DenseHillNet: a lightweight CNN for accurate classification of natural images.

The detection of natural images, such as glaciers and mountains, holds practical applications in transportation automation and outdoor activities. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely employed for image recognition and classification tasks. While previous studies have focused on fruits, land sliding, and medical images, there is a need for further research on the detection of natural images, particularly glaciers and mountains. To address the limitations of traditional CNNs, such as vanishing gradients and the need for many layers, the proposed work introduces a novel model called DenseHillNet. The model utilizes a DenseHillNet architecture, a type of CNN with densely connected layers, to accurately classify images as glaciers or mountains. The model contributes to the development of automation technologies in transportation and outdoor activities. The dataset used in this study comprises 3,096 images of each of the "glacier" and "mountain" categories. Rigorous methodology was employed for dataset preparation and model training, ensuring the validity of the results. A comparison with a previous work revealed that the proposed DenseHillNet model, trained on both glacier and mountain images, achieved higher accuracy (86%) compared to a CNN model that only utilized glacier images (72%).

Applications, challenges, and solutions of unmanned aerial vehicles in smart city using blockchain.

Real-time data gathering, analysis, and reaction are made possible by this information and communication technology system. Data storage is also made possible by it. This is a good move since it enhances the administration and operation services essential to any city's efficient operation. The idea behind "smart cities" is that information and communication technology (ICTs) need to be included in a city's routine activities in order to gather, analyze, and store enormous amounts of data in real-time. This is helpful since it makes managing and governing urban areas easier.

YOLO and residual network for colorectal cancer cell detection and counting.

The HT-29 cell line, derived from human colon cancer, is valuable for biological and cancer research applications. Early detection is crucial for improving the chances of survival, and researchers are introducing new techniques for accurate cancer diagnosis. This study introduces an efficient deep learning-based method for detecting and counting colorectal cancer cells (HT-29). The colorectal cancer cell line was procured from a company. Further, the cancer cells were cultured, and a transwell experiment was conducted in the lab to collect the dataset of colorectal cancer cell images via fluorescence microscopy. Of the 566 images, 80 % were allocated to the training set, and the remaining 20 % were assigned to the testing set. The HT-29 cell detection and counting in medical images is performed by integrating YOLOv2, ResNet-50, and ResNet-18 architectures. The accuracy achieved by ResNet-18 is 98.70 % and ResNet-50 is 96.66 %. The study achieves its primary objective by focusing on detecting and quantifying congested and overlapping colorectal cancer cells within the images. This innovative work constitutes a significant development in overlapping cancer cell detection and counting, paving the way for novel advancements and opening new avenues for research and clinical applications. Researchers can extend the study by exploring variations in ResNet and YOLO architectures to optimize object detection performance. Further investigation into real-time deployment strategies will enhance the practical applicability of these models.

The Role of Machine Learning and Deep Learning Approaches for the Detection of Skin Cancer.

Machine learning (ML) can enhance a dermatologist's work, from diagnosis to customized care. The development of ML algorithms in dermatology has been supported lately regarding links to digital data processing (e.g., electronic medical records, Image Archives, omics), quicker computing and cheaper data storage. This article describes the fundamentals of ML-based implementations, as well as future limits and concerns for the production of skin cancer detection and classification systems. We also explored five fields of dermatology using deep learning applications: (1) the classification of diseases by clinical photos, (2) der moto pathology visual classification of cancer, and (3) the measurement of skin diseases by smartphone applications and personal tracking systems. This analysis aims to provide dermatologists with a guide that helps demystify the basics of ML and its different applications to identify their possible challenges correctly. This paper surveyed studies on skin cancer detection using deep learning to assess the features and advantages of other techniques. Moreover, this paper also defined the basic requirements for creating a skin cancer detection application, which revolves around two main issues: the full segmentation image and the tracking of the lesion on the skin using deep learning. Most of the techniques found in this survey address these two problems. Some of the methods also categorize the type of cancer too.

Integration of federated learning with IoT for smart cities applications, challenges, and solutions.

In the past few years, privacy concerns have grown, making the financial models of businesses more vulnerable to attack. In many cases, it is hard to emphasize the importance of monitoring things in real-time with data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The people who make the IoT devices and those who use them face big problems when they try to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in real-world applications, where data must be collected and processed at a central location. Federated learning (FL) has made a decentralized, cooperative AI system that can be used by many IoT apps that use AI. It is possible because it can train AI on IoT devices that are spread out and do not need to share data. FL allows local models to be trained on local data and share their knowledge to improve a global model. Also, shared learning allows models from all over the world to be trained using data from all over the world. This article looks at the IoT in all of its forms, including "smart" businesses, "smart" cities, "smart" transportation, and "smart" healthcare. This study looks at the safety problems that the federated learning with IoT (FL-IoT) area has brought to market. This research is needed to explore because federated learning is a new technique, and a small amount of work is done on challenges faced during integration with IoT. This research also helps in the real world in such applications where encrypted data must be sent from one place to another. Researchers and graduate students are the audience of our article.

A deep learning approach for the detection and counting of colon cancer cells (HT-29 cells) bunches and impurities.

HT-29 has an epithelial appearance as a human colorectal cancer cell line. Early detection of colorectal cancer can enhance survival rates. This study aims to detect and count HT-29 cells using a deep-learning approach (ResNet-50). The cell lines were procured from Procell Life Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, China). Further, the dataset is self-prepared in lab experiments, cell culture, and collected 566 images. These images contain two classes; the HT-29 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (blue shapes in bunches) and impurities (tinny circular grey shapes). These images are annotated with the help of an image labeller as impurity and cancer cells. Then afterwards, the images are trained, validated, and tested against the deep learning approach ResNet50. Finally, in each image, the number of impurity and cancer cells are counted to find the accuracy of the proposed model. Accuracy and computational expense are used to gauge the network's performance. Each model is tested ten times with a non-overlapping train and random test splits. The effect of data pre-processing is also examined and shown in several tasks. The results show an accuracy of 95.5% during training and 95.3% in validation for detecting and counting HT-29 cells. HT-29 cell detection and counting using deep learning is novel due to the scarcity of research in this area, the application of deep learning, and potential performance improvements over traditional methods. By addressing a gap in the literature, employing a unique dataset, and using custom model architecture, this approach contributes to advancing colon cancer understanding and diagnosis techniques.
