Segmentation Approach

In this article the new hybrid iris image segmentation method based on convolutional neural networks and mathematical methods is proposed. Iris boundaries are found using modified Daugman’s method. Two UNet-based convolutional neural networks are used for iris mask detection. The first one is used to predict the preliminary iris mask including the areas of the pupil, eyelids and some eyelashes. The second neural network is applied to the enlarged image to specify thin ends of eyelashes. Then the principal curvatures method is used to combine the predicted by neural networks masks and to detect eyelashes correctly. The pro- posed segmentation algorithm is tested using images from CASIA IrisV4 Interval database. The results of the proposed method are evaluated by the Intersection over Union, Recall and Precision metrics. The average metrics values are 0.922, 0.957 and 0.962, respectively. The proposed hy- brid iris image segmentation approach demonstrates an improvement in comparison with the methods that use only neural networks.

Segmentation Approach

In this paper, the design of advanced road structure image segmentation approach using stroke width transformation (SWT) in convolution neural network (CNN) is proposed. The main intent of the proposed system is to acquire the aerial images for the vehicle. Basically, this image segmentation performs its operation in two forms they are operating phase and learning phase. Here the aerial image has enhanced by using the SWT transformation. Hence the main advantage of this proposes system is that it processes the entire operation in simple way with high speed. The SWT will capture the images of road areas in effective way. Hence the propose system has various features which will determine the color, width and many other.

Unsupervised Image Segmentation

In this article the new hybrid algorithm for palm vein image segmentation using convolutional neural network and principal curvatures is proposed. After palm vein image preprocessing vein structure is detected using unsupervised learning approach based on W-Net architecture, that ties together into a single autoencoder two fully convolutional neural network architectures, each simi-lar to the U-Net. Then segmentation results are improved using principal cur-vatures technique. Some vein points with highest maximum principal curva-ture values are selected, and the other vein points are found by moving from starting points along the direction of minimum principal curvature. To obtain the final vein image segmentation the result of intersection of the principal curvatures-based and neural network-based segmentations is taken. The evaluation of the proposed unsupervised image segmentation method based on palm vein recognition results using multilobe differential filters is given. Test results using CASIA multi-spectral palmprint image database show the effectiveness of the proposed segmentation approach.

This paper has considered a model of image segmentation using convolutional neural networks and studied the process efficiency based on models involving training the deep layers of convolutional neural networks. There are objective difficulties associated with determining the optimal characteristics of neural networks, so there is an issue related to retraining the neural network. Eliminating retraining by determining the optimal number of epochs only would not suffice since it does not provide high accuracy. The requirements for the set of images for training and model verification were defined. These requirements are best met by the image sets PASCAL VOC (United Kingdom) and NVIDIA-Aerial Drone (USA). It has been established that AlexNet (Canada) is a trained model and could perform image segmentation while object recognition reliability is insufficient. Therefore, there is a need to improve the efficiency of image segmentation. It is advisable to use the AlexNet architecture to build a specialized model, which, by changing the parameters and retraining some layers, would allow for a better process of image segmentation. Five models have been trained using the following parameters: learning speed, the number of epochs, optimization algorithm, the type of learning speed change, a gamma coefficient, a pre-trained model. A convolutional neural network has been developed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of image segmentation. Optimal neural network training parameters have been determined: learning speed is 0.0001, the number of epochs is 50, a gamma coefficient is 0.1, etc. An increase in accuracy by 3 % was achieved, which makes it possible to assert the correctness of the choice of the architecture for the developed network and the selection of parameters. That allows this network to be used for practical tasks related to image segmentation, in particular for devices with limited computing resources

Specification Method

We propose a keyword specification method for images, which can be used to retrieve an image by a keyword. In order to specify a keyword for a sub-region of the image, images are segmented in some regions. Here, we consider ten keywords to specify the regions. The image segmentation method consists of the maximum-distance algorithm, labeling, and merging the small regions. We provide training regions for each keyword. Important features of the keyword are selected using the Factor Analysis (FA). The features are compressed into a two-dimensional space using a Sandglass-type Neural Network (SNN). We train the SNN using the training dataset. Then 60 samples of the testing dataset are evaluated by keywords extraction.

Background: Valvular heart disease is a serious disease leading to mortality and increasing medical care cost. The aortic valve is the most common valve affected by this disease. Doctors rely on echocardiogram for diagnosing and evaluating valvular heart disease. However, the images from echocardiogram are poor in comparison to Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan. This study proposes the development of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) that can function optimally during a live echocardiographic examination for detection of the aortic valve. An automated detection system in an echocardiogram will improve the accuracy of medical diagnosis and can provide further medical analysis from the resulting detection. Methods: Two detection architectures, Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD) and Faster Regional based Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN) with various feature extractors were trained on echocardiography images from 33 patients. Thereafter, the models were tested on 10 echocardiography videos. Results: Faster R-CNN Inception v2 had shown the highest accuracy (98.6%) followed closely by SSD Mobilenet v2. In terms of speed, SSD Mobilenet v2 resulted in a loss of 46.81% in framesper- second (fps) during real-time detection but managed to perform better than the other neural network models. Additionally, SSD Mobilenet v2 used the least amount of Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) but the Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage was relatively similar throughout all models. Conclusion: Our findings provide a foundation for implementing a convolutional detection system to echocardiography for medical purposes.

We present a sample-efficient image segmentation method using active learning, we call it Active Bayesian UNet, or AB-UNet. This is a convolutional neural network using batch normalization and max-pool dropout. The Bayesian setup is achieved by exploiting the probabilistic extension of the dropout mechanism, leading to the possibility to use the uncertainty inherently present in the system. We set up our experiments on various medical image datasets and highlight that with a smaller annotation effort our AB-UNet leads to stable training and better generalization. Added to this, we can efficiently choose from an unlabelled dataset.
