Fish Image Classification by XgBoost Based on Gist and GLCM Features

By Prashengit Dhar Sunanda Guha

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijitcs.2021.04.02, Pub. Date: 8 Aug. 2021

Classification of fish image is a complex issue in the field of pattern recognition. Fish classification is a complicated task. Physical shape, size, orientation etc. made it complex to classify. Selection of appropriate feature is also a great issue in image classification. Classification of fish image is very important in fishing service and agricultural field, fish industry, survey applications of fisheries and in other related area. For the assessment and counting of fishes, classification of fish image is also necessary as it can save time. This paper presents a fish image classification method with the robust Gist feature and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) feature. Noise removal and resizing of image is applied as pre-processing task. Gist and GLCM feature are combined to make a better feature matrix. Features are also tested separately. But combined feature vector performs better than individual. Classification is made on ten types of raw images of fish from two datasets -QUT and F4K dataset. The feature set is trained with different machine learning models. Among them, XgBoost performs with 90.2% and 98.08% accuracy for QUT and F4K dataset respectively.

Skin Lesion Detection Using Fuzzy Approach and Classification with CNN

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijem.2021.01.02, Pub. Date: 8 Feb. 2021

Skin lesion detection at early stage is very effective for patients. As a result, patients can get time for treatment. Moreover, this early detection helps a patient in the long-time survival. However, skin lesion detection from a dermoscopic images is not a general task. Due to inter and intra-observer variations in human interpretations, research on skin lesion detection from dermoscopic images become important. In this paper, we proposed a method to segment and detect lesion of skin from images. The proposed method is based on a set of rules of fuzzy logic approach. Firstly, a set of rules is applied on dermoscopic images. The output is then thresholded. Closing operation as a morphological tool is used on the thresholded image. Then area filtering takes a place which results in the desired output. With respect to different learning models, CNN shows better performance in classifying ISIC and Dermis-dermquest dataset. The system delivers a significant performance, which is remarkable and comparable.

A System to Predict Emotion from Bengali Speech

By Prashengit Dhar Sunanda Guha

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmsc.2021.01.04, Pub. Date: 8 Feb. 2021

Predicting human emotion from speech is now important research topic. One’s mental state can be understood by emotion. The proposed research work is emotion recognition from human speech. Proposed system plays significant role in recognizing emotion while someone is talking. It has a great use for smart home environment. One can understand the emotion of other who is in home or may be in other place. University, service center or hospital can get a valuable decision support system with this emotion prediction system. Features like-MFCC (Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients) and LPC are extracted from audio sample signal. Audios are collected by recording speeches. A test also applied by combining self-collected dataset and popular Ravdees dataset. Self-collected dataset is named as ABEG. MFCC and LPC features are used in this study to train and test for predicting emotion. This study is made on angry, happy and neutral emotion classes. Different machine learning algorithms are applied here and result is compared with each other. Logistic regression performs well as compared to other ML algorithm.
