The generation of high-quality, realistic face generation has emerged as a key field of research in computer vision. This paper proposes a robust approach that combines a Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (SRGAN) with a Pyramid Attention Module (PAM) to enhance the quality of deep face generation. The SRGAN framework is designed to improve the resolution of generated images, addressing common challenges such as blurriness and a lack of intricate details. The Pyramid Attention Module further complements the process by focusing on multi-scale feature extraction, enabling the network to capture finer details and complex facial features more effectively. The proposed method was trained and evaluated over 100 epochs on the CelebA dataset, demonstrating consistent improvements in image quality and a marked decrease in generator and discriminator losses, reflecting the model’s capacity to learn and synthesize high-quality images effectively, given adequate computational resources. Experimental outcome demonstrates that the SRGAN model with PAM module has outperformed, yielding an aggregate discriminator loss of 0.055 for real, 0.043 for fake, and a generator loss of 10.58 after training for 100 epochs. The model has yielded an structural similarity index measure of 0.923, that has outperformed the other models that are considered in the current study for analysis.

Globally, skin cancer is a prevalent form of malignancy, and its early and accurate diagnosis is critical for patient survival. Clinical evaluation of skin lesions is essential, but several challenges, such as long waiting times and subjective interpretations, make this task difficult. The recent advancement of deep learning in healthcare has shown much success in diagnosing and classifying skin cancer and has assisted dermatologists in clinics. Deep learning improves the speed and precision of skin cancer diagnosis, leading to earlier prediction and treatment. In this work, we proposed a novel deep architecture for skin cancer classification in innovative healthcare. The proposed framework performed data augmentation at the first step to resolve the imbalance issue in the selected dataset. The proposed architecture is based on two customized, innovative Convolutional neural network (CNN) models based on small depth and filter sizes. In the first model, four residual blocks are added in a squeezed fashion with a small filter size. In the second model, five residual blocks are added with smaller depth and more useful weight information of the lesion region. To make models more useful, we selected the hyperparameters through Bayesian Optimization, in which the learning rate is selected. After training the proposed models, deep features are extracted and fused using a novel information entropy-controlled Euclidean Distance technique. The final features are passed on to the classifiers, and classification results are obtained. Also, the proposed trained model is interpreted through LIME-based localization on the HAM10000 dataset. The experimental process of the proposed architecture is performed on two dermoscopic datasets, HAM10000 and ISIC2019. We obtained an improved accuracy of 90.8% and 99.3% on these datasets, respectively. Also, the proposed architecture returned 91.6% for the cancer localization. In conclusion, the proposed architecture accuracy is compared with several pre-trained and state-of-the-art (SOTA) techniques and shows improved performance.

Identifying fruit disease manually is time-consuming, expert-required, and expensive; thus, a computer-based automated system is widely required. Fruit diseases affect not only the quality but also the quantity. As a result, it is possible to detect the disease early on and cure the fruits using computer-based techniques. However, computer-based methods face several challenges, including low contrast, a lack of dataset for training a model, and inappropriate feature extraction for final classification. In this paper, we proposed an automated framework for detecting apple fruit leaf diseases using CNN and a hybrid optimization algorithm. Data augmentation is performed initially to balance the selected apple dataset. After that, two pre-trained deep models are fine-tuning and trained using transfer learning. Then, a fusion technique is proposed named Parallel Correlation Threshold (PCT). The fused feature vector is optimized in the next step using a hybrid optimization algorithm. The selected features are finally classified using machine learning algorithms. Four different experiments have been carried out on the augmented Plant Village dataset and yielded the best accuracy of 99.8%. The accuracy of the proposed framework is also compared to that of several neural nets, and it outperforms them all.
