Proposition of Convolutional Neural Network Based System for Skin Cancer Detection

2019

Skin cancer automated diagnosis tools play a vital role in timely screening, helping dermatologists focus on melanoma cases. Best arts on automated melanoma screening use deep learning-based approaches, especially deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) to improve performances. Because of the large number of parameters that could be involved during training in CNN many training samples are needed to avoid overfitting problem. Gabor filtering can efficiently extract spatial information including edges and textures, which may reduce the features extraction burden to CNN. In this paper, we proposed a Gabor Convolutional Network (GCN) model to improve the performance of automated diagnosis of …

Combination Of Handcrafted And Deep Learning-Based Features For 3d Mesh Quality Assessment

2020

We propose in this paper a novel objective method to evaluate the perceived visual quality of 3D meshes. The proposed method in no-reference, it relies only on the distorted mesh for the quality estimation. It is based on a pre-trained convolutional neural network (i.e VGG to extract features from the distorted mesh) and handcrafted features extracted directly from the 3D mesh (i.e curvature and dihedral angle). A General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) is used to learn the statistical parameters of the feature vectors and estimate the quality score. Experimental results from for subjective databases (LIRIS masking, LIRIS/EPFL generalpurpose, UWB compression and LEETA simplification) and c…

No-reference mesh visual quality assessment via ensemble of convolutional neural networks and compact multi-linear pooling

2020

Abstract Blind or No reference quality evaluation is a challenging issue since it is done without access to the original content. In this work, we propose a method based on deep learning for the mesh visual quality assessment without reference. For a given 3D model, we first compute its mesh saliency. Then, we extract views from the 3D mesh and the corresponding mesh saliency. After that, the views are split into small patches that are filtered using a saliency threshold. Only the salient patches are selected and used as input data. After that, three pre-trained deep convolutional neural networks are employed for feature learning: VGG, AlexNet, and ResNet. Each network is fine-tuned and pro…

Target tracking with dynamically adaptive correlation

2016

Abstract A reliable algorithm for target tracking based on dynamically adaptive correlation filtering is presented. The algorithm is capable of tracking with high accuracy the location of a target in an input video sequence without using an offline training process. The target is selected at the beginning of the algorithm. Afterwards, a composite correlation filter optimized for distortion tolerant pattern recognition is designed to recognize the target in the next frame. The filter is dynamically adapted to each frame using information of current and past scene observations. Results obtained with the proposed algorithm in synthetic and real-life video sequences, are analyzed and compared w…

High Level Modeling and Hardware Implementation of Image Processing Algorithms Using XSG

2019

International audience; Design of Systems-on-Chip has become very common especially with the remarkable advances in the field of high-level system modeling. In recent years, Matlab also offers a Simulink interface for the design of hardware systems. From a high-level specification, Matlab provides self-generation of HDL codes and/or FPGA configuration codes while providing other benefits of easy simulation. In addition, a large part of the Systems-on-Chip use at least one image processing algorithm and at the same time border detection is one of the most used algorithms. This paper presents a study and a hardware implementation of various algorithms of borders detection realized under Xilin…

An Innovative Similarity Measure for Sentence Plagiarism Detection

2016

We propose and experimentally assess Semantic Word Error Rate (SWER), an innovative similarity measure for sentence plagiarism detection. SWER introduces a complex approach based on latent semantic analysis, which is capable of outperforming the accuracy of competitor methods in plagiarism detection. We provide principles and functionalities of SWER, and we complement our analytical contribution by means of a significant preliminary experimental analysis. Derived results are promising, and confirm to use the goodness of our proposal.

Introducing the Concept of Hyperactivity in Multi Agent Systems

2013

International audience; Software Agents are no longer the simple communication gateways for devices to interconnect using one or more networks. With Multi Agent Systems contributing in a wide spectrum of intelligent systems, the Agents are in a more proactive role than just being responsible for passing messages between their respective base systems. Agent Relation Charts and the Hyperactive Transaction Model in general is one of the recent attempts of developing a multi-view design model for Multi Agent Systems. The model has made a clear distinction in the regular and intelligent activities of an agent. Based on these differences, the agents are classified into three main categories named…

Probabilistic Transition-Based Approach for Detecting Application-Layer DDoS Attacks in Encrypted Software-Defined Networks

2017

With the emergence of cloud computing, many attacks, including Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, have changed their direction towards cloud environment. In particular, DDoS attacks have changed in scale, methods, and targets and become more complex by using advantages provided by cloud computing. Modern cloud computing environments can benefit from moving towards Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology, which allows network engineers and administrators to respond quickly to the changing business requirements. In this paper, we propose an approach for detecting application-layer DDoS attacks in cloud environment with SDN. The algorithm is applied to statistics extracted from…
