This repository aims to publish a sEMG database for hand gesture recongnition, which is suitable for intra-session, inter-session, inter-day and inter-subject tests. Six subjects were involved in data collection on ten days, and two sessions a day with the interval of half an hour. In each session, one trial (10 secondes) for each geature was conducted. The electrode sleeve did not reweared between two sessions in a day. The utilised sEMG device was customised by the Intelligent System and Biomedical Robotics Group, which was discussed in [1]. 

Access the dataset for images of typical diabetic retinopathy lesions and also normal retinal structures annotated at a pixel level, focused on an Indian population. This dataset provides information on the disease severity of diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic macular edema for each image.

The published sEMG database was captured by the Intelligent System and Biomedical Robotics Group at University of Portsmouth, leaded by Prof. Honghai Liu.

Six subjects were volunteered for data capturing, and the sEMG data were captured in ten separate days. We manually separated the whole database into two parts: training dataset (the first 7 days) and testing dataset(the last 3 days). For each subject, two folders exist, one for training and the other for test. 

TB (Tuberculosis) is a contagious disease which is caused by a bacterium named Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Screening is done to confirm the presence of TB using different screening techniques available i.e. Chest X-ray, Microscopy, Gene Xpert and Culture etc. Medical image processing is a rapidly growing field of image processing that is used to automate different medical procedures. In this research we have designed two automated systems for the screening of TB patients. A sample of 50 images for microscopy slides and chest X-ray radiographs were taken.
