Early detection of all types of lung nodules with different characters in medical modality images using computer-aided detection is the best acceptable remedy to save the lives of lung cancer sufferers. But accuracy of different types of nodule detection rates is based on chosen segmented procedures for parenchyma and nodules. Separation of pleural from juxta-pleural nodules (JPNs) is difficult as intensity of pleural and attached nodule is similar. This research paper proposes a fully automated method to detect and segment JPNs. In the proposed method, lung parenchyma is segmented using iterative thresholding algorithm. To improve the nodules detection rate separation of connected lung lobes, an algorithm is proposed to separate connected left and right lung lobes. The new method segments JPNs based on lung boundary pixels extraction, concave points extraction, and separation of attached pleural from nodule. Validation of the proposed method was performed on LIDC-CT images. The experimental result confirms that the developed method segments the JPNs with less computational time and high accuracy.

In the world various methods are being adopted to create a systematic identification for their citizens. In year 2009, UIDAI a government body of India initiated a 12-digit number called Aadhar number, which is generated out of biometric and demographic fusion of an individual and their identity. In order to ensure a highest level of data protection as well as privacy preservation of the Aadhar card propagation through a network, it requires an efficient model of security that becomes synchronous with the cloud infrastructure. This paper initially investigates the existing approaches and their limitations towards the Aadhar card security proposes a security model namely ECrypto-AaDhaar based on the cryptography approach synchronous to the cloud architecture. The privacy preservation of the AAdhar card associative demographic and biometric information is performed considering a statistical crypto-blocking operation prior propagating it through the network in the context of cloud infrastructure. The study later also presented an experimental analysis to demonstrate the performance of ECrypto-AaDhaar technique from a time complexity perspective.

Early detection of all kinds of lung nodules with different characters in patient’s medical modality images is the best acceptable remedy to save the life of lung cancer sufferers. Even though day by day the prominence of Computer-Aided Detection/Diagnosis (CADe/x) systems have been increasing as a part of medical routine in detection of different types of lung nodules, but detection rate performance depends on accuracy of lung parenchyma and nodule segmentation procedures. Segmentation of Juxta-Vascular nodules attached very complex. In this paper new fully automated CAD system is developed to detect and classify Juxta-Vascular nodules. In proposed methodology, lung parenchyma is segmented using iterative thresholding algorithm and lung nodules are segmented using proposed modified region growing algorithm. Since in vascular nodules, separation of blood vessel from nodule is difficult as intensity feature of attached blood vessel and nodule is same. Two new methods nodule segmentation method and vessel removal based on multi features to separate the vascular nodule part from the attached blood vessels are developed. To achieve the higher nodule-vessel separation accuracy, nodule-vessel attached region is refined. Validation of proposed method is performed on LIDC-CT lung images. A fully automated method segments the vascular nodules with less computational time and high accuracy.

Lung cancer health care community depends on lung cancer Computer Aided Detection system to draw useful lung cancer details from Computed Tomography lung images. Nodules growth rate indicates the severity of the disease, which can be periodically radiologist analyzed by nodule segmentation and classification. Main challenges in analyzing nodules growth rate are lung nodules of different type requires special methods for segmentation, their irregular shape, and boundary. In this paper, automatic three-phase framework for lung nodules and nodules of ground glass opacity detection followed by classification is proposed. In this work, nodule segmentation framework uses proposed automatic region growing algorithm that selects set of black pixels as seed points automatically from output binary image for lung parenchyma segmentation followed by artifacts removal to reduce disease search space. Nodules are segmented based on nodule candidates center pixels identification and intensity feature of lung nodule candidates. Segmented nodules are classified using SVM classifier and classification results are compared with other considered classifiers KNN, boosting and decision tree. In the evaluation step, it was found that SVM classifier’s performance is outstanding compared to other considered classifiers in this work. Complete automation in nodule detection within very less time is the key feature of the proposed method. CT images are taken from Lung Image Database Consortium and Image Database Resource Initiative (LIDC/IDRI) public database to evaluate the performance of proposed work. An accuracy of 98% (45/46) with less computational time is achieved. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method achieve efficient and accurate segmentation of lung nodules and ground glass opacity nodules with less computation time.

In the recent era, the research interest has increased among different computer and communication societies towards microarray gene expression detection and profiling. Despite of having a wide range of applications, the more emphasize has been kept towards cancer and its sub-type classifications. It has been seen in the past that the existing data mining approaches impose more cost of computation during pattern discovery and correlation establishment. Thereby, it is needed to address this shortcoming to strengthen the reliable cancer detection and classification process cost-effectively. An efficient machine learning tool has a better scope of optimization towards handling margin and error factors. Addressing this open research issue, the current study has come up with a novel method namely Optimal Framework for Microarray Data Classification (OFDMC) which incorporates Eigenvector decomposition to perform dimension reduction of gene expression data without compromising the complexity and accuracy aspects. The study also validates the performance of the proposed system by introducing a numerical analysis.

In this paper, a method has been presented to convert finite automaton to fuzzy automaton as fuzzy automaton is better than finite automaton for strings comparison when individual levels of similarity for particular pairs of symbols or sequences of symbols are defined. A finite automaton is useful in determining whether a given string is accepted or not whereas fuzzy automaton determines the extent to which the string is accepted.
