TL;DR: An automated computer assisted framework has been proposed to analyze and detect the type of the disease from the current condition of the breast and three models have been compared in terms of accuracy.
Abstract: Breast cancer is one of the major threats to the human being. Early identification can prevent some of the premature deaths. Manual methods are sometimes very tedious and time consuming. Moreover manual diagnosis can be prone to error. Automated analysis can reduce the overhead of the manual diagnosis and reduce the error. In this work, an automated computer assisted framework has been proposed to analyze and detect the type of the disease from the current condition of the breast. Histological slides have been used for automated diagnosis. SIFT based feature selection and extraction method has been used followed by a Bag-of-Features method. The extracted features are classified by a metaheuristic supported Artificial Neural Network. Three models have been compared in terms of accuracy and obtained results are reported in a comprehensive manner.

TL;DR: In this article, a new image segmentation method is proposed which is based on galactic swarm optimization, which is a metaheuristic method based on the movement of stars, galaxies and other objects of space.
Abstract: Image segmentation is one of the most challenging and interesting research topics and draws the attention of the many researchers. Different methods have been proposed but a single method is not sufficient enough to segment a wide variety of images. Due to this reason, continuous research need to be carried out to improve the efficiency and the real life acceptability. In this work, a new image segmentation method is proposed which is based on galactic swarm optimization. Galactic swarm optimization is new metaheuristic method which is based on the movement of stars, galaxies and other objects of space. The proposed method use thresholding with the galactic swarm optimization where, the value of the threshold is to be determined by the metaheuristic algorithm. The optimal threshold value can efficiently segment an image. Experiments shows the efficiency and drawbacks of the proposed method. The advantages and problems of this method is discussed along with the future research directions.

TL;DR: An optimized classification method is proposed that can be useful in performing automated classification job in the limited infrastructure of the IoT environment and is optimized using different metaheuristic optimization methods for better convergence.
Abstract: Internet of things (IoT) is one of the recent concepts that provide many services by exploiting the computational power of several devices. One of the emerging applications of the IoT-based technologies can be observed in the field of automated health care and diagnostics. With the help of IoT-based infrastructures, continuous data collection and monitoring are simpler. In most of the scenarios, collected data are massive, unstructured, and contain many redundant parts. It is always a challenging task to find an intelligent way to mine some useful information from a massive dataset with stipulated computing resources. Different types of sensors can be used to acquire data in real time. Some sensors can be body-worn sensors, and some sensors can be placed some distance apart from the body. In dermatological disease detection and classification problem, images of the infected region play a vital role. In this work, an optimized classification method is proposed that can be useful in performing automated classification job in the limited infrastructure of the IoT environment. The input features are optimized in such a way so that it can be useful in faster and accurate classification by the classifier that makes the system intelligent and optimized. Moreover, the hybrid classifier is optimized using different metaheuristic optimization methods for better convergence. The proposed work can be highly beneficial in exploring and applying the power of IoT in the healthcare industry. It is a small step toward the next-generation healthcare systems which can produce faster and accurate results at affordable cost with the help of IoT and remote healthcare monitoring.

TL;DR: A dataset of 7909 breast cancer histopathology images acquired on 82 patients, which is now publicly available from http://web.ufpr.br/vri/breast-cancer-database, aimed at automated classification of these images in two classes, which would be a valuable computer-aided diagnosis tool for the clinician.
Abstract: Today, medical image analysis papers require solid experiments to prove the usefulness of proposed methods. However, experiments are often performed on data selected by the researchers, which may come from different institutions, scanners, and populations. Different evaluation measures may be used, making it difficult to compare the methods. In this paper, we introduce a dataset of 7909 breast cancer histopathology images acquired on 82 patients, which is now publicly available from http://web.inf.ufpr.br/vri/breast-cancer-database . The dataset includes both benign and malignant images. The task associated with this dataset is the automated classification of these images in two classes, which would be a valuable computer-aided diagnosis tool for the clinician. In order to assess the difficulty of this task, we show some preliminary results obtained with state-of-the-art image classification systems. The accuracy ranges from 80% to 85%, showing room for improvement is left. By providing this dataset and a standardized evaluation protocol to the scientific community, we hope to gather researchers in both the medical and the machine learning field to advance toward this clinical application.

TL;DR: This paper evaluates various factors which govern the performance of Bag-of-features, and proposes a novel soft-weighting method to assess the significance of a visual word to an image and experimentally shows it can consistently offer better performance than other popular weighting methods.
Abstract: Bag-of-features (BoF) deriving from local keypoints has recently appeared promising for object and scene classification. Whether BoF can naturally survive the challenges such as reliability and scalability of visual classification, nevertheless, remains uncertain due to various implementation choices. In this paper, we evaluate various factors which govern the performance of BoF. The factors include the choices of detector, kernel, vocabulary size and weighting scheme. We offer some practical insights in how to optimize the performance by choosing good keypoint detector and kernel. For the weighting scheme, we propose a novel soft-weighting method to assess the significance of a visual word to an image. We experimentally show that the proposed soft-weighting scheme can consistently offer better performance than other popular weighting methods. On both PASCAL-2005 and TRECVID-2006 datasets, our BoF setting generates competitive performance compared to the state-of-the-art techniques. We also show that the BoF is highly complementary to global features. By incorporating the BoF with color and texture features, an improvement of 50% is reported on TRECVID-2006 dataset.

TL;DR: A novel real time integrated method to locate the segmented region of interest of an image based on the Region Growing segmentation method along with the thresholding supported image segmentation established that the proposed integrated method outperformed the region growing method in terms of the recall and F-score.
Abstract: Image segmentation is a challenging process in numerous applications. Region growing is one of the segmentation techniques as a basis for the Seeded Region Growing method. A novel real time integrated method was developed in the current work to locate the segmented region of interest of an image based on the Region Growing segmentation method along with the thresholding supported image segmentation. Through the proposed work, a homogeneity based on pixel intensity was suggested as well as the threshold value can be decided via a variety of schemes such as manual selection, Iterative method, Otsu’s method, local thresholding to obtain the best possible threshold. The experimental results were performed on different images obtained from an Alpert dataset. A comparative study was arried out with the human segmented image, threshold based region growing, and the proposed integrated method. The results established that the proposed integrated method outperformed the region growing method in terms of the recall and F-score. Although, it had comparable recall values with that gained by the human segmented images. It was noted that as the image under test had a dark background with the brighter object, thus the proposed method provided the superior recall value compared to the other methods.
