Still, the inability to correlate individual 2D images with 3D organ morphology limits its applications, especially in intra-operative planning and navigation, disease physiology, cancer surveillance, etc. As a result, most endoscopy videos, which carry enormous data potential, are used only for real-time guidance and are discarded after collection. We present a complete method for the 3D reconstruction of inner organs that suggests image extraction techniques from endoscopic videos and a novel image pre-processing technique to reconstruct and visualize a 3D model of organs from an endoscopic video. We use advanced computer vision methods and do not require any modifications to the clinical-grade endoscopy hardware. We have also formalized an image acquisition protocol through experimentation with a calibrated test bed. We validate the accuracy and robustness of our reconstruction using a test bed with known ground truth. Our method can significantly contribute to endoscopy-based diagnostic and surgical procedures using comprehensive tissue and tumor 3D visualization.</p>","PeriodicalId":90950,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Southeastcon.

In this paper, we introduce a novel auto-focusing approach based on Harris Corner Response Measure (HCRM) and compare the performance with some existing auto-focusing methods. We perform our experiments on protein images as well as a simulated image stack to evaluate the performance of our method.

Firstly, we evaluate the performance of semi-supervised approach using self-training with naïve Bayesian (NB) and sequential minimum optimization (SMO) as the base classifiers. The confidence values returned by these classifiers are used to select high confident predictions to be used for self-training. Secondly, we analyze the performance of Yet Another Two Stage Idea (YATSI) semi-supervised learning using NB, SMO, multilayer perceptron (MLP), J48 and random forest (RF) classifiers. These results are compared with the basic supervised learning using the same training sets. We perform our experiments on a dataset consisting of 2250 protein crystallization images for different proportions of training and test data. Our results indicate that NB and SMO using both self-training and YATSI semi-supervised approaches improve accuracies with respect to supervised learning. On the other hand, MLP, J48 and RF perform better using basic supervised learning. Overall, random forest classifier yields the best accuracy with supervised learning for our dataset.</p>","PeriodicalId":90950,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Southeastcon.

We use 5 different classifiers to solve this problem and we applied some data preprocessing methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), min-max (MM) normalization and z-score (ZS) normalization methods to our datasets in order to evaluate their effects on classifiers for the noncrystal and likely leads datasets. We performed our experiments on 1606 noncrystal and 245 likely leads images independently. We had satisfactory results for both datasets.
