Currently, the problem is handled by creating radiation dose margins, which take into account the lack of information about lodge localization. We propose an alternative approach based on the image registration techniques, that aims to align computed tomography 3D images before and after surgery and to estimate the resected tumor lodge localization. The rigid registration and free-form deformations based on B-Splines are evaluated with additional 3D images preprocessing and analytical gradient calculation to speed-up the registration process. The correctness and usefulness are evaluated using target registration error, visual inspection, and physician opinion. The results demonstrate that the usage of image registration techniques can improve the quality of the radiotherapy planning.","PeriodicalId":302860,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Systems, Signals and Image Processing (IWSSIP)","volume":"275 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120865179","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}

In the steady-state, depending on the test object, the signal may contain only fundamental frequency and harmonics. Then, in case of poor mechanical condition, diagnostic signal contains also some foreign frequencies. Using signal of finite length for computing its spectrum causes some deviations in spectrum structure. It can be the reason for misinterpretation because of array frequencies occurring in DFT, which in fact do not exist in the signal and existing frequencies, which have incorrect amplitude. To reduce this effect, the window function can be used. Taking into consideration the special spectral structure of diagnostic signals in the steady-state, it is possible to adjust parameters of signals in such a way to eliminate any distortion for regular frequencies. For this purpose, if further analysis requires a fixed number of signal samples, by signal resampling, spectral resolution can be adjusted to the harmonics existing in the signal, especially, when processed are signals already recorded with unwanted sampling frequencies.","PeriodicalId":302860,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Systems, Signals and Image Processing (IWSSIP)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121166900","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 optimal basis functions are designed as a linear combination of space-limited functions with maximal concentration in the spectral region and band-limited functions with maximal concentration in the spatial region. The proposed optimal basis functions are shown to form a complete set for signal representation in a subspace formed by the vector sum of the subspaces spanned by space-limited and band-limited functions. We also formulate an integral operator which projects the signal to the joint subspace and maximizes the product of energy concentrations in harmonic and spatial domains. With the help of some properties of proposed optimal basis functions we show that these functions are the only eigenfunctions of the integral operator.","PeriodicalId":302860,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Systems, Signals and Image Processing (IWSSIP)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126151294","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}

More improved face detectors that can handle uncontrolled face detection scenarios have achieved by applying more advanced features such as Histogram of oriented Gradients (HoG). The great improvement in accuracy delivered by these methods has been accompanied by a large increase in the computational burden, which limited adoption in embedded solutions particularly. The improved bitmap-based HoG approaches resolved this problem by limitation of HoG window to non-rectangular irregular pattern of the object and its boundary avoid processing of extra background and (partially) foreground pixels respectively. In this paper, bHoG and bbHoG along with three different bitmap patterns are applied to the face detection problem to not only benefits from the robustness of HoG, but also to amend its high computational cost significantly. Experimental results show an decrease of 92.5% in the workload associated with HoG/SVM classifiers compared to the state-of-the-art, along with approximately the same performance as standard HoG and an average decrease about 5% in recall and precision in comparison for the smaller cell sizes.","PeriodicalId":302860,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Systems, Signals and Image Processing (IWSSIP)","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121878598","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}

Subbands of wavelet transforms with different orientations were used for computation of spectral features. The log commulants were estimated for each subband and 8 additional rotations were used for feature extraction. Those features were fed into stacked autoencoder (SAE). The SAE was pre-trained by greedy layer-wise training method. Capable of feature expression, SAE makes the fused features more distinguishable.

Urban Traffic Information System (UTIS) was developed as a mobile detector for measuring link travel speeds in South Korea. UTIS is mainly a means of collecting enhanced roadway condition information and then broadcasting related traveler information and various alerts back to vehicles. The proposed wireless media is based on UTIS technology operating at 5.725∼5.825 GHz in South Korea. Under the UTIS concept, vehicles will be equipped with an UTIS radio, a highly accurate on-board positioning system, an appropriately configured on-board computer to facilitate communications, support various applications, and provide an interface for the driver. This equipment is collectively referred to as the On-Board Equipment (OBE). Vehicles communicate with Roadside Equipment (RSE), which is linked to the specialized UTIS network. RSEs and CCTVs are positioned at major signaled intersections and along major arterial roads. This study describes a model developed for estimating reliable and accurate average roadway link travel speeds using UTIS and CCTV. The algorithm estimates link travel times using a robust data-fusion procedure to provide accurate link travel speeds and traffic information to the public.","PeriodicalId":302860,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Systems, Signals and Image Processing (IWSSIP)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127767190","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 objective is to improve ASR performance with retrained acoustic models. The standard approaches are based on confidence of individual sentences. In this study, we look into an alternative view on transcript label quality, in which Gaussian Supervector Distance (GSD) is used as a criterion for data selection. GSD is a metric which quantifies how the model was changed during its adaptation. By using an automatic speech recognition transcript derived from an out-of-domain acoustic model, unsupervised adaptation was conducted and GSD was computed. The adapted model is then applied to an audio book transcription task. It is found that GSD provide hints for predicting data transcription quality. A preliminary attempt in active learning proves the effectiveness of GSD selection criterion over random selection, shedding light on its prospective use.","PeriodicalId":302860,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Systems, Signals and Image Processing (IWSSIP)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134019459","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}

Such a concern is culminated in a symmetry detection competition as a workshop affiliated with the 2011 and 2013 CVPR Conferences. In this paper, we propose a method based on the computation of the symmetry level associated to each pixel. Such a value is determined through the energy balance of the even/odd decomposition of a patch with respect to a central axis (which is equivalent to estimate the middle point of a row-wise convolution). Peaks localization along the perpendicular direction of each angle allows to identify possible symmetry axes. The evaluation of a feature based on gradient information allows to establish a classification confidence for each detected axis. By adopting the aforementioned rigorous validation framework, the proposed method indicates significant performance increase.","PeriodicalId":302860,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Systems, Signals and Image Processing (IWSSIP)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125207465","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}
