It complicates diagnosis and quantitative and visual measurements. In this work, the iterative minimum mean square error (IMMSE) method has been extended for de-speckling of ultrasound images. Therefore, by optimally setting the number of iterations, the IMMSE filtering approach outperforms traditional speckle filtering methods such as the mean, median and the improved Lee filters in speckle removal and edge preservation.","PeriodicalId":384018,"journal":{"name":"2020 5th International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Signal and Image Processing (ATSIP)","volume":"45 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131746199","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}

Respectively, various techniques have been investigated to apprehend features combination and multi-label classification issues. Indeed, significant consideration has been given to approaches supporting the use of a single type of features. Moreover, few efforts have been dedicated to model the multi-label aspect of hyperspectral pixels and to integrate simultaneously divergent kinds of interdependent features. In this paper, we propose a novel embedding multi-label learning approach integrating complementary weighted features. The proposed framework combines the singular statistical characteristics of each feature to accomplish a physically meaningful cooperative low-dimensional representation of extracted features. This will grant, in one hand, the refinement of classification process and the propagation of narrow class information to unlabeled sample, in the other hand, when only partial labeling knowledge is available. This paper makes the following contributions: (i) the extraction of multi-view features based on the 3D model of the spectral signature and (ii) an embedding multi-label based approach by better tackling unbalanced and dimensionality issues. A set of complementary spatial/spectral features is extracted in the experimental section from a series of hyperspectral images. The obtained results reflect the efficiency of the proposed classification schema while maintaining a reasonable computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":384018,"journal":{"name":"2020 5th International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Signal and Image Processing (ATSIP)","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127598908","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}

Hence, there is an urgent need for developing an automatic nuclei segmentation approach which can provide an accurate number of cancerous histological tissues and overcome the issue of overlapping cells. In the proposed study, a morphological method for microscopic image segmentation is presented, this approach is mainly based on the choice of the appropriate color space, which highlights stained cells nuclei caused by stain variability and insufficient lighting conditions. Stromal cells, that differ from tumor cells in their particular form and small size, should be removed using shape criterion. Then marker-controlled watershed technique is applied in order to reduce the over-segmentation and to detach the connected cells in the resulting images.
