Early diagnosis of breast cancer can significantly improve lives of millions of women across the globe. In the last decade, researchers working in the domain of computer vision and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have beefed up their efforts to come up with the automated framework that not only detects but also identifies stage of breast cancer. The reason for this surge in research activities in this direction are mainly due to advent of robust AI algorithms (deep learning), availability of hardware that can train those robust and complex AI algorithms and accessibility of large enough dataset required for training AI algorithms. Different imaging modalities that have been exploited by researchers to automate the task of breast cancer detection are mammograms, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, histopathological images or any combination of them. This article analyzes these imaging modalities and presents their strengths, limitations and enlists resources from where their datasets can be accessed for research purpose. This article then summarizes AI and computer vision based state-of-the-art methods proposed in the last decade, to detect breast cancer using various imaging modalities. Generally, in this article we have focused on to review frameworks that have reported results using mammograms as it is most widely used breast imaging modality that serves as first test that medical practitioners usually prescribe for the detection of breast cancer. Second reason of focusing on mammogram imaging modalities is the availability of its labeled datasets. Datasets availability is one of the most important aspect for the development of AI based frameworks as such algorithms are data hungry and generally quality of dataset affects performance of AI based algorithms. In a nutshell, this research article will act as a primary resource for the research community working in the field of automated breast imaging analysis.

Currently, farmers are facing a weed control and management problem, and to tackle this challenge precision agriculture in the form of selective spraying is much-needed practice. In this article, we introduce a novel framework for a weed identification system that leverages (hybrid) the robust and relevant features of deep learning models, such as convolutional neural network (CNN) and handcrafted features. First, we apply the image preprocessing and augmentation techniques for image quality and dataset size enhancement. Then, we apply handcrafted feature extraction techniques, such as local binary pattern (LBP) and histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) to extract texture and shape features from the input. We also apply the deep learning model, such as CNN, to capture the relevant semantic features. Lastly, we concatenate the features extracted from a different domain and explore the performance using different classifiers. We achieved better performance and classification accuracy in the presence of the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) classifier. The achieved results witnessed the effectiveness and applicability of the given method and the importance of concatenated features.

However, the existence of speckle noise makes a good deal inconvenience for the subsequent image processing. The continuous development of sparse representation (SR) opens a new field for the speckle suppressing of SAR image. Although the SR de-noising may be effective, the over-smooth phenomenon still has bad influence on the integrity of the image information. In this paper, one novel SAR image de-noising method based on residual image fusion and sparse representation is proposed. Firstly we can get the similar block groups by the non-local similar block matching method (NLS-BM). Then SR de-noising based on the adaptive K-means singular value decomposition (K-SVD) is adopted to obtain the initial de-noised image and residual image. The residual image is processed by Shearlet transform (ST), and the corresponding de-noising methods are applied on it. Finally, in ST domain the low-frequency and high-frequency components of the initial de-noised and residual image are fused respectively by relevant fusion rules. The final de-noised image can be recovered by inverse ST. Experimental results show the proposed method can not only suppress the speckle effectively, but also save more details and other useful information of the original SAR image, which could provide more authentic and credible records for the follow-up image processing.

Methods The subjects were 310 Japanese female outpatients who underwent digital mammographic examinations between January 2018 and October 2018. A panel of three HR provided a Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) score, and Transpara system provided an interactive decision support score and an examination-based cancer likelihood score. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity were compared under each of reading conditions. Results The AUC was higher for human readers than with stand-alone Transpara system (human readers 0.816; Transpara system 0.706; difference 0.11; P < 0.001). The sensitivity of the unaided HR for diagnosis was 89% and specificity was 86%. The sensitivity of stand-alone Transpara system for cutoff scores of 4 and 7 were 93% and 85%, and specificities were 45% and 67%, respectively. Conclusions Although the diagnostic performance of Transpara system was statistically lower than that of HR, the recent advances in AI algorithms are expected to reduce the difference between computers and human experts in detecting breast cancer.

It is difficult to treat if detected at advanced stages, however, early detection can significantly increase chances of survival and improves lives of millions of women. Given the widespread prevalence of breast cancer, it is of utmost importance for the research community to come up with the framework for early detection, classification and diagnosis. Artificial intelligence research community in coordination with medical practitioners are developing such frameworks to automate the task of detection. With the surge in research activities coupled with availability of large datasets and enhanced computational powers, it expected that AI framework results will help even more clinicians in making correct predictions.

Side Channel Attacks (SCA) are one of the major concerns. The prime objective of SCA is to acquire the information by observing the power consumption, electromagnetic (EM) field, timing analysis, and acoustics of the device. Later, the attackers perform statistical functions to recover the key. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm has proved to be a good security solution for constrained IoT devices. This paper implements a simulation model which is used to modify the AES algorithm using logical masking properties. This invariant of the AES algorithm hides the array of bits during substitution byte transformation of AES. This model is used against SCA and particularly Power Analysis Attacks (PAAs). Simulation model is designed on MATLAB simulator. Results will give better solution by hiding power profiles of the IoT devices against PAAs. In future, the lightweight AES algorithm with false key mechanisms and power reduction techniques such as wave dynamic differential logic (WDDL) will be used to safeguard IoT devices against side channel attacks by using Arduino and field programmable gate array (FPGA).

Experimental evaluation results on widely used datasets i.e HMDB51 and UCF101 have revealed effectiveness and flexibility of proposed method over other baseline schemes.

Research paper thumbnail of SAL-Net: Self-Supervised Attribute Learning for Object Recognition and Segmentation

Due to the limitation of human experience, the predefined attributes are not capable enough of providing enough description. This paper proposes a self-supervised attribute learning (SAL) method, which automatically generates attribute descriptions by differentially occluding the object region to deal with the above problems. The relationship between attributes is formulated with triplet loss functions and is utilized to supervise the CNN. Attribute learning is used as an auxiliary task of a multitask image classification and segmentation network, in which self-supervision of attributes motivates the CNN to learn more discriminative features for the main semantic tasks. Experimental results on public benchmarks CUB-2011 and Pascal VOC show that the proposed SAL-Net can obtain more accurate classification and segmentation results without additional annotations. Moreover, the SAL-Net i...

We introduce the concept of motion map to represent the prefix of video sequences by optimizing the recognition accuracy of original video. 3-dimensional convolution (3Dconv) based model is used to generate the new motion map by integrating current motion map and future video frame. This model is capable of increasing the length of training video in iterative manner and allow us to generate the final motion map. Experimental evaluation results on widely used datasets i.e HMDB51 and UCF101 have revealed effectiveness and flexibility of proposed method over other baseline schemes.

Due to the limitation of human experience, the predefined attributes are not capable enough of providing enough description. This paper proposes a self-supervised attribute learning (SAL) method, which automatically generates attribute descriptions by differentially occluding the object region to deal with the above problems. The relationship between attributes is formulated with triplet loss functions and is utilized to supervise the CNN. Attribute learning is used as an auxiliary task of a multitask image classification and segmentation network, in which self-supervision of attributes motivates the CNN to learn more discriminative features for the main semantic tasks. Experimental results on public benchmarks CUB-2011 and Pascal VOC show that the proposed SAL-Net can obtain more accurate classification and segmentation results without additional annotations. Moreover, the SAL-Net i...
