To assist doctors in manual interpretation, numerous automatic methods are being developed. Recent segmentation algorithms based on deep learning perform the best on homogeneous data, but poorly on the data from different sources. For this reason, modern methods struggle in real world application. Improvement of the effectiveness on the unknown data can be done via several techniques like transfer learning or domain adaptation. In this paper, we proposed a segmentation framework with strong generalisability skills. The pipeline includes domain adaptation with CycleGAN architecture and segmentation of the left ventricular using U-Net 2D convolutional neural network. The method was evaluated on the data set from M& Ms challenge which is formed from data acquisited by several MRI scanners, in different medical centers. Presented method obtained a weighted dice coefficient score of $90.15pm 6.40$% and weighted Hausdorff Distance of $11.74pm 13.11 mm$. The results show that applied methods improved generalization of the model and decreased gap between metrics scores for different vendors. Presented method can be classified among other participants of the challenge.","PeriodicalId":433402,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST)","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126868712","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 conventional strategy for reducing scattered radiation is the use of anti-scatter grids which, while improving image quality, increase the radiation dose absorbed by the patient and pose geometrical restrictions in non-standard techniques such as portable radiography. In this work, we propose and evaluate two approaches for scatter correction based on deep learning, which adopt a U-net convolutional neural network architecture. An indirect method, based on the estimation of the scatter map which is then subtracted from the original image, and a direct method, based on the estimation of final corrected image directly. Due to the lack of real acquisitions with and without anti-scatter grid, Monte Carlo simulations were performed to generate the dataset. This study demonstrates the potential of the DL methods to remove the scattered radiation with an error of around 5%.","PeriodicalId":433402,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132767828","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}

Recent advances in deep learning show applications in semantic image segmentation having performances superior to the traditional, non learning based methods. In this paper, we compare performance of the two approaches: one based on the Active Shape Models and the second exploiting the convolutional neural networks (CNN). Both compared methods were trained using CT volumes belonging to the same set of the real patients data annotated by clinical experts. CNN turned out to offer better performances in terms of accuracy and robustness.

Optimal rectilinear images were generated from panoramic images collected from Hurricane Harvey, Texas 2017. Then, deep learning models, including Amazon Web Service (AWS) Rekognition and Mask R-CNN (Region Based Convolutional Neural Networks), were retrained on the data to develop a pipeline for building detection and structural component extraction. A web-based dashboard was developed for building data management and processed image visualization along with detected structural components and their damage ratings.

The second problem is the lack of an intelligent multi-scale image processor essential for integrating the data into digital 4.0 platforms, which has a significant impact on G&G teams’ decisions for better well completion and reservoir evaluation. In this paper, we discuss the example of slab core analysis using our proposed GeoPixAI workflow. In this application, two different Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) are designed to measure oil saturation, lithology, and fracture distributions. The results are then compared to the lab measure values. Our techniques show great accuracy while producing results at a fraction of the time it takes to do lab analysis. Also, the results are found to be consistent with lab measurements. While this study focuses on slab core analysis, GeoPixAI is a project focus on Digital Subsurface Processing for intelligent segmentation and information extraction from “raw” images at any scale. GeoPixAI can analyze and extract information from core Micro-CT scans, seismic data, FMI logs, and other image data.","PeriodicalId":433402,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122648040","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}

People detection algorithms for top-view fisheye images have been developed recently. However, these algorithms only detect the people present in the different frames but do not follow them through a video sequence. First, we based our work on the RAPiD (Rotation-Aware People Detection in Over-head Fisheye Images) method to detect people in video frames. Then, in order to track the target throughout the video, we use a comparison method for color histograms based on Bhattacharyya distance. This distance is computed with several histograms with different properties relating to the number of bins or the colorspace to compare the efficiency. Finally, their position is assessed by computing an angle and a distance to the camera. As a result, in a video where several people are detected, we are able to follow the path of one single person throughout the video.","PeriodicalId":433402,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129037797","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 consequence of not “cleaning” those datasets is to end up with faulty, noisy and imbalanced datasets. Thus, curation is necessary, to tackle the variable degrees of inconsistency found on the retrieved samples. This paper suggests a pipeline consisting of state-of-the-art and off-the-shelf methods for curating an image dataset retrieved from the Web.
