Hybrid Deep Shallow Network for Assessment of Depression Using Electroencephalogram Signals
Depression is a mental health disorder characterised by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities resulting impairment in daily life significantly. Electroencephalography (EEG) can assist with the accurate diagnosis of depression. In this paper, we present two different hybrid deep learning models for classification and assessment of patient suffering with depression. We have combined convolutional neural network with Gated recurrent units (RGUs), thus the proposed network is shallow and much smaller in size in comparison to its counter LSTM network. In addition to this, proposed approach is less sensitive to parameter settings. Extensive experiments on EEG dataset shows…
Automatic Segmentation Using a Hybrid Dense Network Integrated With an 3D-Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling Module for Computed Tomography (CT) Imaging
Computed tomography (CT) with a contrast-enhanced imaging technique is extensively proposed for the assessment and segmentation of multiple organs, especially organs at risk. It is an important factor involved in the decision making in clinical applications. Automatic segmentation and extraction of abdominal organs, such as thoracic organs at risk, from CT images are challenging tasks due to the low contrast of pixel values surrounding other organs. Various deep learning models based on 2D and 3D convolutional neural networks have been proposed for the segmentation of medical images because of their automatic feature extraction capability based on large labeled datasets. In this paper, we p…
Hybrid 3D-ResNet Deep Learning Model for Automatic Segmentation of Thoracic Organs at Risk in CT Images
In image radiation therapy, accurate segmentation of organs at risk (OARs) is a very essential task and has clinical applications in cancer treatment. The segmentation of organs close to lung, breast, or esophageal cancer is a routine and time-consuming process. The automatic segmentation of organs at risk would be an essential part of treatment planning for patients suffering radiotherapy. The position and shape variation, morphology inherent and low soft tissue contrast between neighboring organs across each patient’s scans is the challenging task for automatic segmentation of OARs in Computed Tomography (CT) images. The objective of this paper is to use automatic segmentation of the orga…
A 3D deep learning approach based on Shape Prior for automatic segmentation of myocardial diseases
Accurate three-dimensional (3D) cardiac segmentation from late gadolinium enhancement (LGE)-MRI plays a critical role in designing a structure of reference for diagnosing many cardiac pathologies such as ischemia, myocarditis and myocardial infarction. This segmentation is however still a non-trivial task, due to the motion artifacts during acquisition, and heterogeneous intensity distributions. In this study, we develop a fully 3D automated model based on deep neural networks (DNN) for LGE-MRI myocardial pathologies (scar and No-reflow tissues) segmentation in a new expert annotated dataset. Considering that damaged tissue constitutes a small area of the whole LGE-MRI, we concentrated on m…
Deep Residual Neural Network for Child’s Spontaneous Facial Expressions Recognition
Early identification of deficits in emotion recognition and expression skills may prevent low social functioning in adulthood. Deficits in young children’s ability to recognize facial expressions can lead to impairments in social functioning. Kids may need extra help learning to read facial expressions. Most of the earlier efforts consider the problem of emotion recognition in adults; however, ignore the child’s emotions, especially in an unconstrained environment. In this paper, we present progressive light residual learning to classify spontaneous emotion recognition in children. Unlike earlier residual neural network, we reduce the skip connection at the earlier part of the network and i…
A deep learning framework for automatic diagnosis of unipolar depression.
Abstract Background and purpose In recent years, the development of machine learning (ML) frameworks for automatic diagnosis of unipolar depression has escalated to a next level of deep learning frameworks. However, this idea needs further validation. Therefore, this paper has proposed an electroencephalographic (EEG)-based deep learning framework that automatically discriminated depressed and healthy controls and provided the diagnosis. Basic procedures In this paper, two different deep learning architectures were proposed that utilized one dimensional convolutional neural network (1DCNN) and 1DCNN with long short-term memory (LSTM) architecture. The proposed deep learning architectures au…

Abstract Objectives: In this work, a new deep learning model for relevant myocardial infarction segmentation from Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE)-MRI is proposed. Moreover, our novel segmentation method aims to detect microvascular-obstructed regions accurately. Material and methods: We first segment the anatomical structures, i.e., the left ventricular cavity and the myocardium, to achieve a preliminary segmentation. Then, a shape prior based framework that fuses the 3D U-Net architecture with 3D Autoencoder segmentation framework to constrain the segmentation process of pathological tissues is applied. Results: The proposed network reached outstanding myocardial segmentation compared wi…
A deep learning approach for the segmentation of myocardial diseases
Cardiac left ventricular (LV) segmentation is a paramount essential step for both diagnosis and treatment of cardiac pathologies such as ischemia, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia and myocarditis. However, this segmentation is challenging due to high variability across patients and the potential lack of contrast between structures. In this work, we propose and evaluate a (2.5D) SegU-Net model based on the fusion of two deep learning segmentation techniques (U-Net and Seg-Net) for automated LGE-MRI (Late gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance imaging) myocardial disease (infarct core and no-reflow region) quantification in a new multifield expert annotated dataset. Given that the scar tissu…
Efficient 3D Deep Learning for Myocardial Diseases Segmentation
Automated myocardial segmentation from late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance images (LGE-MRI) is a critical step in the diagnosis of cardiac pathologies such as ischemia and myocardial infarction. This paper proposes a deep learning framework for improved myocardial diseases segmentation. In the first step, we build an encoder-decoder segmentation network that generates myocardium and cavity segmentations from the whole volume, followed by a 3D U-Net based on Shape prior to identifying myocardial infarction and myocardium ventricular obstruction (MVO) segmentations from the encoder-decoder prediction. The proposed network achieves good segmentation performance, as computed by avera…
Fusion of CNN and sparse representation for threat estimation near power lines and poles infrastructure using aerial stereo imagery
Abstract Fires or electrical hazards and accidents can occur if vegetation is not controlled or cleared around overhead power lines, resulting in serious risks to people and property and significant costs to the community. There are numerous blackouts due to interfering the trees with the power transmission lines in hilly and urban areas. Power distribution companies are facing a challenge to monitor the vegetation to avoid blackouts and flash-over threats. Recently, several methods have been developed for vegetation monitoring; however, existing methods are either not accurate or could not provide better disparity map in the textureless region. Moreover, are not able to handle depth discon…
