Image preprocessing is a method to transform raw image data into clean image data. The objective of preprocessing is to improve the image data by suppressing undesired distortions. Enhancement of some image features which are relevant for further processing of image and analysis task is also done in preprocessing. Screening and diagnosis of various eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, Choroidal Neovascularization(CNV), DRUSEN, etc. are possible using digital retinal images. This paper aims to provide a better understanding and knowledge of the computer algorithms used for retinal image preprocessing. In this paper, various image preprocessing techniques are incorporated such as color correction, color space selection, noise reduction, and contrast enhancement on retinal images. Retinal blood vessels are better seen in Green color space instead of Red or Blue color space. Noise reduction through Block matching and 3D(BM3D) techniques show a significant result as compared to Total Variation Filter (TVF) and Bilateral Filter (BLF). Contrast enhancement through Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) outperforms Global Equalization (GE) or Adaptive Histogram Equalization (AHE). Evaluation parameters such as Mean square error, Peak Signal Noise ratio, Structured similarity index measures, and Normalized root mean square error values for BM3D noise filtering are 0.0029, 25.3370, 0.6839 and 0.0998 respectively which shows that BM3D outperforms the others.

With the widespread adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, botnet attacks have become the most prevalent cyberattack. In order to combat botnet attacks, there has been a considerable amount of research on botnet attacks in IoT ecosystems by graph-based machine learning (GML). The majority of GML models are vulnerable to adversarial attacks (ADAs). These ADAs were created to assess the robustness of existing ML-based security solutions. In this letter, we present a novel adversarial botnet attack (ADBA) that modifies the graph data structure using genetic algorithms (GAs) to trick the graph-based botnet attack detection system. According to the experiment results and comparative analysis, the proposed ADBA can be executed on resource-constrained IoT nodes. It offers a substantial performance gain of 2.15 s, 52 kb, 92 817 mJ, 97.8%, and 27.74%–41.82% over other approaches in term of Computing Time (CT), Memory Usage (MU), Energy Usage (EU), Attack Success Rate (ASR) and Accuracy (ACC) metrics, respectively.

With the continuous improvement of people's mental pressure and life pace, people's study and life pressure would increase, leading to the increase of people's depression. Depression is a mental illness, a chronic mental illness that is inconsistent with the patient's physical condition. In recent years, as people know more and more about depression, and they have more and more research on depression, many research scholars have provided new ideas for the treatment of depression, and this paper takes this as the research direction and research basis. This paper introduces the background of EEG (electroencephalogram, EEG) and evoked potential and artificial intelligence (Artificial intelligence, AI) methods, and then analyzes the patients with depression based on AI, and summarizes the application of electronics. The concept analysis of depression, EEG and evoked potential is put forward. At the end of the article, the application of machine learning in depression is studied. At the same time, with the continuous development of machine learning in artificial intelligence, the EEG and evoked potential related work in patients with depression are also facing new opportunities and challenges.

The real-time sports and physical sign data display of various intelligent sports equipment and software can provide help for professional athletes to formulate sports strategies. However, for those who do not have any special knowledge, visual data cannot help them to make correct sports plans. Based on the above problems, this paper designed and implemented a cloud computing platform that can collect the user's movement and physical sign information, so as to provide personalized sports prescription service for them. In the performance test of the platform, the experimental results showed that the 50% line response time value and 90% line response time value were the maximum when the number of test threads reaches 1000 and 900, and the maximum value was 2896 and 3136 ms respectively; when the number of test threads was 200, the minimum value was 86 and 132 ms. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop and apply the sports health CMP based on the Internet of Things (IoT) technology.

At present, the living habits of college students are relatively poor, and the amount of exercise is reduced, leading to their physical fitness getting worse and worse. Therefore, people began to study the physical health monitoring of college students. Machine learning and high-performance computing in medical applications provide technical support for intelligent medical technology. With the rapid development of computer network, human beings have entered the information and digital era, and sports health big data has become more and more popular. The combination of sports health big data and student physical health monitoring technology, in a sense, can realize automatic data processing through intelligent medical and sports health database and other information technologies, thus promoting the popularization of health monitoring technology. However, the current health monitoring equipment has many problems, such as complex collection, low accuracy and limited processing of health data. To solve this problem, this paper developed an Application (APP) based on sports health big data technology that can monitor multiple vital signs such as human heart rate and body temperature, and analyze the physical health of college students, so that college students can easily understand their health status in daily life, so as to promote the healthy development of students' physique and encourage them to actively participate in physical exercise. The experiment proved that, in the heart rate monitoring, when the speed is 6 km/h, the error rate of the college students' physical health monitoring APP designed in this paper is 8.15%. The average accuracy rate of student steps monitoring is 97.12%. This showed the accuracy and availability of the APP's monitoring function for human vital signs. It has certain application value and significance to help students improve their physical quality.
目前,大学生的生活习惯相对较差,运动量减少,导致体质越来越差。因此,人们开始研究大学生体质健康监测。机器学习和高性能计算在医疗领域的应用为智能医疗技术提供了技术支持。随着计算机网络的飞速发展,人类进入了信息化、数字化时代,运动健康大数据也越来越受到人们的青睐。体育健康大数据与学生体质健康监测技术的结合,从某种意义上讲,可以通过智能医疗、体育健康数据库等信息技术实现数据的自动处理,从而推动健康监测技术的普及。然而,目前的健康监测设备存在采集复杂、准确率低、健康数据处理受限等诸多问题。为解决这一问题,本文开发了一款基于运动健康大数据技术的应用程序(APP),可以监测人体心率、体温等多种生命体征,分析大学生的体质健康状况,使大学生在日常生活中可以方便地了解自己的健康状况,从而促进学生体质的健康发展,鼓励学生积极参加体育锻炼。实验证明,在心率监测中,当速度为 6 km/h 时,本文设计的大学生体质健康监测 APP 的误差率为 8.15%。学生步数监测的平均准确率为 97.12%。这表明该APP对人体生命体征监测功能的准确性和可用性。对于帮助大学生提高身体素质具有一定的应用价值和意义。
