Computer Assisted Unsupervised Extraction and Validation Technique for Brain Images from MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of human is a developing field in medical research because it assists in considering the brain anomalies. To identify and analyze brain anomalies, the research requires brain extraction. Brain extraction is a significant clinical image handling method for quick conclusion with clinical perception for quantitative assessment. Automated methods of extracting brain from MRI are challenging, due to the connected pixel intensity information for various regions such as skull, sub head and neck tissues. This paper presents a fully automated extraction of brain area from MRI. The steps involved in developing the method to extract brain area, includes image contrast limited using histogram, background suppression using average filtering, pixel region growing method by finding pixel intensity similarity and filling discontinuity inside brain region. Twenty volumes of brain slices are utilized in this research method. The outcome is achieved by this method is approved by comparing with manually extracted slices. The test results confirm the performance of this strategy can effectively section brain from MRI. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -

Automated Fetal Brain Localization, Segmentation, and Abnormalities Detection Through Random Sample Consensus
The ability to detect and identify prenatal brain abnormalities using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is critical, as one in every 1000 women is pregnant with one. The brain is abnormal. Detection of embryonic brain abnormalities at an early stage machine learning techniques can help you increase the quality of your data. Treatment planning and diagnosis according to the literature that the majority of the research done in order to classify brain abnormalities in the term "very early age" refers to preterm newborns and neonates, not fetal development. However, studies of prenatal brain MRI imaging have been published and compared these images to the MRI scans of newborns to identify a non-fetal aberrant behavior in neonates. In this case, a pipeline procedure, on the other hand, is time-consuming. In this research, a machine learning-based pipeline process for fetal brain categorization (FBC) is proposed. The classification of fetal brain anomalies at an early stage, before the baby is delivered, is the paper's key contribution. The proposed approach uses a flexible and simple method with cheap processing cost to detect and categorize a variety of abnormalities from MRI images with a wide range of fetal gestational age (GA). Segmentation, augmentation, feature extraction, and classification and detecting anomalies of the fbrain are different phases of the recent method. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -

Secure and Private Federated Learning through Encrypted Parameter Aggregation
This chapter is dedicated to cross-silo private parameter aggregation. ML/DL has demonstrated promising results in a variety of application domains, especially when vast volumes of data are collected in one location, such as a data center or a cloud service. The goal of FL is to improve the quality of ML/DL models while minimizing their drawbacks. Participating devices in an FL task could range in size from a single smartphone or watch to a global corporation housing multiple data centers. It was originally believed that just a little amount of information about the original training data would be carried over into subsequent model updates as FL interactions occurred. The differential privacy framework is concerned with restricting the release of private information while sharing the outcomes of computations or queries performed on a dataset. Recently, many researchers have begun to employ differential privacy while training models in a federated setting. 2024 Saravanan Krishnan, A. Jose Anand, R. Srinivasan, R. Kavitha and S. Suresh. -
Ethical dimensions of GIS data privacy: Examining the intersection of ethics and privacy
The proliferation of mapping technologies has spurred significant attention to the ethical conduct surrounding geographic information systems (GIS).

An approach to improvise recognition rate from occluded and pose variant faces
Face recognition is increasingly gaining popularity in today's field mainly because one of the major applications of face recognition, surveillance cameras are being used in real world applications. At the same time, researchers are trying to increase the accuracy of recognition as recognizing face from an unconstrained faces is naturally difficult. In the case of real world application, during image capture there are high chances of faces appearing with different poses, face subjected to illumination and occlusion. In this paper we propose a model that can increase the recognition rate with faces of different pose and faces subjected to occlusion. We introduce the technique of in-painting to restore the occluded face in a frame of video. A dictionary set is created with restored occluded face and faces with varying inclination. In our proposed model, Discrete Curvelet Transform is used to extract features. Comparison with traditional method shows a better recognition rate. 2015 IEEE. -
