Non-Uniform Illumination Image Thresholding Using MLP Tapaswini Pattnaik, Priyadarshi Kanungo 2025 4th International Conference on Range Technology Icort 2025, 2025 One well-known and popular method for classifying objects and backgrounds in real time is thresholding. Because of its simplicity, it is especially well-suited for real-time applications. However, because background and object pixels have overlapping gray-level distributions, thresholding loses effectiveness when used on images taken in uneven lighting. In images with non-uniform lighting, global thresholding techniques fail to binarize because of an absence of visible bimodal histograms. The choice of the initial window size or sub-image size, which differs for each image, affects how well window-based or image partition-based local thresholding performs. Furthermore, the bimodal testing criterion function is necessary for the partitioning process to be effective. Choosing the right criterion function for bimodality and beginning window size for image partitioning are important issues in adaptive thresholding techniques. The suggested approach takes into account machine learning (ML) techniques to increase the accuracy of uneven light image thresholding. The objective is to use global thresholding to binarize an image and predict the non-uniform illumination surface. The suggested MLP-based approach outperforms the local and surface-based thresholding methods in terms of average performance metric.

Brain tumor Segmentation using DeepAttRes-Unet based transfer learning Pallavi Priyadarshini, Smita Parija, Priyadarshi Kanungo, Prabodh Kumar Sahoo, Tejaswini Kar Iet Conference Proceedings, 2025 Early-stage brain tumor identification is a difficult issue that is well handled by machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) classifiers. In order to identify the best classifier, a comparison analysis of the various ML classifier types is conducted in this work.Transfer learning allows us to reuse previously taught models. Transfer learning refers to applying previously acquired information to new activities.The identification and detection of brain tumors with MRIs is tough to perform manually. When done manually, detecting and classifying brain tumors with MRIs is a difficult process. Automation of these processes has become necessary. However, developing deep learning models from scratch on large datasets may be computationally intensive. This research offers a transfer learning for image segmentation and prediction of tumors. We utilized models and formed an Unet to segment the tissues in this work. We utilized the LGG dataset, which has 110 patient records, to conduct segmentation. We developed a unique residual model as the foundation for creating the unet from scratch and doing multispectral image segmentation. The suggested model works well, and its performance is measured by the Dice coefficient, Jaccard index, and IoU. The model produces an accuracy mean of 0.99 and a Dice coefficient mean of 0.8428.
Multigrade brain tumor classification in MRI images using Fine tuned efficientnet Pallavi Priyadarshini, Priyadarshi Kanungo, Tejaswini Kar E Prime Advances in Electrical Engineering Electronics and Energy, 2024 Medical imaging plays a vital role in detecting and treating brain tumors. Malignant or nonmalignant brain tissue’s abnormal growth causes long-term brain damage. It is crucial to detect and properly categorize the kind of brain tumor. Specialists normally use MRI to create high-contrast grayscale brain images to segment them. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) driven by deep learning (DL) have transformed computer-assisted testing systems by producing good results in a wide range of medical imaging analytics applications, including tumor diagnosis in the brain. The paper introduces a lightweight fine-tuned Convolutional Neural Network EfficientNet ’ECNN’ to detect brain tumors. In this study, we provide a transfer learning-based measurement strategy for grouping cerebrum growths in three distinct datasets with different classifications, such as meningioma, glioma, and pituitary growth, using fine-tuned EfficientNets. The findings of this research rely on Efficient Nets to classify brain tumors in three different types of datasets utilizing a fine-tuned transfer learning mechanism. With EfficientNetV2S as the system’s foundation, our proposed way of fine-tunned pre-trained EfficientNetV2S model outperformed for all datasets over state of the art methods. The effectiveness of the suggested model has been assessed using performance metrics, and outcomes were compared to those produced using state-of-the-art approaches. The average test accuracy, recall, precision, and sensitivity score are 98.48%, 98%, 98.5%, and 98.71%, respectively.
Video shot-boundary detection: issues, challenges and solutions T. Kar, P. Kanungo, Sachi Nandan Mohanty, Sven Groppe, Jinghua Groppe Artificial Intelligence Review, 2024 The integration of high data transmission rates and the recent digital multimedia technology, paves the way to access a huge amount of video over the internet, in seconds. Additionally, uploading videos to different websites is no more confined to expert software professionals resulting in duplication of video data which led to exorbitant growth of multimedia information in cyberspace in a short span of time. This necessitates the development of efficient data management techniques including storage, searching and annotation mechanism. Automatic shot boundary detection is considered to be the first and foremost step towards such management. It is a booming area of research gaining attention in the domain of image processing, computer vision and pattern recognition. In this review paper, we present a detailed description of the methods and algorithms of shot boundary detection, reported in the last two decades. This review shows that using multiple features performs well in comparison to using only a single feature in the shot boundary detection problem although it leads to higher complexity. The major sources of disturbance in the boundary detection are the sudden illumination variation and presence of high motion in the video. An adaptive threshold outperforms a single global threshold in the boundary detection problem and the threshold requirement can be avoided through learning based strategies at the cost of larger training data and higher computation time. Moreover the present review includes a critical analysis of relative merits and demerits of existing algorithms and finally opens promising research directions in the area.
Multiple linear regression based illumination normalization for non-uniform light image thresholding Tapaswini Pattnaik, Priyadarshi Kanungo, Tejaswini Kar, Prabodh Kumar Sahoo E Prime Advances in Electrical Engineering Electronics and Energy, 2024 Thresholding-based two-class image binarization is one of the simplest and most popular approaches. However, the performance of global thresholding degrades under non-uniform lighting conditions. Local thresholding methods are widely used for binarizing uneven light images. The appropriate choice of the initial size of the window and designing the bimodal criteria function are the most challenging tasks for the local thresholding approaches. Therefore, to make it simpler, in this work, a novel approach is developed to improve the efficacy of binarizing any uneven light images. To begin with, a two stage approach is developed to extract valid training sample points from the uneven light images for estimating the illumination surface. In addition, the Multiple-Linear-Regression (MLR) method is applied on the extracted training sample points to estimate the illumination surface. Furthermore, the estimated illumination surface is used to normalize the non-uniform light of the image to binarize the image using Otsu’s global thresholding. The proposed approach is validated on different variants of uneven light images and with six different states of art uneven light image binarization approaches. It is observed from the simulations that the performance of the proposed approach outperforms the other approaches in qualitative as well as quantitative measures. Further, the binarization of uneven document image methods are not effective on object background binarization of uneven images. The proposed approach has the average F-Measure (F1) score of 0.98, average Jaccard Index (JI) score of 0.97, average Percentage of Misclassification Error (PME) score of 1.10 and the computational complexity of 2.64 sec.
