Comparison Results

Automatic detection and recognition of traffic signs from images is an important topic in many applications. At first, we segmented the images using a classification algorithm to delineate the areas where the signs are more likely to be found. In this regard, shadows, objects having similar colours, and extreme illumination changes can significantly affect the segmentation results. We propose a new shape-based algorithm to improve the accuracy of the segmentation. The algorithm works by incorporating the sign geometry to filter out the wrong pixels from the classification results. We performed several tests to compare the performance of our algorithm against those obtained by popular techniques such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Means, and K-Nearest Neighbours. In these tests, to overcome the unwanted illumination effects, the images are transformed into colour spaces Hue, Saturation, and Intensity, YUV, normalized red green blue, and Gaussian. Among the traditional techniques used in this study, the best results were obtained with SVM applied to the images transformed into the Gaussian colour space. The comparison results also suggested that by adding the geometric constraints proposed in this study, the quality of sign image segmentation is improved by 10%–25%. We also comparted the SVM classifier enhanced by incorporating the geometry of signs with a U-Shaped deep learning algorithm. Results suggested the performance of both techniques is very close. Perhaps the deep learning results could be improved if a more comprehensive data set is provided.

Abstract Background Common subtypes seen in Chinese patients with membranous nephropathy (MN) include idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) and hepatitis B virus-related membranous nephropathy (HBV-MN). However, the morphologic differences are not visible under the light microscope in certain renal biopsy tissues. Methods We propose here a deep learning-based framework for processing hyperspectral images of renal biopsy tissue to define the difference between IMN and HBV-MN based on the component of their immune complex deposition. Results The proposed framework can achieve an overall accuracy of 95.04% in classification, which also leads to better performance than support vector machine (SVM)-based algorithms. Conclusion IMN and HBV-MN can be correctly separated via the deep learning framework using hyperspectral imagery. Our results suggest the potential of the deep learning algorithm as a new method to aid in the diagnosis of MN.

Deep learning methods have led to a state of the art medical applications, such as image classification and segmentation. The data-driven deep learning application can help stakeholders to collaborate. However, limited labelled data set limits the deep learning algorithm to generalize for one domain into another. To handle the problem, meta-learning helps to learn from a small set of data. We proposed a meta learning-based image segmentation model that combines the learning of the state-of-the-art model and then used it to achieve domain adoption and high accuracy. Also, we proposed a prepossessing algorithm to increase the usability of the segments part and remove noise from the new test image. The proposed model can achieve 0.94 precision and 0.92 recall. The ability to increase 3.3% among the state-of-the-art algorithms.

In recent years, the outstanding performance of deep learning in classification and behavior prediction based on massive data makes people begin to study how to use deep learning technology. Therefore, this paper attempts to apply deep learning to intrusion detection to learn and classify network attacks. Aiming at the nsl-kdd data set, this paper first uses the traditional classification methods and several different deep learning algorithms for learning classification. This paper deeply analyzes the correlation among data sets, algorithm characteristics and experimental classification results, and finds out the deep learning algorithm which is relatively good at. Then, a normalized coding algorithm is proposed. The experimental results show that the algorithm can improve the detection accuracy and reduce the false alarm rate.

Atherosclerotic Lesions

Background: Optical coherence tomography is a powerful modality to assess atherosclerotic lesions, but detecting lesions in high-resolution OCT is challenging and requires expert knowledge. Deep-learning algorithms can be used to automatically identify atherosclerotic lesions, facilitating identification of patients at risk. We trained a deep-learning algorithm (DeepAD) with co-registered, annotated histopathology to predict atherosclerotic lesions in optical coherence tomography (OCT).Methods: Two datasets were used for training DeepAD: (i) a histopathology data set from 7 autopsy cases with 62 OCT frames and co-registered histopathology for high quality manual annotation and (ii) a clinical data set from 51 patients with 222 OCT frames in which manual annotations were based on clinical expertise only. A U-net based deep convolutional neural network (CNN) ensemble was employed as an atherosclerotic lesion prediction algorithm. Results were analyzed using intersection over union (IOU) for segmentation.Results: DeepAD showed good performance regarding the prediction of atherosclerotic lesions, with a median IOU of 0.68 ± 0.18 for segmentation of atherosclerotic lesions. Detection of calcified lesions yielded an IOU = 0.34. When training the algorithm without histopathology-based annotations, a performance drop of >0.25 IOU was observed. The practical application of DeepAD was evaluated retrospectively in a clinical cohort (n = 11 cases), showing high sensitivity as well as specificity and similar performance when compared to manual expert analysis.Conclusion: Automated detection of atherosclerotic lesions in OCT is improved using a histopathology-based deep-learning algorithm, allowing accurate detection in the clinical setting. An automated decision-support tool based on DeepAD could help in risk prediction and guide interventional treatment decisions.

We use the deep learning algorithm to learn the Reissner–Nordström (RN) black hole metric by building a deep neural network. Plenty of data are determined in boundary of AdS and we propagate them to the black hole horizon through AdS metric and equation of motion (e.o.m). We label these data according to the values near the horizon, and together with initial data they constitute a data set. Then we construct corresponding deep neural network and train it with the data set to obtain the Reissner–Nordström (RN) black hole metric. Finally, we discuss the effects of learning rate, batch-size and initialization on the training process.

Abnormal Pattern

Building a pattern detection model using a deep learning algorithm for data collected from manufacturing sites is an effective way for to perform decision-making and assess business feasibility for enterprises, by providing the results and implications of the patterns analysis of big data occurring at manufacturing sites. To identify the threshold of the abnormal pattern requires collaboration between data analysts and manufacturing process experts, but it is practically difficult and time-consuming. This paper suggests how to derive the threshold setting of the abnormal pattern without manual labelling by process experts, and offers a prediction algorithm to predict the potentials of future failures in advance by using the hybrid Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)–Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm, and the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) technique. We found that it is easier to detect abnormal patterns that cannot be found in the existing time domain after preprocessing the data set through FFT. Our study shows that both train loss and test loss were well developed, with near zero convergence with the lowest loss rate compared to existing models such as LSTM. Our proposition for the model and our method of preprocessing the data greatly helps in understanding the abnormal pattern of unlabeled big data produced at the manufacturing site, and can be a strong foundation for detecting the threshold of the abnormal pattern of big data occurring at manufacturing sites.

BACKGROUND: Grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) has a certain resistance to contrast light, which makes the boundary of the imaging image unclear. OBJECTIVE: Because of this, an image processing algorithm is needed to process the contrast image to study the role of GSPE in the process of anti-ultraviolet. METHODS: In this paper, the fuzzy edges of contrast images were processed by deep learning algorithm, and the changes of VEGF and PEDF expression in HaCaT cells before and after UVA irradiation and after GSPE intervention were studied. RESULTS: The experiment results show that after processing, the edge and boundary of the image become clear and separable, which can be used to compare and analyze the test process. The image comparison results show that GSPE can down regulate the expression of VEGF gene and protein, and up regulate the expression of PEDF gene and protein. The synergistic effect of GSPE and GSPE can inhibit angiogenesis. It is confirmed that GSPE has the effect of anti-ultraviolet ray induced early angiogenesis.
