The universal transmission of pandemic COVID-19 (Coronavirus) causes an immediate need to commit in the fight across the whole human population. The emergencies for human health care are limited for this abrupt outbreak and abandoned environment. In this situation, inventive automation like computer vision (machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence), medical imaging (computed tomography, X-Ray) has developed an encouraging solution against COVID-19. In recent months, different techniques using image processing are done by various researchers. In this paper, a major review on image acquisition, segmentation, diagnosis, avoidance, and management are presented. An analytical comparison of the various proposed algorithm by researchers for coronavirus has been carried out. Also, challenges and motivation for research in the future to deal with coronavirus are indicated. The clinical impact and use of computer vision and deep learning were discussed and we hope that dermatologists may have better understanding of these areas from the study.
These days biometric authentication systems based on human characteristics such as face, finger, voice and iris are becoming popular among researchers. These systems identify an individual as an authentic or an imposter using a database of enrolled individuals. These systems do not provide other information about imposter such as her gender or ethnicity. Various researchers have utilized facial images for gender classification. Iris images have also been used for identification but there exists a very few references reporting the identification of human attributes such as gender with the help of iris images. In this paper gender has been identified using iris images. Statistical features and texture features using wavelets have been extracted from iris images. A classification model based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) has been developed to classify gender and an accuracy of 83.06% has been achieved in this work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
