A Blockchain-Based Hybrid Hunger Game Search Archimedes Optimization Enabled Deep Learning for Multiclass Plant Disease Detection Using Leaf Images Yogesh Manohar Gajmal, Arvind M. Jagtap, Kiran Dhanaji Kale, Jawahar Sambhaji Gawade, Pranav More International Journal of Image and Graphics, 2026 Plants are susceptible to a wide range of diseases when they are growing. One of the crucial difficulties in agriculture is the earlier finding of plant diseases. If the diseases are not detected at the beginning, it may have an undesirable effect on the entire production. To avoid these issues, a blockchain-based hybrid optimized deep learning (DL) approach is devised in this work. The plant leaf images are stored in the blockchain network and the noise level of the images is minimized by the Kalman filter. In image segmentation, the Deep Joint segmentation technique is employed to segment the disease-affected portion of the image. The position and color augmentation are carried out to enhance the size and clarity of the image. Moreover, the statistical and speeded-up robust features (SURF) are extracted in the feature extraction stage. In the first level classification process, the developed hunger game search Archimedes optimization (HGSAO) enabled SpinalNet is employed for classifying the plant type and the second level classification is carried out for multiclass disease identification using the proposed HGSAO optimized SpinalNet. Moreover, the proposed HGSAO with SpinalNet outperformed the accuracy of 0.972, True positive rate (TPR) of 0.963, true negative rate (TNR) of 0.951, false negative rate (FNR) of 0.936 and false positive rate (FPR) of 0. 942.
AI-Driven Visual Navigation for Smart Lab Tour Guide Robot Vinod Chandrakant Todkari, Avinash P. Kaldate, Shrikrishna Kolhar, Arvind Jagtap, Nilesh P. Sable Journal Europeen Des Systemes Automatises, 2025 A self-contained guidance system is required in robotics and automation laboratories for autonomous navigation purposes.In laboratory conditions where conditions are constantly changing, regular fixed-path solutions will not work.In this paper, a comprehensive framework for a tour guide robot is developed.An AI-driven visual navigation system is used to guide the robot.Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is implemented instead of the traditional line following approach.Deep learning-based obstacle detection is optimized for robot path planning.ORB-SLAM2 (monocular version) is considered for real-time localization and mapping.A specific data set is taken from the laboratory for fine-tuning of YOLOv5s for dynamic obstacle detection.The algorithm is extended for real-time path planning to avoid obstacles in the robot's path.Raspberry Pi 4 and Arduino Uno are used for the development of the embedded system so that it compares both for practical deployment feasibility.In this research, a 40% reduction in tour completion time and a 95% obstacle avoidance success rate are achieved.This investigation has achieved an average path deviation accuracy of 1.1 cm.A sensor fusion architecture is used to combine visual SLAM feature with deep learning detection for robust navigation.This research considers and impacts the architecture contrasts on hardware.Extensive performance characteristics are studied under different environmental conditions.This proposed AI-driven robot navigation in lab operations has set a new benchmark for intelligent robotics in academia and the public sector.

Predictive Modelling of Bone Mineral Density: An ANN and Regression-based Approach Anurag Ashokkumar Nema, Gulab Dattrao Siraskar, Arvind Jagtap, Puja Gholap, Kirti Wanjale, et al. Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research, 2025 In recent years, the development of predictive models using Multi-Variable Regression (MVR) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) has become a focal point in health research, particularly in predicting Bone Mineral Density (BMD) for the early detection of osteoporosis. This study compares the performance of MVR and ANN models using a clinical dataset comprising patient attributes such as age, weight, height, and BMD. The primary objective is to predict BMD values of the femur bone and evaluate the potential risks of osteoporosis. ANN demonstrated superior predictive accuracy with a correlation coefficient (R²) of 0.8823 compared to 0.6087 for MVR, highlighting its capability to capture data linearity and complex patterns effectively. The study used filtered and validated datasets, including results from BMD tests on two dry intact femurs, sourced from Kaggle. Performance metrics such as regression accuracy and Mean Square Error (MSE) were calculated, showing that ANN with a hidden layer of 12 neurons provided the best results. The findings indicate that ANN not only outperforms MVR in predictive accuracy but also avoids the need for experiments on real human femurs, providing a non-invasive, data-driven alternative for medical diagnostics. A secondary goal was to develop a practical model for clinical use in predicting bone density. The study also explores the integration of ANN outputs with Genetic Algorithms (GA) to optimize the prediction process. This hybrid strategy reduces the number of simulations and computation time, offering a robust framework for global optimization. The combination of ANN and GA demonstrates the potential to enhance diagnostic precision and streamline decision-making processes in orthopedic and medical technology. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the applicability of ANN for accurate BMD predictions, paving the way for advanced diagnostic tools in healthcare. Future research could focus on expanding datasets and exploring hybrid optimization techniques to further improve prediction accuracy and clinical utility.
Plant disorder recognition and classification with segmentation Aarti P. Pimpalkar, Arvind Jagtap Progressive Computational Intelligence Information Technology and Networking, 2025 Plant diseases affect crop yield and food security, posing a serious threat to global agriculture. Timely identification and acurate classification are necessary for the optimal management of many illnesses. This research presents a novel method for segmentation-based Improved Balanced Iterative Reducing & Clustering utilising Hierarchies (BIRCH)-based plant disease detection & classification. Plant pictures are divided into discrete parts using the Modified BIRCH algorithm, which helps to distinguish between healthy and sick areas. In order to precisely detect and categorize the plant illnesses, a classification model then undergoes training on the segmented regions. The suggested strategy is effective in obtaining excellent precision and reliability for plant disease detection as well as classification tasks, as shown by the experimental findings. Large-scale plant image processing is made efficient while segmentation quality is maintained thanks to using modified BIRCH based segmentation. The development of automatic plant disease detection systems is facilitated by this research, which improves agricultural output by allowing prompt disease control actions.
Plant Disease Detection: PyramidNet-ICNN Architecture With Modified BIRCH Segmentation Aarti P. Pimpalkar, Arvind M. Jagtap Journal of Phytopathology, 2025 Agriculture stands as the primary occupation in India, yet it faces a substantial annual loss of 35% in crop productivity due to plant diseases. These diseases pose a significant task in the sector of agriculture, emphasising the critical need for their automatic identification to efficiently monitor plant health. The conventional technique of analysis by specialists in laboratories is costly and time‐consuming, even though the signs of the majority of diseases appear in plant leaves. Recognising the vital importance of early issue identification, this research proposes a novel hybrid Architecture, a hybrid of PyramidNet and ICNN models (Py‐ICNN) for plant disease detection and classification with an Improved BIRCH (I‐BIRCH) segmentation model, which uses an image as input. This framework follows a systematic approach, comprising preprocessing, segmentation, extraction of features and detection and classification of diseases. Using median and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalisation (CLAHE) filtering, the input image first undergoes enhanced preprocessing. The preprocessed outcome is then subjected to I‐Balanced Iterative Reducing and Clustering Using Hierarchies (BIRCH) segmentation. Then, features including IPHOG, multi‐texton features and MBP‐based features are extracted from the segmented image. These extracted features are then individually processed using PyramidNet and improved convolutional neural network (ICNN) to detect and classify the plant disease. Furthermore, the proposed Py‐ICNN model is evaluated and compared with traditional methods. The findings demonstrate that the Py‐ICNN framework obtained an accuracy of 93.70% and a specificity of 95.82%. These results demonstrate how well the Py‐ICNN approach detects and classifies plant diseases.
