots of challenges also exist such as
                 intra-class variations, object occlusion, varying
                 illumination condition, complex background, camera
                 motion, etc. In this work, we introduce a novel feature
                 descriptor based on the integration of magnitude and
                 orientation information of optical flow and histogram
                 of oriented gradients which gives an efficient and
                 robust feature vector for the recognition of human
                 activities for real-world environment. In the proposed
                 approach first we computed magnitude and orientation of
                 the optical flow separately then a local-oriented
                 histogram of magnitude and orientation of motion flow
                 vectors are computed using histogram of oriented
                 gradients followed by linear combination feature fusion
                 strategy. The resultant features are then processed by
                 a multiclass Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier
                 for activity recognition. The experimental results are
                 performed over different publically available benchmark
                 video datasets such as UT interaction, CASIA, and
                 HMDB51 datasets. The effectiveness of the proposed
                 approach is evaluated in terms of six different
                 performance parameters such as accuracy, precision,
                 recall, specificity, F -measure, and Matthew's
                 correlation coefficient (MCC). To show the significance
                 of the proposed method, it is compared with the other
                 state-of-the-art methods. The experimental result shows

                 outcome also efficient in terms of memory requirements

                 effectively utilizes the concepts of block truncation

                 BTC method is applied to observe the binary watermark
                 image corresponding to its gray-scale image. Whereas,
                 the LWT is incorporated to transform the cover image
                 from spatial coordinates to corresponding transform
                 coordinates. In this, a quantization-based approach for

  abstract =     "Multilevel thresholding is a basic method in image
                 segmentation. The conventional image multilevel
                 thresholding algorithms are computationally expensive
                 when the number of decomposed segments is high. In this
                 paper, a novel and powerful technique is suggested for
                 Crow Search Algorithm (CSA) devoted to segmentation
                 applications. The main contribution of our work is to
                 adapt Darwinian evolutionary theory with heuristic CSA.
                 First, the population is divided into specified groups
                 and each group tries to find better location in the
                 search space. A policy of encouragement and punishment
                 is set on searching agents to avoid being trapped in
                 the local optimum and premature solutions. Moreover, to
                 increase the convergence rate of the proposed method, a
                 gray-scale map is applied to out-boundary agents. Ten
                 test images are selected to measure the ability of our
                 algorithm, compared with the famous procedure, energy
                 curve method. Two popular entropies i.e. Otsu and Kapur
                 are employed to evaluate the capability of the
                 introduced algorithm. Eight different search algorithms
                 are implemented and compared to the introduced method.
                 The obtained results show that our method, compared
                 with the original CSA, and other heuristic search
                 methods, can extract multi-level thresholding more
                 efficiently.",

  abstract =     "Finger-vein identification, a biometric technology
                 that uses vein patterns in the human finger to identify
                 people. In recent years, it has received increasing
                 attention due to its tremendous advantages compared to
                 fingerprint characteristics. Moreover,
                 Deep-Convolutional Neural Networks (Deep-CNN) appeared
                 to be highly successful for feature extraction in the
                 finger-vein area, and most of the proposed works focus
                 on new Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models, which
                 require huge databases for training, a solution that
                 may be more practicable in real world applications, is
                 to reuse pretrained Deep-CNN models. In this paper, a
                 finger-vein identification system is proposed, which
                 uses Squeezenet pretrained Deep-CNN model as feature
                 extractor from the left and the right finger vein
                 patterns. Then, combines this Deep-based features by
                 using a feature-level Discriminant Correlation Analysis
                 (DCA) to reduce feature dimensions and to give the most
                 relevant features. Finally, these composite feature
                 vectors are used as input data for a Support Vector
                 Machine (SVM) classifier, in an identification stage.
                 This method is tested on two widely available finger
                 vein databases, namely SDUMLA-HMT and FV-USM.
                 Experimental results show that the proposed finger vein
                 identification system achieves significant high mean
                 accuracy rates.",

  abstract =     "Day by day, the requirement for secure communication
                 among users is rising in a digital world, to protect
                 the message from the undesirable users. Steganography
                 is a methodology that satisfies the user's necessity of
                 secure communication by inserting a message into
                 different formats. This paper proposes a secret
                 key-based image steganography to secure the message by
                 concealing the grayscale image inside a cover image.
                 The proposed technique shares the 20 characters long
                 secret key between two clients where the initial eight
                 characters of a secret key are utilized for bit
                 permutation of characters and pixels while the last 12
                 characters of secret key decide the encryption keys and
                 position of pixels of a grayscale image into the cover.
                 The grayscale image undergoes operation such as
                 encryption and chaotic baker followed by its hiding in
                 a cover to form a stego image. The execution of the
                 proposed strategy is performed on Matlab 2018. It shows
                 that the proposed approach manages to store the maximum
                 message of size 16 KB into the cover of size
                 256{\texttimes}256. The image quality of stego images
                 has been evaluated using PSNR, MSE. For a full payload
                 of 16 KB, PSNR is around 51 dB to 53 dB which is
                 greater than satisfactory PSNR.",

                 propose a novel features extraction method, which is
                 adapted to the complex nature of Arabic handwriting.
                 The proposed feature called histogram of marked
                 background (HMB) is not considering only ink pixels in
                 a text image, but also uses the background of the
                 image. Each background pixel in the text image was
                 marked according to the repartition of ink pixels in
                 its neighborhood. Feature vectors are extracted by
                 computing histograms from the marked images. Hidden
                 Markov models (HMMs) with Hidden Markov model toolkit
                 (HTK) were used in the recognition process. The

                 is producing a composite color image that allows for an
                 appropriate visualization of the relevant spatial and
                 spectral information. In this paper, we propose a
                 general framework for spectral weighting-based image
                 fusion. The proposed methodology relies on weight
                 updates conducted using nature-inspired algorithms and
                 a goodness-of-fit criterion defined as the average root
                 mean square error. Simulations on four public data sets
                 and a recent Landsat 8 image of Brullus Lake, Egypt, as
                 an area of study prove the efficiency of the proposed

                 framework of multi-band image fusion that produces a
                 fused image of high quality to be further used in

  abstract =     "Traffic sign recognition is a vital part for any
                 driver assistance system which can help in making
                 complex driving decision based on the detected traffic
                 signs. Traffic sign detection (TSD) is essential in
                 adverse weather conditions or when the vehicle is being
                 driven on the hilly roads. Traffic sign recognition is
                 a complex computer vision problem as generally the
                 signs occupy a very small portion of the entire image.
                 A lot of research is going on to solve this issue
                 accurately but still it has not been solved till the
                 satisfactory performance. The goal of this paper is to
                 propose a deep learning architecture which can be
                 deployed on embedded platforms for driver assistant
                 system with limited memory and computing resources
                 without sacrificing on detection accuracy. The
                 architecture uses various architectural modification to
                 the well-known Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)
                 architecture for object detection. It uses a trainable
                 Color Transformer Network (CTN) with the existing CNN
                 architecture for making the system invariant to
                 illumination and light changes. The architecture uses
                 feature fusion module for detecting small traffic signs
                 accurately. In the proposed work, receptive field
                 calculation is used for choosing the number of
                 convolutional layer for prediction and the right scales
                 for default bounding boxes. The architecture is
                 deployed on Jetson Nano GPU Embedded development board
                 for performance evaluation at the edge and it has been
                 tested on well-known German Traffic Sign Detection
                 Benchmark (GTSDB) and Tsinghua-Tencent 100k dataset.
                 The architecture only requires 11 MB for storage which
                 is almost ten times better than the previous
                 architectures. The architecture has one sixth
                 parameters than the best performing architecture and 50
                 times less floating point operations per second
                 (FLOPs). The architecture achieves running time of 220
                 ms on desktop GPU and 578 ms on Jetson Nano which is
                 also better compared to other similar implementation.
                 It also achieves comparable accuracy in terms of mean
                 average precision (mAP) for both the datasets.",

                 audio and visual information along with motion
                 information embedded in it. Applications such as
                 e-learning, live TV, video on demand, traffic
                 monitoring, etc. need an efficient video retrieval
                 strategy. Content-based video retrieval and superpixel
                 segmentation are two diverse application areas of
                 computer vision. In this work, we are presenting an
                 algorithm for content-based video retrieval with help
                 of Integration of Curvelet transform and Simple Linear
                 Iterative Clustering (ICTSLIC) algorithm. Proposed
                 algorithm consists of two steps: off line processing
                 and online processing. In offline processing, keyframes
                 of the database videos are extracted by employing
                 features: Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) and
                 color moments (CM) and on the extracted keyframes
                 superpixel generation algorithm ICTSLIC is applied. The
                 superpixels generated by applying ICTSLIC on keyframes
                 are used to represent database videos. On other side,
                 in online processing, ICTSLIC superpixel segmentation
                 is applied on query frame and the superpixels generated
                 by segmentation are used to represent query frame. Then
                 videos similar to query frame are retrieved through
                 matching done by calculation of Euclidean distance
                 between superpixels of query frame and database
                 keyframes. Results of the proposed method are
                 irrespective of query frame features such as camera
                 motion, object's pose, orientation and motion due to
                 the incorporation of ICTSLIC superpixels as base
                 feature for matching and retrieval purpose. The
                 proposed method is tested on the dataset comprising of
                 different categories of video clips such as animations,
                 serials, personal interviews, news, movies and songs
                 which is publicly available. For evaluation, the
                 proposed method randomly picks frames from database
                 videos, instead of selecting keyframes as query frames.
                 Experiments were conducted on the developed dataset and
                 the performance is assessed with different parameters
                 Precision, Recall, Jaccard Index, Accuracy and
                 Specificity. The experimental results shown that the
                 proposed method is performing better than the other
                 state-of-art methods.",

  abstract =     "Nowadays, image segmentation techniques are being used
                 in many medical applications such as tissue culture
                 monitoring, cell counting, automatic measurement of
                 organs, etc., for assisting doctors. However,
                 high-level segmentation results cannot be obtained
                 without manual annotation or prior knowledge for high
                 variability, noise and other imaging artifacts in
                 medical images. Furthermore, unstable and continuously
                 changing characteristics of all human cells, tissues
                 and organs manipulate training-based segmentation
                 methods. Detecting appropriate contour of a region of
                 interest and single cells from overlapping condition
                 are extremely challenging. In this paper, we aim for a
                 model that can detect biological structure (e.g. cell
                 nuclei and lung contour) with their proper morphology
                 even in overlapping or occluded condition without
                 manual annotation or prior knowledge. We have
                 introduced a new optimal approach for automatic medical
                 image region segmentation. The method first clearly
                 focuses the boundaries of all object regions in a
                 microscopy image. Then it detects the areas by
                 following their contours. Our model is capable of
                 detecting and segmenting object regions from medial
                 image using less computation effort. Our experimental
                 results prove that our model provides better detection
                 on several datasets of different types of medical data
                 and ensures more than 98\% segmentation rate in the
                 case of densely connected regions.",

  abstract =     "In the digital modern era, multimedia security has
                 turned into a major concern by the rapid growth of
                 network technologies and digital communications.
                 Accordingly, from the last few decades, the application
                 of nonlinear dynamics and chaotic phenomena for
                 multimedia data security earn significant attention. In
                 this paper, an efficient image-encryption technique
                 based on a two-dimensional (2D) chaotic system combine
                 with the finite field of the specific order is
                 introduced. The proposed scheme consists of four
                 modules which are the separation of bits, compression,
                 2D chaotic map, and small S-boxes. Initially, the
                 suggested scheme separates the pixels of the image into
                 the least significant bits (LSB) and the most
                 significant bits (MSB). Subsequently, the compression
                 algorithm on these separated bits is applied and
                 instantly transformed the MSB of the image into LSB.
                 The key objective of the first module is to minimize
                 the range of the pixel value up to eight times less
                 than the original image, which consequently reduces the
                 time complexity of the scheme. In the end, a 2D chaotic
                 map is used to reshuffle the bytes to interrupt the
                 internal correlation amongst the pixels of the image.
                 At the tail end, the small S-boxes have been used to
                 substitute the permuted image. The significance of
                 small S-boxes plays a vital role to maintain the
                 optimum security level, prevent computational effort,
                 and reduced time complexity. The result of the
                 suggested encryption system is tailor-made for
                 instantaneous communication.",

  abstract =     "``Image Captioning is the process of generating a
                 textual description of an image''. It deploys both
                 computer vision and natural language processing for
                 caption generation. However, the majority of the image
                 captioning systems offer unclear depictions regarding
                 the objects like ``man'', ``woman'', ``group of
                 people'', ``building'', etc. Hence, this paper intends
                 to develop an intelligent-based image captioning model.
                 The adopted model comprises of few steps like word
                 generation, sentence formation, and caption generation.
                 Initially, the input image is subjected to the Deep
                 learning classifier called Convolutional Neural Network
                 (CNN). Since the classifier is already trained in the
                 relevant words that are related to all images, it can
                 easily classify the associated words of the given
                 image. Further, a set of sentences is formed with the
                 generated words using Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM)
                 model. The likelihood of the formed sentences is
                 computed using the Maximum Likelihood (ML) function,
                 and the sentences with higher probability are taken,
                 which is further used for generating the visual
                 representation of the scene in terms of image caption.
                 As a major novelty, this paper aims to enhance the
                 performance of CNN by optimally tuning its weight and
                 activation function. This paper introduces a new
                 enhanced optimization algorithm Rider with Randomized
                 Bypass and Over-taker update (RR-BOU) for this optimal
                 selection. In the proposed RR-BOU is the enhanced
                 version of the Rider Optimization Algorithm (ROA).
                 Finally, the performance of the proposed captioning
                 model is compared over other conventional models with
                 respect to statistical analysis.",

                 appropriate solutions for such problems. It is based on
                 an association between a concept and its corresponding
                 visual sound, or textual features. This kind of
                 association is not a trivial task. It requires
                 knowledge about the concept and its context. In this
                 paper, we investigate a new concept detection approach
                 to improve the performance of content-based multimedia
                 documents retrieval systems. To achieve this goal, we
                 are going to tackle the problem from different plans
                 and make four contributions at various stages of the
                 indexing process. We propose a new method for
                 multimodal indexation based on (i) a new weakly
                 supervised semi-automatic method based on the genetic
                 algorithm (ii) the detection of concepts from the text
                 in the videos (iii) the enrichment of the basic
                 concepts thanks to the usage of our method DCM.
                 Subsequently, the semantic and enriched concepts allow
                 a better multimodal indexation and the construction of
                 an ontology. Finally, the different contributions are
                 tested and evaluated on a large dataset (TRECVID

  abstract =     "Computer-assisted colon cancer detection on the
                 histopathological images has become a tedious task due
                 to its shape characteristics and other biological
                 properties. The images acquired through the
                 histopathological microscope may vary in magnifications
                 for better visibility. This may change the
                 morphological properties and hence an automated
                 magnification independent colon cancer detection system
                 is essential. The manual diagnosis of colon biopsy
                 images is subjective, sluggish, laborious leading to
                 nonconformity between histopathologists due to visual
                 evaluation at various microscopic magnifications.
                 Automatic detection of colon across image
                 magnifications is challenging due to many aspects like
                 tailored segmentation and varying features. This
                 demands techniques that take advantage of the textural,
                 color, and geometric properties of colon tissue. This
                 work exhibits a segmentation approach based on the
                 morphological features derived from the segmented
                 region. Gabor Wavelet, Harris Corner, and DWT-LBP
                 coefficients are extracted as it should not be
                 dependent on the spatial domain with respect to the
                 magnification. These features are fed to the
                 Genetically Optimized Neural Network classifier to
                 classify them as normal and malignant ones. Here, the
                 genetic algorithm is used to learn the best

                 balancing them across multiple classes, particularly
                 when the imbalance is high and the number of rare
                 samples count is too minimal thus leading the
                 classifier to misclassify the data instances. To lessen
                 this problem, we proposed a new data balancing method
                 namely a two-stage iterative ensemble method to tackle
                 the imbalance in multiclass environment. The proposed
                 approach focuses on the rare minority sample's
                 influence on learning from imbalanced datasets and the
                 main idea of the proposed approach is to balance the
                 data without any change in class distribution before it
                 gets trained by the learner such that it improves the
                 learner's learning process. Also, the proposed approach
                 is compared against two widely used oversampling
                 techniques and the results reveals that the proposed
                 approach shows a much significant improvement in the
                 learning process among the multiclass imbalanced
                 data.",

                 pollination-based method for performing multilevel
                 segmentation of medical images. The flower
                 pollination-based optimization (FPO) models the
                 pollination process of flowers. Bees serve a major role
                 in the pollination activity of flowers and they
                 memorize and recognize the best flowers producing large
                 pollens of nectar. Such memorizing ability of bees is
                 adapted in the FPO for improving the exploration
                 ability of the algorithm. Besides, the mechanism of
                 avoiding predators by pollinators is also included in
                 the modified FPO (MFPO) for getting away from
                 sub-optimal traps. The medical image segmentation
                 problem is transformed into an optimization problem and
                 solved using the modified FPO (MFPO). The method
                 explores for optimal thresholds in the problem space of
                 the given medical image. The segmented images are

  abstract =     "In the past decade, it is proven that satellite image
                 classification using an object-based technique is
                 better than the standard pixel-based technique. With
                 the increasing need for classifying multispectral
                 satellite images for urban planning, the accuracy of
                 the classification becomes a significant performance
                 parameter. Object-based classification (OBC) is a
                 technique in which group of pixels having similar
                 spectral properties, called objects, are generated
                 using image segmentation and then these objects are
                 classified based on their attributes. In this paper,
                 the combination of a multiclass AdaBoost algorithm with
                 extra trees classifier (ETC) is proposed with higher
                 prediction accuracy for the OBC of the urban fringe
                 area. The performance of the AdaBoost algorithm is
                 found to be better in terms of classification accuracy
                 than benchmarked SVM and RF classifiers for OBC. These
                 classification methods were applied to IRS-R2 LISS IV
                 data. The AdaBoosted extra trees classifier (ABETC) has
                 demonstrated the highest accuracy with overall accuracy
                 (OA) of 88.47\% and a kappa coefficient of 0.85. The
                 computational time of the ABETC is found to be much
                 smaller than the RF algorithm. In detail, the
                 sensitivity of the classifiers was investigated using
                 stratified random sampling with various sample sizes.",

                 escalation of breast cancer among the women, imparting
                 its prime role in Cancer Death among women. Moreover,
                 in this era where computer-aided diagnosis systems have
                 become the right hand of the radiologists, the
                 researchers still find room for improvement in the

                 computer applications that highlight human--computer
                 interaction (HCI), such as augmented reality (AR), and
                 Internet of Things (IoT). As a consequence, hand
                 gesture recognition was highlighted as a very
                 up-to-date research area in computer vision. The body
                 language is a vital method to communicate between
                 people, as well as emphasis on voice messages, or as a
                 complete message on its own. Thus, automatic hand
                 gestures recognition systems can be used to increase
                 human--computer interaction. Therefore, many approaches
                 for hand gesture recognition systems have been
                 designed. However, most of these methods include hybrid
                 processes such as image pre-processing, segmentation,
                 and classification. This paper describes how to create
                 hand gesture model easily and quickly with a well-tuned
                 deep convolutional neural network. Experiments were
                 performed using the Cambridge Hand Gesture data set for
                 illustration of success and efficiency of the
                 convolutional neural network. The accuracy was achieved
                 as 96.66\%, where sensitivity and specificity were
                 found to be 85\% and 98.12\%, respectively, according
                 to the average values obtained at the end of 20 times
                 of operation. These results were compared with the
                 existing works using the same dataset and it was found
                 to have higher values than the hybrid methods.",

  abstract =     "This paper proposes a novel algorithm of segmentation
                 of diseased part in apple leaf images. In
                 agriculture-based image processing, leaf diseases
                 segmentation is the main processing task for region of
                 interest extraction. It is also extremely important to
                 segment the plant leaf from the background in case on
                 live images. Automated segmentation of plant leaves
                 from the background is a common challenge in the
                 processing of plant images. Although numerous methods
                 have been proposed, still it is tough to segment the
                 diseased part of the leaf from the live leaf images
                 accurately by one particular method. In the proposed
                 work, leaves of apple having different background have
                 been segmented. Firstly, the leaves have been enhanced
                 by using Brightness-Preserving Dynamic Fuzzy Histogram
                 Equalization technique and then the extraction of
                 diseased apple leaf part is done using a novel
                 extraction algorithm. Real-time plant leaf database is
                 used to validate the proposed approach. The results of
                 the proposed novel methodology give better results when
                 compared to existing segmentation algorithms. From the
                 segmented apple leaves, color and texture features are
                 extracted which are further classified as marsonina
                 coronaria or apple scab using different machine
                 learning classifiers. Best accuracy of 96.4\% is

                 new species of coronavirus which is affecting
                 respiratory system of human. The virus is known as
                 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2
                 abbreviated as SARS-CoV-2 and generally known as
                 coronavirus disease COVID-19. This is growing day by
                 day in countries. The symptoms include fever, cough and
                 difficulty in breathing. As there is no vaccine made
                 for this virus and COVID-19 tests are not readily
                 available, this is causing panic. Various Artificial

                 developed to detect this virus, but it has not been
                 tested. People are taking advantages of others by
                 providing duplicate COVID-19 test kits. A work is
                 carried out with deep learning to detect presence of
                 COVID 19. With the use of Convolutional Neural
                 networks, the model is trained with dataset of COVID-19
                 positive and negative X-Rays. The accuracy of training

  abstract =     "Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a disease that gradually
                 develops and causes degeneration of the cells of the
                 brain. The leading cause of AD is dementia that results
                 in a person's inability to work independently. In the
                 early stages of AD, a person forgets recent
                 conversations or the occurrence of an event. In the
                 later stages, there could be severe loss of memory such
                 that the person is not able to even perform everyday
                 tasks. The medicines currently available for AD may
                 improve its symptoms on a temporary basis in the early
                 stage of the disease. Since no treatment is available
                 for curing AD, its detection becomes extremely
                 important. As the clinical treatments are very
                 expensive, the need for automated diagnosis of AD is of
                 critical importance. In this paper, a deep learning
                 model based on a convolutional neural network has been
                 used and applied to four classes of images of AD that
                 is very mild demented, mild demented, average demented,
                 and non-demented. It was found that the moderate
                 demented class had the highest accuracy of 98.9\%, a
                 classification error rate of 0.01, and a specificity of
                 0.992. Also, the lowest false positive rate of 0.007
                 was obtained.",

                 machine learning has grabbed attention to some extent
                 from last couple of years. The development of
                 molecular-level predictive approach carries great

                 combined with other radiographic and clinical features
                 for IDH classification of glioma into IDH mutant and

                 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images of low- and

                 patients of IDH mutant and 104 patients of IDH wild
                 type. Texture features are extracted using uniform,

                 Glioblastoma and Low-Grade Glioma dataset available

  abstract =     "Fruits classification is one of the influential
                 applications of computer vision. Traditional
                 classification models are trained by considering
                 various features such as color, shape, texture, etc.
                 These features are common for different varieties of
                 the same fruit. Therefore, a new set of features is
                 required to classify the fruits belonging to the same
                 class. In this paper, we have proposed an optimized
                 method to classify intra-class fruits using deep
                 convolutional layers. The proposed architecture is
                 capable of solving the challenges of a commercial
                 tray-based system in the supermarket. As the research
                 in intra-class classification is still in its infancy,
                 there are challenges that have not been tackled. So,
                 the proposed method is specifically designed to
                 overcome the challenges related to intra-class fruits
                 classification. The proposed method showcases an
                 impressive performance for intra-class classification,
                 which is achieved using a few parameters than the
                 existing methods. The proposed model consists of
                 Inception block, Residual connections and various other
                 layers in very precise order. To validate its
                 performance, the proposed method is compared with
                 state-of-the-art models and performs best in terms of

                 applications in surgical simulation, image-guided
                 intervention, and medical training. However, medical
                 data rendering is based on texture depth at every
                 sampling point, while mathematically modeled implicit
                 surfaces do not have geometric information in texture
                 space. It is a challenging task to visualize both
                 physical scalar data and virtual implicit surfaces
                 simultaneously. To address this issue, in this paper,
                 we present a new dual-casting ray-based double modality

                 platform to visualize volumetric medical data and

                 runs on graphics processing unit and casts two virtual
                 rays from camera to each pixel on the display panel,
                 where one ray travels through the mathematically
                 defined scene for implicit surface rendering and the
                 other one passes the 3D texture space for volumetric
                 data visualization. The proposed algorithm can detect
                 voxel depth information and algebraic surface models
                 along each casting ray and dynamically enhance the
                 visualized dual-modality data with the improved
                 lighting model and transparency adjustment function.
                 Moreover, auxiliary innovative techniques are also
                 presented to enhance the shading and rendering features
                 of interest. Our software platform can seamlessly

                 (RBF) method for cardiac motion tracking in 3D CT using
                 non-rigid medical image registration based on
                 parameterized (regular) surfaces. The technique is a
                 point-based registration evaluation algorithm which
                 does register 3D MR or CT images in real time. We first
                 extract the surface of the whole heart 3D CT and its
                 contrast enhanced part (left ventricle (LV) blood
                 cavity) of each dataset with a semiautomatic contouring
                 and a fully-automatic triangulation method followed by
                 a global surface parameterization and optimization
                 algorithm. In second step, a set of registration
                 experiments are run to calculate the deformation field
                 at various phases of cardiac motion or cycle from CT
                 images, which results into significant deformation
                 during each phase of a cycle. The surface points of the
                 whole heart and LV are used to register the source
                 systole image to various diastole target images taken
                 at different phases during a heart beat. Our
                 registration accuracy improves with the increase in
                 number of salient feature points (i.e. optimized
                 parameterized surfaces) and it has no effect on the
                 speed of the algorithm (i.e. still less than a second).
                 The results show that the target registration error is
                 less than 3 mm (2.53) and the performance of the Fast
                 RBF algorithm is less than a second using a whole heart
                 CT dataset of a single patient taken over the course of
                 the entire cardiac cycle. At the end, the results for
                 recovery (or analysis) of bigger deformation in heart
                 CT images using the Fast RBF algorithm is compared to
                 the state-of-the-art Free Form Deformation (FFD)
                 registration technique. It is proved that the Fast RBF
                 method is performing better in speed and slightly less
                 accurate than the FFD (when measured in terms of NMI)
                 due to iterative nature of the latter.",

                 paper is to use the Laplacian graph embed the
                 information of diffusion tensor imaging, which contains
                 the characteristics of structural brain networks, into
                 the functional brain network with hyper-order
                 functional connectivity information built based on
                 functional magnetic resonance data using the sparse
                 representation method, to obtain brain network with
                 both functional and structural characteristics.
                 Projection of the brain network and the two original
                 modes data to the kernel space respectively and then
                 classified by the multi-task learning method.
                 Experiments on the epilepsy dataset show that our
                 method has better performance than several
                 state-of-the-art methods. In addition, brain regions
                 and connections that are highly correlated with disease
                 revealed by our method are discussed.",

  abstract =     "Conventional thresholding algorithms have had limited
                 success with degraded document images. Recently,
                 partial differential equations (PDEs) have been applied
                 with good results. However, these are usually tailored
                 to handle relatively few specific distortions. In this
                 study, we combine an edge detection term with a linear
                 binarization source term in a PDE formulation.
                 Additionally, a new proposed diffusivity function
                 further amplifies desired edges. It also suppresses
                 undesired edges that comprise bleed-through effects.
                 Furthermore, we develop the fractional variant of the
                 proposed scheme, which further improves results and
                 provides more flexibility. Moreover, nonlinear color
                 spaces are utilized to improve binarization results for
                 images with color distortion. The proposed scheme
                 removes document image degradation such as
                 bleed-through, stains, smudges, etc., and also restores
                 faded text in the images. Experimental subjective and

                 an essential step for treatment planning and volume
                 estimation of the organ. Prostate segmentation is a
                 challenging task due to its variable size and shape.
                 Moreover, neighboring tissues have a low-contrast with
                 the prostate. We propose a robust and precise automatic
                 algorithm to define the prostate's boundaries in MR
                 images in this paper. First, we find the prostate's ROI
                 by a deep neural network and decrease the input image's
                 size. Next, a dynamic multi-atlas-based approach
                 obtains the initial segmentation of the prostate. A
                 watershed algorithm improves the initial segmentation
                 at the next stage. Finally, an SSM algorithm keeps the
                 result in the domain of allowable prostate shapes. The
                 quantitative evaluation of 74 prostate volumes
                 demonstrated that the proposed method yields a mean
                 Dice coefficient of 0.83{\textpm}0.05. In comparison

                 classifying an image based on its visual
                 representation. This paper portrays the need for
                 adapting and applying a suitable image enhancement and
                 denoising technique in order to arrive at a successful
                 classification of data captured remotely. Biometric
                 properties that are widely explored today are very
                 important for authentication purposes. Noise may be the
                 result of incorrect vein detection in the accepted
                 image, thus explaining the need for a better
                 development technique. This work provides subjective
                 and objective analysis of the performance of various
                 image enhancement filters in the spatial domain. After
                 performing these pre-processing steps, the vein map and
                 the corresponding vein graph can be easily obtained
                 with minimal extraction steps, in which the appropriate

  abstract =     "This study proposes an image denoising algorithm based
                 on sparse representation and Principal Component
                 Analysis (PCA). The proposed algorithm includes the
                 following steps. First, the noisy image is divided into
                 overlapped 8{\texttimes}8 blocks. Second, the discrete
                 cosine transform is applied as a dictionary for the
                 sparse representation of the vectors created by the
                 overlapped blocks. To calculate the sparse vector, the
                 orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm is used. Then,
                 the dictionary is updated by means of the PCA algorithm
                 to achieve the sparsest representation of vectors.
                 Since the signal energy, unlike the noise energy, is
                 concentrated on a small dataset by transforming into
                 the PCA domain, the signal and noise can be well
                 distinguished. The proposed algorithm was implemented
                 in a MATLAB environment and its performance was
                 evaluated on some standard grayscale images under
                 different levels of standard deviations of white
                 Gaussian noise by means of peak signal-to-noise ratio,
                 structural similarity indexes, and visual effects. The
                 experimental results demonstrate that the proposed
                 denoising algorithm achieves significant improvement
                 compared to dual-tree complex discrete wavelet
                 transform and K-singular value decomposition image
                 denoising methods. It also obtains competitive results
                 with the block-matching and 3D filtering method, which
                 is the current state-of-the-art for image denoising.",

                 the characteristics of Arabic handwriting concentrated
                 at endpoints and branch points. SDIK feature quantizes
                 the spatial repartition of ink pixels in the

                 are very fast to match, we take this advantage to match

                 images. By this matching mechanism, we overcome the
                 hard task of segmenting an Arabic document into words.

                 medical ultrasound images and synthetic aperture radar
                 (SAR) images are mainly degraded by an intrinsic noise
                 called speckle. Therefore, de-speckling is a main
                 pre-processing stage for degraded images. In this
                 paper, first, an optimized adaptive Wiener filter
                 (OAWF) is proposed. OAWF can be applied to the input
                 image without the need for logarithmic transform. In
                 addition its performance is improved. Next, the
                 coefficient of variation (CV) is computed from the
                 input image. With the help of CV, the guided filter
                 converts to an improved guided filter (IGF). Next, the
                 improved guided filter is applied on the image.
                 Subsequently, the fast bilateral filter is applied on
                 the image. The proposed filter has a better image
                 detail preservation compared to some other standard

  abstract =     "One of the most often used techniques to represent
                 color images is quaternion algebra. This study
                 introduces the quaternion Krawtchouk moments, QKrMs, as
                 a new set of moments to represent color images.
                 Krawtchouk moments (KrMs) represent one type of
                 discrete moments. QKrMs use traditional Krawtchouk
                 moments of each color channel to describe color images.
                 This new set of moments is defined by using orthogonal
                 polynomials called the Krawtchouk polynomials. The
                 stability against the translation, rotation, and
                 scaling transformations for QKrMs is discussed. The
                 performance of the proposed QKrMs is evaluated against
                 other discrete quaternion moments for image
                 reconstruction capability, toughness against various
                 types of noise, invariance to similarity
                 transformations, color face image recognition, and CPU

  abstract =     "Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a dynamic and safe
                 imaging technique in medical imaging. Recently,
                 parallel MRI (pMRI) is widely used for accelerating
                 conventional MRI. Both frequency and image domain-based
                 reconstructions are the most attractive methods for
                 generating the image from multi-channel k-space data.
                 Compressed sensing (CS) is a recently used procedure to
                 reduce the acquisition time of conventional MRI. This
                 reduction is achieved by taking fewer measurements from
                 the fully sampled k-space data. Therefore, applying the
                 CS technique in pMRI is the most emerging way for
                 further improving the acquisition time that is a
                 tremendous research interest. However, as the phase
                 encoding plane may be perpendicular or parallel to the
                 coil elements plane, finding the exact domain for CS in
                 pMRI reconstruction is a major challenging issue. In
                 this work, the application of the CS technique in pMRI
                 in both domains is investigated. Later some widely used
                 methodologies are presented as the nonlinear
                 reconstruction algorithm of CS in pMRI. Finally, a
                 discussion is performed based on CS in pMRI to perceive
                 the reality of different reconstruction algorithms at a
                 glance for finding preferred methodologies.",

  abstract =     "The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic that is
                 caused by the SARS-CoV2 has spread all over the world.
                 It is an infectious disease that can spread from person
                 to person. The severity of the disease can be
                 categorized into five categories namely asymptomatic,
                 mild, moderate, severe, and critical. From the reported
                 cases thus, it has been seen that 80\% of the cases
                 that test positive with COVID-19 infection have less
                 than moderate complications, whereas 20\% of the
                 positive cases develop severe and critical
                 complications. The virus infects the lungs of an
                 individual, therefore, it has been observed that the
                 X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scan images of the
                 infected people can be used by the machine
                 learning-based application programs to predict the
                 presence of the infection. Therefore, in the proposed
                 work, a Convolutional Neural Network model based upon
                 the DenseNet architecture is being used to predict the
                 presence of COVID-19 infection using the CT scan images
                 of the chest. The proposed work has been carried out
                 using the dataset of the CT images from the COVID CT
                 Dataset. It has 349 images marked as COVID-19 positive
                 and 397 images have been marked as COVID-19 negative.
                 The proposed system can categorize the test set images
                 with an accuracy of 91.4\%. The proposed method is
                 capable of detecting the presence of COVID-19 infection
                 with good accuracy using the chest CT scan images of
                 the humans.",

                 serious disruption of the functions of a community. It
                 leads to loss of human life and environmental and
                 financial losses. Natural disasters cause damage and
                 privation that could last for months and even years.
                 Immediate steps need to be taken and social media
                 platforms like Twitter help to provide relief to the
                 affected public. However, it is difficult to analyze
                 high-volume data obtained from social media posts.
                 Therefore, the efficiency and accuracy of useful data
                 extracted from the enormous posts related to disaster
                 are low. Satellite imagery is gaining popularity
                 because of its ability to cover large temporal and
                 spatial areas. But, both the social media and satellite
                 imagery require the use of automated methods to avoid
                 the errors caused by humans. Deep learning and machine
                 learning have become extremely popular for text and
                 image classification tasks. In this paper, a review has
                 been done on natural disaster detection through

                 computer vision-based applications. It is the task of
                 assigning a predefined class label to every pixel of an
                 image. Several supervised and unsupervised algorithms
                 are available to classify pixels of an image into

                 random forest and SVM are used to obtain the semantic
                 segmentation. Recently, convolutional neural network
                 (CNN)-based architectures have become popular for the
                 tasks of object detection, object recognition, and

                 of deep learning architectures e.g. medical
                 applications. Such a requirement initiated a need to
                 have a technique of effective training of deep learning
                 architecture in case of a very small dataset. Class
                 imbalance is another challenge in the process of
                 training deep learning architecture. Due to class
                 imbalance, the classifier overclassifies classes with
                 large samples. In this paper, the challenge of training
                 a deep learning architecture with a small dataset and
                 class imbalance is addressed by novel fusion-based
                 semantic segmentation technique which improves
                 segmentation of minor and major classes.",

  abstract =     "Traditional neural networks are very diverse and have
                 been used during the last decades in the fields of data
                 classification. These networks like MLP, back
                 propagation neural networks (BPNN) and feed forward
                 network have shown inability to scale with problem size
                 and with the slow convergence rate. So in order to
                 overcome these numbers of drawbacks, the use of higher
                 order neural networks (HONNs) becomes the solution by
                 adding input units along with a stronger functioning of
                 other neural units in the network and transforms easily
                 these input units to hidden layers. In this paper, a
                 new metaheuristic method, Firefly (FFA), is applied to
                 calculate the optimal weights of the Functional Link
                 Artificial Neural Network (FLANN) by using the flashing
                 behavior of fireflies in order to classify ISA-Radar
                 target. The average classification result of FLANN-FFA
                 which reached 96\% shows the efficiency of the process

  abstract =     "Cardiotocography (CTG) is a biophysical method for
                 assessing fetal condition that primarily relies on the
                 recording and automated analysis of fetal heart
                 activity. The quantitative description of the CTG
                 signals is provided by computerized fetal monitoring
                 systems. Even though effective conclusion generation
                 methods for decision process support are still required
                 to find out the fetal risk such as premature embryo,
                 this proposed method and outcome data can confirm the
                 assessment of the fetal state after birth. Low birth
                 weight is quite possibly the main attribute that
                 significantly depicts an unusual fetal result. These
                 expectations are assessed in a constant experimental
                 decision support system, providing valuable information
                 that can be used to obtain additional information about
                 the fetal state using machine learning techniques. The
                 advancements in modern obstetric practice enabled the
                 use of numerous reliable and robust machine learning
                 approaches in classifying fetal heart rate signals. The
                 Na{\"\i}ve Bayes (NB) classifier, support vector
                 machine (SVM), decision trees (DT), and random forest

                 outcomes in the proposed method, some of the metrics
                 such as precision, accuracy, F1 score, recall,
                 sensitivity, logarithmic loss and mean absolute error
                 have been taken. The above mentioned metrics will be

  abstract =     "Diverse image super-resolution (SR) techniques have
                 been implemented to reconstruct the high-resolution
                 (HR) images from input images through lower spatial
                 resolutions. However, the evaluation of the perceptual
                 quality of SR images remains an important and complex
                 research problem. This paper proposes a new image SR
                 model with the intention of attaining maximum Peak
                 Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). The conversion of
                 low-resolution (LR) images from the HR images is
                 performed by bicubic interpolation-based downsampling
                 and upsampling. Then, the four sub-bands of LR and HR
                 images are generated by the novel Adaptive Wavelet
                 Lifting approach, in which the filter modes are
                 optimized using the proposed SA-CBO. From this
                 technique, LR wavelet sub-bands (LRSB) for LR images
                 and HR wavelet sub-bands (HRSB) for HR images are
                 formed. With the help of the LRSB and HRSB images, the
                 residual images are formed by the adoption of the
                 optimized Activation function and optimized hidden
                 neurons in a deep convolutional neural network (CNN).
                 The improvement in both the adaptive wavelet lifting
                 approach and deep CNN is made by the
                 self-adaptive-colliding bodies optimization (SA-CBO).
                 Finally, the inverse adaptive wavelet lifting approach
                 is used to produce the final SR image. Experimental
                 results on publicly available SR image quality
                 databases confirm the effectiveness and generalization
                 ability of the proposed method compared with the
                 traditional image quality assessment algorithms.",

  abstract =     "Today, manipulating, storing, and sending digital
                 images are simple and easy because of the development
                 of digital imaging devices from hardware and software
                 points of view. Digital images are used in different
                 contexts of people's lives such as news, forensics, and
                 so on. Therefore, the reliability of received images is
                 a question that often occupies the viewer's mind and
                 the authenticity of digital images is increasingly
                 important. Detecting a forged image as a genuine one as
                 well as detecting a genuine image as a forged one can
                 sometimes have irreparable consequences. For example,
                 an image that is available from the scene of a crime
                 can lead to a wrong decision if it is detected
                 incorrectly. In this paper, we propose a combination
                 method to improve the accuracy of copy--move forgery
                 detection (CMFD) reducing the false positive rate (FPR)
                 based on texture attributes. The proposed method uses a
                 combination of the scale-invariant feature transform
                 (SIFT) and local binary pattern (LBP). Consideration of
                 texture features around the keypoints detected by the
                 SIFT algorithm can be effective to reduce the incorrect
                 matches and improve the accuracy of CMFD. In addition,
                 to find more and better keypoints some pre-processing
                 methods have been proposed. This study was evaluated on
                 the COVERAGE, GRIP, and MICC-F220 databases.
                 Experimental results show that the proposed method
                 without clustering or segmentation and only with simple
                 matching operations, has been able to earn the true
                 positive rates of 98.75\%, 95.45\%, and 87\% on the
                 GRIP, MICC-F220, and COVERAGE datasets, respectively.
                 Also, the proposed method, with FPRs from 17.75\% to
                 3.75\% on the GRIP dataset, has been able to achieve
                 the best results.",

                 thermal facial expression analysis and recognition.
                 Several facial expression databases have been designed
                 in both modalities. However, little attention has been
                 given for analyzing blended facial expressions in the
                 thermal infrared spectrum. In this paper, we have
                 introduced a Visual-Thermal Blended Facial Expression
                 Database (VTBE) that contains visual and thermal face
                 images with both basic and blended facial expressions.
                 The database contains 12 posed blended facial
                 expressions and spontaneous six basic facial
                 expressions in both modalities. In this paper, we have
                 proposed Deformed Thermal Facial Area (DTFA) in thermal
                 expressive face image and make an analysis to
                 differentiate between basic and blended expressions
                 using DTFA. Here, the fusion of DTFA and Deformed
                 Visual Facial Area (DVFA) has been proposed combining
                 the features of both modalities and experiments and has
                 been conducted on this new database. However, to show
                 the effectiveness of our proposed approach, we have
                 compared our method with state-of-the-art methods using
                 USTC-NVIE database. Experiment results reveal that our

  abstract =     "Shadow leads to failure of moving target positioning,
                 segmentation, tracking, and classification in the video
                 surveillance system thus shadow detection and removal
                 is essential for further computer vision process. The
                 existing state-of-the-art methods for dynamic shadow
                 detection have produced a high discrimination rate but
                 a poor detection rate (foreground pixels are classified
                 as shadow pixels). This paper proposes an effective
                 method for dynamic shadow detection and removal based
                 on intensity ratio along with frame difference, gamma
                 correction, and morphology operations. The performance
                 of the proposed method has been tested on two outdoor
                 ATON datasets, namely, highway-I and highway-III for
                 vehicle tracking systems. The proposed method has
                 produced a discrimination rate of 89.07\% and a
                 detection rate of 80.79\% for highway-I video
                 sequences. Similarly, for a highway-III video sequence,
                 the discrimination rate of 85.60\% and detection rate
                 of 84.05\% have been obtained. Investigational outcomes
                 show that the proposed method is the simple, steadiest,
                 and robust for dynamic shadow detection on the dataset
                 used in this work.",

  abstract =     "Nowadays, action recognition has gained more attention
                 from the computer vision community. Normally for
                 recognizing human actions, spatial and temporal
                 features are extracted. Two-stream convolutional neural
                 network is used commonly for human action recognition
                 in videos. In this paper, Adaptive motion Attentive
                 Correlated Temporal Feature (ACTF) is used for temporal
                 feature extractor. The temporal average pooling in
                 inter-frame is used for extracting the inter-frame
                 regional correlation feature and mean feature. This

  abstract =     "Effective face recognition is accomplished using the
                 extraction of features and classification. Though there
                 are multiple techniques for face image recognition,
                 full face recognition in real-time is quite difficult.
                 One of the emerging and promising methods to address
                 this challenge in face recognition is deep learning
                 networks. The inevitable network tool associated with
                 the face recognition method with deep learning systems
                 is convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This research
                 intends to develop a new method for face recognition
                 using adaptive intelligent methods. The main phases of
                 the proposed method are (a) data collection, (b) image
                 pre-processing, (c) normalization, (d) pattern
                 extraction, and (e) recognition. Initially, the images
                 for face recognition are gathered from CPFW, Yale
                 datasets, and the MIT-CBCL dataset. The image
                 pre-processing is performed by the Gaussian filtering
                 method. Further, the normalization of the image will be
                 done, which is a process that alters the range of pixel
                 intensities and can handle the poor contrast due to
                 glare. Then a new descriptor called adaptive local tri
                 Weber pattern (ALTrWP) acts as a pattern extractor. In
                 the recognition phase, the VGG16 architecture with new
                 chick updated-chicken swarm optimization (NSU-CSO) is
                 used. As the modification, VGG16 architecture will be
                 enhanced by this optimization technique. The
                 performance of the developed method is analyzed on two
                 standards face database. Experimental results are
                 compared with different machine learning approaches
                 concerned with noteworthy measures, which demonstrate
                 the efficiency of the considered classifier.",

                 understanding of these dance forms and for annotation
                 purposes. {\em Bharatanatyam\/} is a classical dance
                 that originated in South India. {\em Bharatanatyam\/}
                 performer uses hand gestures ( {\em mudras\/} ), facial
                 expressions and body movements to communicate to the
                 audience the intended meaning. According to {\em

                 and pattern recognition problems in order to increase
                 the richness in diversity of available data. It is
                 commonly used to improve the classification accuracy of
                 images when the available datasets are limited. Deep
                 learning approaches have demonstrated an immense
                 breakthrough in medical diagnostics over the last
                 decade. A significant amount of datasets are needed for
                 the effective training of deep neural networks. The
                 appropriate use of data augmentation techniques
                 prevents the model from over-fitting and thus increases
                 the generalization capability of the network while
                 testing afterward on unseen data. However, it remains a
                 huge challenge to obtain such a large dataset from rare
                 diseases in the medical field. This study presents the
                 synthetic data augmentation technique using Generative
                 Adversarial Networks to evaluate the generalization
                 capability of neural networks using existing data more
                 effectively. In this research, the convolutional neural
                 network (CNN) model is used to classify the X-ray
                 images of the human chest in both normal and pneumonia
                 conditions; then, the synthetic images of the X-ray
                 from the available dataset are generated by using the
                 deep convolutional generative adversarial network
                 (DCGAN) model. Finally, the CNN model is trained again
                 with the original dataset and augmented data generated
                 using the DCGAN model. The classification performance
                 of the CNN model is improved by 3.2\% when the
                 augmented data were used along with the originally
                 available dataset.",

  abstract =     "Often in practice, during the process of image
                 acquisition, the acquired image gets degraded due to
                 various factors like noise, motion blur, mis-focus of a
                 camera, atmospheric turbulence, etc. resulting in the
                 image unsuitable for further analysis or processing. To
                 improve the quality of these degraded images, a double
                 hybrid restoration filter is proposed on the two same
                 sets of input images and the output images are fused to
                 get a unified filter in combination with the concept of
                 image fusion. First image set is processed by applying
                 deconvolution using Wiener Filter (DWF) twice and
                 decomposing the output image using Discrete Wavelet
                 Transform (DWT). Similarly, second image set is also
                 processed simultaneously by applying Deconvolution
                 using Lucy--Richardson Filter (DLR) twice followed by
                 the above procedure. The proposed filter gives a better
                 performance as compared to DWF and DLR filters in case
                 of both blurry as well as noisy images. The proposed
                 filter is compared with some standard deconvolution
                 algorithms and also some state-of-the-art restoration
                 filters with the help of seven image quality assessment
                 parameters. Simulation results prove the success of the

                 and increasing the International Organization for
                 Standardization (ISO) for a short duration of exposure
                 makes them noisy. The image restoration methods have a
                 wide range of applications in the field of medical
                 imaging, computer vision, remote sensing, and graphic
                 design. Although the use of flash improves the
                 lighting, it changed the image tone besides developing
                 unnecessary highlight and shadow. Thus, these drawbacks
                 are overcome using the image restoration methods that
                 recovered the image with high quality from the degraded
                 observation. The main challenge in the image
                 restoration approach is recovering the degraded image
                 contaminated with the noise. In this research, an
                 effective algorithm, named T2FRF filter, is developed
                 for the restoration of the image. The noisy pixel is
                 identified from the input fingerprint image using Deep
                 Convolutional Neural Network (Deep CNN), which is
                 trained using the neighboring pixels. The Rider
                 Optimization Algorithm (ROA) is used for the removal of
                 the noisy pixel in the image. The enhancement of the
                 pixel is performed using the type II fuzzy system. The
                 developed T2FRF filter is measured using the metrics,
                 such as correlation coefficient and Peak Signal to
                 Noise Ratio (PSNR) for evaluating the performance. When
                 compared with the existing image restoration method,
                 the developed method obtained a maximum correlation
                 coefficient of 0.7504 and a maximum PSNR of 28.2467dB,

  abstract =     "Nowadays in the era of automation, the postal
                 automation system is one of the major research areas.
                 Developing a postal automation system for a nation like
                 India is much troublesome than other nations because of
                 India's multi-script and multi-lingual behavior. This
                 proposed work will be helpful in the postal automation
                 of district names of Punjab (state) written in Gurmukhi
                 script, which is the official language of the state in
                 North India. For this, a holistic approach i.e. a
                 segmentation-free technique has been used with the help
                 of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Deep learning
                 (DL). For the purpose of recognition, a database of 22
                 000 images (samples) which are handwritten in Gurmukhi
                 script for all the 22 districts of Punjab is prepared.
                 Each sample is written two times by 500 different
                 writers generating 1000 samples for each district name.
                 Two CNN models are proposed which are named as
                 ConvNetGuru and ConvNetGuruMod for the purpose of
                 recognition. Maximum validation accuracy achieved by
                 ConvNetGuru is 90\% and ConvNetGuruMod is 98\%.",

  abstract =     "The retinal blood vessels in humans are major
                 components with different shapes and sizes. The
                 extraction of the blood vessels from the retina is an
                 important step to identify the type or nature of the
                 pattern of the diseases in the retina. Furthermore, the
                 retinal blood vessel was also used for diagnosis,
                 detection, and classification. The most recent solution
                 in this topic is to enable retinal image improvement or
                 enhancement by a convolution filter and Sauvola
                 threshold. In image enhancement, gamma correction is
                 applied before filtering the retinal fundus. After
                 that, the image should be transformed to a gray channel
                 to enhance pictorial clarity using contrast-limited
                 histogram equalization. For filter, this paper combines
                 two convolution filters, namely sharpen and smooth
                 filters. The Sauvola threshold, the morphology, and the
                 medium filter are applied to extract blood vessels from
                 the retinal image. This paper uses DRIVE and STARE
                 datasets. The accuracies of the proposed method are
                 95.37\% for DRIVE with a runtime of 1.77 s and 95.17\%
                 for STARE with 2.05 s runtime. Based on the result, it
                 concludes that the proposed method is good enough to
                 achieve average calculation parameters of a low time

                 pleasing way the missing regions in video frames. Video
                 inpainting is an exciting task due to the variety of
                 motions across different frames. The existing methods
                 usually use attention models to inpaint videos by
                 seeking the damaged content from other frames.
                 Nevertheless, these methods suffer due to irregular

                 giving rise to artifacts in the inpainted video. To
                 overcome the above problem, Spatio-Temporal Inference

                 Face Emotion Recognition (FER) is predominantly complex
                 for two reasons. The first reason is the nonexistence
                 of a large database of training images, and the second
                 one is about classifying the emotions, which can be

  abstract =     "Edge detection is a major step in several computer
                 vision applications. Edges define the shape of objects
                 to be used in a recognition system, for example. In
                 this work, we introduce an approach to edge detection
                 inspired by a challenge for artists: the Speed Drawing
                 Challenge. In this challenge, a person is asked to draw
                 the same figure in different times (as 10 min, 1 min
                 and 10 s); at each time, different levels of details
                 are drawn by the artist. In a short time stamp, just
                 the major elements remain. This work proposes a new
                 approach for producing images with different amounts of
                 edges representing different levels of relevance. Our
                 method uses superpixel to suppress image details,
                 followed by Globalized Probability of Boundary (gPb)
                 and Canny edge detection algorithms to create an image
                 containing different number of edges. After that, an
                 edge analysis step detects whose edges are the most
                 relevant for the scene. The results are presented for
                 the BSDS500 dataset and they are compared to other edge
                 and contour detection algorithms by quantitative and

                 information for content-based image analysis.
                 Therefore, text detection and script identification in
                 images are an important task. In this paper, we propose
                 a new method for text detection in natural scene
                 images, particularly for Arabic text, based on a
                 bottom-up approach where four principal steps can be
                 highlighted. The detection of extremely stable and
                 homogeneous regions of interest (ROIs) is based on the
                 Color Stability and Homogeneity Regions (CSHR) proposed
                 technique. These regions are then labeled as textual or
                 non-textual ROI. This identification is based on a
                 structural approach. The textual ROIs are grouped to
                 constitute zones according to spatial relations between
                 them. Finally, the textual or non-textual nature of the
                 constituted zones is refined. This last identification
                 is based on handcrafted features and on features built
                 from a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) after
                 learning. The proposed method was evaluated on the
                 databases used for text detection in natural scene
                 images: the competitions organized in 2017 edition of
                 the International Conference on Document Analysis and
                 Recognition (ICDAR2017), the Urdu-text database and our
                 Natural Scene Image Database for Arabic Text detection
                 (NSIDAT) database. The obtained experimental results
                 seem to be interesting.",

                 matting plays a key role in image and video editing
                 along with image composition. In many significant
                 real-world applications such as film production, it has
                 been widely used for visual effects, virtual zoom,
                 image translation, image editing and video editing.
                 With recent advancements in digital cameras, both
                 professionals and consumers have become increasingly
                 involved in matting techniques to facilitate image
                 editing activities. Image matting plays an important
                 role to estimate {\em alpha matte\/} in the {\em
                 unknown\/} region to distinguish {\em foreground\/}
                 from the {\em background\/} region of an image using an
                 input image and the corresponding trimap of an image
                 which represents a {\em foreground\/} and {\em
                 unknown\/} region. Numerous image matting techniques
                 have been proposed recently to extract high-quality
                 {\em matte\/} from image and video sequences. This
                 paper illustrates a systematic overview of the current
                 image and video matting techniques mostly emphasis on
                 the current and advanced algorithms proposed recently.
                 In general, image matting techniques have been
                 categorized according to their underlying approaches,
                 namely, sampling-based, propagation-based, combination
                 of sampling and propagation-based and deep
                 learning-based algorithms. The traditional image
                 matting algorithms depend primarily on color
                 information to predict {\em alpha matte\/} such as
                 sampling-based, propagation-based or combination of
                 sampling and propagation-based algorithms. However,
                 these techniques mostly use low-level features and
                 suffer from high-level {\em background\/} which tends
                 to produce unwanted artifacts when color is same or
                 semi-transparent in the {\em foreground\/} object.
                 Image matting techniques based on deep learning have
                 recently introduced to address the shortcomings of
                 traditional algorithms. Rather than simply depending on
                 the color information, it uses deep learning mechanism
                 to estimate the {\em alpha matte\/} using an input
                 image and the trimap of an image. A comprehensive
                 survey on recent image matting algorithms and in-depth
                 comparative analysis of these algorithms has been
                 thoroughly discussed in this paper.",

  abstract =     "In the area of ophthalmology, glaucoma affects an
                 increasing number of people. It is a major cause of
                 blindness. Early detection avoids severe ocular
                 complications such as glaucoma, cystoid macular edema,
                 or diabetic proliferative retinopathy. Intelligent
                 artificial intelligence has been confirmed beneficial
                 for glaucoma assessment. In this paper, we describe an
                 approach to automate glaucoma diagnosis using funds
                 images. The setup of the proposed framework is in
                 order: The Bi-dimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition
                 (BEMD) algorithm is applied to decompose the Regions of
                 Interest (ROI) to components (BIMFs+residue). CNN
                 architecture VGG19 is implemented to extract features
                 from decomposed BEMD components. Then, we fuse the
                 features of the same ROI in a bag of features. These
                 last very long; therefore, Principal Component Analysis
                 (PCA) are used to reduce features dimensions. The bags
                 of features obtained are the input parameters of the
                 implemented classifier based on the Support Vector
                 Machine (SVM). To train the built models, we have used
                 two public datasets, which are ACRIMA and REFUGE. For
                 testing our models, we have used a part of ACRIMA and
                 REFUGE plus four other public datasets, which are
                 RIM-ONE, ORIGA-light, Drishti-GS1, and sjchoi86-HRF.
                 The overall precision of 98.31\%, 98.61\%, 96.43\%,
                 96.67\%, 95.24\%, and 98.60\% is obtained on ACRIMA,
                 REFUGE, RIM-ONE, ORIGA-light, Drishti-GS1, and
                 sjchoi86-HRF datasets, respectively, by using the model
                 trained on REFUGE. Again an accuracy of 98.92\%,
                 99.06\%, 98.27\%, 97.10\%, 96.97\%, and 96.36\% is
                 obtained in the ACRIMA, REFUGE, RIM-ONE, ORIGA-light,
                 Drishti-GS1, and sjchoi86-HRF datasets, respectively,
                 using the model training on ACRIMA. The experimental
                 results obtained from different datasets demonstrate
                 the efficiency and robustness of the proposed approach.
                 A comparison with some recent previous work in the
                 literature has shown a significant advancement in our
                 proposal.",

  abstract =     "The optical satellite sensors encounter certain
                 constraints on producing high-resolution multispectral
                 (HRMS) images. Pan-sharpening (PS) is a remote sensing
                 image fusion technique, which is an effective mechanism
                 to overcome the limitations of available imaging
                 products. The prevalent issue in PS algorithms is the
                 imbalance between spatial quality and spectral details
                 preservation, thereby producing intensity variations in
                 the fused image. In this paper, a PS method is proposed
                 based on convolutional sparse coding (CSC) implemented
                 in the non-subsampled shearlet transform (NSST) domain.
                 The source images, panchromatic (PAN) and multispectral
                 (MS) images, are decomposed using NSST. The resultant
                 high-frequency bands are fused using adaptive weights
                 determined from chaotic grey wolf optimization (CGWO)
                 algorithm. The CSC-based model is employed to fuse the
                 low-frequency bands. Further, an iterative filtering
                 mechanism is developed to enhance the quality of fused
                 image. Four datasets with different geographical
                 content like urban area, vegetation, etc. and eight
                 existing algorithms are used for evaluation of the
                 proposed PS method. The comprehensive visual and
                 quantitative results approve that the proposed method
                 accomplishes considerable improvement in spatial and
                 spectral details equivalence in the pan-sharpened
                 image.",

  abstract =     "Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a health concern that
                 affects people all over the world. Kidney dysfunction
                 or impaired kidney functions are the causes of CKD. The
                 machine learning-based prediction models are used to
                 determine the risk level of CKD and assist healthcare
                 practitioners in delaying and preventing the disease's
                 progression. The researchers proposed many prediction
                 models for determining the CKD risk level. Although
                 these models performed well, their precision is limited
                 since they do not handle missing values in the clinical
                 dataset adequately. The missing values of a clinical
                 dataset can degrade the training outcomes that leads to
                 false predictions. Thus, imputing missing values
                 increases the prediction model performance. This
                 proposed work developed a novel imputation technique by
                 combining Multiple Imputation by Chained Equations and
                 K -Nearest Neighbors (MICE--KNN) for imputing the
                 missing values. The experimental results show that
                 MICE--KNN accurately predicts the missing values, and
                 the Deep Neural Network (DNN) improves the prediction
                 performance of the CKD model. Various metrics like mean
                 absolute error, accuracy, specificity, Matthews
                 correlation coefficient, the area under the curve,
                 F_{1} -score, sensitivity, and precision have been used
                 to evaluate the proposed CKD model performance. The
                 performance analysis exhibits that MICE--KNN with deep
                 learning outperforms other classifiers. According to
                 our experimental study, the MICE--KNN imputation
                 algorithm with DNN is more appropriate for predicting
                 the kidney disease.",

  abstract =     "Genetics is the clinical review of congenital
                 mutation, where the principal advantage of analyzing
                 genetic mutation of humans is the exploration,
                 analysis, interpretation and description of the genetic
                 transmitted and inherited effect of several diseases
                 such as cancer, diabetes and heart diseases. Cancer is
                 the most troublesome and disordered affliction as the
                 proportion of cancer sufferers is growing massively.
                 Identification and discrimination of the mutations that
                 impart to the enlargement of tumor from the unbiased
                 mutations is difficult, as majority tumors of cancer
                 are able to exercise genetic mutations. The genetic
                 mutations are systematized and categorized to sort the
                 cancer by way of medical observations and considering
                 clinical studies. At the present time, genetic
                 mutations are being annotated and these interpretations
                 are being accomplished either manually or using the
                 existing primary algorithms. Evaluation and
                 classification of each and every individual genetic
                 mutation was basically predicated on evidence from
                 documented content built on medical literature.
                 Consequently, as a means to build genetic mutations,
                 basically, depending on the clinical evidences persists
                 a challenging task. There exist various algorithms such
                 as one hot encoding technique is used to derive
                 features from genes and their variations, TF-IDF is
                 used to extract features from the clinical text data.
                 In order to increase the accuracy of the
                 classification, machine learning algorithms such as
                 support vector machine, logistic regression, Naive
                 Bayes, etc., are experimented. A stacking model
                 classifier has been developed to increase the accuracy.
                 The proposed stacking model classifier has obtained the
                 log loss 0.8436 and 0.8572 for cross-validation data
                 set and test data set, respectively. By the
                 experimentation, it has been proved that the proposed
                 stacking model classifier outperforms the existing
                 algorithms in terms of log loss. Basically, minimum log
                 loss refers to the efficient model. Here the log loss
                 has been reduced to less than 1 by using the proposed
                 stacking model classifier. The performance of these
                 algorithms can be gauged on the basis of the various
                 measures like multi-class log loss.",

                 and noncontact method of identification and
                 measurement. An attempt has been made in the present
                 investigation to use this method for automatically
                 detecting the worn regions on the material surface and
                 also its measurement. Brass material has been used for
                 experimentation as it is used generally as a bearing
                 material. A pin on disc dry sliding wear testing
                 machine has been used for conducting the experiments by
                 applying loads from 10 N to 50 N and by keeping sliding
                 distance and sliding speed constant. After testing,
                 images are acquired by using 1/2 inch interline
                 transfer CCD image sensor with 795(H) {\^a} 896(V)
                 spatial resolution of 8.6 {\textmu} m (H) {\^a} 8.3
                 {\textmu} m (V) unit cell. Denoising has been done to
                 remove any possible noise followed by contrast
                 stretching to enhance image for wear region extraction.
                 Segmentation tool was used to divide the worn and
                 unworn regions by identifying white regions greater
                 than a threshold value with an objective of quantifying
                 the worn surface for tested specimen. Canny edge
                 detection and granulometry techniques have been used to
                 quantify the wear region. The results revel that the
                 specific wear rate increases with increase in applied
                 load, at constant sliding speed and sliding distance.
                 Similarly, the area of worn region as identified by DIP
                 also increased from 42.7\% to 69.97\%. This is because
                 of formation of deeper groves in the worn material.",

  abstract =     "Lung cancer is a severe disease, which causes high
                 deaths in the world. Earlier discovery of lung cancer
                 is useful to enhance the rate of survival in patients.
                 Computed Tomography (CT) is utilized for determining
                 the tumor and identifying the cancer level in the body.
                 However, the issues of CT images cause less tumor
                 visibility areas and unconstructive rates in tumor
                 regions. This paper devises an optimization-driven
                 technique for classifying lung cancer. The CT image is
                 utilized for determining the position of the tumor.
                 Here, the CT image undergoes segmentation, which is
                 performed using the DeepJoint model. Furthermore, the
                 feature extraction is carried out, wherein features
                 such as local ternary pattern-based features, Histogram

  abstract =     "Image contrast enhancement (CE) is a frequent image
                 enhancement requirement in diverse applications.
                 Histogram equalization (HE), in its conventional and
                 different further improved ways, is a popular technique
                 to enhance the image contrast. The conventional as well
                 as many of the later versions of HE algorithms often
                 cause loss of original image characteristics
                 particularly brightness distribution of original image
                 that results artificial appearance and feature loss in
                 the enhanced image. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)
                 coefficient mapping is one of the recent methods to
                 minimize such problems while enhancing the image
                 contrast. Tuning of DCT parameters plays a crucial role
                 towards avoiding the saturations of pixel values.
                 Optimization can be a possible solution to address this
                 problem and generate contrast enhanced image preserving
                 the desired original image characteristics. Biological
                 behavior-inspired optimization techniques have shown
                 remarkable betterment over conventional optimization
                 techniques in different complex engineering problems.
                 Gray wolf optimization (GWO) is a comparatively new
                 algorithm in this domain that has shown promising
                 potential. The objective function has been formulated
                 using different parameters to retain original image
                 characteristics. The objective evaluation against CEF,
                 PCQI, FSIM, BRISQUE and NIQE with test images from
                 three standard databases, namely, SIPI, TID and CSIQ
                 shows that the presented method can result in values up
                 to 1.4, 1.4, 0.94, 19 and 4.18, respectively, for the
                 stated metrics which are competitive to the reported
                 conventional and improved techniques. This paper can be
                 considered a first-time application of GWO towards
                 DCT-based image CE.",

  abstract =     "Biometrics is an active area of research because of
                 the increase in need for accurate person identification
                 in numerous applications ranging from entertainment to
                 security. Unimodal and multimodal are the well-known
                 biometric methods. Unimodal biometrics uses one
                 biometric modality of a person for person
                 identification. The performance of an unimodal
                 biometric system is degraded due to certain limitations
                 such as: intra-class variations and nonuniversality.
                 The person identification using more than one biometric
                 modality of a person is multimodal biometrics. This
                 method of identification has gained more interest due
                 to resistance on spoof attacks and more recognition
                 rate. Conventional methods of feature extraction have
                 difficulty in engineering features that are liable to
                 more variations such as illumination, pose and age
                 variations. Feature extraction using convolution neural
                 network (CNN) can overcome these difficulties because
                 large dataset with robust variations can be used for
                 training, where CNN can learn these variations. In this
                 paper, we propose multimodal biometrics at feature
                 level horizontal fusion using face, ear and periocular
                 region biometric modalities and apply deep learning CNN
                 for feature representation and also we propose face,
                 ear and periocular region dataset that are robust to
                 intra-class variations. The evaluation of the system is
                 made by using proposed database. Accuracy, Precision,
                 Recall and F1 score are calculated to evaluate the
                 performance of the system and had shown remarkable
                 improvement over existing biometric system.",

                 learning demands a massive volume of training data for
                 great performance. However, encrypting the sensitive
                 information in a photograph is fraught with difficulty,
                 despite rapid technological advancements. The Advanced
                 Encryption System (AES) is the bedrock of classical
                 encryption technologies. The Data Encryption Standard
                 (DES) has low sensitivity, with weak anti-hacking
                 capabilities. In a chaotic encryption system, a chaotic
                 logistic map is employed to generate a key double
                 logistic sequence, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
                 matrices are created by DNA coding. The XOR operation
                 is carried out between the DNA sequence matrix and the
                 key matrix. Finally, the DNA matrix is decoded to
                 obtain an encrypted image. Given that encrypted images
                 are susceptible to attacks, a rapid and efficient
                 Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) denoiser is used
                 that enhances the robustness of the algorithm by
                 maximizing the resolution of rebuilt images. The use of
                 a key mixing percentage factor gives the proposed
                 system vast key space and great key sensitivity. Its
                 implementation is examined using statistical techniques
                 such as histogram analysis, information entropy, key
                 space analysis and key sensitivity. Experiments have

  abstract =     "Image segmentation is imperative for image processing
                 applications. Thresholding technique is the easiest way
                 of partitioning an image into different regions.
                 Mostly, entropy-based threshold selection methods are
                 used for multilevel thresholding. However, these
                 methods suffer from their dependencies on spatial
                 distribution of gray values. To solve this issue, a
                 novel segmentation error minimization (SEM)-based
                 method for multilevel optimal threshold selection using
                 opposition equilibrium optimizer (OEO) is suggested. In
                 this contribution, a new segmentation score (SS)
                 (objective function) is derived while minimizing the
                 segmentation error function. Our proposal is explicitly
                 free from gray level spatial distribution of an image.
                 Optimal threshold values are achieved by maximizing the
                 SS (fitness value) using OEO. The key to success is the
                 maximization of score among classes, ensuring the
                 sharpening of the shred boundary between classes,
                 leading to an improved threshold selection method. It
                 is empirically demonstrated how the optimal threshold
                 selection is made. Experimental results are presented
                 using standard test images. Standard measures like
                 PSNR, SSIM and FSIM are used for validation The results
                 are compared with state-of-the-art entropy-based
                 technique. Our method performs well both qualitatively
                 and quantitatively. The suggested technique would be
                 useful for biomedical image segmentation.",

                 been observed, affecting adults and children. However,
                 it is highly curable in recent times only if detected
                 in the early time of tumor growth. Moreover, there are
                 many sophisticated approaches devised by researchers
                 for predicting the tumor regions and their stages. In
                 addition, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is utilized
                 commonly by radiologists to evaluate tumors. In this
                 paper, the input image is from a database, and brain
                 tumor segmentation is performed using various

  abstract =     "Echocardiography represents a noninvasive diagnostic
                 approach that offers information concerning
                 hemodynamics and cardiac function. It is a familiar
                 cardiovascular diagnostic test apart from chest X-ray
                 and echocardiography. The medical knowledge is enhanced
                 by the Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches like
                 deep learning and machine learning because of the
                 increase in the complexity as well as the volume of the
                 data that in turn unlocks the clinically significant
                 information. Similarly, the usage of developing
                 information as well as communication technologies is
                 becoming important for generating a persistent
                 healthcare service via which the chronic disease and
                 elderly patients get their medical facility at their
                 home that in turn enhances the life quality and avoids
                 hospitalizations. The main intention of this paper is
                 to design and develop a novel heart disease diagnosis
                 using speckle-noise reduction and deep learning-based
                 feature learning and classification. The datasets
                 gathered from the hospital are composed of both the
                 images and the video frames. Since echocardiogram
                 images suffer from speckle noise, the initial process
                 is the speckle-noise reduction technique. Then, the
                 pattern extraction is performed by combining the Local
                 Binary Pattern (LBP), and Weber Local Descriptor (WLD)
                 referred to as the hybrid pattern extraction. The deep
                 feature learning is conducted by the optimized
                 Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), in which the
                 features are extracted from the max-pooling layer, and
                 the fully connected layer is replaced by the optimized
                 Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) for handling the
                 diagnosis of heart disease, thus proposed model is
                 termed as CRNN. The novel Adaptive Electric Fish
                 Optimization (A-EFO) is used for performing feature
                 learning and classification. In the final step, the
                 best accuracy is achieved with the introduced model,
                 while a comparative analysis is accomplished over the
                 traditional models. From the experimental analysis, FDR
                 of A-EFO-CRNN at 75\% learning percentage is 21.05\%,
                 15\%, 48.89\%, and 71.95\% progressed than CRNN, CNN,
                 RNN, and NN, respectively. Thus, the performance of the
                 A-EFO-CRNN is enriched than the existing
                 heuristic-oriented and classifiers in terms of the
                 image dataset.",

  abstract =     "Earlier identification of brain tumor (BT) is
                 essential to increase the survival rate of the
                 patients. The commonly used imaging technique for BT
                 diagnosis is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
                 Automated BT classification model is required for
                 assisting the radiologists to save time and enhance
                 efficiency. The classification of BT is difficult owing
                 to the non-uniform shapes of tumors and location of
                 tumors in the brain. Therefore, deep learning (DL)
                 models can be employed for the effective
                 identification, prediction, and diagnosis of diseases.
                 In this view, this paper presents an automated BT
                 diagnosis using rat swarm optimization (RSO) with deep
                 learning based capsule network (DLCN) model, named
                 RSO-DLCN model. The presented RSO-DLCN model involves
                 bilateral filtering (BF) based preprocessing to enhance
                 the quality of the MRI. Besides, non-iterative grabcut
                 based segmentation (NIGCS) technique is applied to
                 detect the affected tumor regions. In addition, DLCN
                 model based feature extractor with RSO algorithm based
                 parameter optimization processes takes place. Finally,
                 extreme learning machine with stacked autoencoder
                 (ELM-SA) based classifier is employed for the effective
                 classification of BT. For validating the BT diagnostic
                 performance of the presented RSO-DLCN model, an
                 extensive set of simulations were carried out and the
                 results are inspected under diverse dimensions. The
                 simulation outcome demonstrated the promising results
                 of the RSO-DLCN model on BT diagnosis with the
                 sensitivity of 98.4%, specificity of 99%, and accuracy
                 of 98.7%.",

  abstract =     "In recent times, the healthcare industry has been
                 generating a significant amount of data in distinct
                 formats, such as electronic health records (EHR),
                 clinical trials, genetic data, payments, scientific
                 articles, wearables, and care management databases.
                 Data science is useful for analysis (pattern
                 recognition, hypothesis testing, risk valuation) and
                 prediction. The major, primary usage of data science in
                 the healthcare domain is in medical imaging. At the
                 same time, lung cancer diagnosis has become a hot
                 research topic, as automated disease detection poses
                 numerous benefits. Although numerous approaches have
                 existed in the literature for lung cancer diagnosis,
                 the design of a novel model to automatically identify
                 lung cancer is a challenging task. In this view, this
                 paper designs an automated machine learning (ML) with
                 data science-enabled lung cancer diagnosis and
                 classification (MLDS-LCDC) using computed tomography
                 (CT) images. The presented model initially employs
                 Gaussian filtering (GF)-based pre-processing technique
                 on the CT images collected from the lung cancer
                 database. Besides, they are fed into the normalized
                 cuts (Ncuts) technique where the nodule in the
                 pre-processed image can be determined. Moreover, the
                 oriented FAST and rotated BRIEF (ORB) technique is
                 applied as a feature extractor. At last, sunflower
                 optimization-based wavelet neural network (SFO-WNN)
                 model is employed for the classification of lung
                 cancer. In order to examine the diagnostic outcome of
                 the MLDS-LCDC model, a set of experiments were carried
                 out and the results are investigated in terms of
                 different aspects. The resultant values demonstrated
                 the effectiveness of the MLDS-LCDC model over the other
                 state-of-the-art methods with the maximum sensitivity
                 of 97.01%, specificity of 98.64%, and accuracy of

  abstract =     "Recent healthcare systems are defined as highly
                 complex and expensive. But it can be decreased with
                 enhanced electronic health records (EHR) management,
                 using blockchain technology. The healthcare sector in
                 today's world needs to address two major issues, namely
                 data ownership and data security. Therefore, blockchain
                 technology is employed to access and distribute the
                 EHRs. With this motivation, this paper presents novel
                 data ownership and secure medical data transmission
                 model using optimal multiple key-based homomorphic
                 encryption (MHE) with Hyperledger blockchain
                 (OMHE-HBC). The presented OMHE-HBC model enables the
                 patients to access their own data, provide permission
                 to hospital authorities, revoke permission from
                 hospital authorities, and permit emergency contacts.
                 The proposed model involves the MHE technique to
                 securely transmit the data to the cloud and prevent
                 unauthorized access to it. Besides, the optimal key
                 generation process in the MHE technique takes place
                 using a hosted cuckoo optimization (HCO) algorithm. In
                 addition, the proposed model enables sharing of EHRs by
                 the use of multi-channel HBC, which makes use of one
                 blockchain to save patient visits and another one for
                 the medical institutions in recoding links that point
                 to EHRs stored in external systems. A complete set of
                 experiments were carried out in order to validate the
                 performance of the suggested model, and the results
                 were analyzed under many aspects. A comprehensive
                 comparison of results analysis reveals that the
                 suggested model outperforms the other techniques.",

  abstract =     "In recent years, biometric authentication systems have
                 remained a hot research topic, as they can recognize or
                 authenticate a person by comparing their data to other
                 biometric data stored in a database. Fingerprints, palm
                 prints, hand vein, finger vein, palm vein, and other
                 anatomic or behavioral features have all been used to
                 develop a variety of biometric approaches. Finger vein
                 recognition (FVR) is a common method of examining the
                 patterns of the finger veins for proper authentication
                 among the various biometrics. Finger vein acquisition,
                 preprocessing, feature extraction, and authentication
                 are all part of the proposed intelligent deep
                 learning-based FVR (IDL-FVR) model. Infrared imaging
                 devices have primarily captured the use of finger
                 veins. Furthermore, a region of interest extraction
                 process is carried out in order to save the finger
                 part. The shark smell optimization algorithm is used to
                 tune the hyperparameters of the bidirectional
                 long--short-term memory model properly. Finally, an
                 authentication process based on Euclidean distance is
                 performed, which compares the features of the current
                 finger vein image to those in the database. The IDL-FVR
                 model surpassed the earlier methods by accomplishing a
                 maximum accuracy of 99.93%. Authentication is
                 successful when the Euclidean distance is small and

                 concerning the emotional together with the physical
                 state of a human. In the last few years, FE Recognition
                 (FER) has turned out to be a propitious research field.
                 FER is the chief processing technique for non-verbal

                 Feature Learning (FL) for the network model, and it has
                 made several research achievements in FER. Here, the

  abstract =     "Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is basically a progressive
                 neurodegenerative disorder associated with abnormal
                 brain networks that affect millions of elderly people
                 and degrades their quality of life. The abnormalities
                 in brain networks are due to the disruption of White
                 Matter (WM) fiber tracts that connect the brain
                 regions. Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) captures the
                 brain's WM integrity. Here, the correlation betwixt the
                 WM degeneration and also AD is investigated by
                 utilizing graph theory as well as Machine Learning (ML)
                 algorithms. By using the DW image obtained from
                 Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI)
                 database, the brain graph of each subject is
                 constructed. The features extracted from the brain
                 graph form the basis to differentiate between Mild
                 Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Control Normal (CN) and AD
                 subjects. Performance evaluation is done using binary
                 and multiclass classification algorithms and obtained
                 an accuracy that outperforms the current top-notch
                 DWI-based studies.",

  abstract =     "Rice is a significant cereal crop across the world. In
                 rice cultivation, different types of sowing methods are
                 followed, and thus bring in issues regarding sampling
                 collection. Climate, soil, water level, and a
                 diversified variety of crop seeds (hybrid and
                 traditional varieties) and the period of growth are
                 some of the challenges. This survey mainly focuses on
                 rice crop diseases which affect the parts namely
                 leaves, stems, roots, and spikelet; it mainly focuses
                 on leaf-based diseases. Existing methods for diagnosing
                 leaf disease include statistical approaches, data
                 mining, image processing, machine learning, and deep

  abstract =     "In the present digital era, the exploitation of
                 medical technologies and massive generation of medical
                 data using different imaging modalities, adequate
                 storage, management, and transmission of biomedical
                 images necessitate image compression techniques. Vector
                 quantization (VQ) is an effective image compression
                 approach, and the widely employed VQ technique is
                 Linde--Buzo--Gray (LBG), which generates local optimum
                 codebooks for image compression. The codebook
                 construction is treated as an optimization issue solved
                 with utilization of metaheuristic optimization
                 techniques. In this view, this paper designs an
                 effective biomedical image compression technique in the
                 cloud computing (CC) environment using Harris Hawks
                 Optimization (HHO)-based LBG techniques. The HHO-LBG
                 algorithm achieves a smooth transition among
                 exploration as well as exploitation. To investigate the
                 better performance of the HHO-LBG technique, an
                 extensive set of simulations was carried out on
                 benchmark biomedical images. The proposed HHO-LBG
                 technique has accomplished promising results in terms
                 of compression performance and reconstructed image
                 quality.",

  abstract =     "The degraded image during the process of image
                 analysis needs more number of iterations to restore it.
                 These iterations take long waiting time and slow
                 scanning, resulting in inefficient image restoration. A
                 few numbers of measurements are enough to recuperate an
                 image with good condition. Due to tree sparsity, a 2D
                 wavelet tree reduces the number of coefficients and
                 iterations to restore the degraded image. All the
                 wavelet coefficients are extracted with overlaps as low
                 and high sub-band space and ordered them such that they
                 are decomposed in the tree ordering structured path.
                 Some articles have addressed the problems with tree
                 sparsity and total variation (TV), but few authors
                 endorsed the benefits of tree sparsity. In this paper,
                 a spatial variation regularization algorithm based on
                 tree order is implemented to change the window size and
                 variation estimators to reduce the loss of image
                 information and to solve the problem of image smoothing
                 operation. The acceptance rate of the tree-structured
                 path relies on local variation estimators to regularize
                 the performance parameters and update them to restore
                 the image. For this, the Localized Total Variation
                 (LTV) method is proposed and implemented on a 2D
                 wavelet tree ordering structured path based on the
                 proposed image smooth adjustment scheme. In the end, a
                 reliable reordering algorithm proposed to reorder the
                 set of pixels and to increase the reliability of the
                 restored image. Simulation results clearly show that
                 the proposed method improved the performance compared
                 to existing methods of image restoration.",

  abstract =     "In the current era of technological development,
                 medical imaging plays an important role in many
                 applications of medical diagnosis and therapy. In this
                 regard, medical image fusion could be a powerful tool
                 to combine multi-modal images by using image processing
                 techniques. But, conventional approaches failed to
                 provide the effective image quality assessments and
                 robustness of fused image. To overcome these drawbacks,
                 in this work three-stage multiscale decomposition
                 (TSMSD) using pulse-coupled neural networks with
                 adaptive arguments (PCNN-AA) approach is proposed for
                 multi-modal medical image fusion. Initially,
                 nonsubsampled shearlet transform (NSST) is applied onto
                 the source images to decompose them into low frequency
                 and high frequency bands. Then, low frequency bands of
                 both the source images are fused using nonlinear
                 anisotropic filtering with discrete Karhunen--Loeve
                 transform (NLAF-DKLT) methodology. Next, high frequency
                 bands obtained from NSST are fused using PCNN-AA
                 approach. Now, fused low frequency and high frequency
                 bands are reconstructed using NSST reconstruction.
                 Finally, band fusion rule algorithm with pyramid
                 reconstruction is applied to get final fused medical
                 image. Extensive simulation outcome discloses the
                 superiority of proposed TSMSD using PCNN-AA approach as
                 compared to state-of-the-art medical image fusion
                 methods in terms of fusion quality metrics such as
                 entropy (E), mutual information (MI), mean (M),
                 standard deviation (STD), correlation coefficient (CC)
                 and computational complexity.",

                 The wound or ulcer found which is found in diabetic
                 patients consumes more time to heal, also required more

  abstract =     "Recently, melanoma became one of the deadliest forms
                 of skin cancer due to ultraviolet rays. The diagnosis
                 of melanoma is very crucial if it is not identified in
                 the early stages and later on, in the advanced stages,
                 it affects the other organs of the body, too. Earlier
                 identification of melanoma plays a major role in the
                 survival chances of a human. The manual detection of
                 tumor thickness is a very difficult task so dermoscopy
                 is used to measure the thickness of the tumor which is
                 a non-invasive method. Computer-aided diagnosis is one
                 of the greatest evolutions in the medical sector, this
                 system helps the doctors for the automated diagnosis of
                 the disease because it improves accurate disease

  abstract =     "Medical image fusion plays a significant role in
                 medical diagnosis applications. Although the
                 conventional approaches have produced moderate visual
                 analysis, still there is a scope to improve the
                 performance parameters and reduce the computational
                 complexity. Thus, this article implemented the hybrid
                 fusion method by using the novel implementation of
                 joint slope analysis (JSA), probabilistic parametric
                 steered image filtration (PPSIF), and deep learning
                 convolutional neural networks (DLCNNs)-based SR Fusion
                 Net. Here, JSA decomposes the images to estimate
                 edge-based slopes and develops the edge-preserving
                 approximate layers from the multi-modal medical images.
                 Further, PPSIF is used to generate the feature fusion
                 with base layer-based weight maps. Then, the SR Fusion
                 Net is used to generate the spatial and texture
                 feature-based weight maps. Finally, optimal fusion rule
                 is applied on the detail layers generated from the base
                 layer and approximate layer, which resulted in the
                 fused outcome. The proposed method is capable of
                 performing the fusion operation between various
                 modalities of images, such as MRI-CT, MRI-PET, and
                 MRI-SPECT combinations by using two different
                 architectures. The simulation results show that the
                 proposed method resulted in better subjective and
                 objective performance as compared to state of art
                 approaches.",

                 computed tomography (CT) technologies has been
                 accompanied by equally exciting advances in image
                 reconstruction algorithms. Of the two reconstruction
                 algorithms, analytical and iterative, iterative
                 reconstruction (IR) algorithms have become a clinically
                 viable option in CT imaging. The first CT scanners in
                 the early 1970s used IR algorithms, but lack of
                 computation power prevented their clinical use. In
                 2009, the first IR algorithms became commercially
                 available and replaced conventionally established
                 analytical algorithms as filtered back projection.
                 Since then, IR has played a vital role in the field of
                 radiology. Although all available IR algorithms share
                 the common mechanism of artifact reduction and/or
                 potential for radiation dose reduction, the magnitude
                 of these effects depends upon specific IR algorithms.
                 IR reconstructs images by iteratively optimizing an
                 objective function. The objective function typically
                 consists of a data integrity term and a regularization
                 term. Therefore, different regularization priors are
                 used in IR algorithms. This paper will briefly look at
                 the overall evolution of CT image reconstruction and
                 the regularization priors used in IR algorithms.
                 Finally, a discussion is presented based on the reality
                 of various reconstruction methodologies at a glance to
                 find the preferred one. Consequently, we will present
                 anticipation towards future advancements in this
                 domain.",

                 robot is driving on the sidewalk, a novel sidewalk
                 detection algorithm from the first-person perspective
                 is proposed, which is crucial for robot navigation. The
                 algorithm starts from the illumination invariance graph
                 of the sidewalk image, and the sidewalk ``seeds'' are
                 selected dynamically to get the sidewalk features for
                 unsupervised feature learning. The final sidewalk
                 region will be extracted by multi-threshold adaptive
                 segmentation and connectivity processing. The key
                 innovations of the proposed algorithm are the method of
                 illumination invariance based on PCA and the
                 unsupervised feature learning for sidewalk detection.
                 With the PCA-based illumination invariance, it can
                 calculate the lighting invariance angle dynamically to
                 remove the impact of illumination and different brick
                 colors' influence on sidewalk detection. Then the
                 sidewalk features are selected dynamically using the
                 parallel geometric structure of the sidewalk, and the
                 confidence region of the sidewalk is obtained through
                 unsupervised feature learning. The proposed method can
                 effectively suppress the effects of shadows and
                 different colored bricks in the sidewalk area. The
                 experimental result proves that the F-measure of the
                 proposed algorithm can reach 93.11% and is at least
                 7.7% higher than the existing algorithm.",

                 in a programming machine is called Artificial

                 such a way to make them interesting, especially in
                 chess games. This paper proposes a hybrid optimization
                 tuned neural network (NN) to establish a winning
                 strategy in the chess game by generating the possible
                 next moves in the game. Initially, the images from

                 NN classifier. The proposed Locust Mayfly algorithm is
                 utilized to optimally tune the weights of the NN

  abstract =     "Face detection is a computer technology being used in
                 a variety of applications that identify human faces in
                 digital images. In many face recognition challenges,
                 Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are regarded as a
                 problem solver. Occlusion is determined as the most
                 common challenge of face recognition in realistic
                 applications. Several studies are undergoing to obtain
                 face recognition without any challenges. However, the
                 occurrence of noise and occlusion in the image reduces
                 the achievement of face recognition. Hence, various
                 researches and studies are carried out to solve the
                 challenges involved with the occurrence of occlusion
                 and noise in the image, and more clarification is
                 needed to acquire high accuracy. Hence, a deep learning
                 model is intended to be developed in this paper using
                 the meta-heuristic approach. The proposed model covers
                 four main steps: (a) data acquisition, (b)
                 pre-processing, (c) pattern extraction and (d)
                 classification. The benchmark datasets regarding the
                 face image with occlusion are gathered from a public
                 source. Further, the pre-processing of the images is
                 performed by contrast enhancement and Gabor filtering.
                 With these pre-processed images, pattern extraction is
                 done by the optimal local mesh ternary pattern. Here,
                 the hybrid Whale--Galactic Swarm Optimization (WGSO)
                 algorithm is used for developing the optimal local mesh
                 ternary pattern extraction. By inputting the
                 pattern-extracted image, the new deep learning model
                 namely ``CNN with Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU)'' network
                 performs the recognition process to maximize the
                 accuracy, and also it is used to enhance the face
                 recognition model. From the results, in terms of
                 accuracy, the proposed WGSO- CNN+GRU model is better by
                 4.02%, 3.76% and 2.17% than the CNN, SVM and SRC,
                 respectively. The experimental results are presented by
                 performing their comparative analysis on a standard
                 dataset, and they assure the efficiency of the proposed
                 model. However, many challenging problems related to
                 face recognition still exist, which offer excellent
                 opportunities to face recognition researchers in the
                 future.",

  abstract =     "Scientific studies of the elements that influence the
                 box office performance of Indian films have generally
                 concentrated on post-production elements, such as those
                 discovered after a film has been completed or released,
                 and notably for Bollywood films. Only fewer studies
                 have looked at regional film industries and
                 pre-production factors, which are elements that are
                 known before a decision to greenlight a film is made.
                 This study looked at Indian films using natural
                 language processing and machine learning approaches to
                 see if they would be profitable in the pre-production
                 stage. We extract movie data and English subtitles (as
                 an approximation to the screenplay) for the top five
                 Indian regional film industries: Bollywood, Kollywood,
                 Tollywood, Mollywood, and Sandalwood, as they make up a
                 major portion of the Indian film industry's revenue.
                 Subtitle Vector (Sub2Vec), a Paragraph Vector model
                 trained on English subtitles, was used to embed
                 subtitle text into 50 and 100 dimensions. The proposed
                 approach followed a two-stage pipeline. In the first
                 stage, Return on Investment (ROI) was calculated using
                 aggregated subtitle embeddings and associated movie
                 data. Classification models used the ROI calculated in
                 the first step to predicting a film's verdict in the
                 second step. The optimal regressor--classifier pair was
                 determined by evaluating classification models using
                 F_{1} -score and Cohen's Kappa scores on various
                 hyperparameters. When compared to benchmark methods,
                 our proposed methodology forecasts box office success
                 more accurately.",

  abstract =     "Due to the significance of aquatic robotics and marine
                 engineering, the underwater video enhancement has
                 gained huge attention. Thus, a video enhancement
                 method, namely Manta Ray Foraging Lion
                 Optimization-based fusion Convolutional Neural Network
                 (MRFLO-based fusion CNN) algorithm is developed in this
                 research for enhancing the quality of the underwater
                 videos. The MRFLO is developed by merging the Lion
                 Optimization Algorithm (LOA) and Manta Ray Foraging
                 Optimization (MRFO). The blur in the input video frame
                 is detected and estimated through the Laplacian's
                 variance method. The fusion CNN classifier is used for
                 deblurring the frame by combining both the input frame
                 and blur matrix. The fusion CNN classifier is tuned by
                 the developed MRFLO algorithm. The pixel of the
                 deblurred frame is enhanced using the Type II Fuzzy
                 system and Cuckoo Search optimization algorithm filter
                 (T2FCS filter). The developed MRFLO-based fusion CNN
                 algorithm uses the metrics, Underwater Image Quality

                 of 0.9593, MSE of 3.2214, UIQM of 3.0041 and UCIQE of

  abstract =     "Cardiomegaly is a radiographic abnormality, and it has
                 significant prognosis importance in the population.
                 Chest X-ray images can identify it. Early detection of
                 cardiomegaly reduces the risk of congestive heart
                 failure and systolic dysfunction. Due to the lack of
                 radiologists, there is a demand for the artificial
                 intelligence tool for the early detection of
                 cardiomegaly. The cardiomegaly X-ray dataset is
                 extracted from the cheXpert database. Totally, 46195
                 X-ray records with a different view such as AP view, PA
                 views, and lateral views are used to train and validate
                 the proposed model. The artificial intelligence app
                 named CardioXpert is constructed based on deep neural
                 network. The transfer learning approach is adopted to
                 increase the prediction metrics, and an optimized
                 training method called adaptive movement estimation is
                 used. Three different transfer learning-based deep
                 neural networks named APNET, PANET, and LateralNET are
                 constructed for each view of X-ray images. Finally,
                 certainty-based fusion is performed to enrich the
                 prediction accuracy, and it is named CardioXpert. As
                 the proposed method is based on the largest
                 cardiomegaly dataset, hold-out validation is performed
                 to verify the prediction accuracy of the proposed
                 model. An unseen dataset validates the model. These
                 deep neural networks, APNET, PANET, and LateralNET, are
                 individually validated, and then the fused network
                 CardioXpert is validated. The proposed model
                 CardioXpert provides an accuracy of 93.6%, which is the
                 highest at this time for this dataset. It also yields
                 the highest sensitivity of 94.7% and a precision of
                 97.7%. These prediction metrics prove that the proposed
                 model outperforms all the state-of-the-art deep
                 transfer learning methods for diagnosing cardiomegaly
                 thoracic disorder. The proposed deep learning neural
                 network model is deployed as the web app. The
                 cardiologist can use this prognostic app to predict
                 cardiomegaly disease faster and more robust in the
                 early state by using low-cost and chest X-ray images.",

  abstract =     "Twitter Spam has turned out to be a significant
                 predicament of these days. Current works concern on
                 exploiting the machine learning models to detect the
                 spams in Twitter by determining the statistic features
                 of the tweets. Even though these models result in
                 better success, it is hard to sustain the performances
                 attained by the supervised approaches. This paper
                 intends to introduce a deep learning-assisted spam
                 classification model on twitter. This classification is
                 based on sentiments and topics modeled in it. The
                 initial step is data collection. Subsequently, the
                 collected data are preprocessed with ``stop word
                 removal, stemming and tokenization''. The next step is
                 feature extraction, wherein, the post tagging,
                 headwords, rule-based lexicon, word length, and
                 weighted holoentropy features are extracted. Then, the
                 proposed sentiment score extraction is carried out to
                 analyze their variations in nonspam and spam
                 information. At last, the diffusions of spam data on
                 Twitter are classified into spam and nonspams. For
                 this, an Optimized Deep Ensemble technique is
                 introduced that encloses ``neural network (NN), support
                 vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF) and
                 convolutional neural network (DNN)''. Particularly, the
                 weights of DNN are optimally tuned by an arithmetic
                 crossover-based cat swarm optimization (AC-CS) model.
                 At last, the supremacy of the developed approach is
                 examined via evaluation over extant techniques.
                 Accordingly, the proposed AC-CS + ensemble model
                 attained better accuracy value when the learning
                 percentage is 80, which is 18.1%, 14.89%, 11.7%,
                 12.77%, 10.64%, 6.38%, 6.38%, and 6.38% higher than
                 SVM, DNN, RNN, DBN, MFO + ensemble model, WOA +

  abstract =     "One of the most significant challenges appears to be
                 securing the Internet of Things (IoT) communication
                 network. As a corollary, information security has
                 become the basis for establishing trustworthiness in
                 IoT network communication. Cryptography is one of the
                 ways for securing information in this case. However,
                 the majority of current approaches are static, making
                 them subject to security threats. As a consequence, a
                 new concept, dynamic encryption, is growing rapidly in
                 IoT communication. In this paper, a dynamic encryption
                 algorithm (DSIT) has been proposed to secure IoT
                 communication. This algorithm is based on Feistel and
                 Substitution--Permutation Network. DSIT is a block
                 cipher that takes the 64-bit block of plaintext, 64-bit
                 secret key, and a secret dynamic box (D-box) as input.
                 It produces a 64-bit ciphertext by performing eight
                 rounds of the DSIT algorithm. For each round, the key
                 and D-box are updated. This dynamic effect provides
                 high security to a dynamic IoT network. The proposed
                 algorithm has been executed in IoT environment using
                 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B + and 50% average Avalanche
                 effect has been achieved. The proposed algorithm
                 efficiently encrypts the image data to secure the
                 communication and high resistant to cryptanalysis
                 attacks.",

  abstract =     "Nowadays, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) attracts the
                 interest of many researchers in solving the remote
                 sensing problems especially in various specific domains
                 such as agriculture, snow/ice, object detection and
                 environmental monitoring. In the previous literature,
                 various attempts have been made to extract the critical
                 information through hyperspectral imaging which is not
                 possible through multispectral imaging (MSI). The
                 classification in image processing is one of the
                 important steps to categorize and label the pixels
                 based on some specific rules. There are various
                 supervised and unsupervised approaches which can be
                 used for classification. Since the past decades,
                 various classifiers have been developed and improved to
                 meet the requirement of remote sensing researchers.
                 However, each method has its own merits and demerits
                 and is not applicable in all scenarios. Past literature
                 also concluded that deep learning classifiers are more
                 preferable as compared to machine learning classifiers
                 due to various advantages such as lesser training time
                 for model generation, handle complex data and lesser
                 user intervention requirements. This paper aims to
                 perform the review on various machine learning and deep
                 learning-based classifiers for HSI classification along
                 with challenges and remedial solution of deep learning
                 with hyperspectral imaging. This work also highlights
                 the various limitations of the classifiers which can be
                 resolved with developments and incorporation of
                 well-defined techniques.",

  abstract =     "The advent in graphic rendering software and
                 technological progress in hardware can generate or
                 modify photorealistic computer graphic (CG) images that
                 are difficult to identify by human observers.
                 Computer-generated images are used in magazines, film
                 and advertisement industry, medical and insurance
                 agencies, social media, and law agencies as an
                 information carrier. The forged computer-generated
                 image created by the malicious user may distort social
                 stability and impacts on public opinion. Hence, the
                 precise identification of computer graphic and
                 photographic image (PG) is a significant and
                 challenging task. In the last two decades, several
                 researchers have proposed different algorithms with
                 impressive accuracy rate, including a recent addition
                 of deep learning methods. This comprehensive survey
                 presents techniques dealing with CG and PG image
                 classification using machine learning and deep
                 learning. In the beginning, broad classification of all
                 the methods in to five categories is discussed in
                 addition to generalized framework of CG detection.
                 Subsequently, all the significant works are surveyed
                 and are grouped into five types: image statistics
                 methods, acquisition device properties-based
                 techniques, color, texture, and geometry-based methods,
                 hybrid methods, and deep learning methods. The
                 advantages and limitations of CG detection methods are
                 also presented. Finally, major challenges and future
                 trends in the CG and PG image identification field are
                 discussed.",

                 a typical issue among working experts in the business
                 today. With changing way of life and work societies,
                 there is an expansion in the stress among the

                 issue is a long way from control. When it comes to
                 Pregnant Women, the uterus climate assumes a
                 fundamental part in future development and improvement
                 of hatchling. Stress during pregnancy will influence

                 interpolation problem based on two-dimensional discrete
                 wavelet transform (DWT) with the edge preserving
                 approach. The purpose of this method is to consider two
                 contrasting issues of over-smoothing and creation of
                 spurious edges at the same time, and offer a novel
                 solution based on statistical dependencies of image
                 sub-bands, and noise behavior. The offered method has a
                 multi-faceted approach for the problem; by sub-band
                 coding, it handles each 2D-DWT image sub-band with a
                 different solution. For LH and HL sub-bands, two
                 algorithms work together in order to preserve
                 regularity. Area_Check algorithm is a four-phase
                 edge-preserving algorithm that aims to recognize and
                 interpolate separating lines of environments and edgy
                 regions in the best possible way. On the other hand,
                 RLS_AVG algorithm interpolates smooth surfaces of the
                 image by keeping the regularity of the image without
                 over-smoothing. In this regard, the offered algorithm
                 has a great power to counter jaggies and annoying
                 artifacts. In the end, in order to demonstrate the
                 capability, and performance of the proposed method, the
                 final results in various metrics are compared with the

                 intestine is also known as wireless capsule endoscopy
                 (WCE). Performance, safety, tolerance, and efficacy are
                 the several concerns that make adaptation challenging
                 and wide applicability. In addition, to detect
                 abnormalities, the great importance is the automatic
                 analysis of the WCE dataset. These issues are resolved
                 by numerous vision-based and computer-aided solutions.
                 But, they want further enhancements and do not give the
                 accuracy at the desired level. In order to solve these
                 issues, this paper presents the detection and
                 classification of WCE infected images by a deep neural
                 network and utilizes a bleed image recognizer (BIR)
                 that associates the MobileNetV2 design to classify the
                 images of WCE infected. For the opening-level
                 evaluation, the BIR uses the MobileNetV2 model for its
                 minimum computation power necessity, and then the
                 outcome is sent to the CNN for more processing. Then,
                 Bi-LSTM with an attention mechanism is used to improve
                 the performance level of the model. Hybrid attention
                 Bi-LSTM design yields more accurate classification
                 outcomes. The proposed scheme is implemented in the
                 Python platform and the performance is evaluated by
                 Cohen's kappa, F1-score, recall, accuracy, and
                 precision. The implementation outcomes show that the
                 introduced scheme achieved maximum accuracy of 0.996
                 with data augmentation with the dataset of WCE images

  abstract =     "In modern society, digital images can be far-reaching,
                 and the images are manipulated by various software and
                 hardware technologies. The image forgery activities are
                 undertaken by the attackers mainly for damaging the
                 reputation of people or receiving fiscal gain, etc.
                 Taking this into consideration, many techniques are
                 developed to detect the forged images. In this paper, a
                 new deep learning-based approach is introduced for
                 copy-move forgery detection. The input images are
                 segmented into non-overlapping patches using
                 superpixel-based modified dense peak clustering and the
                 features are extracted from the segmented patches by
                 applying deep learning structure of attention-based
                 DenseNet 121 model. Besides, to compare every block,
                 the depth of each pixel is reconstructed, and
                 eventually matching process is carried out using the
                 adaptive chimp patch matching approach, which detects
                 the suspicious forged regions in an image. Finally, the
                 matched keypoints are merged with the segmented patches
                 using the merged keypoint matching algorithm. As a
                 result, the new deep learning approach has detected the
                 forged regions efficiently from the tampered image with
                 less time even the image is compressed, rotated, or
                 scaled. The performance is evaluated in terms of
                 recall, precision, accuracy, F1-score, computational
                 time, and False Positive Rate (FPR). Moreover, the
                 performance is compared with the other existing
                 approaches, and the outcomes showed that the proposed
                 method has achieved higher accuracy of 97%, recall of
                 99%, precision of 97.84%, F1-score of 98.81%, FPR of
                 0.022 and less computational time of 2.5 s.",

                 non-communicable diseases in those women who do not
                 take proper nutrients in their meals. Medically, it is
                 not proven that an unhealthy diet is the only cause of
                 PCOS, but it is one of the major causes behind this
                 disease. PCOS is an endocrine disorder that influences
                 8--10% of women at their reproductive age and may cause
                 infertility or other health problems. Deep Learning
                 (DL) is a popular technique to classify the food images
                 for identifying the nutrients in the food. This work

                 technologies are constantly evolving, resulting in a
                 wide range of multimodality therapeutic pictures for
                 clinical illness investigation. Physicians often
                 require medical images produced using various
                 modalities such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic
                 resonance (MR), and positron emission computed
                 tomography (PET) for clinical diagnosis. Many deep
                 learning-based fusion methods have recently been
                 proposed. In Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based
                 fusion methods, only the last layer results are used as
                 the image features, which result in the loss of useful
                 information at middle layers. The fusion rule, based on
                 the weighted averaging, causes noises in the source
                 images and suppresses salient features of the image. In
                 order to solve these issues, this paper proposes
                 medical image fusion using Enhanced CNN (ECNN)- and
                 Opposition-based Monarch Butterfly Optimization
                 (OMBO)-based adaptive weighted fusion rule (AWFR). The
                 ECNN contains feature extraction and reconstruction
                 components. Both these components are trained in order
                 to minimize the pixel loss and structural similarity
                 loss. A pair of multimodal medical image is passed as
                 input to the ECNN model to extract the low level and
                 high level features. For the extracted features from
                 ECNN, weighted fusion rule is applied in which OMBO
                 algorithm is applied to adaptively optimize the weights
                 of the fusion rule.",

  abstract =     "For Compressive Sensing problems, a number of
                 techniques have been introduced, including traditional
                 compressed-sensing (CS) image reconstruction and Deep
                 Neural Network (DNN) models. Unfortunately, due to low
                 sampling rates, the quality of image reconstruction is
                 still poor. This paper proposes a lossy image
                 compression model (i.e. BCS-AE), which combines two
                 different types to produce a model that uses more
                 high-quality low-bitrate CS reconstruction. Initially,
                 block-based compressed sensing (BCS) was utilized, and
                 it was done one block at a time by the same operator.
                 It can correctly extract images with complex geometric
                 configurations. Second, we create an AutoEncoder
                 architecture to replace traditional transforms, and we
                 train it with a rate-distortion loss function. The
                 proposed model is trained and then tested on the CelebA
                 and Kodak databases. According to the results, advanced
                 deep learning-based and iterative optimization-based

  abstract =     "Soil Moisture (SM) is an environmental descriptor,
                 which acts as the affiliation between the atmosphere
                 and the earth's surface. Various SM retrieval methods
                 are developed to abolish the influence of vegetation
                 cover attenuation, surface roughness, and scattering to
                 find an association among SM and backscatter
                 coefficient. To understand the relationship between
                 various vegetation parameters and backscatter
                 coefficient poses a great challenge in SM retrieval.
                 Hence, an efficacious SM retrieval method is afforded
                 using the proposed Sail Squirrel Search
                 Optimization-based Deep Convolutional Neural Network
                 (SSSO-based Deep CNN). Here, the proposed SSSO is
                 derived by concatenating the Sail Fish Optimization
                 (SFO) with Squirrel Search Algorithm (SSA). The Deep
                 CNN performs the process of SM retrieval using
                 vegetation indices. The fitness measure of the proposed
                 optimization enables to find the best solution to
                 update the weights of the classifier for increasing the
                 efficiency of the retrieval mechanism. By training Deep
                 CNN with the proposed optimization, the soil moisture
                 of an area is effectively retrieved. However, the
                 proposed SSSO-based Deep CNN obtained minimal
                 estimation error and minimal RMSE of 0.550 and 0.726

  abstract =     "The interest of this paper is in reduction of impulse
                 noise in digital color images. The two main methods
                 used for noise reduction in images are the mean and
                 median filters. These techniques operate by replacing
                 the test pixel in a chosen window by a new filtered
                 pixel value. The window is made to iteratively slide
                 across the entire image to reconstruct a new noise
                 reduced image. The mean filters suffer from the effect
                 of smoothing out color contrast and edges due to
                 leveraging the unrepresentative pixels in the filtering
                 process. The vector median filter and its variants
                 overcome this problem by considering only the most
                 representative pixel in the chosen window. The most
                 representative pixel, i.e. the pixel that is of highest
                 conformity to take the place of the test pixel, is
                 determined by minimizing the aggregate distance from
                 one pixel to every other pixel in the window. The
                 problem in these median filtering approaches is that
                 only one pixel is treated as representative of all the
                 pixels in the chosen window. This conjecture could lead
                 to information loss due to marginalizing other pixels
                 that also are representative of the center pixel. In
                 this paper, we propose a selective mean filtering
                 process to overcome the said problem. The key idea here
                 is to determine the most representative pixels in the
                 window using the method of aggregate distances and then
                 compute the mean of these pixels. This approach will
                 perform better than the vector median filters as now a
                 set of representative pixels are leveraged into the
                 filtering process. Simulation results show that the
                 proposed method performs better than the conventional
                 vector median filtering methods in terms of noise
                 reduction and structural similarity and thus validates
                 the proposed approach. Moreover, the method is tested
                 on real MRI scan images in successfully reducing
                 impulse noise for improved medical diagnosis.",

  abstract =     "The blurring of texture edges often occurs during
                 image data transmission and acquisition. To ensure the
                 detailed clarity of the drag-time images, we propose a
                 time image de-noising method based on sparse
                 regularization. First, the image pixel sparsity index
                 is set, and then an image de-noising model is
                 established based on sparse regularization processing
                 to obtain the neighborhood weights of similar image
                 blocks. Second, a time image de-noising algorithm is
                 designed to determine whether the coding coefficient
                 reaches the standard value, and a new image de-noising
                 method is obtained. Finally, the images of electronic
                 clocks and mechanical clocks are used as two kinds of
                 time images to compare different image de-noising
                 methods, respectively. The results show that the
                 sparsity regularization method has the highest peak
                 signal-to-noise ratio among the six compared methods
                 for different noise standard deviations and two time
                 images. The image structure similarity is always above
