Diabetes is a serious metabolic disorder with high rate of prevalence worldwide; the disease has the characteristics of improper secretion of insulin in pancreas that results in high glucose level in blood. The disease is also associated with other complications such as cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy. The development of computer aided decision support system is inevitable field of research for disease diagnosis that will assist clinicians for the early prognosis of diabetes and to facilitate necessary treatment at the earliest. In this research study, a Traditional Chinese Medicine based diabetes diagnosis is presented based on analyzing the extracted features of panoramic tongue images such as color, texture, shape, tooth markings and fur. The feature extraction is done by Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)—ResNet 50 architecture, and the classification is performed by the proposed Deep Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) algorithm based on auto encoder learning mechanism. The proposed model is simulated in MATLAB environment and evaluated with performance metrics—accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, F1 score, error rate, and receiver operating characteristics (ROC). On comparing with existing models, the proposed CNN based Deep RBFNN machine learning classifier model outperformed with better classification performance and proving its effectiveness.
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.
