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 DPPNet: An Efficient and Robust Deep Learning Network for Land Cover Segmentation From High-Resolution Satellite Images(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Sravya, N.; Priyanka; Lal, S.; Nalini, J.; Chintala, C.S.; Dell’Acqua, F.Visual understanding of land cover is an important task in information extraction from high-resolution satellite images, an operation which is often involved in remote sensing applications. Multi-class semantic segmentation of high-resolution satellite images turned out to be an important research topic because of its wide range of real-life applications. Although scientific literature reports several deep learning methods that can provide good results in segmenting remotely sensed images, these are generally computationally expensive. There still exists an open challenge towards developing a robust deep learning model capable of improving performances while requiring less computational complexity. In this article, we propose a new model termed DPPNet (Depth-wise Pyramid Pooling Network), which uses the newly designed Depth-wise Pyramid Pooling (DPP) block and a dense block with multi-dilated depth-wise residual connections. This proposed DPPNet model is evaluated and compared with the benchmark semantic segmentation models on the Land-cover and WHDLD high-resolution Space-borne Sensor (HRS) datasets. The proposed model provides DC, IoU, OA, Ka scores of (88.81%, 78.29%), (76.35%, 60.92%), (87.15%, 81.02%), (77.86%, 72.73%) on the Land-cover and WHDLD HRS datasets respectively. Results show that the proposed DPPNet model provides better performances, in both quantitative and qualitative terms, on these standard benchmark datasets than current state-of-art methods. © 2017 IEEE.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 FPGA implementation of deep learning architecture for kidney cancer detection from histopathological images(Springer, 2024) Lal, S.; Chanchal, A.K.; Kini, J.; Upadhyay, G.K.Kidney cancer is the most common type of cancer, and designing an automated system to accurately classify the cancer grade is of paramount importance for a better prognosis of the disease from histopathological kidney cancer images. Application of deep learning neural networks (DLNNs) for histopathological image classification is thriving and implementation of these networks on edge devices has been gaining the ground correspondingly due to high computational power and low latency requirements. This paper designs an automated system that classifies histopathological kidney cancer images. For experimentation, we have collected Kidney histopathological images of Non-cancerous, cancerous, and their respective grade of Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) from Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Mangalore, Karnataka, India. We have implemented and analyzed performances of deep learning architectures on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) board. Results yield that the Inception-V3 network provides better accuracy for kidney cancer detection as compared to other deep learning models on Kidney histopathological images. Further, the DenseNet-169 network provides better accuracy for kidney cancer grading as compared to other existing deep learning architecture on the FPGA board. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2023.Item Classification and grade prediction of kidney cancer histological images using deep learning(Springer, 2024) Chanchal, A.K.; N, S.; Lal, S.; Kumar, S.; Saxena, P.U.P.Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignant tumor (85%) of kidney cancer and has a complex histological pattern and nuclear structure. The manual diagnosis of kidney cancer or any other cancer from histopathology image depends on the knowledge and experience of pathologists, and the pathologist’s experience influences the results. According to studies, the kind of histology in kidney cancer is related to the prognosis and course of treatment. Since the kind of histology, molecular profile, and stage of the disease all affect how the disease is treated, there is an essential need to develop an automated system that can precisely analyze the histopathological images of the disease. This work demonstrates how a deep learning framework can be used to predict and classify associated grades of RCC from provided haematoxylin and eosin (H &E) images. The proposed model focuses on two important tasks- First to capture and extract associated features from the H &E images of five different grades. Second, to classify the new set of unseen H &E images into five separate grades using the obtained features. The proposed architecture has been tested and experimented on two independent datasets containing H &E stained histopathology images. The proposed architecture has been examined using the following performance metrics namely precision, recall, F1 - score, accuracy, Floating-point operations (FLOPs), and the total number of parameters. The obtained results show that the proposed architecture attains better results over seven state-of-the-art deep learning architectures on two different H &E stained histopathology image datasets. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024.
