    Deep Learning for COVID-19
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Bs, B.S.; Manoj Kumar, M.V.; Thomas, L.; Ajay Kumar, M.A.; Wu, D.; Annappa, B.; Hebbar, A.; Vishnu Srinivasa Murthy, Y.V.S.
    Ever since the outbreak in Wuhan, China, a variant of Coronavirus named “COVID 19” has taken human lives in millions all around the world. The detection of the infection is quite tedious since it takes 3–14 days for the symptoms to surface in patients. Early detection of the infection and prohibiting it would limit the spread to only to Local Transmission. Deep learning techniques can be used to gain insights on the early detection of infection on the medical image data such as Computed Tomography (CT images), Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI images), and X-Ray images collected from the infected patients provided by the Medical institution or from the publicly available databases. The same techniques can be applied to do the analysis of infection rates and do predictions for the coming days. A wide range of open-source pre-trained models that are trained for general classification or segmentation is available for the proposed study. Using these models with the concept of transfer learning, obtained resultant models when applied to the medical image datasets would draw much more insights into the COVID-19 detection and prediction process. Innumerable works have been done by researchers all over the world on the publicly available COVID-19 datasets and were successful in deriving good results. Visualizing the results and presenting the summarized data of prediction in a cleaner, unambiguous way to the doctors would also facilitate the early detection and prevention of COVID-19 Infection. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    An Efficient Deep Transfer Learning Approach for Classification of Skin Cancer Images
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Naik, P.P.; Annappa, B.; Dodia, S.
    Prolonged exposure to the sun for an extended period can likely cause skin cancer, which is an abnormal proliferation of skin cells. The early detection of this illness necessitates the classification of der-matoscopic images, making it an enticing study problem. Deep learning is playing a crucial role in efficient dermoscopic analysis. Modified version of MobileNetV2 is proposed for the classification of skin cancer images in seven classes. The proposed deep learning model employs transfer learning and various data augmentation techniques to more accurately classify skin lesions compared to existing models. To improve the per¬formance of the classifier, data augmentation techniques are performed on “HAM10000" (Human Against Machine) dataset to classify seven dif¬ferent kinds of skin cancer. The proposed model obtained a training accuracy of 96.56% and testing accuracy of 93.11%. Also, it has a lower number of parameters in comparison to existing methods. The aim of the study is to aid dermatologists in the clinic to make more accurate diagnoses of skin lesions and in the early detection of skin cancer. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.

    A Dual Phase Approach for Addressing Class Imbalance in Land-Use and Land-Cover Mapping From Remotely Sensed Images
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Putty, A.; Annappa, B.; Prajwal, R.; Pariserum Perumal, S.P.
    Semantic segmentation of remotely sensed images for land-use and land-cover classes plays a significant role in various ecosystem management applications. State-of-the-art results in assigning land-use and land-cover classes are primarily achieved using fully convolutional encoder-decoder architectures. However, the uneven distribution of the land-use and land-cover classes becomes a major hurdle leading to performance skewness towards majority classes over minority classes. This paper proposes a novel dual-phase training, with the first phase proposing a new undersampling technique using minority class focused class normalization and the second phase that uses this learnt knowledge for ensembling to prevent overfitting and compensate for the loss of information due to undersampling. The proposed method achieved an overall performance gain of up to 2% in MIoU, Kappa, and F1 Score metrics and up to 3% in class-wise F1-score when compared to the baseline models on Wuhan Dense Labeling, Vaihingen and Potsdam datasets. © 2013 IEEE.
