To make an effective treatment and diagnosis, it is vital to accurately discriminate invasive adenocarcinoma (IA) from non-IA by analyzing ground glass nodules (GGNs) from patient's CT images. Compared with solid nodules and normal lung parenchyma, the contours of GGN are blurred and the gray scale is little changed. So far, the problem to accurately discriminate IA and non-IA remains unsolved due to insufficient labeled GGN images. In this paper, considering the generalization of convolutional neural network (CNN) and various flexible transfer strategies, we proposed a lung adenocarcinoma classification method after combining transfer learning and CNN, where the use of transfer learning strategies aims at overcoming the problem of insufficient GGN samples. Firstly, the CT image on IA and non-IA patients were collected which were labeled by surgical pathology. Secondly, two transfer learning strategies that consist of CNN feature extractor and fine-tuning network were applied to classify IA and non-IA. Finally, in the fine-tuning network process, a Progressive Fine-Tuning (PFT) strategy was combined to determine the effective depth of fine-tuning to avoid inaccurate induction of GGNs. In the CNN feature extractor experiment, four comparable models were used including linear discrimination, Support Vector Machines, K-nearest neighbor, and subspace discrimination. The indicators of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and AUC (area under curve) were used to quantitatively assess the performance of the two transfer strategies. Experiments show that the strategy of CNN feature extractor based on transfer learning had the highest accuracy, which was significantly higher than fine-tuning network strategy with PFT. In the experiment of CNN feature extractor, the model of linear discrimination to predict the invasiveness of GGNs has 94% accuracy whereas the other three models have 92.9%, 93.1% and 92.9%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":6772,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74231324","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 approach effectively reduces the data bandwidth and power consumption at the system-level and increases the lifetime of sensor nodes. This paper presents an always-on, event-driven ultra-low-power camera platform for motion detection applications. The platform exploits an event-driven VGA imager that features a motion detection mode based on a tunable scene background subtraction algorithm and a grayscale imaging mode. To reduce the power consumption in the motion detection mode, the platform implements a configurable refresh rate which allows for adaption to sensing requirements by trading off between power consumption and detection sensitivity. With accurate experimental evaluation the paper demonstrates that the proposed approach reduces the system-level power consumption for always-on motion sensing applications by switching between an active 15 FPS imaging mode, consuming 5.5 mW and a low-power motion detection mode consuming 1.8 mW. We further estimate the power consumption for a single-chip solution and show that the system-level power budget can be reduced to 2.4 mW in imaging, and $400 mumathrm{W}$ in detection mode.","PeriodicalId":6772,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91282273","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}

Inappropriate values of these parameters may cause a series of problems, such as lower convergence rate, artifacts, or filter divergence. This paper aims to analyze the influence of the parameters on the image quality for ECT and guide the selection of the parameters.

The estimation is carried out in three phases named as “Training”, “Interrelation”, and “Validation”. In the “Training Phase”, output voltage from the “MilkTester” is expressed as multivariate equation of fat, SNF and protein. The data sets of fat, SNF and protein are collected using the commercial instrument, “MilkoScreen”(from FOSS, Denmark). This instrument is installed in National Dairy Research Institute Kalyani, India to measure the constituents of milk. Interrelations between “protein & SNF” and “SNF & fat” are estimated by linear regression analysis using the software, OriginPro 8.5, which return the value of the coefficients of the equations. Finally, relation between output voltage and fat is obtained. Once the value of fat percentage is known, the other two parameters can be found out by using the interrelation equations. In the ‘Validation Phase’, fat, SNF and protein are regarded as unknown components and estimated using voltage data (from the ‘MilkTester’). The error between the estimated value (from regression analysis) and true value (obtained from the “MilkoScreen’) is also evaluated for all the three parameters for randomly chosen samples. The maximum error, 12.21 %, is found for estimation of protein. But the difference of absolute value is only 0.59. Maximum error for fat estimation is 10.01 %, where absolute difference is 0.63. The SNF estimation shows error of 4.61 % with absolute error of 0.45.","PeriodicalId":6772,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83512333","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}

By using an adaptive rate wavelet decomposition scheme, recognizable features are derived from the preconditioned signal. These attributes are then analyzed for arrhythmia recognition. By using a known arrhythmia, MIT-BIH, database, the output of the framework is studied. It is demonstrated that the system is able to adapt its parameters by analyzing the incoming signal variations. It permits the processing of a lower dimension dataset, for arrhythmia recognition, by the computationally efficient adaptive-rate denoising and subbands decomposition stages. This results in a major decrease in the system's computational costs. The amount of information, required to be sent to the health server is also drastically diminished. This aptitude shows a measurable decrease in the activity of data transmission and processing load of the post classifier. Moreover, the classification performance of the devised method is tested.

In this work a single channel wearable wireless EOG monitoring system is presented. The entire system is implemented on a double sided polymide flexible substrate. The recording silver electrodes are printed on the bottom side of the substrate whereas the EOG signal recording and transmission circuitries are implemented on the top side of the substrate with printed silver traces. The system is run by a rechargeable battery and uses a BLE 5.0 transceiver for wireless connectivity. Design considerations for the wearable EOG monitoring system are discussed in details. The system performance is validated by successfully monitoring different eye movements with it. Additionally, comparison between the EOG signals observed using the printed silver electrodes and commercial gold electrodes of same dimensions demonstrate that the printed electrodes provide similar EOG signal amplitude like the commercial gold electrodes.
