The nature of the class verification problem requires a different loss function than the ubiquitous cross entropy loss in traditional classifiers: input to a class verification function includes a suggested class in addition to an image. As opposed to outlier detection, space is transformed to be not only separable, but discriminative between in-class and out-of-class inputs. In this paper, class verification based on a euclidean distance from the class centre is proposed and implemented. Class centres are learnt by training on a centre loss function. The method\"s effectiveness is shown on a self-checkout image dataset of 194 food retail products. The results show that a two-fold loss function is not only useful to verify class, but does not degrade classification performance - thus, the same neural network is usable both for classification and verification.","PeriodicalId":322214,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science Research Notes","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121334818","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}

Like UNet, the proposed model consists of a contracting/encoder path to extract the high-level information and an expansive/decoder path to recover the features to provide the segmentation. However, we have considered modifying the structure inside each level of the model and using the Coordinate Convolutional layer as the final layer to provide the segmentation. This network was trained end-to-end from a small set of CT scans of NSCLC patients.

Of these, the HistoPyramid appears to be one of the more promising options. This is due to its use of stream compaction and expansion which facilitates extremely efficient traversal of the HistoPyramid structure. This paper introduces a novel extension to the HistoPyramid concept that entails incorporating a variable reduction between the HP layers in order to better fit volumes with arbitrary dimensions, thus saving memory and improving performance. As with the existing HistoPyramid techniques, the adaptive version lends itself to implementation on the GPU which in turn leads to further performance improvements. Ultimately, when compared against the best performing existing HistoPyramids, the adaptive approach yielded a performance improvement of up to 20 percent without any impact on the accuracy of the extracted mesh.","PeriodicalId":322214,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science Research Notes","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126525787","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 contrast to the uniform distribution of samples in two-dimensional images, the distribution of samples in light fields varies for different scene regions. Some points are sampled from multiple directions, while others may only be captured by a small portion of the light field array. Our approach provides insights into this non-uniform distribution and helps guide further processing steps to fully leverage the available information content.","PeriodicalId":322214,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science Research Notes","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133772756","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 diffusion process is carried out by using tiny massless particles termed shapetons, which are used to capture the shape information. Initially, these shapetons are randomly distributed inside the voxels of the volume data. The shapetons are then diffused in a Monte Carlo fashion to obtain the shape information. The direction of propagation for the shapetons is monitored by the Volume Gradient Operator (VGO). This operator is known for successfully capturing the shape information and thus the shape information is well captured by the shapeton diffusion method. All the shapetons are diffused simultaneously and all the results can be monitored in real-time. We demonstrate several important applications of our approach including colon cancer detection and design of shape-based transfer functions. We also present supporting results for the applications and show that this method works well for volumes. We show that our approach can robustly extract shape-based features and thus forms the basis for improved classification and exploration of features based on shape.","PeriodicalId":322214,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science Research Notes","volume":"252 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134374856","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}
