This paper proposes two new data augmentation approaches based on Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGANs) and Style Transfer for augmenting Parkinson’s Disease (PD) electromyography (EMG) signals. The experimental results indicate that the proposed models can adapt to different frequencies and amplitudes of tremor, simulating each patient’s tremor patterns and extending them to different sets of movement protocols. Therefore, one could use these models for extending the existing patient dataset and generating tremor simulations for validating treatment approaches on different movement scenarios.

Radiomics converts medical images into mineable data via a high-throughput extraction of quantitative features used for clinical decision support. However, these radiomic features are susceptible to variation across scanners, acquisition protocols, and reconstruction settings. Various investigations have assessed the reproducibility and validation of radiomic features across these discrepancies. In this narrative review, we combine systematic keyword searches with prior domain knowledge to discuss various harmonization solutions to make the radiomic features more reproducible across various scanners and protocol settings. Different harmonization solutions are discussed and divided into two main categories: image domain and feature domain. The image domain category comprises methods such as the standardization of image acquisition, post-processing of raw sensor-level image data, data augmentation techniques, and style transfer. The feature domain category consists of methods such as the identification of reproducible features and normalization techniques such as statistical normalization, intensity harmonization, ComBat and its derivatives, and normalization using deep learning. We also reflect upon the importance of deep learning solutions for addressing variability across multi-centric radiomic studies especially using generative adversarial networks (GANs), neural style transfer (NST) techniques, or a combination of both. We cover a broader range of methods especially GANs and NST methods in more detail than previous reviews.

Abstract Background and Aims Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is among the most common causes for kidney transplant loss. The histological diagnosis is hampered by significant intra- and interobserver variability. Training a deep learning classifier for the recognition of AMR on glomerular transections as the most decisive compartment could establish a reliable and perfectly reproducible diagnostic method. Method We identified 48 biopsies with AMR (all positive for donor-specific antibody) and 38 biopsies without AMR according to Banff 2017 from our archive. Photographs were taken from all non-globally sclerosed glomeruli on two PAS-stained level sections, yielding a total of 1,655 images as a training set. 1,503 images could be labeled by three experienced nephropathologists conclusively as AMR or non-AMR in a blinded fashion. We trained a DenseNet-121 classifier (pre-trained on ImageNet) with basic online augmentation. In addition, we implemented StyPath++, a data augmentation algorithm that leverages a style transfer mechanism, addressing significant domain shifts in histopathology. Each sample was assigned a consensus label generated by the pathologists. Results Five-fold cross validation schemes produced a weighted glomerular level performance of 88.1%, exceeding the baseline performance by 5%. The improved generalization ability of the StyPath++ augmented model shows that it is possible to construct reliable glomerular classification algorithms with scarce datasets. Conclusion We created a deep learning classifier with excellent performance and reproducibility for the diagnosis of AMR on glomerular transections. We plan to expand the training set, including challenging cases of differential diagnoses like glomerulonephritis or other glomerulopathies. We are also interested in external clinicopathological datasets to further validate our results.

The preservation of Balinese carving data is a challenge in recognition of Balinese carving. Balinese carvings are a cultural heritage found in traditional buildings in Bali. The collection of Balinese carving images from public images can be a solution for preserving cultural heritage. However, the lousy quality of taking photographs, e.g., skewed shots, can affect the recognition results. Research on the Balinese carving recognition has existed but only recognizes a predetermined image. We proposed a Neural Style Geometric Transformation (NSGT) as a data augmentation technique for Balinese carvings recognition. NSGT is combining Neural Style Transfers and Geometric Transformations for a small dataset solution. This method provides variations in color, lighting, rotation, rescale, zoom, and the size of the training dataset, to improve recognition performance. We use MobileNet as a feature extractor because it has a small number of parameters, which makes it suitable to be applied on mobile devices. Eight scenarios were tested based on image styles and geometric transformations to get the best results. Based on the results, the proposed method can improve accuracy by up to 16.2%.

3D reconstruction is one of the most challenging but also most necessary part of computer vision. It is generally applied everywhere, from remote sensing to medical imaging and multimedia. Wide Area Motion Imagery is a field that has gained traction over the recent years. It consists in using an airborne large field of view sensor to cover a typically over a square kilometer area for each captured image. This is particularly valuable data for analysis but the amount of information is overwhelming for any human analyst. Algorithms to efficiently and automatically extract information are therefore needed and 3D reconstruction plays a critical part in it, along with detection and tracking. This dissertation work presents novel reconstruction algorithms to compute a 3D probabilistic space, a set of experiments to efficiently extract photo realistic 3D point clouds and a range of transformations for possible applications of the generated 3D data to filtering, data compression and mapping. The algorithms have been successfully tested on our own datasets provided by Transparent Sky and this thesis work also proposes methods to evaluate accuracy, completeness and photo-consistency. The generated data has been successfully used to improve detection and tracking performances, and allows data compression and extrapolation by generating synthetic images from new point of view, and data augmentation with the inferred occlusion areas.
