AI-POWERED ANALYSIS

Revolutionizing Medical Image Classification with Hybrid Gabor Deep Learning

This paper introduces a lightweight hybrid model combining a Gabor filter bank front-end with compact neural networks for efficient medical image feature extraction and classification. It achieves competitive accuracy with significantly reduced computational cost and faster inference times compared to traditional deep learning models, making it ideal for resource-constrained environments.

Executive Impact: Drive Efficiency & Innovation

Our hybrid Gabor deep learning model offers a game-changing solution for medical image analysis, providing up to 15x faster inference and 4-6x faster training while using fewer parameters (around 0.34M) and FLOPs (around 0.60 GFLOPs) than MobileNetV2 and EfficientNetB0. This translates to substantial cost savings and accelerated diagnostic capabilities for healthcare providers, particularly in settings with limited computational resources or large image volumes. The model maintains high accuracy, demonstrated across diverse medical datasets (MRI, X-ray, dermatoscopic, microscopic, CT), ensuring reliable and efficient decision-making in clinical applications.
