Item Distributed Cloud Deep Learning Architecture for Complex Image Analysis and Run-time Prediction Tool(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Kumar, S.; Thomas, E.; Horo, A.; Annappa, B.Hyperspectral imaging is a rare research tool and has been transformed into a commodity product found in a wide field. Currently, standard data processing methods that specialize in special hyperspectral accumulation structures are required. Also, with the advent of data collection and development in the field of sensory devices, it has rendered previous processing tools in vain. To manage this huge increase in the amount of data, a consistent cloud distribution method is required. Hyperspectral images (HSIs) have several spectral band channels that make the study very difficult. In this paper, an in-depth reading method of the novel with a modified autoencoder is proposed as a cloud-based use of HSI analysis, which provides a measure of lesser error rates and high accuracy of classification models. In line with this, a list of four tools has been proposed to calculate the actual number of workers, cores, and iterations required to achieve the desired accuracy for a specified amount of run-time. This will help cloud managers get a basic idea of computational needs and help them allocate resources more efficiently. The entire architecture was simulated on Spark servers and was verified experimentally by checking that the proposed architecture performs the function of efficient management and analysis of large HSI. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Item Identifying Parking Lots from Satellite Images using Transfer Learning(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Kumar, S.; Thomas, E.; Horo, A.With the advent of digital image processing techniques and convolutional neural networks, the world has derived numerous benefits such as computerized photography, biological Image Processing, finger print and iris recognition, to name a few. Computer vision coupled with convolutional neural networks has attributed machines with a virtual intellectual ability to recognize and distinguish images based on several characteristics that may be impossible for the human eye to perceive. We have exploited this advancement in technology to particular use case of detecting number of empty and occupied parking slots from satellite images of parking lots. We have proposed a befitting sequence of classical image processing techniques and algorithms to perform pre-processing of satellite images of parking spaces. Moreover, we have proposed a Convolutional Neural Network model that takes as input these preprocessed images and identifies the empty and occupied parking slots with an accuracy of 97.73%. The potential benefits of using Neural Networks to realize the objective can be extended to open parking spaces of different configurations. This is due to the fact that establishing sensors over a large number of parking slots over a given open parking space can be a cumbersome and exorbitant task. The proposed model comprises of few convolutional layers and uses Rectified Linear Classification activation function. © 2019 IEEE.Item Multi-Res-Attention UNet: A CNN Model for the Segmentation of Focal Cortical Dysplasia Lesions from Magnetic Resonance Images(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Thomas, E.; Pawan, S.J.; Kumar, S.; Horo, A.; Niyas, S.; Vinayagamani, S.; Kesavadas, C.; Rajan, J.In this work, we have focused on the segmentation of Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) regions from MRI images. FCD is a congenital malformation of brain development that is considered as the most common causative of intractable epilepsy in adults and children. To our knowledge, the latest work concerning the automatic segmentation of FCD was proposed using a fully convolutional neural network (FCN) model based on UNet. While there is no doubt that the model outperformed conventional image processing techniques by a considerable margin, it suffers from several pitfalls. First, it does not account for the large semantic gap of feature maps passed from the encoder to the decoder layer through the long skip connections. Second, it fails to leverage the salient features that represent complex FCD lesions and suppress most of the irrelevant features in the input sample. We propose Multi-Res-Attention UNet; a novel hybrid skip connection-based FCN architecture that addresses these drawbacks. Moreover, we have trained it from scratch for the detection of FCD from 3 T MRI 3D FLAIR images and conducted 5-fold cross-validation to evaluate the model. FCD detection rate (Recall) of 92% was achieved for patient wise analysis. © 2013 IEEE.
