Humans judge the quality of fruits based on sensory attributes like taste, aroma etc. The shape, size, color, presence of defects which are external to fruits also influence the degree of consumer acceptability of produce. The traditional time consuming, manual fruit quality inspection is replaced by automated, fast, consistent, non-destructive techniques using computer vision in combination with learning algorithms. But the lack of benchmark datasets for agricultural produce has made an objective comparison of the proposed methods difficult. Hence, the proposed work aims to build a medium scale dataset for mango fruits of “Alphonso” cultivar with three classes: chilling injury, defective and non-defective. The reliability of the proposed dataset consisting of 2279 color images of mango fruits with 736 samples in chilling injury class, 632 samples in defective class and 911 samples in non-defective class, was established using a novel approach of developing a predictive model based on discriminant function analysis (DFA) which assigns group membership to each sample of the dataset. Extensive benchmarking analysis is established on the validated dataset using statistical and deep learning algorithms like support vector machine (SVM) and convolutional neural network (CNN), respectively. SVM achieved significant disease classification accuracy of 95% and 91.52% accuracy was achieved by custom CNN. The results of the proposed work indicate that the proposed color image dataset of mango fruits can be used as a benchmark dataset by other researchers for objective comparison in quality evaluation of mango fruits.","PeriodicalId":378340,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Image, Graphics and Signal Processing","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115780185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proposed algorithms greatly vary as compared to the previous work. This work aims to improve accuracy in detection and classification and reduce feature vector dimensionality. It focuses on detailed image contents extracted into 8 bins by considering the significance of the R, G, and B color component relationship in the formation of each pixel. The texture features are represented by the first four moments for each of the three colors separately. This leads to the generation of 12 features vectors, each of size 8 components for each image in the database. Feature dimensionality reduction is achieved by applying different feature selection techniques to obtain desired optimum feature space. The comprehensive feature analysis presented here identifies many useful findings in order to validate the contribution of each image content uniquely in detection and classification. The proposed approach experimented with two image datasets: the malaria dataset obtained from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the lung image dataset acquired from the Radiography Database from Kaggle. The performance of work presented here is evaluated and compared with previous work with the same set of parameters, namely precision, recall, F1 score, and the AUC. We have achieved and improved the performances compared to previous work and also achieved better results even for the COVID-19 dataset.","PeriodicalId":378340,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Image, Graphics and Signal Processing","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130849090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of various codecs like MP3, Speex, and Adaptive multi-rate(NB & WB) are compared with the uncompressed speech signal. Loudness enlistment, or a steeper-than-normal increase in perceived loudness with presentation level, is associated with sensorineural hearing loss. Amplitude compression is frequently used to compensate for this abnormality, such as in a hearing aid. As an alternative, one may enlarge these by methods of expansion as speech intelligibility has been represented as the perception of rapid energy changes, may make communication more understandable. However, even if these signal-processing methods improve speech understanding, their design and implementation may be constrained by insufficient sound quality. Therefore, syllabic compression and temporal envelope expansion were assessed for in speech intelligibility and sound quality. An adaptive technique based on brief, commonplace words either in noise or with another speaker competing was used to assess the speech intelligibility. Speech intelligibility was tested in steady-state noise with a single competing speaker using everyday sentences. The sound quality of four artistic excerpts and quiet speech was evaluated using a rating scale. With a state-of-art, spectral error, compression error ratio, and human labeling effects, The experiments are carried out using the Telugu dataset and well-known EMO-DB. The results showed that all speech compression techniques resulted in reduce of emotion recognition accuracy. It is observed that human labeling has better recognition accuracy. For high compression, it is advised to use the overall mean of the unweighted average recall for the AMR-WB and SPEEX codecs with 6.6 bit rates to provide the optimum quality for data storage.","PeriodicalId":378340,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Image, Graphics and Signal Processing","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133649451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To observe the internal organs including liver, kidneys, pancreas, thyroid gland, ovaries etc. ultrasound can be used. In diagnostic applications, 2 to 18 MHz frequencies are used. The sound wave explorations occurred through soft tissue and fluids. It bounces back as echoes from denser surfaces and creates an image. While producing ultrasound images from echo signal speckle noise is induced in a multiplicative way. Thus, speckle becomes the key challenge for ultrasound imaging. Several speckle reducing linear, non-linear and anisotropic diffusion-based methods are implemented to preserve the sharp edges of ultrasound images. Those methods contain lake of smoothing and edge preservation. However, this research proposed a combined method of adaptive filter (wiener) and anisotropic diffusion (modified Perona Malik) for speckle reduction of 2D ultrasound images by retain the important anatomical features. A comparison of all the existing methods studied based on the simulated experiment. To test the methods liver, kidney, heart and pancreas noise free images are used. Then, speckle noise is manually added with distinguished variance in between 0.02 and 0.20. Quality metrics are used to test the performance and show the improvements of the proposed method.

To improve crop productivity, it’s very necessary to identify and classify plant diseases and prevent them from spreading further so that they do not affect the whole plant. Artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision can help detect plant diseases that humans cannot always catch and overcome the shortcomings of continuous human monitoring. In this article, we aim to detect and classify diseases in tomato and apple leaves using deep learning approaches and compare the results between different models. Because tomatoes and apples are important components of the human diet, crop waste can result in losses for both farmers and ordinary people. These plant diseases have an immediate and negative impact on both the amount and quality of yield. Crop diseases must be identified and prevented as soon as possible to improve crop yield. Therefore, we need to monitor and analyze the growth stages of the plants so that the farmers can produce disease-free and with minimal losses to the crop. Furthermore, we used the sequential convolutional neural network (CNN) model followed by transfer learning models like VGG19, Resnet152V2, Inception V3, and MobileNet and compared the models based on accuracy. The performance of the models was evaluated using various factors such as dropout, batch size, and the number of epochs. For both, the datasets, the tomato, and apple MobileNet architecture performed better than the other existing models.","PeriodicalId":378340,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Image, Graphics and Signal Processing","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129915250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
