In general, spherical deconvolution (SD) based methods have many advantages for MFOs estimation. However, these methods are lowly immune to noise. To cope with this problem, regularization techniques were introduced in SD-based methods to reduce noise artifacts. But, the regularizers were often defined as a convex function to make the model resolving simpler, which limits their effect of regularization. In this work, we introduce a nonconvex regularizer in the Richardson-Lucy based SD framework for estimating MFOs. The results on synthetic phantom and physical phantom images demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to existing SD-based methods in terms of mean angular errors, edge preservation and computation time.","PeriodicalId":6474,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (CISP-BMEI)","volume":"26 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89296377","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 first part introduces the structure of the convolutional neural network and the method of extracting features from images. The second part compares the effects of different similarity measures on retrieval accuracy. The third part studies the way to speed up retrieval. We use PCA to reduce feature dimensions and draw a line chart of dimension and accuracy. Then we analyze the reason why the change of accuracy rate is divided into two stages: ascending first and descending later. The fourth part studies the way to increase retrieval accuracy. We compare the retrieval accuracy before and after fine-tuning and analyze the reasons for that.

Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) neuroimages are effective modalities that can help physicians to diagnose AD. In past few years, machine-learning algorithm have been widely studied on the analyses for multi-modality neuroimages in quantitation evaluation and computer-aided-diagnosis (CAD) of AD. Most existing methods extract the hand-craft features after image preprocessing such as registration, segmentation and feature extraction, and then train a classifier to distinguish AD from other groups. This paper proposes to construct multi-level convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to gradually learn and combine the multi-modality features for AD classification using MRI and PET images. First, the deep 3D-CNNs are constructed to transform the whole brain information into compact high-level features for each modality. Then, a 2D CNNs is cascaded to ensemble the high-level features for image classification. The proposed method can automatically learn the generic features from MRI and PET imaging data for AD classification. No rigid image registration and segmentation are performed on the brain images. Our proposed method is evaluated on the baseline MRI and PET images from Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database on 193 subjects including 93 Alzheimer's disease (AD) subjects and 100 normal controls (NC) subjects. Experimental results and comparison show that the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 89.64% for classification of AD vs. NC, demonstrating the promising classification performance.","PeriodicalId":6474,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (CISP-BMEI)","volume":"26 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86773303","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}

Consequently, poor information precision and retrieval are part of the hottest recent research areas in today's world. Despite the voluminous of information resided on the web, valuable informative knowledge could possibly be discovered with the application of advanced data mining techniques. Association rule mining, as a technique in data mining, is one way to discover frequent patterns from various data sources. In this paper, three of the foremost association rule mining algorithms used for frequent pattern discovering namely, Eclat, Apriori, and FP-Growth examined on three sets of transactional databases devised from server access log file.

Understanding their shape will help us know the taxonomy of cephalopods, even to the species level. Ommastrephes bartramii, Dosidicus gigas and Illex argentinus are chosen to compare the shape of their statolith as a means of species identification because of their ecological importance to the marine ecosystems. The results show that D. gigas has a relatively large sized statolith and I. argentinus has the smallest. The four main parts of the statolith (dorsal dome, lateral dome, rostrum and wing) in the different species were diverse and distinguishable. The traditional method effectively separated the three species of statolith with high classification rates (92.0%–100%) by six morphology variables. The outline method produced a relatively low classification rate (73.4%–94.2%) using six harmonic numbers and stepwise discriminant analysis (SDA). The result in this study demonstrates that traditional method would achieve a better performance when the species are not so closely related phylogenetically, and outline method is more suitable for the statolith identification at the genus level. It is necessary to compare other cephalopod statoliths by different methods and find a suitable one.","PeriodicalId":6474,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (CISP-BMEI)","volume":"34 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86379579","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}

Then, the local window energy and the coefficient absolute value is regarded as the activity measure of approximate and detail sub-bands respectively. Decision maps are obtained by selecting max activity measure. Source images are regarded as the guided images and decision maps are used as input images in JBF. After filtering operation by JBF, the output images are treated as weight maps. The sub-band coefficients are fused by weighted average algorithm. Finally, the fused sub-bands are composed into a fused image by the inverse NSCT. The experiments on the IFR and VI image are carried out.

To verify the performance of the presented geometric calibration algorithm for projection matrix computation and geometric parameter extraction, CBCT consisting of a flat-panel detector is simulated and the un-calibration reconstructed image is compared with the reconstructed images of the calibration method in this paper. The extracted geometric parameters from the calculated projection matrix are very close to the input values. Compared with the uncorrected reconstructed image, the corrected reconstructed image significantly reduces many artifacts.

Prediction of exons can help to understand the structure and function of protein. However, the issue of finding an efficient technique to detect the numbers and locations of short coding sequences automatically is an unsolved problem. In this work, a short exon prediction method based on multiscale products in B-spline wavelet domain is proposed. The proposed wavelet denoising and multiscale products-based technique (WDMP) for short exons prediction have the following three features. (1) A wavelet package denoising method is applied to smooth the DNA numerical sequences. (2) A new B-spline wavelet function is designed to extract the exon features in multiscale domain, so the effect of window length is avoided. In addition, this wavelet has a higher degree of freedom for curve design. (3) We multiply the adjacent coefficients to exploit the high inter-scale correlation of the exon data, while these correlation features are used to separate the exon signals from background noise. Compared with four well-known model-independent methods, case studies demonstrate that the proposed WDMP method helps to improve the prediction accuracy of short exons significantly.","PeriodicalId":6474,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (CISP-BMEI)","volume":"39 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79223982","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}
