Paddy cultivation is a significant global economic sector, with rice production playing a crucial role in influencing worldwide economies. However, insects in paddy farms predominantly impact the growth rate and ecological equilibrium of the agricultural field. Hence, the precise and timely identification of insects in agricultural settings presents a potential strategy for addressing this issue. This study aims to implement an automated system for paddy farming by employing a real-time framework that incorporates the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain technology, and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms. The primary emphasis of the DL-based system is on the timely identification of pests. In contrast, integrating the IoT and blockchain technologies facilitates stablishing a fully automated system with security within the agricultural domain. The DL-based system includes a secondary dataset of paddy insects, and then preprocessing, feature extraction, and identification have been performed. Besides, an IoT-based system is embodied with a camera module and microprocessor, accompanied by some apparatus required to automate the whole system. In addition, the research also includes the blockchain to secure each individual data transmission among the several IoT components and the cloud server. While examining the proposed solution, various experimental data have been systematically documented and analyzed. The proposed framework attained a peak accuracy of 98.91% using the VGG19 model and ensemble classifiers to detect the pest with a specificity of 99.14% and a precision of 98.21%. The study additionally quantifies the mean duration of the cloud response when integrated with IoT, yielding an average time of 1.71 s after pest identification. Nevertheless, the system has exhibited a high level of efficacy in the context of real-time monitoring and automation of paddy farms.
Bio-inspired Heuristic Optimization-based Cascaded Network for Diabetic Retinopathy Screening

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common yet fatal complication of diabetic patients in which high levels of blood sugar damage the blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive eye tissue crucial for human vision. Early detection and timely intervention are essential to managing DR and preventing severe vision loss. Traditionally, the examination is performed by ophthalmologists manually examining the retinal fundus images to check for signs of DR. This approach is helpful but subjective, time-consuming and tedious. Artificial intelligence (AI)-guided computer vision has recently become very compelling and practical for image analysis and diagnosis. Existing AI-based methods achieved sufficient accuracy at the cost of high computing resources and large datasets. This paper proposes a cascaded network incorporating deep learning and the traditional machine learning approaches with a bio-inspired heuristic optimization algorithm for DR detection from fundus images. The proposed method achieved sufficient accuracy (97.1%) when trained using limited data and low computing machines. The AI models for the cascaded networks were selected through an exhaustive search in which five popular CNN models were used for extracting features; the Bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) was used to determine optimal features, and seven traditional machine models were used to detect the DR. The ResNet50-BFO-SVC cascaded network was found to be most suitable in this study. The proposed cascaded network brings efficiency, accuracy, scalability, and robustness to DR screening. © 2024 IEEE.

A substantial and rising number of patients suffer from cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks, heart failure, and other related illnesses. This case surge places increasing pressure on healthcare professionals and administrators while patients grapple with growing medical costs. To address these challenges, an automated system is necessary within the healthcare sector. In this paper, we present a cardiovascular health monitoring system that incorporates Machine Learning techniques. The study employed feature selection techniques on a secondary dataset. The study has used a nature-inspired technique, namely the Clonal Selection Algorithm (CSA) and Maximum Relevance Minimum Redundancy (mRMR) technique, to identify the most prominent feature in the detection of cardio-vascular illness. This approach was combined with a collection of Machine Learning classifiers. A group of experimental data has been listed to assess the suggested model's effectiveness. The research findings indicated a maximum accuracy rate of 100% when employing the proposed algorithms and orientations. The study also discusses the performance analysis for CSA and mRMR using a set of performance evaluation matrices. Based on the obtained results, it can be inferred that the suggested model will likely exhibit a high level of effectiveness in identifying cardiovascular diseases.
