  • Cell classification in microscopic images for anemia detection

    Revista Romana De Informatica Si Automatica, 2024
    Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disorder of the red blood cells in which there is an insufficient number of healthy red blood cells to transport oxygen effectively throughout the body. When observed under a microscope, the blood cells of an individual with sickle cell anemia exhibit a crescent or sickle-like shape. Image segmentation and classification techniques are necessary for detecting sickle cell anemia from microscopic images. Segmentation of the images is performed to distinguish between healthy and sickle (unhealthy) red blood cells. A mask of the microscopic image is first generated, which aids in the classification of cells. The mask generated is then further classified into circular, elongated and other cells, with the help of image processing. The erythrocytesIDB dataset is used for the detection of cells, which was provided by Universitat de les Illes Balears and available at http://erythrocytesidb.uib.es/. Upon the successful classification of cells into their respective types, it is concluded that circular cells are representative of healthy red blood cells, whereas elongated cells are characteristic of sickle cells. However, cells classified as "others" are indeterminate, and their association with sickle cells is uncertain, hence presenting a degree of ambiguity. In terms of performance evaluation, the proposed method achieved an accuracy of 94.907% in cell classification.
  • AirStrum: A virtual guitar using real-time hand gesture recognition and strumming technique

    Revista Romana De Informatica Si Automatica, 2024
    The efforts in the field of virtualizing the guitar into well-modelled software systems have faced a lot of practical limitations. The existing guitar simulation programs require additional devices such as Electromyography (EMG) controllers, or Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)-based recording devices. The EMG-based device is still a work in progress, the device is expensive and it was not very well received by the instrumentalists. There exists a gap in the bridge that joins physical instruments to their software counterparts. In this context, this paper aims to significantly remove the inaccuracies and drawbacks related to the existing solutions by accounting for the individual roles that each hand plays in the act of guitar strumming and consolidating them into a single system. The design of the proposed AirStrum system involves a multi-step process. Initially, a dataset is created by recording images of hand gestures corresponding to the playing of various chords on a guitar. The palm is detected, and its related skeleton image is generated using MediaPipe. Subsequently, a model based on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is trained and validated using the employed dataset to adeptly recognize and classify guitar chords. Additionally, this model incorporates a velocity detection function for the strumming hand. Finally, the proposed system can play different sounds by inferring both the played chord and the strumming velocity from human actions. This comprehensive approach enables a sophisticated virtual guitar experience based on a system that responds dynamically to the users' gestures and strumming techniques. The conducted experiments demonstrate that AirStrum achieves an accuracy of 95.92%, and a brief preliminary survey related to its perceived utility and usability received a positive feedback rate of 58% from eight guitar players.
  • Diagnosis of Central Canal Spinal Stenosis from Lumbar Mid-sagittal MR Images

    Central canal spinal stenosis is a significant ailment that impacts the spinal cord of humans. The current automated diagnostic methods for spinal stenosis are unable to diagnose minor abnormalities that may be present in the spinal cord. This paper introduces a novel approach for diagnosing central canal spinal stenosis from T2-weighted lumbar Magnetic Resonance (MR) images captured in the sagittal plane. A segmentation algorithm based on morphology is implemented for segmenting the spinal cord. After segmenting the image, the spinal cord’s skeleton is extracted, and overlapping sub-images are generated. The hybrid of statistical texture features and a novel Spinal Cord Projection Descriptor (SCPD) are extracted for all subimages. Using these features, a k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) classifier is trained and a model is constructed. Upon receiving a new test image, the system undergoes these processes to generate features. The features are then utilized by the model to classify the sub-image as either stenosis or non-stenosis. To evaluate the effectiveness of the model, a k-fold validation technique is employed. The constructed model has demonstrated an improved performance in accurately identifying the stenosis region and non-stenosis region, achieving an accuracy rate of 95.19%. The experiments conducted illustrate that the proposed stenosis diagnostic system outperforms existing methods in terms of its effectiveness and accuracy. This study provides promising results for the development of an effective automated diagnostic system for central canal stenosis, which could be of significant benefit to medical professionals and patients. Further research could focus on validating the proposed approach on larger datasets and integrating it into clinical practice.
