The human hand has been considered a promising component for biometric-based identification and authentication systems for many decades. In this paper, hand side recognition framework is proposed based on deep learning and biometric authentication using the hashing method. The proposed approach performs in three phases: (a) hand image segmentation and enhancement by morphological filtering, automatic thresholding, and active contour deformation, (b) hand side recognition based on deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and (c) biometric authentication based on the hashing method. The proposed framework is evaluated using a very large hand dataset, which consists of 11076 hand images, including left/ right and dorsal/ palm hand images for 190 persons. Finally, the experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed framework in both dorsal-palm and left-right recognition with an average accuracy of 96.24 and 98.26, respectively, using a completely automated computer program.

Preliminary Study

With the increasing daily workload of physicians, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems based on deep learning play an increasingly important role in pattern recognition of diagnostic medical images. In this paper, we propose a framework based on hierarchical convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automatic detection and classification of focal liver lesions (FLLs) in multi-phasic computed tomography (CT). A total of 616 nodules, composed of three types of malignant lesions (hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and metastasis) and benign lesions (hemangioma, focal nodular hyperplasia, and cyst), were randomly divided into training and test sets at an approximate ratio of 3:1. To evaluate the performance of our model, other commonly adopted CNN models and two physicians were included for comparison. Our model achieved the best results to detect FLLs, with an average test precision of 82.8%, recall of 93.4%, and F1-score of 87.8%. Our model initially classified FLLs into malignant and benign and then classified them into more detailed classes. For the binary and six-class classification, our model achieved average accuracy results of 82.5 and73.4%, respectively, which were better than the other three classification neural networks. Interestingly, the classification performance of the model was placed between a junior physician and a senior physician. Overall, this preliminary study demonstrates that our proposed multi-modality and multi-scale CNN structure can locate and classify FLLs accurately in a limited dataset, and would help inexperienced physicians to reach a diagnosis in clinical practice.

Abstract We present in this paper the application of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which is a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) approach in machine learning, for automated time-independent prediction of burn depth. Color images of four types of burn depth injured in first few days, including normal skin and background, acquired by a TiVi camera were trained and tested with four pretrained deep CNNs: VGG-16, GoogleNet, ResNet-50, and ResNet-101. In the end, the best 10-fold cross-validation results obtained from ResNet-101 with an average, minimum, and maximum accuracy are 81.66, 72.06, and 88.06%, respectively; and the average accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for the four different types of burn depth are 90.54, 74.35, and 94.25%, respectively. The accuracy was compared with the clinical diagnosis obtained after the wound had healed. Hence, application of AI is very promising for prediction of burn depth and, therefore, can be a useful tool to help in guiding clinical decision and initial treatment of burn wounds.

Straightforward Approach

Classification of degraded images is very important in practice because images are usually degraded by compression, noise, blurring, etc. Nevertheless, most of the research in image classification only focuses on clean images without any degradation. Some papers have already proposed deep convolutional neural networks composed of an image restoration network and a classification network to classify degraded images. This paper proposes an alternative approach in which we use a degraded image and an additional degradation parameter for classification. The proposed classification network has two inputs which are the degraded image and the degradation parameter. The estimation network of degradation parameters is also incorporated if degradation parameters of degraded images are unknown. The experimental results showed that the proposed method outperforms a straightforward approach where the classification network is trained with degraded images only.

Plaque Detection

In this paper, an accurate two-stage deep learning method is proposed to detect vulnerable plaques in ultrasonic images of cardiovascular. Firstly, a Fully Convonutional Neural Network (FCN) named U-Net is used to segment the original Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography (IVOCT) cardiovascular images. We experiment on different threshold values to find the best threshold for removing noise and background in the original images. Secondly, a modified Faster RCNN is adopted to do precise detection. The modified Faster R-CNN utilize six-scale anchors (122,162,322,642,1282,2562) instead of the conventional one scale or three scale approaches. First, we present three problems in cardiovascular vulnerable plaque diagnosis, then we demonstrate how our method solve these problems. The proposed method in this paper apply deep convolutional neural networks to the whole diagnostic procedure. Test results show the Recall rate, Precision rate, IoU (Intersection-over-Union) rate and Total score are 0.94, 0.885, 0.913 and 0.913 respectively, higher than the 1st team of CCCV2017 Cardiovascular OCT Vulnerable Plaque Detection Challenge. AP of the designed Faster RCNN is 83.4%, higher than conventional approaches which use one-scale or three-scale anchors. These results demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed method and the power of deep learning approaches in diagnose cardiovascular vulnerable plaques.
