By selecting the moving control points of the cubic hybrid curves, better cubic polynomial bounds are obtained to make the proposed method more efficient.

Observation devices with a matrix are used in medicine, ecology, aerospace photography, and geodesy, among other fields. In the discrete receivers, the sampling of an image in the matrix receiver into pixels leads to a decrease in the spatial information of the object. In a greater extent, these disadvantages can be avoided by using photosensitive matrix with a regularly changing (controlled) density of elementary receivers-matrix (RCDOER-matrix). Currently, there is no substantiation of the tasks and conditions for the hardware implementation of RCDOER-matrix. The algorithmic formation of a quasi-continuous image of observation devices with the RCDOER-matrix is proposed. The algorithm used a formal pixel-by-pixel description of the signals in the image. This algorithm formalizes the requirements for creating a photosensitive RCDOER-matrix of a certain size, as well as for changing the mechanism for forming and saving a frame with observation results. The application of the developed method will allow multiplying the pixel size of the image relative to the pixel size of the RCDOER-matrix. Developed algorithms for RCDOER-matrix are supplemented by formalizing the tasks that arise when creating prototypes. In addition, the conditions for hardware implementation are proposed, which ensure the completeness of registration of the observation picture, and allow avoiding excessive pixel measurements. Thus, the results of the research carried out approximate the practical application of RCDOER-matrix.</p>","PeriodicalId":52384,"journal":{"name":"Visual Computing for Industry, Biomedicine, and Art","volume":" ","pages":"6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8825919/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39775514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An improved machine learning-based framework was developed for this study. The proposed system was tested using 106 full field digital mammography images from the INbreast dataset, containing a total of 115 breast mass lesions. The proficiencies of individual and various combinations of computed textures and geometric features were investigated by evaluating their contributions towards attaining higher classification accuracies. Four state-of-the-art filter-based feature selection algorithms (Relief-F, Pearson correlation coefficient, neighborhood component analysis, and term variance) were employed to select the top 20 most discriminative features. The Relief-F algorithm outperformed other feature selection algorithms in terms of classification results by reporting 85.2% accuracy, 82.0% sensitivity, and 88.0% specificity. A set of nine most discriminative features were then selected, out of the earlier mentioned 20 features obtained using Relief-F, as a result of further simulations. The classification performances of six state-of-the-art machine learning classifiers, namely k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), support vector machine, decision tree, Naive Bayes, random forest, and ensemble tree, were investigated, and the obtained results revealed that the best classification results (accuracy = 90.4%, sensitivity = 92.0%, specificity = 88.0%) were obtained for the k-NN classifier with the number of neighbors having k = 5 and squared inverse distance weight. The key findings include the identification of the nine most discriminative features, that is, FD26 (Fourier Descriptor), Euler number, solidity, mean, FD14, FD13, periodicity, skewness, and contrast out of a pool of 125 texture and geometric features.
