Region classifications of fresh tissue with 3 or more regions, such as cancer, fat, and collagen, remain a challenge for cancer detection. We propose to tackle this problem by exploiting the spatial correlation among neighboring pixels in THz images, that is, pixels that are close to each other are more likely to belong to the same region. The spatial correlation among pixels is modeled by using Markov random fields (MRF). A Gaussian mixture model (GMM) with expectation maximization (EM) is then used to represent the statistical distributions of the THz images in both the frequency and spatial domain. Experiment results demonstrated that the proposed spatial image segmentation algorithm outperforms existing algorithms that do not consider spatial information.","PeriodicalId":135770,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and North American Radio Science Meeting","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114470257","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}

The fitness function used to design the CPW-CTS elements accounts for impedance bandwidth, radiation pattern, cross polarization, and transmission coefficient. Simulation results are verified experimentally. The GP designed CPW-CTS antenna array was able to achieve nearly 4 times the bandwidth of a conventional CPW-CTS array design.
