    Yuvaraj D, Jagathpranesh R, T. Velmurugan, Gokul Anand S, Meenalochini M, Mithrun R S
    Iccids 2026 9th International Conference on Computational Intelligence in Data Science, 2026
    Human Computer Interaction (HCI), affective computing, and mental health have experienced a sharp rise in use in EEG signal-based emotion classfication. Accurate and generalized emotion finding from Electroencephalography signal is a critical step for realizing the practical usage of functional Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). This work tracks a neat flowchart designed for dimensional emotion classification (Valence and Arousal) using public DEAP dataset. The primary innovation here is the use of a Multi-Task Time-Series Transformer (TST) model, which uses a Self-Attention method to dynamically filter subject specific noise and extract general neural patterns. The developed Time-Series Transformer framework predicts both Valence and Arousal simultaneously, by leveraging the intrinsic relation between two emotion factor. We used the Subject-Independent (LOSOCV) protocol combined with a non-leaking feature scaling strategy to ensure test data integrity. Experimental results confirm that the TST model’s effectiveness about 78.05% mean accuracy which was achieved for Valence classification, demonstrating state-of-the-art generalization capability across subjects. And the Arousal dimension came to 50.94% in the generalized test, experimentally confirming that Arousal-related features are highly subject-specific and thus demand individu-alized calibration. The proposed methodology establishes a new, verifiable benchmark for generalized EEG emotion recognition and automatically highlighting the potential and current limitations of BCI-based affective computing.
  • Smart Diagnosis of Cauliflower Diseases Using Deep Learning and Feature Optimization
    Meenalochini M., Amudha P.
    Journal of Innovative Image Processing, 2025
    Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) is one of the most popular crops that are subject to a variety of diseases affecting the leaf apparatus, which impact quality and production. Despite the progress in deep learning, appropriate disease detection under real-field conditions remains a serious problem. This paper introduces an expert system GNN-PDP, which is a novel Graph Neural Network based model for the automated classification of cauliflower leaf diseases using images taken with a smartphone. A Region Growing Segmentation (RGS) is used to extract perceptual regions in this structure and statistical features are utilized as graph node features. The Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) finds optimal features that result in better generalization. A total of 750 images were gathered in four categories of diseases. The assessment was made based on accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, and F1-score, in relation to Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Random Forest (RF), Deep Neural Networks (DNN), and CNN classifiers. GNN-PDP achieved a superior classification accuracy of 89.0%, outperforming all other experiments. The model has great potential for smart agriculture in disease management.
  • Capsule Network for Pioneering Disease Detection in Cauliflower Cultivation with Mobile Application Development
    Meenalochini M, Amudha P
    Journal of Machine and Computing, 2025
    Cauliflower cultivation is challenged by various diseases that can severely impact crop health and yield. Traditional disease detection methods are often labour-intensive and prone to errors, highlighting the need for automated and efficient prediction systems. In this study, we propose the use of Capsule Neural Networks (CapsNet) for disease prediction in cauliflower cultivation named as CauliCaps. CapsNet introduces dynamic routing units to capture spatial relationships and hierarchical structures within images more effectively than traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). We assemble a comprehensive dataset of labelled cauliflower leaf images, preprocess them for optimal input, and train the CapsNet model using an appropriate loss function and optimization algorithm. Metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score are used to compare the model's performance to state-of-the-art techniques. Additionally, we discuss the development of a mobile application based on the trained CapsNet model for real-time disease diagnosis in cauliflower cultivation. This research aims to advance disease prediction in cauliflower cultivation, enabling proactive management strategies and ultimately contributing to improved crop health and sustainability.

    Sathis Kumar K, Janani T, Karpagavadivu K, Raihana A, Meenalochini M
    Proceedings 4th International Conference on Smart Technologies Communication and Robotics 2025 Stcr 2025, 2025
    Efficiency of the network communication and performance of the Network of Chips (NoC) with respect to the Quality of Service is greatly affected by the contention of the shared resources. Here, in this paper the design of MPSoC (MultiProcessor System on Chip) is done which is based on Network of Chips involves two steps – scheduling the sub tasks with respect to the Processing elements (PE) and further mapping the PE to the switching nodes which is present in the NoC topology. The evolutionary computation technique is applied once the development of the task model is completed to complete the first step which in turn helps in achieving less transfer cost as well as the running and execution time. The algorithm used in the proposed approach is the Candidate Optimization Algorithm (COA). Based on the NoC topology minimal expected network transmission delay along with less resource and power consumption is used to achieve the second step. The results obtained out of the comparison shows the resources and power consumption which is preferred by the COA algorithm in designing the system.

  • GNN-based Disease Detection and Classification in Cassava Leaf
    M Meenalochini, A Amalroshini, K L Megha Nandhini, C R Sogil Murugan
    Proceedings of 5th International Conference on Iot Based Control Networks and Intelligent Systems Icicnis 2024, 2024
    Cassava, a staple crop for millions of people worldwide, is highly susceptible to various leaf diseases, which can significantly reduce crop yields. Detecting and classifying these diseases at an early stage is crucial for effective disease management and crop protection. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for cassava leaf disease classification by combining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). While CNNs excel at extracting local features from images, they often fail to capture complex spatial relationships between different regions of the leaf. To address this limitation, we integrate GNNs, which are well-suited for learning from irregular, structured data, such as the vein patterns and disease spread structures found in cassava leaves. By modeling the relationship between different regions of the cassava leaf as a graph G (V, E), where V represents nodes corresponding to superpixel regions of the leaf, and E represents edges capturing spatial relationships, the hybrid CNN-GNN model offers a more comprehensive and accurate classification system. The model is trained and evaluated on a dataset of cassava leaf images covering multiple disease categories, demonstrating superior performance over traditional CNN-based image classification techniques. This approach provides a scalable solution for improving the detection and management of cassava leaf diseases.

    M. Meenalochini, K. Saranya, G.V. Rajkumar, Akash Mahto
    Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Communication and Electronics Systems Icces 2018, 2018
    Content based image retrieval plays a most important role in large collection of images and image database. It will search the image based on user's request and it involves the image features like color, texture and shape. In this paper, CBIR using Perceptual hashing is implemented with feature extraction techniques like Color histogram, Gabor filters, and Canny's edge detection. The hash codes are generated for feature extracted images and similarity measure is computed for retrieved images. By using hashing codes, we can achieve linear search time complexity and can speed up the retrieving process.
  • Secure continuous aggregation and load balancing with false temporal pattern identification for wireless sensor networks
    T. Abirami, M. Meenalochini, S. Thilakraj
    Icetech 2015 2015 IEEE International Conference on Engineering and Technology, 2015
    Continuous aggregation is required in sensor applications to obtain the temporal variation information of aggregates. It helps the users to understand how the environment changes over time and track real time measurements for trend analysis. In the continuous aggregation, the attacker could manipulate a series of aggregation results through compromised nodes to fabricate false temporal variation patterns of the aggregates. Existing secure aggregation schemes conduct one individual verification for each aggregation result. Due to the high frequency and the long period of a continuous aggregation in every epoch, the false temporal variation pattern would incur a great communication cost. In this paper, we detect and verify a false temporal variations pattern by checking only a small part of aggregation results to reduces a verification cost. A sampling based approach is used to check the aggregation results and we also proposed a security mechanisms to protect the sampling process.
