Image Segmentation is one of the pivotal procedure in the field of imaging and its objective is to catch required boundaries inside an image. In this paper, we propose a novel active contour method based on anisotropic diffusion. Global regionbased active contour methods rely on global intensity information across the regions. However, these methods fail to produce desired segmentation results when an image has some background variations or noise. In this regard, we adapt Perona and Malik smoothing technique as enhancement step. This technique provides interregional smoothing, sharpens the boundaries and blurs the background of an image. Our main role is the formulation of a new SPF (signed pressure force) function, which uses global intensity information across the regions. Minimizing an energy function using partial differential framework produce results with semantically meaningful boundaries instead of capturing impassive regions. Finally, we use Gaussian kernel to eliminate problem of reinitialization in level set function. We use images taken from different modalities to validate the outcome of the proposed method. In the result section, we have evaluated that, the proposed method achieves good results qualitatively and quantitatively with high accuracy compared to other state-of-the-art models.

This paper presents a framework for inter-patient image registration which uses a multi-thresholds, multi-similarity measures and multi-transformations based on compactly supported spline and discrete periodic spline wavelets (DPSWs) using the Gauss-Newton gradient descent (GNGD) and gradient descent (GD) optimization methods. Our primary intellectual contribution is incorporating DPSWs in the transformation while another includes fusing out-of-range concept in a surface matching technique which is implemented by a multi-transformations and multi-similarity measures. In particular, as a true deformation cannot be achieved by single combination of transformation, similarity measure (SM) and optimization of a registration process, a moving image is required to be brought within the range of a registration. On the other hand, the surface matching technique involves an edge position difference (EPD) SM in which coarse to fine surfaces are matched using multiple thresholds with a spline-based free from deformation (FFD) method. The registration experiments were performed on 3D clinical neck magnetic resonance (MR) images, with the results showing that our proposed method provides good accuracy and robustness.

Railway power supply infrastructure is one of the most important components of railway transportation. As the key step of railway maintenance system, power supply infrastructure defects recognition plays a vital role in the whole defects inspection sub-system. Traditional defects recognition task is performed manually, which is time-consuming and high-labor costing. Inspired by the great success of deep neural networks in dealing with different vision tasks, this paper presents an end-to-end deep network to solve the railway infrastructure defects detection problem. More importantly, this paper is the first work that adopts the idea of deep fine-grained classification to do railway defects detection. We propose a new bilinear deep network named Spatial Transformer And Bilinear Low-Rank (STABLR) model and apply it to railway infrastructure defects detection. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms both hand-craft features based machine learning methods and classic deep neural network methods.

We present a family of image Slope Measures which are scale-free measures that are highest near image edges. They are defined at each pixel as the steepest of the (up, down, or bi-directional) intensity slopes to every other pixel. We list some useful mathematical properties such as intensity and rotation invariances and show a relationship to the maximal morphological dilations and erosions by cones. We discuss generalisations by using non-Euclidean distances or non-conical structuring functions, and extensions to colour, multi-spectral and higher-dimensional images. We present detailed pseudo-code for a fast doubly-recursive multi-resolution algorithm and give typical algorithm timings and visually demonstrate the measure as applied to standard test images. Reference C code for these algorithms is available on the internet at: https://github.com/xomexx/SlopeMeasures.

Travelogues consist of textual information shared by tourists through web forums or other social media which often lack illustrations (images). In image sharing websites like Flicker, users can post images with rich textual information: ‘title’, ‘tag’ and ‘description’. The topics of travelogues usually revolve around beautiful sceneries. Corresponding landscape images recommended to these travelogues can enhance the vividness of reading. However, it is difficult to fuse such information because the text attached to each image has diverse meanings/views. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised Hybrid Multiple Kernel K-means (HMKKM) model to link images and travelogues through multiple views. Multi-view matrices are built to reveal the correlations between several respects. For further improving the performance, we add a regularisation based on textual similarity. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a dataset is constructed from TripAdvisor and Flicker to find the related images for each travelogue. Experiment results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed model by comparison with other baselines.

Skeletal bone age assessment is a clinical practice to diagnose the maturity of children. To accurately assess the bone age, we proposed an automatic bone age assessment method in this paper based on deep convolution network. This method includes two stages: mask generation network and age assessment network. A U-Net convolution network with pretrained VGG16 as the encoder is used to extract the mask of bones. For the assessment module, the original images are fused together with the generated mask image to obtain segmented normalized hand bone images. We then built a multiple output convolution network for accurate age assessment. Finally, the bone age regression problem is transformed into the K-1 binary classification sub-problems. Our model was tested on RSNA2017 Pediatric Bone Age dataset. We were able to achieve the mean absolute error (MAE) of 5.98 months, which outperforms other common methods for bone age assessment. The proposed method could be used for developing fully automatic bone age assessment with better accuracy.

Hyperspectral remote sensing images use hundreds of bands to describe the fine spectral information of the ground area. However, they inevitably contain a large amount of redundancy as well as noisy bands. Discovering the most informative bands and modeling the relationship among the bands are effective means to process the data and improve the performance of the subsequent classification task. Attention mechanism is used in computer vision and natural language processing to guide the algorithm towards the most relevant information in the data. In this paper, we propose a band weighting network by designing and integrating an attention module in the traditional convolutional neural network for hyperspectral image classification. Our proposed band weighting network has the capability to model the relationship among the bands and weight them according to their joint contribution to classification. One prominent feature of our proposed method is that it can assign different weights to different samples. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our approach.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) can be detected using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based features and supervised classifiers. The subcortical and ventricular volumes change for AD patients. These volumes can be extracted from MRI by tools such as FreeSurfer and the multi-atlas-based likelihood fusion (MALF) algorithm. Studies use MRI from many medical imaging centers. However, individual centers typically use distinctive MRI protocols for brain scanning. The protocol differences include different scanner models with various operating parameters. Some scanner models have different field strengths. A key factor in classifying multicentric MR subject images having different protocols is how different scanner models affect the extraction of feature, and the subsequent classification performance of a supervised classifier. We have investigated the classification performance of FreeSurfer and MALF based volume features together with Radial Basis Function Support Vector Machine and Extreme Learning Machine across different imaging protocols. We have also investigated for both FreeSurfer and MALF, which brain regions are most effective for the detection of the disease under different protocols. Our study result indicates marginal differences in classification performance across scanner models with the same or different field strengths when differentiating AD, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Normal Controls. We have also observed differences in ranking order of the most effective brain regions.

We present a new energy-efficient distance sensing method for 3D object tracking with Time-of-Flight sensors. The field of 3D object tracking with 3D cameras recently gained momentum due to the advent of front-facing depth cameras in smartphones. Tracking the user's head with 3D cameras will enable novel user experiences, but can lead to power consumption issues due to the active illumination. State-of-the-art continuous-wave Time-of-Flight imaging requires at least four different phase-images, while our approach can produce 3D measurements from single phase-images. This reduces the amount of emitted light to a minimum, improves latency and enables higher framerates. As our evaluation shows, after a brief initialization phase, our method can reduce the power consumption of a Time-of-Flight system by up to 68%.

CNN methods for image super-resolution consume a large number of training-time memory, due to the feature size will not decrease as the network goes deeper. To reduce the memory consumption during training, we propose a memory optimized deep dense network for image super-resolution. We first reduce redundant features learning, by rationally designing the skip connection and dense connection in the network. Then we adopt share memory allocations to store concatenated features and Batch Normalization intermediate feature maps. The memory optimized network consumes less memory than normal dense network. We also evaluate our proposed architecture on highly competitive super-resolution benchmark datasets. Our deep dense network outperforms some existing methods, and requires relatively less computation.
