This paper employs a deep learning method based on computer vision to detect the surface defects on magnetic tiles in order to replace manual inspection and increase productivity. Considering the real-time requirements of the industrial site, three designed one-stage object detection networks of different depth are compared on our Inner-R surface dataset of magnetic tiles. The whole image is input into the networks which regard the object detection as a regression problem and output the value of class probability and position coordinate of the object. This approach can detect more than one defects on the same image as well as the location of defects which provides advantages to find the number of defects per class and improve the manufacturing process. As the result shows, the YOLOv3 network is the most applicable one in this magnetic tile surface defect detection problem and the detection time is less than 23 ms, which is an eye-catching result.","PeriodicalId":117219,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117128100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Helmholtz Coils are a special arrangement of loops such that when an electric current is applied to them, the resultant magnetic field generated between the coils is extremely uniform. Coils configured in this way are also used for applying or measuring fields and are useful for experiments and calibration where a known ambient magnetic field is required. Helmholtz coils play an important role to acquire magnetic resonance images with maintaining good magnetic field homogeneity. In this work, a square Helmholtz coil is designed and tested. The main objectives are to calculate the magnetic field provided by the square Helmholtz coils at any point in space and to show that it is uniform. Simulation is one of the most important parts of this work by which mathematical equations are simulated to investigate the axial magnetic field produced by square loops. Also, electrical modeling for Square Helmholtz coils is carried out. Besides this, the square Helmholtz coil is implemented experimentally and the theoretical and practical results are compared.","PeriodicalId":117219,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128364020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper mainly aims to assist in the early diagnosis process of AD through introducing a brain regional based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system, using structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI), that goes through four main stages: preprocessing, brain labeling, extracting the discriminant features, as well as diagnosing. The novelty of the our work is to offer a local/regional diagnosis to serve the subject-dependent effect of the disease followed by a global diagnosis with an overall promising performance as evaluated with the related work.

Online measurement of the GVF of oil and gas two-phase flow is of great significance for the safety monitoring and measurement of oilfield production processes. So it is an urgent problem to quickly and accurately detect the real-time GVF according to the non-destructive testing of oilfield field devices. In this paper, a method based on different flow rates and oil-gas ratios is proposed. The method of convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to predict the gas and oil flow rate in oil-gas two-phase flows. Compared with traditional algorithms, CNN algorithm solves the problem of the relationship between high-dimensional data (streaming image pixels) and low-dimensional data (GVF values and traffic) that cannot be solved by traditional algorithms. The data of different flow and oil-gas ratios of oil and gas two-phase flow were collected by experiment. The data collected by electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) was reconstructed using linear projection algorithm (LBP) to obtain the flow pattern. The reconstructed flow graphs are predicted by Binarized image measurement algorithm, SVM algorithm and convolutional neural network algorithm for oil flow rate, gas flow rate, and GVF. The average relative error of GVF prediction is 43% for Binarized image measurement algorithm, 8% for SVM algorithm, and 5% for the CNN algorithm. The CNN algorithm effectively avoids the possible over-fitting problem. Its loss function uses ElasticNet regression instead of least squares regression. The inception V3 model used is decomposed into small convolutions, which can reduce the amount of parameters, reduce over-fitting, and enhance the nonlinear expression of the network. The final model has an allowable error range of 5% and the accuracy can reach more than 90%.","PeriodicalId":117219,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128441537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous literature reports suggest that specific cerebral vascular alterations precede the onset of hypertension. In this manuscript, we propose a magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)-based computer-aided-diagnosis (CAD) system for the early detection of hypertension. The steps of the proposed CAD system are: 1) preprocessing of the MRA input data to correct the bias resulting from the magnetic field, remove noise effects, reduce contrast non-uniformities, enhance homogeneity using a generalized Gauss-Markov random field (GGMRF), and normalize data to enhance the segmentation process, 2) delineating the cerebral vasculature using a deep 3-D convolutional neural network (CNN) automatically and accurately, 3) extraction of vascular features (cerebrovascular diameters and tortuosity) that are reported to change with the progression of hypertension and constructing the feature vectors, 4) using the feature vectors for classifying input data using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. We report a 90% classification accuracy in distinguishing between normal and potential hypertensive subjects. These results demonstrate the efficacy of using the proposed vascular features to predict pre-hypertension or hypertension. Clinicians could track the alterations of these vascular features over time for people at risk of developing hypertension for optimal medical management and mitigate adverse events.","PeriodicalId":117219,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130978892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both inductive and deductive analyses were applied to 436 health information technology-related incidents identified from 4,915 medical imaging incident reports. In the 18 imaging workflow steps both human (58%) and technical factors (42%) were involved. Classification from the perspective of the 18 steps of the imaging workflow was useful because it orientates the reporter and analysts to the tasks at each stage, and it also informs the analysts as to where corrective strategies could be addressed.

This paper introduces an automated autism computer-aided diagnosis system based on the connectivity information of the WM tracts.
