A good understanding of the population dynamics of algal communities is crucial in several ecological and pollution studies of freshwater and oceanic systems. This paper reviews the subsequent introduction to the automatic identification of the algal communities using image processing techniques from microscope images. The diverse techniques of image preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and recognition are considered one by one and their parameters are summarized. Automatic identification and classification of algal community are very difficult due to various factors such as change in size and shape with climatic changes, various growth periods, and the presence of other microbes. Therefore, the significance, uniqueness, and various approaches are discussed and the analyses in image processing methods are evaluated. Algal identification and associated problems in water organisms have been projected as challenges in image processing application. Various image processing approaches based on textures, shapes, and an object boundary, as well as some segmentation methods like, edge detection and color segmentations, are highlighted. Finally, artificial neural networks and some machine learning algorithms were used to classify and identifying the algae. Further, some of the benefits and drawbacks of schemes are examined.

To improve the efficiency of the periodic surveys of the asphalt pavement condition, this study puts forward an intelligent method for automating the classification of pavement crack patterns. The new approach relies on image processing techniques and computational intelligence algorithms. The image processing techniques of Laplacian pyramid and projection integral are employed to extract numerical features from digital images. Least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) and Differential Flower Pollination (DFP) are the two computational intelligence algorithms that are employed to construct the crack classification model based on the extracted features. LSSVM is employed for data classification. In addition, the model construction phase of LSSVM requires a proper setting of the regularization and kernel function parameters. This study relies on DFP to fine-tune these two parameters of LSSVM. A dataset consisting of 500 image samples and five class labels of alligator crack, diagonal crack, longitudinal crack, no crack, and transverse crack has been collected to train and verify the established approach. The experimental results show that the Laplacian pyramid is really helpful to enhance the pavement images and reveal the crack patterns. Moreover, the hybridization of LSSVM and DFP, named as DFP-LSSVM, used with the Laplacian pyramid at the level 4 can help us to achieve the highest classification accuracy rate of 93.04%. Thus, the new hybrid approach of DFP-LSSVM is a promising tool to assist transportation agencies in the task of pavement condition surveying.

The mortality rate is increasing among the growing population and one of the leading causes is lung cancer. Early diagnosis is required to decrease the number of deaths and increase the survival rate of lung cancer patients. With the advancements in the medical field and its technologies CAD system has played a significant role to detect the early symptoms in the patients which cannot be carried out manually without any error in it. CAD is detection system which has combined the machine learning algorithms with image processing using computer vision. In this research a novel approach to CAD system is presented to detect lung cancer using image processing techniques and classifying the detected nodules by CNN approach. The proposed method has taken CT scan image as input image and different image processing techniques such as histogram equalization, segmentation, morphological operations and feature extraction have been performed on it. A CNN based classifier is trained to classify the nodules as cancerous or non-cancerous. The performance of the system is evaluated in the terms of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy

In this study, an image processing techniques (IPTs) and a Sugeno-typed neuro-fuzzy system (NFS) model is presented for classifying the wheat grains into bread and durum. Images of 200 wheat grains are taken by a high resolution camera in order to generate the data set for training and testing processes of the NFS model. The features of 5 dimensions which are length, width, area, perimeter and fullness are acquired through using IPT. Then NFS model input with the dimension parameters are trained through 180 wheat grain data and their accuracies are tested via 20 data. The proposed NFS model numerically calculate the outputs with mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.0312 and classify the grains with accuracy of 100% for the testing process. These results show that the IPT based NFS model can be successfully applied to classification of wheat grains.

Visual classification of commercial products is a branch of the wider fields of object detection and feature extraction in computer vision, and, in particular, it is an important step in the creative workflow in fashion industries. Automatically classifying garment features makes both designers and data experts aware of their overall production, which is fundamental in order to organize marketing campaigns, avoid duplicates, categorize apparel products for e-commerce purposes, and so on. There are many different techniques for visual classification, ranging from standard image processing to machine learning approaches: this work, made by using and testing the aforementioned approaches in collaboration with Adidas AG™, describes a real-world study aimed at automatically recognizing and classifying logos, stripes, colors, and other features of clothing, solely from final rendering images of their products. Specifically, both deep learning and image processing techniques, such as template matching, were used. The result is a novel system for image recognition and feature extraction that has a high classification accuracy and which is reliable and robust enough to be used by a company like Adidas. This paper shows the main problems and proposed solutions in the development of this system, and the experimental results on the Adidas AG™ dataset.
