Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid malignancy in early childhood. Optimal management of neuroblastoma depends on many factors, including histopathological classification. Although histopathology study is considered the gold standard for classification of neuroblastoma histological images, computers can help to extract many more features some of which may not be recognizable by human eyes. This paper, proposes a combination of Scale Invariant Feature Transform with feature encoding algorithm to extract highly discriminative features. Then, distinctive image features are classified by Support Vector Machine classifier into five clinically relevant classes. The advantage of our model is extracting features which are more robust to scale variation compared to the Patched Completed Local Binary Pattern and Completed Local Binary Pattern methods. We gathered a database of 1043 histologic images of neuroblastic tumours classified into five subtypes. Our approach identified features that outperformed the state-of-the-art on both our neuroblastoma dataset and a benchmark breast cancer dataset. Our method shows promise for classification of neuroblastoma histological images.

Abstract Monitoring fish stocks and fleets’ activities is key for Marine Spatial Planning. In recent years Vessel Monitoring System and Automatic Identification System have been developed for vessels longer than 12 and 15m in length, respectively, while small scale vessels (< 12m in length) remain untracked and largely unregulated, even though they account for 83% of all fishing activity in the Mediterranean Sea. In this paper we present an architecture that makes use of a low-cost LoRa/cellular network to acquire and process positioning data from small scale vessels, and a feature encoding approach that can be easily extended to process and map small scale fisheries. The feature encoding method uses a Markov chain to model transitions between successive behavioural states (e.g., fishing, steaming) of each vessel and classify its activity. The approach is evaluated using k-fold and Leave One Boat Out cross-validations and, in both cases, it results in significant improvements in the classification of fishing activities. The use of a such low-cost and open source technology coupled to artificial intelligence could open up potential for more integrated and transparent platforms to inform coastal resource and fisheries management, and cross-border marine spatial planning. It enables a new monitoring strategy that could effectively include small-scale fleets and support the design of new policies oriented to the optimal use of marine resources.

Individual identification process is a very significant process that resides a large portion of day by day usages. Identification process is appropriate in work place, private zones, banks …etc. Individuals are rich subject having many characteristics that can be used for recognition purpose such as finger vein, iris, face …etc. Finger vein and iris key-points are considered as one of the most talented biometric authentication techniques for its security and convenience. SIFT is new and talented technique for pattern recognition. However, some shortages exist in many related techniques, such as difficulty of feature loss, feature key extraction, and noise point introduction. In this manuscript a new technique named SIFT-based iris and SIFT-based finger vein identification with normalization and enhancement is proposed for achieving better performance. In evaluation with other SIFT-based iris or SIFT-based finger vein recognition algorithms, the suggested technique can overcome the difficulties of tremendous key-point extraction and exclude the noise points without feature loss. Experimental results demonstrate that the normalization and improvement steps are critical for SIFT-based recognition for iris and finger vein , and the proposed technique can accomplish satisfactory recognition performance. Keywords: SIFT, Iris Recognition, Finger Vein identification and Biometric Systems.   © 2018 JASET, International Scholars and Researchers Association
