The exponential rise in technologies has revitalized academia-industries to achieve more efficient computer aided diagnosis systems. It becomes inevitable especially for Glaucoma detection which has been increasing with vast pace globally. Most of the existing approaches employs morphological features like optical disk and optical cup information, optical cup to disk ratio etc; however enabling optimal detection of such traits has always been challenge for researchers. On the other hand, in the last few years deep learning methods have gained widespread attention due to its ability to exploit fine grained features of images to make optimal classification decision. However, reliance of such methods predominantly depends on the presence of deep features demanding suitable feature extraction method. To achieve it major existing approaches extracts full-image features that with high dimensional kernel generates gigantically huge features, making classification computationally overburdened. Therefore, retaining optimal balance between deep features and computational overhead is of utmost significance for glaucoma detection and classification. With this motive, in this paper a novel hybrid deep learning model has been developed for Glaucoma detection and classification. The proposed Hybrid CNN model embodies Stacked Auto-Encoder (SAE) with transferable learning model AlexNet that extracts high dimensional features to make further two-class classification. To achieve computational efficiency, In addition to the classical ReLu and dropout (50%), we used Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) algorithms. We applied 10-fold cross validation assisted Support Vector Machine classifier to perform two-class classification; Glaucomatous and Normal fundus images. Simulation results affirmed that the proposed Hybrid deep learning model with LDA feature selection and SVM-Poly classification achieves the maximum accuracy of 98.8%, precision 97.5%, recall 97.5% and F-Measure of 97.8%.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is highly contagious and pathogenic. Currently, the diagnosis of COVID-19 is based on nucleic acid testing, but it has false negatives and hysteresis. The use of lung CT scans can help screen and effectively monitor diagnosed cases. The application of computer-aided diagnosis technology can reduce the burden on doctors, which is conducive to rapid and large-scale diagnostic screening. In this paper, we proposed an automatic detection method for COVID-19 based on spatiotemporal information fusion. Using the segmentation network in the deep learning method to segment the lung area and the lesion area, the spatiotemporal information features of multiple CT scans are extracted to perform auxiliary diagnosis analysis. The performance of this method was verified on the collected dataset. We achieved the classification of COVID-19 CT scans and non-COVID-19 CT scans and analyzed the development of the patients’ condition through the CT scans. The average accuracy rate is 96.7%, sensitivity is 95.2%, and F1 score is 95.9%. Each scan takes about 30 seconds for detection.

This paper describes a series of 10,500 attempts at »pattern-recognition« by two groups of humans and a computer based system. There was little difference between the performances of 11 clinicians and 11 other persons of comparable intellectual capability. Both groups’ performances were related to the pattern-size, the accuracy diminishing rapidly as the patterns grew larger. By contrast the computer system increased its accuracy as the patterns increased in size.It is suggested (a) that clinicians are very little better than others at pattem-recognition, (b) that the clinician is incapable of analysing on a probabilistic basis the data he collects during a traditional clinical interview and examination and (c) that the study emphasises once again a major difference between human and computer performance. The implications as - regards human- and computer-aided diagnosis are discussed.
