Localization of Dengue Virus Likelihood Using Image Processing Technique

The Aedes mosquito, found in tropical areas, transmits, and causes dengue fever. The spread of the dengue fever virus from an infected Aedes mosquito bite typically takes between three and fifteen days to manifest itself clinically as dengue fever symptoms. Early and automated detection of this illness will reduce the occurrence of outbreaks and facilitate the digitization of the system. Our primary objective is to identify regions at high risk for dengue fever using limited image data through the utilization of sophisticated machine learning and image processing methods. This work showcases the application of transfer learning algorithms for the timely identification of regions at risk for dengue mosquito infestation, particularly in situations where obtaining early data on dengue outbreaks is challenging. The experiments included images of 2150 dengue-positive data sets and 1440 dengue-negative data sets. We used AI and image classifiers Yolo V4 Tin, Tensor Flow, Google Colab, etc. for the training data set, and the system makes predictions with a 99.63% accuracy rate. Our system has some unique attributes; it not only detects the percentage of dengue probability but also the specific dengue-prone location on the submitted image.
