Optimized Gabor Filter Banks and Autoencoder Models for Enhanced Knitted Fabric Defect Detection

There is a high need for an automated system to detect fabric defects, as the current manual methods used in the garment industries in Nepal are unreliable and costly. Previous research has focused on specific fabric defects rather than overall fabric defects efficiently. This research employs two autoencoder models to identify different defects across different types of knitted fabrics, utilizing two datasets: the SFDG dataset and a custom dataset prepared from Butwal’s garment industries. The models benefit from a carefully designed Gabor filter bank to examine fabric compositions. This filter bank is fine-tuned by modifying parameters, wavelength, and orientation to detect varieties of defects in knitted fabrics. These models get feature representations from the Gabor filter bank’s outputs and help the system adapt to different types of defect patterns, making defect detection more reliable and accurate. The nearest neighbor density estimator finds possible defects and marks on the fabric images. The model's effectiveness and strength are shown by validating it on different types of knitted fabrics, including plain and patterned fabrics, using evaluation metrices like cTPR and ROC AUC. The first model achieves a cTPR of 0.879 and an AUC score of 0.947, while the second model achieves a cTPR of 0.899 and an AUC score of 0.958.

RAGE-Net: Enhanced retinal vessel segmentation U-shaped network using Gabor convolution

Extracting vessel morphology from fundus images is pivotal in acquiring pathological insights and enabling early diagnosis of retinal disorders. Manual segmentation of retinal vessels requires a high degree of expertise and is notably time-intensive. Although existing deep learning techniques for retinal vessel segmentation predominantly hinge on U-shaped convolutional neural networks, significant headway has been made, complexities persist in delineating faint, low-contrast vessels amidst noisy backgrounds. To confront these challenges, we propose an innovative U-shaped convolutional neural network fortified with oriented priors, labeled as the Receptive Field Aggregating Gabor Enhance Network (RAGE-Net). We revamp the conventional U-shaped convolutional network with a foundation in Gabor wavelet and Gabor convolutional network, introducing a Gabor Matching Enhance Architecture (GMEA) amalgamated into the U-shaped convolutional network. This architecture comprises two distinct modules. Initially, a Dual-scale Gabor Enhance Module (DGEB) is introduced to bolster vessel continuity and effectively fortify delicate vessels by integrating oriented feature enhancement through Gabor convolution. Subsequently, a Receptive Field Pyramid Module (RPM) is proposed to supplant the escalation of scale count in the Gabor filter bank for vessel alignment, also serving as feature fusion to enhance the network's comprehensive vessel discernment. In comparison to U-Net, our model boasts fewer parameters and surpasses in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, and F1 score on the DRIVE dataset by 3.58%, 0.34%, and 2.29%, respectively. Our model showcases stellar performance across three public datasets: DRIVE, STARE, and CHASE_DB1, with sensitivity values of 0.8172, 0.8126, and 0.8540 and accuracy figures of 0.9708, 0.9725, and 0.9757, respectively. The analysis on three datasets reveals that our model demonstrates distinct strengths in AUC and Se as a result of integrating GMEA, which comprises RPM and DGEB, into U-shaped networks. However, it does not reduce overall accuracy to improve the model's ability to perceive weak contrast and small blood vessels. While maintaining superior Acc, our model also demonstrates advancements in Sp and F1 score, indicating a balanced progression in multiple evaluation metrics.

Gabor filter-based statistical features for ADHD detection.

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuropsychological disorder that occurs in children and is characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Early and accurate diagnosis of ADHD is very important for effective intervention. The aim of this study is to develop a computer-aided approach to detecting ADHD using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Specifically, we explore a Gabor filter-based statistical features approach for the classification of EEG signals into ADHD and healthy control (HC). The EEG signal is processed by a bank of Gabor filters to obtain narrow-band signals. Subsequently, a set of statistical features is extracted. The computed features are then subjected to feature selection. Finally, the obtained feature vector is given to a classifier to detect ADHD and HC. Our approach achieves the highest classification accuracy of 96.4% on a publicly available dataset. Furthermore, our approach demonstrates better classification accuracy than the existing methods.

Background Subtraction for Dynamic Scenes Using Gabor Filter Bank and Statistical Moments

This paper introduces a novel background subtraction method that utilizes texture-level analysis based on the Gabor filter bank and statistical moments. The method addresses the challenge of accurately detecting moving objects that exhibit similar color intensity variability or texture to the surrounding environment, which conventional methods struggle to handle effectively. The proposed method accurately distinguishes between foreground and background objects by capturing different frequency components using the Gabor filter bank and quantifying the texture level through statistical moments. Extensive experimental evaluations use datasets featuring varying lighting conditions, uniform and non-uniform textures, shadows, and dynamic backgrounds. The performance of the proposed method is compared against other existing methods using metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, and false positive rate. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other methods in accuracy and robustness. It effectively handles scenarios with complex backgrounds, lighting changes, and objects that exhibit similar texture or color intensity as the background. Our method retains object structure while minimizing false detections and noise. This paper provides valuable insights into computer vision and object detection, offering a promising solution for accurate foreground detection in various applications such as video surveillance and motion tracking.

A full reference quality assessment method with fused monocular and binocular features for stereo images.

Aiming to automatically monitor and improve stereoscopic image and video processing systems, stereoscopic image quality assessment approaches are becoming more and more important as 3D technology gains popularity. We propose a full-reference stereoscopic image quality assessment method that incorporate monocular and binocular features based on binocular competition and binocular integration. To start, we create a three-channel RGB fused view by fusing Gabor filter bank responses and disparity maps. Then, using the monocular view and the RGB fusion view, respectively, we extract monocular and binocular features. To alter the local features in the binocular features, we simultaneously estimate the saliency of the RGB fusion image. Finally, the monocular and binocular quality scores are calculated based on the monocular and binocular features, and the quality scores of the stereo image prediction are obtained by fusion. Performance testing in the LIVE 3D IQA database Phase I and Phase II. The results of the proposed method are compared with newer methods. The experimental results show good consistency and robustness.

Novel MobileNet based Multipath Convolutional Neural Network for defect detection in fabrics

Automatic fabric defect detection and classification is the most important process in the textile industry to ensure the fabric quality. In the existing systems, a learning based method is used for detecting defects in plain weave fabrics. In this paper, a novel MobileNet based Multipath Convolutional Neural Network (MMPCNN) architecture is proposed for detection and classification of simple and complex patterned fabric defects. In the proposed MMPCNN architecture, MobileNet model is used in the first path. In this, Gabor filter bank is used instead of conventional filters in the first convolution layer. A simple convolutional neural network architecture with Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features as an input is used in the second path of the MMPCNN architecture. Gabor filters are more useful for analyzing the texture with different orientations and scales. Each Gabor filter parameter has its own impact on analyzing the texture and extracting the information from the texture. Therefore, in this paper, the use of Gabor filter parameters in MMPCNN architecture is analyzed. The proposed model is experimented on the TILDA textile image database and it is able to achieve 100% accuracy with reduced trainable parameters for fabric defect detection and classification.

Smart fabric inspection using Mimosa pudica plant

Fabric quality governing and defect detection are playing a crucial role in the textile industry with the development of high customer demand in the fashion market. This work presents fabric defect detection using the sensitive plant segmentation algorithm (SPSA) which, is developed with the sensitive behaviour of the plant biologically named “Mimosa pudica”i. This method consists of two stages. The first stage enhances the contrast of the defective fabric image and the second stage segments the fabric defects with aid of SPSA. The proposed work SPSA is developed for defective pixels identification in both uniform and non-uniform patterns of fabrics. In this work, SPSA has been done by checking with devised condition, correlation and error probability. Every pixel will be checked with the developed algorithm, to get marked either defective or non-defective pixels. The proposed SPSA has been tested on the different types of fabric defect databases and shows a prodigious performance over existing methods like the Differential evolution based optimal Gabor filter model (DEOGF), Gabor filter bank (GFB), Adaptive sparse representation-based detection model (ASR) and Fourier and wavelet shrinkage (FWR).

Crevasse density, orientation and temporal variability at Narsap Sermia, Greenland.

Mass loss from iceberg calving at marine-terminating glaciers is one of the largest and most poorly constrained contributors to sea-level rise. However, our understanding of the processes controlling ice fracturing and crevasse evolution is incomplete. Here, we use Gabor filter banks to automatically map crevasse density and orientation through time on a ~150 km2 terminus region of Narsap Sermia, an outlet glacier of the southwest Greenland ice sheet. We find that Narsap Sermia is dominated by transverse (flow-perpendicular) crevasses near the ice front and longitudinal (flow-aligned) crevasses across its central region. Measured crevasse orientation varies on sub-annual timescales by more than 45 in response to seasonal velocity changes, and also on multi-annual timescales in response to broader dynamic changes and glacier retreat. Our results show a gradual up-glacier propagation of the zone of flow-transverse crevassing coincident with frontal retreat and acceleration occurring in 2020/21, in addition to sub-annual crevasse changes primarily in transition zones between longitudinal to transverse crevasse orientation. This provides new insight into the dynamics of crevassing at large marine-terminating glaciers and a potential approach for the rapid identification of glacier dynamic change from a single pair of satellite images.

Grading the Severity of Damage to the Perijunctional Actomyosin Ring and Zonula Occludens-1 of the Corneal Endothelium by Ensemble Learning Methods.

Purpose: In many epithelia, including the corneal endothelium, intracellular/extracellular stresses break down the perijunctional actomyosin ring (PAMR) and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) at the apical junctions. This study aims to grade the severity of damage to PAMR and ZO-1 through machine learning. Methods: Immunocytochemical images of PAMR and ZO-1 were drawn from recent studies on the corneal endothelium subjected to hypothermia and oxidative stress. The images were analyzed for their morphological (e.g., Hu moments) and textural features (based on gray-level co-occurrence matrix [GLCM] and Gabor filters). The extracted features were ranked by SHapley analysis and analysis of variance. Then top features were used to grade the severity of damage using a suite of ensemble classifiers, including random forest, bagging classifier (BC), AdaBoost, extreme gradient boosting, and stacking classifier. Results: A partial set of features from GLCM, along with Hu moments and the number of hexagons, enabled the classification of damage to PAMR into Control, Mild, Moderate, and Severe with the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) = 0.92 and F1 score = 0.77 with BC. In contrast, a bank of Gabor filters provided a partial set of features that could be combined with Hu moments, branch length, and sharpness for the classification of ZO-1 images into four levels with AUC = 0.95 and F1 score of 0.8 with BC. Conclusions: We have developed a workflow that enables the stratification of damage to PAMR and ZO-1. The approach can be applied to similar data during drug discovery or pathophysiological studies of epithelia.

Automated diagnosis of COVID stages using texture‐based Gabor features in variational mode decomposition from CT images

AbstractCOVID‐19 is a deadly and fast‐spreading disease that makes early death by affecting human organs, primarily the lungs. The detection of COVID in the early stages is crucial as it may help restrict the spread of the progress. The traditional and trending tools are manual, time‐inefficient, and less accurate. Hence, an automated diagnosis of COVID is needed to detect COVID in the early stages. Recently, several methods for exploiting computed tomography (CT) scan pictures to detect COVID have been developed; however, none are effective in detecting COVID at the preliminary phase. We propose a method based on two‐dimensional variational mode decomposition in this work. This proposed approach decomposes pre‐processed CT scan pictures into sub‐bands. The texture‐based Gabor filter bank extracts the relevant features, and the student's t‐value is used to recognize robust traits. After that, linear discriminative analysis (LDA) reduces the dimensionality of features and provides ranks for robust features. Only the first 14 LDA features are qualified for classification. Finally, the least square‐ support vector machine (SVM) (radial basis function) classifier distinguishes between COVID and non‐COVID CT lung images. The results of the trial showed that our model outperformed cutting‐edge methods for COVID classification. Using tenfold cross‐validation, this model achieved an improved classification accuracy of 93.96%, a specificity of 95.59%, and an F1 score of 93%. To validate our proposed methodology, we conducted different relative experiments with deep learning and traditional machine learning‐based models like random forest, K‐nearest neighbor, SVM, convolutional neural network, and recurrent neural network. The proposed model is ready to help radiologists identify diseases daily.

Demarcating Z-line and Gastric Folds Boundary Based on the Segmentation of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter Images.

The endoscopic diagnosis of pathological changes in the gastroesophageal junction including esophagitis and Barrett's mucosa is based on the visual detection of two boundaries: mucosal color change between esophagus and stomach, and top endpoint of gastric folds. The presence and pattern of mucosal breaks in the gastroesophageal mucosal junction (Z line) classify esophagitis in patients and the distance between the two boundaries points to the possible columnar lined epithelium. Since visual detection may suffer from intra- and interobserver variability, our objective was to define the boundaries automatically based on image processing algorithms, which may enable us to measure the detentions of changes in future studies. To demarcate the Z-line, first the artifacts of endoscopy images are eliminated. In the second step, using SUSAN edge detector, Mahalanobis distance criteria, and Gabor filter bank, an initial contour is estimated for the Z-line. Using region-based active contours, this initial contour converges to the Z-line. Finally, by applying morphological operators and Gabor Filter Bank to the region inside of the Z-line, gastric folds are segmented. To evaluate the results, a database consisting of 50 images and their ground truths were collected. The average dice coefficient and mean square error of Z-line segmentation were 0.93 and 3.3, respectively. Furthermore, the average boundary distance criteria are 12.3 pixels. In addition, two other criteria that compare the segmentation of folds with several ground truths, i.e., Sweet-Spot Coverage and Jaccard Index for Golden Standard, are 0.90 and 0.84, respectively. Considering the results, automatic segmentation of Z-line and gastric folds are matched to the ground truths with appropriate accuracy.

X-ray image analysis for osteoporosis diagnosis: From shallow to deep analysis

Recently, automated disease diagnosis based on medical images has become an integral component of digital pathology packages. Texture analysis is commonly used to address this issue, particularly in the context of estimating the osteoporosis progression in bone samples. Most research in this context uses handcrafted methods to directly extract bones image features despite the substantial correlation between sick and healthy bones, which explains the limited results. In this work, the handcrafted feature extraction method (e.g. HOG and/or LPQ) will be applied to a set of descriptors obtained from a deep analysis of bone texture images using Gabor's filter bank. In addition, the classifier automatically adjusts the Gabor filters settings, using the bat-inspired algorithm based optimization, to achieve deep analysis behavior and optimal performance. Using a typically osteoporosis database, our experimental results reveal a significant improvement over the state-of-the-art deep/handcrafted techniques, resulting in an excellent performance of 89.66% for osteoporosis diagnosis.

A new three-dimensional elastography using phase based shifted Fourier transform

Elastography is an imaging technique with the ability to determine low quantities of some of the mechanical properties of tissues. The aim of our research is to design a new 3D algorithm using the Shifted Fourier Transform (SFT) to perform a quasi-static elastography. Our innovative idea is implementation of a 3D convolution instead of using three 2D convulsions. At first, we collected the raw data from Abaqus engineering software in the form of breast tissue with a coefficient of elasticity of healthy tissue and tumor tissue with a coefficient of elasticity of tumor tissue. The primary raw data consists of a number of points with x, y and z specified for tumor and healthy breast tissue. At this step, we simulated the displacements in directions of x, y and z at each point of the prescribed tissues for 15 ​mm displacement of probe in –Y direction then we collected 1831 points for tumor and 4186 points for breast before and after pressure. After applying a novel reconstruction algorithm, we convolved all images with the 3D Gabor filters to obtain phases, represented displacements of the breast and tumor images for before and after pressure. To reach this goal, we designed a Gabor filter bank based on the dimensions of the input images in different scales, directions, and deviations. Using the 3D SFT, we calculated the displacements of the breast and tumor tissues followed by 3D elastogram representation of the images. Finally, we implemented a 2D analysis of SFT in order to investigate validation of the 3D SFT. In 2D algorithm, we used three two-dimensional convulsions in XY, YZ and XZ planes. The results obtained from the small displacements marked by circles, confirmed the accuracy of the 3D SFT algorithm. These areas of interest are the tumor areas in the 2D analysis.

Comparison and Review of Face Recognition Methods Based on Gabor and Boosting Algorithms

The face plays an essential role in identifying people and showing their emotions in society. The human ability to recognize faces is remarkable. But face recognition is a fundamental problem in many computer programs. Due to the inherent complexities of the face and the many changes in its features, different algorithms for face recognition have been introduced in the last 20 years. Face recognition methods that are based on the structure of the face are unsupervised methods that produce good results compared to the linear changes that occur in the image. In this article, the Gabor algorithm, which is the origin of face recognition algorithms, has been described. Over the past decade, most of the research in the area of pattern classification has emphasized the use of the Gabor filter bank for extracting features. Because the Gabor algorithm has shortcomings, researchers have introduced a new method that is a combination of Gabor and PCA. After the introduction of the Gabor method, more complete and accurate algorithms have been introduced, such as Boosting algorithms, which we have briefly explained in this article. Also, here are the results of the comparison made by the researchers between Boosting and Gabor algorithms. The results show that Boosting-based algorithms have performed better compared to Gabor-based algorithms.

Quantitative Analysis of Breast Cancer NACT Response on DCE-MRI Using Gabor Filter Derived Radiomic Features

In this work, an attempt has been made to quantify the treatment response due to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NACT) on the publicly available QIN-Breast of TCIA database (N = 25) using Gabor filter derived radiomic features. The Gabor filter bank is constructed using 5 different scales and 7 different orientations. Different radiomic features were extracted from Gabor filtered Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance images (DCE-MRI) of patients having 3 different visits (Visit 1: before, Visit 2: after 1st cycle, and Visit 3: the last cycle of NACT). The extracted radiomic features were analyzed statistically and Area Under Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUROC) has been calculated. Results show that the Gabor derived radiomic features could differentiate the pathological differences among all three visits. Energy has shown a significant difference between all the three orientations particularly between Visits 2 & 3. However, Entropy from λ=2 and θ=300 between Visit 2 & 3, Skewness from λ=2 and θ=1200 between Visit 1 & 3 could differentiate the treatment response with high statistical significance of p=0.006 and 0.001 respectively. From the ROC analysis, the better predictors were Short Run Emphasis (SRE), Short Zone Emphasis (SZE), and Energy between Visit 1 & 3 by achieving an AUROC of 76.38%, 75.16%, and 71.10% respectively. Further, the results suggest that the radiomic features are capable of quantitatively compare the breast NACT prognosis that varies across multi-oriented Gabor filters.

Distinguishing shadows from surface boundaries using local achromatic cues.

In order to accurately parse the visual scene into distinct surfaces, it is essential to determine whether a local luminance edge is caused by a boundary between two surfaces or a shadow cast across a single surface. Previous studies have demonstrated that local chromatic cues may help to distinguish edges caused by shadows from those caused by surface boundaries, but the information potentially available in local achromatic cues like contrast, texture, and penumbral blur remains poorly understood. In this study, we develop and analyze a large database of hand-labeled achromatic shadow edges to better understand what image properties distinguish them from occlusion edges. We find that both the highest contrast as well as the lowest contrast edges are more likely to be occlusions than shadows, extending previous observations based on a more limited image set. We also find that contrast cues alone can reliably distinguish the two edge categories with nearly 70% accuracy at 40x40 resolution. Logistic regression on a Gabor Filter bank (GFB) modeling a population of V1 simple cells separates the categories with nearly 80% accuracy, and furthermore exhibits tuning to penumbral blur. A Filter-Rectify Filter (FRF) style neural network extending the GFB model performed at better than 80% accuracy, and exhibited blur tuning and greater sensitivity to texture differences. We compare human performance on our edge classification task to that of the FRF and GFB models, finding the best human observers attaining the same performance as the machine classifiers. Several analyses demonstrate both classifiers exhibit significant positive correlation with human behavior, although we find a slightly better agreement on an image-by-image basis between human performance and the FRF model than the GFB model, suggesting an important role for texture.

Research on Multichannel 3D Oil Painting Style Rendering Model Based on 3DS Max

People are becoming less comfortable in content as a form of data throughout this period of growing scientific and technological advancements. Oil painting also was challenged in unprecedented ways by modern image processing techniques as person’s primary source of data, and it had a tremendous effect on the domain of artistic creativity. Therefore, we present an upgraded convolutional neural network (U-CNN) for the enhancement of style rendering model addressing the aforementioned challenges. Initially, the datasets are gathered that are denoised and enhanced in the preprocessing stage to eliminate noise and improve the quality of the data. Gabor filter bank (GFB) is employed in the feature extraction stage to extract several features from the normalized data. For the application of style rendering model, the proposed approach is utilized. Moreover, through applying the 3DS MAX model, the three-dimensional (3-D) oil painting is generated. Finally, the performance of the proposed approach is examined and compared with other existing approaches to obtain the proposed approach with the greatest effectiveness. The findings are depicted in chart form by employing the origin tool.

A Hybrid Approach to Multimodal Biometric Recognition Based on Feature-level Fusion of Face, Two Irises, and Both Thumbprints.

Background:The most significant motivations for designing multi-biometric systems are high-accuracy recognition, high-security assurances as well as overcoming the limitations like non-universality, noisy sensor data, and large intra-user variations. Therefore, choosing data for fusion is of high significance for the design of a multimodal biometric system. The feature vectors contain richer information than the scores, decisions and even raw data, thereby making feature-level fusion more effective than other levels.Method:In the proposed method, kernel is used for fusion in feature space. First, the face features are extracted using kernel-based methods, the features of both right and left irises are extracted using Hough Transform and Daugman algorithm methods, and the features of both thumb prints are extracted using the Gabor filter bank. Second, after normalization operations, we use kernel methods to map the feature vectors to a kernel Hilbert space where non-linear relations are shown as linear for the purpose of compatibility of feature spaces. Then, dimensionality reduction algorithms are used to the fusion of the feature vectors extracted from fingerprints, irises and the face. since the proposed system uses face, both right 7and left irises and right and left thumbprints, it is hybrid multi-biometric system. We c8arried out the tests on seven databases.Results:Our results show that the hybrid multimodal template, while being secure against spoof attacks and making the system robust, can use the dimensionality of only 15 features to increase the accuracy of a hybrid multimodal biometric system to 100%, which shows a significant improvement compared with uni-biometric and other multimodal systems.Conclusion:The proposed method can be used to search large databases. Consequently, a large database of a secure multimodal template could be correctly differentiated based on the corresponding class of a test sample without any consistency error.

Detection of mitotic HEp-2 cell images: role of feature representation and classification framework under class skew.

We propose and analyze a framework to detect and identify the mitotic type staining patterns among different non-mitotic (interphase) patterns on HEp-2 cell substrate specimen images. This is considered as a principal task in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of the autoimmune disorders. Due to the rare appearance of mitotic patterns in whole slide/specimen images, the sample skew between mitotic and non-mitotic patterns is an important consideration.We suggest to apply some effective samples skew balancing strategies for the task of classification between mitotic v/s interphase patterns. Another aspect of this study is to consider the morphology and texture-based differences between both the classes that can be incorporated through effective morphology and texture-based descriptors, including the Gabor and LM (Leung-Malik) filter banks and also through some contemporary filter banks derived from convolutional neural networks (CNN).The proposed framework is evaluated on a public dataset and we demonstrate good performance (0.99 or 1 Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) in many cases), across various experiments. The study also presents a comparison between hand-engineered and CNN-based feature representation, along with the comparisons with state-of-the-art approaches. Hence, the framework proves to be a good solution for the mentioned skewed classification problem.

A Hybrid Moth-Flame Optimization Technique for Feature Selection in Brain Image Classification and Image Denoising by Improved Log Gabor Filter

In brain image classification, feature set reduction is essential to build an optimised feature subset that will lead to precise measurement. In this paper, an improved technique for feature selection by Moth Flame Optimization with Opposition Based Learning (OBL) and Simulated Annealing (OB-MFOSA) is proposed. The OBL strategy is used to create the optimum initial solution, while Simulated Annealing improves the search space. The proposed OB-MFOSA shows improved performance than other well-known existing algorithms by eliminating getting stuck in the local optima. By using this hybrid moth flame optimization, the feature set is reduced to 40%. Also, image denoising is performed by Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) with an improved Log Gabor filtering technique. The filter bank of Log Gabor filter bank is tuned by Genetic Algorithm. The selected features from hybrid MFO algorithm are classified using SVM classifier. Experiments reveal that this hybrid algorithm shows accurate classification outputs than the previous methods.
