    Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models for Ship Classification from Satellite Images
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Hazarika, H.; Jidesh, P.; Smitha, A.
    The automatic detection of the ship from satellite image analysis is the limelight of research in recent years due to its widespread applications. In this paper, a handful of traditional machine learning and deep learning models are compared based on their performance to classify the satellite images available in the public repository as a ship or other categories. The Support Vector Machine(SVM), Decision Trees, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Gaussian Naive Bayes (GaussianNB), and Logistic Regression are machine learning models used in the present work. Histogram of Gradient (HoG) features are used as feature descriptors considering the diverse size and shape of ships in the satellite image dataset. Transfer learning is applied using the deep learning models namely, Inception and ResNet, that are fine-tuned for various learning rates and optimizers. The meticulous experimentation carried out reveals that traditional machine learning performs well when trained and tested on a single dataset. However, there is a drastic change in the performance of machine learning models when tested on a different ship dataset. The results show that the deep learning models have better feature detection and thus have better performance when transfer learning is used on various datasets. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    A nonlocal deep image prior model to restore optical coherence tomographic images from gamma distributed speckle noise
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2021) Smitha, A.; Padikkal, P.
    Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is often employed to observe the retinal layers in the human eyes. The retinal scans are susceptible to artefacts such as head movements or eye blinks. Along with this, the quality of the images is degraded by speckle noise caused due to the constructive and destructive interference of the waves used for capturing data. Recently, image restoration techniques have geared up in terms of quality with the exertion of deep learning. Despeckling using deep learning, in general, necessitates a large set of training images. On the contrary, deep image prior is a novel model that performs denoising operations using a single training image, based on a prior assumption about the noise distribution. This paper extends the concept of the deep image prior towards non-local restoration for speckle noise assuming that the speckle follows Gamma distribution. Such a framework can be incorporated to enhance the OCT images. The proposed framework is assessed qualitatively with visual comparisons and quantitatively using statistical measures like PSNR, CNR and ENL. Comparative studies confirm that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods in restoring speckled input images. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
