Automatic Latent Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) are most widely used by forensic experts in law enforcement and criminal investigations. One of the critical steps used in automatic latent fingerprint matching is to automatically extract reliable minutiae from fingerprint images. Hence, minutiae extraction is considered to be a very important step in AFIS. The performance of such systems relies heavily on the quality of the input fingerprint images. Most of the state-of-the-art AFIS failed to produce good matching results due to poor ridge patterns and the presence of background noise. To ensure the robustness of fingerprint matching against low quality latent fingerprint images, it is essential to include a good fingerprint enhancement algorithm before minutiae extraction and matching. In this paper, we have proposed an end-to-end fingerprint matching system to automatically enhance, extract minutiae, and produce matching results. To achieve this, we have proposed a method to automatically enhance the poor-quality fingerprint images using the “Automated Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN)” and “Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)” filters. The Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) produces a frequency enhanced map from fingerprint domain knowledge. We propose an “FFT Enhancement” algorithm to enhance and extract the ridges from the frequency enhanced map. Minutiae from the enhanced ridges are automatically extracted using a proposed “Automated Latent Minutiae Extractor (ALME)”. Based on the extracted minutiae, the fingerprints are automatically aligned, and a matching score is calculated using a proposed “Frequency Enhanced Minutiae Matcher (FEMM)” algorithm. Experiments are conducted on FVC2002, FVC2004, and NIST SD27 latent fingerprint databases. The minutiae extraction results show significant improvement in precision, recall, and F1 scores. We obtained the highest Rank-1 identification rate of 100% for FVC2002/2004 and 84.5% for NIST SD27 fingerprint databases. The matching results reveal that the proposed system outperforms state-of-the-art systems.

Pests are major threat to economic growth of a country. Application of pesticide is the easiest way to control the pest infection. However, excessive utilization of pesticide is hazardous to environment. The recent advances in deep learning have paved the way for early detection and improved classification of pest in tomato plants which will benefit the farmers. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of 11 state-of-the-art deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models with three configurations: transfers learning, fine-tuning and scratch learning. The training in transfer learning and fine tuning initiates from pre-trained weights whereas random weights are used in case of scratch learning. In addition, the concept of data augmentation has been explored to improve the performance. Our dataset consists of 859 tomato pest images from 10 categories. The results demonstrate that the highest classification accuracy of 94.87% has been achieved in the transfer learning approach by DenseNet201 model with data augmentation.

AbstractCytometry technologies are essential tools for immunology research, providing high-throughput measurements of the immune cells at the single-cell level. Traditional approaches in interpreting and using cytometry measurements include manual or automated gating to identify cell subsets from the cytometry data, providing highly intuitive results but may lead to significant information loss, in that additional details in measured or correlated cell signals might be missed. In this study, we propose and test a deep convolutional neural network for analyzing cytometry data in an end-to-end fashion, allowing a direct association between raw cytometry data and the clinical outcome of interest. Using nine large CyTOF studies from the open-access ImmPort database, we demonstrated that the deep convolutional neural network model can accurately diagnose the latent cytomegalovirus (CMV) in healthy individuals, even when using highly heterogeneous data from different studies. In addition, we developed a permutation-based method for interpreting the deep convolutional neural network model and identified a CD27-CD94+ CD8+ T cell population significantly associated with latent CMV infection. Finally, we provide a tutorial for creating, training and interpreting the tailored deep learning model for cytometry data using Keras and TensorFlow (github.com/hzc363/DeepLearningCyTOF).

Pedestrian detection aims to localize and recognize every pedestrian instance in an image with a bounding box. The current state-of-the-art method is Faster RCNN, which is such a network that uses a region proposal network (RPN) to generate high quality region proposals, while Fast RCNN is used to classifiers extract features into corresponding categories. The contribution of this paper is integrated low-level features and high-level features into a Faster RCNN-based pedestrian detection framework, which efficiently increase the capacity of the feature. Through our experiments, we comprehensively evaluate our framework, on the Caltech pedestrian detection benchmark and our methods achieve state-of-the-art accuracy and present a competitive result on Caltech dataset.
