Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are very challenging to treat due to their sensitivity, technical challenges during surgery, and high expenses. The complexity of the brain structures makes it difficult to distinguish between the various brain tissues and categorize AD using conventional classification methods. Furthermore, conventional approaches take a lot of time and might not always be precise. Hence, a suitable classification framework with brain imaging may produce more accurate findings for early diagnosis of AD. Therefore in this paper, an effective hybrid Xception and Fractalnet-based deep learning framework are implemented to classify the stages of AD into five classes. Initially, a network based on Unet++ is built to segment the tissues of the brain. Then, using the segmented tissue components as input, the Xception-based deep learning technique is employed to extract high-level features. Finally, the optimized Fractalnet framework is used to categorize the disease condition using the acquired characteristics. The proposed strategy is tested on the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset that accurately segments brain tissues with a 98.45% of dice similarity coefficient (DSC). Additionally, for the multiclass classification of AD, the suggested technique obtains an accuracy of 99.06%. Moreover, ANOVA statistical analysis is also used to evaluate if the groups are significant or not. The findings show that the suggested model outperforms various state-of-the-art methods in terms of several performance metrics.

In the human body, white blood cells (WBCs) are crucial immune cells that help in the early detection of a variety of illnesses. Determination of the number of WBCs can be used to diagnose conditions such as hematological, immunological, and autoimmune diseases, as well as AIDS and leukemia. However, the conventional method of classifying and counting WBCs is time-consuming, laborious, and potentially erroneous. Therefore, this paper presents a computer-assisted automated method for recognizing and detecting WBC categories from blood images. Initially, the blood cell image is preprocessed and then segmented using an effective deep learning architecture called SegNet. Then, the important features are devised and extracted using the EfficientNet architecture. Finally, the WBCs are categorized into four different types using the XGBoost classifier: neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes. The advantages of SegNet, EfficientNet, and XGBoost make the proposed model more robust and achieve a more efficient classification of the WBCs. The BCCD dataset is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed methodology, and the findings are compared to existing state-of-the-art approaches based on accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, and F1-score. Evaluation results show that the proposed approach has a higher rank-1 accuracy of 99.02% and outperformed other existing techniques.
