10.11591/ijece.v15i2.pp2314-2324
Poonam Pawar , Bharati Ainapure
Digital image quality often degrades due to various factors such as noise and blur. Many images are affected by these issues, reducing their clarity and accuracy. This degradation is especially problematic for ancient images, significantly hampers the ability to analyze historical documents and artworks. This paper presents a novel approach to both blur detection and deblur ancient images, enhancing their clarity and readability. This research introduces a technique that combines wavelet transform and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for effective blur identification and deblurring, specifically aimed at restoring blurred ancient images, regardless of the type of blur degradation. This novel approach demonstrated an average accuracy of 98.3% in blur detection on ancient image datasets. The performance of deblurring algorithms is typically evaluated using metrics such as peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), mean squared error (MSE), and structural similarity index (SSIM) which quantify fidelity and quality of the deblurred images. In the deblurring, this approach produced PSNR values of 55.5 to 68.3 dB, MSE values of 2.99 to 11.1, and an SSIM of 0.9 across different types of blurs. These results show significant promise for the restoration of ancient images, providing researchers, historians, and archaeologists with valuable tool for conservation cultural heritage.

Uplink scheduling has become increasingly important due to increased activities like uploading videos, photos, and file sharing. Many users share or stream live videos and engage with social networks, significantly increasing uplink data traffic volume. Single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) is favored for its power efficiency and high data rates, benefiting user equipment (UE) battery life. However, maintaining the contiguity of resource blocks (RBs) poses challenges in uplink scheduling. The maximum expansion with contiguity constraints (MECC) algorithm has been introduced to address this challenge. MECC prioritizes contiguity, fairness, and throughput for users at the cell edge. The algorithm operates in two phases: initially allocating RBs proportionally and assigning RBs with the highest metrics while ensuring contiguity. Performance evaluation of MECC, conducted under conditions simulating vehicular movement at 30 km/h, demonstrates its superiority over other algorithms. MECC provides high fairness and throughput for both real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT) traffic, making it the preferred scheduler for ensuring quality of service (QoS) for both traffic types. Its focus on contiguity, fairness, throughput, and spectral efficiency establishes MECC as a valuable tool for optimizing uplink transmission in mobile networks, addressing the evolving needs of users in today's digital landscape.

A novel you only look once (YOLO)-based gated attention deep convolution network (GADCN) classification algorithm is developed and utilized in this present study for the detection of breast cancer. In this framework, contrast enhancement-based histogram equalization is applied initially to produce the normalized breast image with reduced noise artifacts. Then, the breast region is accurately segmented from the preprocessed images with low complexity and segmentation error using the YOLO-based attention network model. To diagnose breast cancer with better accuracy, the GADCN model is used to predict the exact class of image (i.e., benign or malignant). During classification, the activation function is optimally computed with the use of the Lichtenberg optimization algorithm (LOA). It aids in achieving improved classification performance with little complexity in training and assessment. The significance of the present study includes the use of a unique, YOLO-based GADCN-LOA model that helps in the prediction of breast cancer with higher accuracy. It was observed that the model exhibited 99% accuracy for the datasets utilized. In addition, the selected model outperforms well with sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-score. Hence the proposed model could be exploited for the diagnosis of breast cancer at an early stage to enable preventive care.

Sangita Ajit Patil , Ajay Namdeorao Paithane
Stress impacts both mental and physical health, potentially leading to serious conditions like cardiovascular diseases and mental disorders. Early detection of stress is crucial for reducing these risks. This study aims to improve stress detection by analyzing physiological signals, specifically electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG). EEG is affordable, while ECG provides detailed insights into cardiovascular health. Feature selection is a major challenge in analyzing these signals. To address this, the research introduces a novel method that combines the Archimedes optimization algorithm (AoA) with the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) to enhance accuracy in both single and multimodal systems. The proposed multimodal system employs a parallel-structured convolutional neural network (CNN) with a deep architecture to extract spatial features and uses a long short-term memory (LSTM) network to capture temporal dynamics. Experimental results show significant improvements: ECG stress detection accuracy rises from 88.6% to 91.79%, EEG accuracy increases from 95% to 96.6%, and multimodal stress detection accuracy reaches 98.6%. These results highlight the effectiveness of the AoA-AHP-based feature selection technique in boosting stress detection accuracy, contributing to improved mental health management and overall well-being.

One of the areas of ensuring the security of a wireless sensor network (WSN) is anomaly detection, which identifies deviations from normal behavior. In our paper, we investigate the optimal anomaly detection algorithms in a WSN. We highlight the problems in anomaly detection, and we also propose a new methodology using machine learning. The effectiveness of the k-nearest neighbor (kNN) and Z Score methods is evaluated on the data obtained from WSN devices in real time. According to the experimental study, the Z Score methodology showed a 98.9% level of accuracy, which was much superior to the kNN 43.7% method. In order to ensure accurate anomaly detection, it is crucial to have access to high-quality data when conducting a study. Our research enhances the field of WSN security by offering a novel approach for detecting anomalies. We compare the performance of two methods and provide evidence of the superior effectiveness of the Z Score method. Our future research will focus on exploring and comparing several approaches to identify the most effective anomaly detection method, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the security of WSN.

The science of information security has increased in importance to encounter the espionage and information theft. This research proposes a new steganography framework that utilizes simulated annealing (SA) as an artificial intelligence algorithm to support the process of hiding a binary secret message file within an audio wave file. The best path for embedding the secret data inside the audio file is determined through SA that searches for the preferred path according to the content of the host audio file and secret message to be hidden. The least significant bit (LSB) technique was employed to hide message bytes, in which each audio-chosen byte will hold one bit from a secret message byte. The hiding process constructs the stego audio file and extraction key that will be required in an extraction process. The authorized user requires an extraction key and a decryption key to retrieve the hidden message. On the other hand, the attacker requires knowledge of the aforementioned keys and working algorithms that were employed in the hidden process. Robustness against data extraction, detection, imperceptibility (phonological hearing), security, peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE) and capacity as security performance measures were used to evaluate the system. The maximum size of the data to be hidden may reach 12.5% of the data size of the host audio file, in which the average value of MSE and PSNR are (0.0041, 74.73), respectively.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to identify brain disorders, particularly strokes. Rapid treatment, often referred to as "time is brain," is emphasized in recent studies, stressing the significance of early intervention within six hours of stroke onset to save lives and enhance outcomes. The traditional manual diagnosis of brain strokes by neuroradiologists is both subjective and time-intensive. To tackle this challenge, this study introduces an automated method for classify brain stroke from MRI images based on pre- and post-stroke patients. The technique employs machine learning, with a focus on susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) sequences, and involves four stages: preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, classification and performance evaluation. The paper proposes classification and performance evaluation to determine stroke region according to three types of categories, those are poor improvement, moderate improvement and good improvement stroke patients based on pre and post patients. Then, performance evaluation is verified using accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. Results indicate that the hybrid support vector machine and bagged tree (SVMBT) yields the best performance for stroke lesion classification, achieving the highest accuracy which is 99% and showing significant improvement for stroke patients. In conclusion, the proposed stroke classification technique demonstrates promising potential for brain stroke diagnosis, offering an efficient and automated tool to assist medical professionals in timely and accurate assessments.

An model for structured the NoSQL databases based on machine learning classifiers

10.11591/ijict.v14i1.pp229-239
Amine Benmakhlouf
Today, the majority of data generated and processed in organizations is unstructured. NoSQL database management systems perform the management of this data. The problem is that these unstructured databases cannot be analyzed by traditional OLAP analytical treatments. The latter are mainly used in structured relational databases. In order to apply OLAP analyses on NoSQL data, the structuring of this data is essential. In this paper, we propose a model for structuring the data of a document-oriented NoSQL database using machine learning (ML). This method is broken down into three steps, first the vectorization of documents, then the learning via different ML algorithms and finally the classification, which guarantees that documents with the same structure will belong to the same collection. Therefore, the modeling of a data warehouse can be carried out in order to create OLAP cubes. Since the models found by learning allow the parallel computation of the classifier, our approach represents an advantage in terms of speed since we will avoid doubly iterative algorithms, which rely on textual comparisons (TC). A comparative study of the performances is carried out in this work in order to detect the most efficient methods to perform this type of classification.

Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is all about exploring the data in order to identify any underlying pattern before you try to use it to make a predictive model. It also plays a major role in the data discovery process as it is used to analyze data and to recapitulate their different characteristics, which is displayed efficiently with the help of data visualization methods. This paper aims to identify errors in the dataset, to understand the existing hidden structure and to identify new ones, to detect points in a dataset that deviate to a greater extent from the collected data (outliers), and also to find any relationship or intersection between the variables and constants. Two datasets are used namely ‘Titanic’ and ‘student’s performance’ to perform data analysis and ‘data visualization’ to depict ‘exploratory data analysis’ which acts as an important set of tools for recognizing a qualitative understanding. The datasets were explored and hence it assisted with identifying patterns, outliers, corrupt data, and discovering the relationship between the fields in the dataset.

A convex hull based geofencing system to eradicate COVID

10.11591/ijece.v15i2.pp1817-1825
Parul Arora , Suman Deswal
The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified coronavirus disease (COVID-19), as a global pandemic due to its quick global spread to more than 183 countries. Many countries have used movement control orders (MCO) and high alert levels to halt the spread. The primary goal of this research is to provide a geofencing architecture that is specially tailored to the MCO's standard requirement for monitoring an individual's whereabouts during a lockdown. Whenever an individual tests Corona positive, Geofencing uses technology to notify an anticipated network of people who may be affected and to enable traceability for potential patients. Computational techniques such as Delaunay triangulation (inpolygon) and triangle weight characterization (inside polygon) are applied to analyze the geographical boundary in which the patient is isolated. Convex hull, on the other hand, is a better technique than computational algorithms. It is considered the best mathematical technique because it takes the least amount of time (0.014985 sec) to detect the patient within the geofence layer and has the lowest standard deviation when compared with the other computational techniques.

Accurate weather forecasting is important when dealing with various sectors, such as retail, agriculture, and aviation, especially during extreme weather events like heat waves, droughts, and storms to prevent disaster impact. Traditional methods rely on complex, physics-based models to predict the Earth's stochastic systems. However, some technological advancements and the availability of extensive satellite data from beyond Earth have enhanced meteorological predictions and sent them to Earth's antennae. Deep learning models using this historical data show promise in improving forecast accuracy to enhance how models learn the data pattern. This study introduces a novel architecture, convolutional sequence to sequence (ConvSeq2Seq) network, which employs 3D convolutional neural networks (CNN) to address the challenges of spatiotemporal forecasting. Unlike recurrent neural network (RNN)--based models, which are time-consuming due to sequential processing, 3D CNNs capture spatial context more efficiently. ConvSeq2Seq overcomes the limitations of traditional CNN models by ensuring causal constraints and generating flexible length output sequences. Our experimental results demonstrate that ConvSeq2Seq outperforms traditional and modern RNN-based architectures in both prediction accuracy and time efficiency, leveraging historical meteorological data to provide a robust solution for weather forecasting applications. The proposed architecture outperforms the previous method, giving new insight when dealing with spatiotemporal with high density.

An automatic system for determining mandibular landmark points on panoramic radiography can reduce errors due to differences in expert professionalism and save time. Previous research has shown that the linear regression method is ineffective at predicting condyle and gonion landmark points in panoramic radiography. So, this research proposes an analysis of nonlinear regression methods (support vector machine (SVM) kernel=‘polynomial’, polynomial regression, ensemble regression) for predicting condyle and gonion landmark points. There are four predicted landmark points, namely the right condyle, left condyle, right gonion, and left gonion. The nonlinear regression methods used are SVM, polynomial regression, and ensemble regression. The Dental and Oral Hospital, within the Faculty of Dentistry at Universitas Airlangga, provides the research data. The research encompasses 119 patients between the ages of 19 and 70, dividing 103 into training and 16 into testing. The research results show that the SVM method is only good at predicting the right condyle point with a mean radial error (MRE) of 4,724 pixels. Meanwhile, to predict the left condyle, right gonion, and left gonion points, it is better to use the polynomial regression method and ensemble regression with an order of success detection rate (SDR) of 37.5%, 18.75%, and 12.5%, respectively.
