In this study, we propose a reversible color-to-gray method with resistance to JPEG encoding. To embed color information, the discrete cosine transformation (DCT) is employed, with good affinity to JPEG encoding. In the proposed method, first an input color image is converted to the YCbCr color space, and the DCT coefficients of the Cb and Cr components are embedded into the DCT coefficients of the Y component. Then using the JPEG quantization table, an appropriate embedding position is determined. Experiments were performed on standard color images, and the color recovery error after JPEG coding was compared and verified with conventional methods using PSNR and CIEDE2000.","PeriodicalId":422209,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation (SSIAI)","volume":"76 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133007335","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 last decade, a visual method, called \"Clutter Image Rating\" (CIR), has been developed for the assessment of hoarding severity. It involves rating clutter in patient’s home on the CIR scale from 1 to 9 using a set of reference images. Such assessment, however, is time-consuming, subjective, and may be non-repeatable. In this paper, we propose a new automatic clutter assessment method from images, according to the CIR scale, based on deep learning. While, ideally, the goal is to perfectly classify clutter, trained professionals admit assigning CIR values within ±1. Therefore, we study two loss functions for our network: one that aims to precisely assign a CIR value and one that aims to do so within ±1. We also propose a weighted combination of these loss functions that, as a byproduct, allows us to control the CIR mean absolute error (MAE). On a recently-collected dataset, we achieved ±1 accuracy of 82% and MAE of 0.88, significantly outperforming our previous results of 60% and 1.58, respectively.","PeriodicalId":422209,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation (SSIAI)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134043822","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}

However, the frequencies in the Discrete Fourier Transform correspond to equally spaced samples of the continuous frequency domain, and the other possible frequency distributions are not usually considered in compressive sensing. This paper presents an irregular sampling of the normalized frequencies of the Discrete Fourier Transform which converges to an equidistributed sequence. This is done by taking the sequence of the fractional parts of the successive multiples of the golden number. That sequence was considered in applications in computer graphics and in magnetic resonance imaging [1], [2]. We also show that sub-matrices of the Discrete Fourier Transform with frequencies corresponding to fractional parts of multiples of the golden number produce signal-to-error ratios almost as high as the equally spaced counterpart. In addition, we show that the proposed irregular sampling converges faster to a uniform distribution in the range (0, 1). Thus, it reduces the discrepancy of pairwise distances of consecutive elements in the frequency sampling.","PeriodicalId":422209,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation (SSIAI)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121568819","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 new metric preserves the well known benefits of extracting high order statistical information from correntropy, but now dealing with complex-valued data. As an example, the paper shows the CCIM applied in the approximation of ℓ0-minimization in the reconstruction of complex-valued sparse signals in a compressive sensing problem formulation.

One of the challenging problems in developing consistent quantitative estimation of metabolite concentration is proper correction of the MRS baseline due to the contributions from macromolecules and lipids. We have proposed a novel approach based on interpolation of minima in MR spectra and applied this technique to both in vitro and in vivo MRS data analysis. Our results demonstrate that the proposed method is fast, independent of tuning, and provides an accurate estimation of MRS baseline, leading to improved computational estimates for metabolic concentrations.","PeriodicalId":422209,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation (SSIAI)","volume":"449 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123200669","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}

Manual detection and classification of individual primary cilia by visual inspection is time consuming, and prone to induce subjective bias. However, automation of this process is challenging as well, due to clutter, bleed-through, imaging noise, and the similar characteristics of the non-cilia candidates present within the image. We propose a convolutional neural random forest classifier that combines a convolutional neural network with random decision forests to classify the primary cilia in fluorescence microscopy images. We compare the performance of the proposed classifier with that of an unsupervised k-means classifier and a supervised multi-layer perceptron classifier on real data consisting of 8 representative cilia images, containing more than 2300 primary cilia using precision/recall rates, ROC curves, AUC, and Fβ-score for classification accuracy.
