Medical Image Despeckling Using the Invertible Sparse Fuzzy Wavelet Transform with Nature-Inspired Minibatch Water Wave Swarm Optimization.

Speckle noise is a pervasive problem in medical imaging, and conventional methods for despeckling often lead to loss of edge information due to smoothing. To address this issue, we propose a novel approach that combines a nature-inspired minibatch water wave swarm optimization (NIMWVSO) framework with an invertible sparse fuzzy wavelet transform (ISFWT) in the frequency domain. The ISFWT learns a non-linear redundant transform with a perfect reconstruction property that effectively removes noise while preserving structural and edge information in medical images. The resulting threshold is then used by the NIMWVSO to further reduce multiplicative speckle noise. Our approach was evaluated using the MSTAR dataset, and objective functions were based on two contrasting reference metrics, namely the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and the mean structural similarity index metric (MSSIM). Our results show that the suggested approach outperforms modern filters and has significant generalization ability to unknown noise levels, while also being highly interpretable. By providing a new framework for despeckling medical images, our work has the potential to improve the accuracy and reliability of medical imaging diagnosis and treatment planning.

HIDM: Hybrid Intrusion Detection Model for Industry 4.0 Networks Using an Optimized CNN-LSTM with Transfer Learning.

Industrial automation systems are undergoing a revolutionary change with the use of Internet-connected operating equipment and the adoption of cutting-edge advanced technology such as AI, IoT, cloud computing, and deep learning within business organizations. These innovative and additional solutions are facilitating Industry 4.0. However, the emergence of these technological advances and the quality solutions that they enable will also introduce unique security challenges whose consequence needs to be identified. This research presents a hybrid intrusion detection model (HIDM) that uses OCNN-LSTM and transfer learning (TL) for Industry 4.0. The proposed model utilizes an optimized CNN by using enhanced parameters of the CNN via the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) method, which fine-tunes the CNN parameters and helps to improve the model's prediction accuracy. The transfer learning model helps to train the model, and it transfers the knowledge to the OCNN-LSTM model. The TL method enhances the training process, acquiring the necessary knowledge from the OCNN-LSTM model and utilizing it in each next cycle, which helps to improve detection accuracy. To measure the performance of the proposed model, we conducted a multi-class classification analysis on various online industrial IDS datasets, i.e., ToN-IoT and UNW-NB15. We have conducted two experiments for these two datasets, and various performance-measuring parameters, i.e., precision, F-measure, recall, accuracy, and detection rate, were calculated for the OCNN-LSTM model with and without TL and also for the CNN and LSTM models. For the ToN-IoT dataset, the OCNN-LSTM with TL model achieved a precision of 92.7%; for the UNW-NB15 dataset, the precision was 94.25%, which is higher than OCNN-LSTM without TL.

Hybrid model for precise hepatitis-C classification using improved random forest and SVM method.

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a viral infection that causes liver inflammation. Annually, approximately 3.4 million cases of HCV are reported worldwide. A diagnosis of HCV in earlier stages helps to save lives. In the HCV review, the authors used a single ML-based prediction model in the current research, which encounters several issues, i.e., poor accuracy, data imbalance, and overfitting. This research proposed a Hybrid Predictive Model (HPM) based on an improved random forest and support vector machine to overcome existing research limitations. The proposed model improves a random forest method by adding a bootstrapping approach. The existing RF method is enhanced by adding a bootstrapping process, which helps eliminate the tree's minor features iteratively to build a strong forest. It improves the performance of the HPM model. The proposed HPM model utilizes a 'Ranker method' to rank the dataset features and applies an IRF with SVM, selecting higher-ranked feature elements to build the prediction model. This research uses the online HCV dataset from UCI to measure the proposed model's performance. The dataset is highly imbalanced; to deal with this issue, we utilized the synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE). This research performs two experiments. The first experiment is based on data splitting methods, K-fold cross-validation, and training: testing-based splitting. The proposed method achieved an accuracy of 95.89% for k = 5 and 96.29% for k = 10; for the training and testing-based split, the proposed method achieved 91.24% for 80:20 and 92.39% for 70:30, which is the best compared to the existing SVM, MARS, RF, DT, and BGLM methods. In experiment 2, the analysis is performed using feature selection (with SMOTE and without SMOTE). The proposed method achieves an accuracy of 41.541% without SMOTE and 96.82% with SMOTE-based feature selection, which is better than existing ML methods. The experimental results prove the importance of feature selection to achieve higher accuracy in HCV research.

A convolutional neural network for face mask detection in IoT-based smart healthcare systems.

The new coronavirus that produced the pandemic known as COVID-19 has been going across the world for a while. Nearly every area of development has been impacted by COVID-19. There is an urgent need for improvement in the healthcare system. However, this contagious illness can be controlled by appropriately donning a facial mask. If people keep a strong social distance and wear face masks, COVID-19 can be controlled. A method for detecting these violations is proposed in this paper. These infractions include failing to wear a facemask and failing to maintain social distancing. To train a deep learning architecture, a dataset compiled from several sources is used. To compute the distance between two people in a particular area and also predicts the people wearing and not wearing the mask, The proposed system makes use of YOLOv3 architecture and computer vision. The goal of this research is to provide valuable tool for reducing the transmission of this contagious disease in various environments, including streets and supermarkets. The proposed system is evaluated using the COCO dataset. It is evident from the experimental analysis that the proposed system performs well in predicting the people wearing the mask because it has acquired an accuracy of 99.2% and an F1-score of 0.99.

Face Image Encryption Based on Feature with Optimization Using Secure Crypto General Adversarial Neural Network and Optical Chaotic Map.

Demand for data security is increasing as information technology advances. Encryption technology based on biometrics has advanced significantly to meet more convenient and secure needs. Because of the stability of face traits and the difficulty of counterfeiting, the iris method has become an essential research object in data security research. This study proposes a revolutionary face feature encryption technique that combines picture optimization with cryptography and deep learning (DL) architectures. To improve the security of the key, an optical chaotic map is employed to manage the initial standards of the 5D conservative chaotic method. A safe Crypto General Adversarial neural network and chaotic optical map are provided to finish the course of encrypting and decrypting facial images. The target field is used as a "hidden factor" in the machine learning (ML) method in the encryption method. An encrypted image is recovered to a unique image using a modernization network to achieve picture decryption. A region-of-interest (ROI) network is provided to extract involved items from encrypted images to make data mining easier in a privacy-protected setting. This study's findings reveal that the recommended implementation provides significantly improved security without sacrificing image quality. Experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms the existing models in terms of PSNR of 92%, RMSE of 85%, SSIM of 68%, MAP of 52%, and encryption speed of 88%.
