IR-MF-SVMe: Image Retrieval using Multiple Features Extraction with Support Vector Machine ensemble

Image representation is a widespread strategy of image retrieval based on appearance, shape information. The traditional feature representation methods ignore hidden information that exists in the dataset samples; it reduces the discriminative performance of the classifier and excludes various geometric and photometric variations consideration in obtaining the features; these degrade retrieval performance. Hence, proposed multiple features fusion and Support Vector Machines Ensemble (IR-MF-SVMe); an Image Retrieval framework to enhance the performance of the retrieval process. The Color Histogram (CH), Color Auto-Correlogram (CAC), Color Moments (CM), Gabor Wavelet (GW), and Wavelet Moments (WM) descriptors are used to extract multiple features that separate the element vectors of images in representation. The multi-class classifier is constructed with the aggregation of binary Support Vector Machines, which decrease the count of false positives within the interrelated semantic classes. The proposed framework is validated on the WANG dataset and results in the accuracy of 84% for the individual features and 86% for the fused features related to the state-of-the-arts.

NIMG-52. RADIOGENOMICS SIGNATURES IN KEY DRIVER GENES IN GLIOBLASTOMA EVALUATED WITH AND WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF CO-OCCURRING MUTATIONS

PURPOSE Glioblastomas display significant heterogeneity on the molecular level, typically harboring several co-occurring mutations, which likely contributes to failure of molecularly targeted therapeutic approaches. Radiogenomics has emerged as a promising tool for in vivo characterization of this heterogeneity. We derive radiogenomic signatures of four mutations via machine learning (ML) analysis of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and evaluate them in the presence and absence of other co-occurring mutations. METHODS We identified a retrospective cohort of 359 IDH-wildtype glioblastoma patients, with available pre-operative mpMRI (T1, T1Gd, T2, T2-FLAIR) scans and targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) data. Radiomic features, including morphologic, histogram, texture, and Gabor wavelet descriptors, were extracted from the mpMRI. Multivariate predictive models were trained using cross-validated SVM with LASSO feature selection to predict mutation status in key driver genes, EGFR, PTEN, TP53, and NF1. ML models and spatial population atlases of genetic mutations were generated for stratification of the tumors (1) with co-occurring mutations versus wildtypes, (2) with exclusive mutations in each driver gene versus the tumors without any mutations in the pathways associated with these genes. RESULTS ML models yielded AUCs of 0.75 (95%CI:0.62-0.88) / 0.87 (95%CI:0.70-1) for co-occurring / exclusive EGFR mutations, 0.69 (95%CI:0.58-0.80) / 0.80 (95%CI:0.61-0.99) for co-occurring / exclusive PTEN mutations, and 0.77 (95%CI:0.65-0.88) / 0.86 (95%CI:0.69-1) for co-occurring / exclusive TP53 cases. Spatial atlases revealed a predisposition of left temporal lobe for NF1 and right frontotemporal region for TP53 in mutually exclusive tumors, which was not observed in the co-occurring mutation atlases. CONCLUSION Our results suggest the presence of distinct radiogenomic signatures of several glioblastoma mutations, which become even more pronounced when respective mutations do not co-occur with other mutations. These in vivo signatures can contribute to pre-operative stratification of patients for molecular targeted therapies, and potentially longitudinal monitoring of mutational changes during treatment.

Objective evaluation of optical illusion skirt based on image texture features

PurposeNowadays, most methods of illusion garment evaluation are based on the subjective evaluation of experienced practitioners, which consumes time and the results are too subjective to be accurate enough. It is necessary to explore a method that can quantify professional experience into objective indicators to evaluate the sensory comfort of the optical illusion skirt quickly and accurately. The purpose of this paper is to propose a method to objectively evaluate the sensory comfort of optical illusion skirt patterns by combining texture feature extraction and prediction model construction.Design/methodology/approachFirstly, 10 optical illusion sample skirts are produced, and 10 experimental images are collected for each sample skirt. Then a Likert five-level evaluation scale is designed to obtain the sensory comfort level of each skirt through the questionnaire survey. Synchronously, the coarseness, contrast, directionality, line-likeness, regularity and roughness of the sample image are calculated based on Tamura texture feature algorithm, and the mean, contrast and entropy are extracted of the image transformed by Gabor wavelet. Both are set as objective parameters. Two final indicators T1 and T2 are refined from the objective parameters previously obtained to construct the predictive model of the subjective comfort of the visual illusion skirt. The linear regression model and the MLP neural network model are constructed.FindingsResults show that the accuracy of the linear regression model is 92%, and prediction accuracy of the MLP neural network model is 97.9%. It is feasible to use Tamura texture features, Gabor wavelet transform and MLP neural network methods to objectively predict the sensory comfort of visual illusion skirt images.Originality/valueCompared with the existing uncertain and non-reproducible subjective evaluation of optical illusion clothing based on experienced experts. The main advantage of the authors' method is that this method can objectively obtain evaluation parameters, quickly and accurately obtain evaluation grades without repeated evaluation by experienced experts. It is a method of objectively quantifying the experience of experts.

Arbitrarily Oriented Phase Randomization of Design Ground Motions by Continuous Wavelets

For dynamic analysis in seismic design, selection of input ground motions is of huge importance. In the presented scheme, complex Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) is utilized to simulate stochastic ground motions from historical records of earthquakes with phase disturbance arbitrarily localized in time-frequency domain. The complex arguments of wavelet coefficients are determined as phase spectrum and an innovative formulation is constructed to improve computational efficiency of inverse wavelet transform with a pair of random complex arguments introduced and make more candidate wavelets available in the article. The proposed methodology is evaluated by numerical simulations on a two-degree-of-freedom system including spectral analysis and dynamic analysis with Shannon wavelet basis and Gabor wavelet basis. The result shows that the presented scheme enables time-frequency range of disturbance in time-frequency domain arbitrarily oriented and complex Shannon wavelet basis is verified as the optimal candidate mother wavelet for the procedure in case of frequency information maintenance with phase perturbation.

Pedestrian Attribute Recognition using Gabor Wavelet Layers

We address the problem of Pedestrian Attribute Recognition (PAR) in this paper. Owing to the presence of surveillance cameras in almost all outdoor and indoor public spaces, keeping and eye on pedestrian is a sought-after task with many useful applications. The problem entails recognizing attributes such as age-group, clothing style, accessories, footwear style etc. This is a multi-label problem and challenging even for human observers. We propose using a convolution neural network (CNN) with trainable Gabor wavelets (TGW) layers. The proposed layers are learnable and adapt to the dataset for a better recognition. The proposed multi-branch neural network is a mix of TGW and convolutional layers and we show its effectiveness on a public dataset.

Biometric system is a development of the basic method of identification system by using the characteristics of humans as it’s object. These include face, fingerprints, signature, palms, iris, ears, sounds even DNA. Face recognition is one of the identification techniques in biometrics that uses part of the face as its parameter. One of the biometric parts of face is Iris. Iris is a unique part of the eyes, this is because the pattern of the somebody eyes will be quite different from the other, even genetically identical twins have different iris patterns. This research will use the Hough and Gabor method to perform iris recognition. The results show that the application has succeeded in recognizing the selected eye image if the eye image is registered in the database.

Personality Trait Detection Based on ASM Localization and Deep Learning

Global competition is the competition of human resources, the social demand for high-quality talents is increasing, and the demand for all kinds of talents is increasing. Therefore, how to scientifically and efficiently complete the preliminary screening of college students’ mental health, so as to provide services for them, has become an important task. In order to solve the above problems, by combining the relevant professional knowledge of psychology, statistics, image processing, and artificial intelligence technology, a personality trait detection method based on active shape model (ASM) localization and deep learning is proposed. Firstly, the traditional ASM algorithm is improved and applied to facial feature point location, which provides training basis for further deep learning. It mainly includes three aspects of improvement: (1) 2D texture model based on Gabor wavelet and gradient features; (2) new multiresolution pyramid decomposition method; and (3) improved multiresolution pyramid search strategy. Secondly, the deep belief network model is used to train and classify the students’ four personality traits and facial features, so as to dig out the relationship between the four personality traits and facial features. The experimental results show that the localization effect of the improved ASM algorithm is obviously better than that of the traditional algorithm, and the classifier after learning and training has a good effect in analyzing the four personality traits.

Generative Information Hiding of Iris Feature Data Based on Gaussian Fuzzy Algorithm

The existing methods used for hiding the iris feature data were time-consuming for iris feature extraction. Meanwhile, the information security after hiding was also low, leading to low efficiency and security of information hiding. Therefore, a method of hiding iris features data generative information based on a Gaussian fuzzy algorithm was proposed. In the preprocessing stage of the image, the weighted average method was adopted for the gray-level transformation of the iris image, and the Gaussian fuzzy algorithm was used to smooth the image. In addition, the Laplacian convolution kernel was used to sharpen the image. The iris regions were normalized. The iris feature data was extracted by employing 2D Gabor wavelet. Moreover, the iris feature data was encrypted and decrypted using the AES algorithm, and hence, effectively enhancing the security of the generative information of iris feature data. Experimental results show that the proposed method can extract iris feature information within ten seconds, and the data security coefficient is high thus the proposed method efficiently realizes the information hiding.
