Abstract

Skin diseases have a serious impact on human life and health. This article aims to represent the classification accuracy of skin diseases for supporting the physicians’ correct decision on patients for early treatment. In particular, 100 images in each type of five skin diseases from ISIC database are used for balanced datasets related to the classification accuracy. In addition, this paper focuses on processing images for extracting six optimal types of eleven features of skin disease image for higher classification performance and also this takes less time for training. Therefore, skin disease images are filtered and segmented for separating region of interests (ROIs) before extracting optimal features. First, the skin disease images are processed by normalizing sizes, removing noises, segmenting to separate region of interests (ROIs) showing skin disease signs. Next, a gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) method is applied for texture analysis to extract eleven features. With the optimal six features chosen, the high classification accuracy of skin diseases is about 92% evaluated using a matrix confusion. The result showed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Furthermore, this method can be developed for other medical datasets for supporting in disease diagnosis.

Abstract

Self-mobility electric wheelchairs are very useful for people with disabilities, so they can move without help in indoor environments. To create one selfmobility electric wheelchair, modern methods for control such as computer vision and machine learning can be applied. In particular, this electric wheelchair can move from any position in the indoor environment to the desired destination. For accuracy, natural landmarks are used and the navigation of the wheelchair is determined using a Q-learning reinforcement learning algorithm. In particular, this algorithm is applied to find the best path for the wheelchair to reach the destination. The article proposes a method to build one 2D grid map for wheelchair movement based on natural landmarks in the indoor environment. The new point of this method is that the position of the wheelchair can be accurately determined from a certain landmark instead of many landmarks applied in traditional methods. Some practical experiments were performed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in the indoor environment. This proposed method can be developed in more complex environments with natural landmarks.
