This paper discusses how to efficiently recognize flowers based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) using multiple features. Our proposed work consists of three phases including segmentation by Otsu thresholding with particle swarm optimization algorithms, feature extraction of color, shape, texture and recognition with the LeNet-5 neural network. In the feature extraction, an improved H component with the definition of WGB value is applied to extract the color feature, and a new algorithm based on local binary pattern (LBP) is proposed to enhance the accuracy of texture extraction. Besides this, we replace ReLU with Mish as activation function in the network design, and therefore increase the accuracy by 8% accuracy according to our comparison. The Oxford-102 and Oxford-17 datasets are adopted for benchmarking. The experimental results show that the combination of color features and texture features generates the highest recognition accuracy as 92.56% on Oxford-102 and 93% on Oxford-17.

As one of the fatal human diseases, early detection of brain tumors can effectively save patients' lives. Brain tumor image segmentation is of great practical importance for physicians to perform brain tumor diagnoses quickly. Due to the data complexity of 3D brain images, it is impractical to segment out tumor regions manually, so automatic and reliable methods can be utilized instead of manual work to achieve accurate segmentation of tumor regions. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end, more efficient brain tumor MRI segmentation model, REMU-Net, for the problems of multi-scale feature extraction and difficulty in small target feature extraction in 3D brain tumor image segmentation. Firstly, design and use the multi-channel parallel M-RepVGG module as a decoder to achieve multi-scale feature fusion. Secondly, embedding dilated convolution with different dilated rates in the DM-RepVGG module of the encoder to better extract features at different scales. Finally, introduce the expectation-maximizing attention in the network to better extract the features of the internal details of the tumor. The experimental results on the BraTS2018 validation dataset are Dice scores of 80.93%, 90.13%, and 86.15%, respectively. Experimental results on the BraTS2019 validation dataset can be achieved with Dice scores of 78.29%, 90.65%, and 82.77%, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
