Item A metaheuristic framework based automated Spatial-Spectral graph for land cover classification from multispectral and hyperspectral satellite images(Elsevier B.V., 2020) Suresh, S.; Lal, S.Land cover classification of satellite images has been a very predominant area since the last few years. An increase in the amount of information acquired by satellite imaging systems, urges the need for automatic tools for classification. Satellite images exhibit spatial and/or temporal dependencies in which the conventional machine learning algorithms fail to perform well. In this paper, we propose an improved framework for automated land cover classification using Spatial Spectral Schroedinger Eigenmaps (SSSE) optimized by Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is adopted for the final thematic map generation following dimensionality reduction and clustering by the proposed approach. The novelty of the proposed framework is that the applicability of optimized SSSE for land cover classification of medium and high resolution multi-spectral satellite images is tested for the first time. The proposed method makes land cover classification system fully automatic by optimizing the algorithm specific image dependent parameter ? using CS algorithm. Experiments are carried out over publicly available high and medium resolution multi-spectral satellite image datasets (Landsat 5 TM and IKONOS 2 MS) and hyper-spectral satellite image datasets (Pavia University and Indian Pines) to assess the robustness of the proposed approach. Performance comparisons of the proposed method against state-of-the-art multi-spectral and hyper-spectral land cover classification methods reveal the efficiency of the proposed method. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.Item Evolution of LiverNet 2.x: Architectures for automated liver cancer grade classification from H&E stained liver histopathological images(Springer, 2024) Chanchal, A.K.; Lal, S.; Barnwal, D.; Sinha, P.; Arvavasu, S.; Kini, J.Recently, the automation of disease identification has been quite popular in the field of medical diagnosis. The rise of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for training and generalizing medical image data has proven to be quite efficient in detecting and identifying the types and sub-types of various diseases. Since the classification of large datasets of Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) stained histopathology images by experts can be expensive and time-consuming, automated processes using deep learning have been encouraged for the past decade. This paper introduces LiverNet 2.x model by modifying the previously encountered LiverNet architecture. The proposed model uses two different improvements of the Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) block to extract the clinically defined features of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from liver histopathology images. LiverNet 2.0 uses a modified form of ASPP block known as DenseASPP, where all the atrous convolution outputs are densely connected. Whereas LiverNet 2.1 uses fewer concatenations while maintaining a large receptive field by stacking the dilated convolutional blocks in a tree-like fashion. This paper also discusses the trade-off between LiverNet 2.0 and LiverNet 2.1 in terms of accuracy and computational complexity. All comparison model and the proposed model is trained and tested on the patches of two different histopathological datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed model performs better compared to reference models. For the KMC Liver dataset, LiverNet 2.0 and LiverNet 2.1 achieved an accuracy of 97.50% and 97.14% respectively. Accuracy of 94.37% and 97.14% for the TCGA Liver dataset are achieved. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Item RMDNet-Deep Learning Paradigms for Effective Malware Detection and Classification(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) S, S.; Lal, S.; Pratap Singh, M.; Raghavendra, B.S.Malware analysis and detection are still essential for maintaining the security of networks and computer systems, even as the threat landscape shifts. Traditional approaches are insufficient to keep pace with the rapidly evolving nature of malware. Artificial Intelligence (AI) assumes a significant role in propelling its design to unprecedented levels. Various Machine Learning (ML) based malware detection systems have been developed to combat the ever-changing characteristics of malware. Consequently, there is a growing interest in exploring advanced techniques that leverage the power of Deep Learning (DL) to effectively analyze and detect malicious software. DL models demonstrate enhanced capabilities for analyzing extensive sequences of system calls. This paper proposes a Robust Malware Detection Network (RMDNet) for effective malware detection and classification. The proposed RMDNet model branches the input and performs depth-wise convolution and concatenation operations. The experimental results of the proposed RMDNet and existing DL models are evaluated on 48240 malware and binary visualization image dataset with RGB format. Also on the multi-class malimg and dumpware-10 datasets with grayscale format. The experimental results on each of these datasets demonstrate that the proposed RMDNet model can effectively and accurately categorize malware, outperforming the most recent benchmark DL algorithms. © 2013 IEEE.Item Development of Robust CNN Architecture for Grading and Classification of Renal Cell Carcinoma Histology Images(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Chanchal, C.A.; Lal, S.; Suresh, S.Kidney cancer is a commonly diagnosed cancer disease in recent years, and Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is the most common kidney cancer responsible for 80% to 85% of all renal tumors. The diagnosis of kidney cancer requires manual examination and analysis of histopathological images of the affected tissue. This process is time-consuming, prone to human error, and highly depends on the expertise of a pathologist. Early detection and grading of kidney cancer tissues enable doctors and practitioners to decide the further course of treatment. Therefore, quick and precise analysis of kidney cancer tissue images is extremely important for proper diagnosis. Recently, deep learning algorithms have proved to be very efficient and accurate in histopathology image analysis. In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient deep-learning architecture based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to automate the grading and classification task for kidney cancer tissue. The proposed Robust CNN (RoCNN) architecture is capable of learning features at varying convolutional filter sizes because of the inception modules employed in it. Squeeze and Extract (SE) blocks are used to remove unnecessary contributions from noisy channels and improve model accuracy. Concatenating samples from three different parts of architecture allows for the encompassing of varied features, further improving grading and classification accuracy. To demonstrate that the proposed model is generalized and independent of the dataset, it has experimented on two well-known datasets, the KMC kidney dataset of five different grades and the TCGA dataset of four classes. Compared to the best-performing state-of-the-art model the accuracy of RoCNN shows a significant improvement of about 4.22% and 3.01% for both datasets respectively. © 2013 IEEE.Item Transformer assisted framework for automated multi-class abnormality classification for video capsule endoscopy(Institute of Physics, 2025) Prabhu, M.M.; Kaliki, V.S.; Lal, S.Video Capsule Endoscopy (VCE) is a minimally invasive imaging technique used for diagnosing gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, enabling detailed visualization of the digestive tract. This study introduces CASCRNet, a novel and parameter-efficient deep learning architecture designed to enhance interpretability and computational efficiency in multi-class abnormality classification for VCE. CASCRNet integrates focal loss, Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling, and Shared Channel Residual blocks to improve feature extraction and address class imbalance. In addition to CASCRNet, this study conducts a comprehensive evaluation of several deep learning models, including ResNet50, DenseNet121, RCCGNet, Hiera, and AIMv2. Among these, AIMv2, a fine-tuned transformer-based model, achieved the highest overall performance, serving as a new benchmark for accuracy. The proposed framework demonstrates robust results on the Capsule Vision 2024 dataset and highlights the potential of both lightweight and transformer-based solutions to improve diagnostic efficiency and clinical workflow in gastrointestinal imaging. © 2025 IOP Publishing Ltd.
