To detect multiple sclerosis, you need to have MRI scans so you can see the areas where myelin has been damaged. This analysis is complex and costly due to the time required to assess injuries. The use of machine learning is desirable as these exams are taken periodically. However, the number of public databases present in the literature containing patients with multiple sclerosis is small when compared to the amount of data needed to train deep neural networks. Thus, the objective of this work is to join public databases of magnetic resonance images existing in the literature, proposing a software library to manipulate and pre-process these data.","PeriodicalId":311431,"journal":{"name":"Anais do XVII Workshop de Visão Computacional (WVC 2021)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126575331","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}

Phantom images of 1T equipment were investigated for this study. For the acquisition of these images, a protocol called DQA (Daily Quality Assurance) was used. For this work, 45 MRI images were acquired, which were pre-classified by an expert, and analyzed by SNR, an index that quantifies the ratio between signal and image noise, and by the multivariate statistical methods PCA + MLDA. PCA served as a statistical filter, which considerably decreased the amount of input information for MLDA. When all main components were used, MLDA showed an accuracy of 93.33% and results that allowed to discriminate background noise from these images in complementarity with SNR.","PeriodicalId":311431,"journal":{"name":"Anais do XVII Workshop de Visão Computacional (WVC 2021)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126945780","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 recognition shall be done through the processing of videos, without relying on support hardware. Given the great difficulty of creating a system for this purpose, an approach was developed by dividing the process into stages. In addition to dynamically identifying signs and context, neural network concepts and tools were used to extract the characteristics of interest and classify them accordingly. In addition, a dataset of signs, referring to the alphabet in LIBRAS, was built as well as a tool to interpret, with the aid of a webcam, the signal executed by a user, transcribing it on the screen.","PeriodicalId":311431,"journal":{"name":"Anais do XVII Workshop de Visão Computacional (WVC 2021)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131849675","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}
