Traditional biometric modalities such as fingerprint, iris, and face recognition have been successfully employed and have shown tremendous success in providing a secure access mechanism. On top of that, the success of deep learning algorithms has showcased that automated biometrics recognition has the potential of surpassing human-level accuracy. Another relatively unexplored biometric modality namely Dorsal Hand Vein (DHV) recently has gained traction in the industry and among researchers from academia. In this paper, we have designed an end-to-end pipeline for DHV biometric authentication that includes image enhancement, region of interest (ROI) extraction, and finally deep learning models for DHV recognition. Three deep learning models namely a custom convolutional neural network (CNN), a Siamese network, and a Triplet Network are trained on publicly available images of DHV datasets. Later, these models are used as feature extractors and tested on images of unseen subjects for authentication. We find that the simple CNN model learns a better feature representation than the Triplet network, which outperforms the Siamese network. One potential reason for such behavior is the limited availability of the datasets used in training.","PeriodicalId":427869,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Western New York Image and Signal Processing Workshop (WNYISPW)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124443082","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}

For this technique, variations in medical images are quantified into a high dimensional space using automated data-characterization algorithms. Such radiomic features (RFs) are then used in advanced mathematical analyses of medical images for the prediction of treatment outcomes, disease prognoses, and pathology detection. In the field of acute ischemic stroke intervention and management, the procedural outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy have been associated with RF subsets according to several published studies. However, sensitivity of these features to key radiomics parameters in the determination of the RFs and the effect of inter-user segmentation accuracy remains unexplored but is an important consideration to the standardization of radiomics-based image biomarkers. In this study, we collected clots and corresponding non-contrast CT (NCCT) and CT angiography (CTA) images from 17 patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel stroke. Clot image regions were then segmented by 3 observers and radiomics feature were extracted for each. In total, 200 RFs were extracted. Sensitivity analysis was conducted across 4 binwidths (2, 4, 8, and 16) for all RFs, and a binwidth of 2 was found to maximum agreeability between users. Interrater reliability was calculated using the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for RFs from the 3 segmentations. Observers showed lower reliability in RFs for CTA compared to NCCT RFs. However, observers had good agreement with ICC>0.75 for 67 and 43 RFs from NCCT and CTA clot regions respectively, several of which have been shown to be predictive of thrombectomy outcomes in previous studies.","PeriodicalId":427869,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Western New York Image and Signal Processing Workshop (WNYISPW)","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122547675","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 our study, we employ real-world X-ray image scans of lungs diseases and real life networks. As ML medical image classification systems, we employ well-known industrial VVG16, ResNet50, and InceptionV3 models, analyze and compare their performance. We leverage the POWDER platform to establish real wireless network between the two nodes. We transfer our X-ray scans between these nodes with various packet losses to obtain images corrupted due to network QoS degradation. We test our ML image classifiers on the obtained X-ray scans of various corruption degree and evaluate their performance. Our study demonstrates that even small packet losses of 2-5% can significantly deteriorate the ML classifier performance reducing the recognition accuracy from 90 to about 70-80 % that will make the cloud-based classification unacceptable for medical-related applications.","PeriodicalId":427869,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Western New York Image and Signal Processing Workshop (WNYISPW)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124758123","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}

This has provoked extensive research on spectrum coexistence. One case that has gained limited attention in this course is using currently banned frequency bands for active wireless communications. One such option is the 27 MHz-wide narrowband portion of the L-band from 1.400 to 1.427 GHz, which is exclusively devoted to space-borne passive radiometry for remote sensing and radio astronomy. Radio regulations currently prohibit active wireless communications and radars from operating in this band to avoid radio frequency interference (RFI) on highly noise-sensitive passive radiometry equipment. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite is one of the latest space-borne remote sensing missions that evaluates global soil moisture by passive scanning of the thermal emissions of the earth in this frequency band. In this paper, we investigate the opportunistic temporal use of this 27 MHz-wide passive radiometry band for active wireless transmissions when there is no Line of Sight (LoS) between SMAP and a terrestrial wireless network. We use MATLAB simulations to determine the fraction of time that SMAP has LoS (and non-LoS) with a terrestrial wireless cell at different Earth latitudes based on SMAP’s orbital characteristics. We also investigate the severity of RFI induced on SMAP in the presence of a terrestrial cluster of 5G cells with LoS.","PeriodicalId":427869,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Western New York Image and Signal Processing Workshop (WNYISPW)","volume":"384 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114959459","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}

When the underlying objects evolve over time, their geometric data change as well. Tracking their evolution is critical to many emerging areas, such as autonomous driving, edge computing networks, and drug interactions. Lacking well-defined grids in geometric data prohibits easy temporal matching for tracking evolution of geometric data. This paper considers the framework of graph signal processing to exploit spectral analysis on geometric surfaces to achieve the tracking task.This paper begins with modeling an underlying geometric surface by a graph, followed by using the spectra of local graph Laplacians to detect graph patches corresponding to regions of high curvatures on the geometric surfaces. The Laplacian spectra of feature graph patches and the structural information of graphs are analyzed together to perform temporal matching across times. Sparse temporal transforms are reconstructed based on the matched feature graph patches, and extrapolating the transforms to the full-scale graph derives the estimation of geometric evolution.","PeriodicalId":427869,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Western New York Image and Signal Processing Workshop (WNYISPW)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125065343","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}
