Seismic data can easily add up to hundred of gigabytes and terabytes in size. However, the key features or structural information that are of interest to the seismic interpreters are quite few. These features include salt domes, fault and other geological features that have the potential of indicating the presence of oil reservoir. A new method for extracting the most perceptual relevant features in seismic images based on the CAS model is proposed. The efficiency of this method in detecting the most salient structures in a seismic image such as salt dome is demonstrated through a series of experiment on real data set with various spatial contents.","PeriodicalId":6705,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"21 1","pages":"1906-1910"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89873611","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 information can be obtained by a deep learning where convolutional neural networks (CNN) are a subset recently used widely in image processing. In this paper, we have designed a two-stage CNN that takes cytology images of overlapped cervical cells and attempts to separate the cell images. In the first stage, we designed a CNN to segment overlapping cells. In the second stage, we designed a CNN that uses this segmentation and the original image to separate the regions. We implemented a CNN similar to U-Net for image segmentation and implemented a new network for the image separation. To train and test the proposed networks, we simulated 50000 cervical cell cytology images by overlaying individual images of real cervical cells using the Beer-Lambert law. Of these 50000 images, we used 49000 images for training and evaluated the method with 1000 test images. Results on these synthetic images give more than 97% segmentation accuracy and gives decomposition SSIM scores of more than 0.99 and PSNR score of more than 30 dB. Despite these positive results, the permutation problem that commonly effects signal separation occasionally occurred resulting in some cell structure mis-separation (for example, one cell given two nucleoli and the other given none). In addition, when the segmentation was poor from the first stage, the resulting separation was poor.","PeriodicalId":6705,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"52 1","pages":"1110-1114"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90549014","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}

Since almost all methods are designed for supervised trained models, we propose in this work a visualization technique for unsupervised trained autoencoders called Gradient-weighted Latent Activation Mapping (Grad-LAM). We adapt the idea of Grad-CAM and propose a novel weighting based on the knowledge of the autoencoder’s decoder. Our method will help to get insights into the highly nonlinear mapping of an input image to a latent space.

Nevertheless, the great majority of risk managers make no explicit distinction between the information captured by patterns of different frequency content, while relying on the full time-resolution data, regardless of the trading horizon. To address this problem, a novel value-at-risk (VaR) quantification method is proposed, which combines nonlinearly the time-evolving energy profile of returns series at multiple frequency scales, determined by the predefined trading horizon. Most importantly, our proposed method can be coupled with any quantile-based risk measure to enhance its performance.

The method consists of detecting and localizing the involved speakers in a mixture, followed by a ZFF based approach where involved speakers’ pitches are iteratively streamed from the observed mixture. The robustness of the proposed system is tested over two, and three overlapping speech mixtures collected in reverberant environment.

In this paper, Machine Learning (ML)-based hybrid Spectrum Sensing (SS) scheme is proposed. The scattering of the Test Statistics (TSs) of two detectors is used in the learning and prediction phases. As the SS decision is binary, the proposed scheme requires the learning of only the boundaries of H0-class in order to make a decision on the PU status: active or idle. Thus, a set of data generated under H0 hypothesis is used to train the detection system. Accordingly, unlike the existing ML-based schemes of the literature, no PU statistical parameters are required. In order to discriminate between H0-class and elsewhere, we used a one-class classification approach that is inspired by the Isolation Forest algorithm. Extensive simulations are done in order to investigate the efficiency of such hybrid SS and the impact of the novelty detection model parameters on the detection performance. Indeed, these simulations corroborate the efficiency of the proposed one-class learning of the hybrid SS system.","PeriodicalId":6705,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1683-1686"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77083788","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 addressing the note onset detection (NOD) problem using a data-driven methodology, a major challenge is the availability and quality of labeled datasets used for both model training/tuning and evaluation. As most of the available datasets are manually annotated, the amount of annotated music excerpts is limited and the annotation strategy and quality varies across data sets. To counter both problems, in this paper we propose to use semi-synthetic datasets where the music excerpts are mixes of isolated note recordings. The advantage resides in the annotations being automatically generated while mixing the notes, as isolated note onsets are straightforward to detect using a simple energy measure. A semi-synthetic dataset is used in this work for augmenting a real piano dataset when training a convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with three novel model training strategies. Training the CNN on a semi-synthetic dataset and retraining only the CNN classification layers on a real dataset results in higher average F1-score (F1) scores with lower variance.","PeriodicalId":6705,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"89 1","pages":"171-175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74046757","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}
