Instance-Based Multi-Label Classification via Multi-Target Distance Regression

2021

Interest in multi-target regression and multi-label classification techniques and their applications have been increasing lately. Here, we use the distance-based supervised method, minimal learning machine (MLM), as a base model for multi-label classification. We also propose and test a hybridization of unsupervised and supervised techniques, where prototype-based clustering is used to reduce both the training time and the overall model complexity. In computational experiments, competitive or improved quality of the obtained models compared to the state-of-the-art techniques was observed. peerReviewed

A comprehensive survey of multi-view video summarization

2021

[EN] There has been an exponential growth in the amount of visual data on a daily basis acquired from single or multi-view surveillance camera networks. This massive amount of data requires efficient mechanisms such as video summarization to ensure that only significant data are reported and the redundancy is reduced. Multi-view video summarization (MVS) is a less redundant and more concise way of providing information from the video content of all the cameras in the form of either keyframes or video segments. This paper presents an overview of the existing strategies proposed for MVS, including their advantages and drawbacks. Our survey covers the genericsteps in MVS, such as the pre-proce…

Multiproject–multicenter evaluation of automatic brain tumor classification by magnetic resonance spectroscopy

2008

[EN] Automatic brain tumor classification by MRS has been under development for more than a decade. Nonetheless, to our knowledge, there are no published evaluations of predictive models with unseen cases that are subsequently acquired in different centers. The multicenter eTUMOUR project (2004-2009), which builds upon previous expertise from the INTERPRET project (2000-2002) has allowed such an evaluation to take place. A total of 253 pairwise classifiers for glioblastoma, meningioma, metastasis, and low-grade glial diagnosis were inferred based on 211 SV short TE INTERPRET MR spectra obtained at 1.5 T (PRESS or STEAM, 20-32 ms) and automatically pre-processed. Afterwards, the classifiers …

Deep 3D Convolution Neural Network for Alzheimer’s Detection

2020

One of the most well-known and complex applications of artificial intelligence (AI) is Alzheimer’s detection, which lies in the field of medical imaging. The complexity in this task lies in the three-dimensional structure of the MRI scan images. In this paper, we propose to use 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (3D-CNN) for Alzheimer’s detection. 3D-CNNs have been a popular choice for this task. The novelty in our paper lies in the fact that we use a deeper 3D-CNN consisting of 10 layers. Also, with effectively training our model consisting of Batch Normalization layers that provide a regularizing effect, we don’t have to use any transfer learning. We also use the simple data augmentation te…

We examined the effects of spatial frequency similarity and dissimilarity on human contour integration under various conditions of uncertainty. Participants performed a temporal 2AFC contour detection task. Spatial frequency jitter up to 3.0 octaves was applied either to background elements, or to contour and background elements, or to none of both. Results converge on four major findings. (1) Contours defined by spatial frequency similarity alone are only scarcely visible, suggesting the absence of specialized cortical routines for shape detection based on spatial frequency similarity. (2) When orientation collinearity and spatial frequency similarity are combined along a contour, performa…

In this paper, we present a method for automated estimation of a human face given a skull remain. Our proposed method is based on three statistical models. A volumetric (tetrahedral) skull model encoding the variations of different skulls, a surface head model encoding the head variations, and a dense statistic of facial soft tissue thickness (FSTT). All data are automatically derived from computed tomography (CT) head scans and optical face scans. In order to obtain a proper dense FSTT statistic, we register a skull model to each skull extracted from a CT scan and determine the FSTT value for each vertex of the skull model towards the associated extracted skin surface. The FSTT values at p…

We present a method to discover discriminative brain metabolism patterns in [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) scans, facilitating the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. In the work, the term "pattern" stands for a certain brain region that characterizes a target group of patients and can be used for a classification as well as interpretation purposes. Thus, it can be understood as a so-called "region of interest (ROI)". In the literature, an ROI is often found by a given brain atlas that defines a number of brain regions, which corresponds to an anatomical approach. The present work introduces a semi-data-driven approach that is based on learning the charac…

On Spatio-Temporal Saliency Detection in Videos using Multilinear PCA

2016

International audience; Visual saliency is an attention mechanism which helps to focus on regions of interest instead of processing the whole image or video data. Detecting salient objects in still images has been widely addressed in literature with several formulations and methods. However, visual saliency detection in videos has attracted little attention, although motion information is an important aspect of visual perception. A common approach for obtaining a spatio-temporal saliency map is to combine a static saliency map and a dynamic saliency map. In this paper, we extend a recent saliency detection approach based on principal component analysis (PCA) which have shwon good results wh…

Multilinear sparse decomposition for best spectral bands selection

2014

Optimal spectral bands selection is a primordial step in multispectral images based systems for face recognition. In this context, we select the best spectral bands using a multilinear sparse decomposition based approach. Multispectral images of 35 subjects presenting 25 different lengths from 480nm to 720nm and three lighting conditions: fluorescent, Halogen and Sun light are groupped in a 3-mode face tensor T of size 35x25x2 . T is then decomposed using 3-mode SVD where three mode matrices for subjects, spectral bands and illuminations are sparsely determined. The 25x25 spectral bands mode matrix defines a sparse vector for each spectral band. Spectral bands having the sparse vectors with…

A Neural Network-Based Algorithm for 3D Multispectral Scanning Applied to Multimedia

2005

We describe a new stereoscopic system based on a multispectral camera and an LCD-Projector. The novel concept we want to show consists in the use of multispectral information for 3D-scenes reconstruction. Each 3D point is linked to a curve representing the spectral reflectance. This latter is a physical representation of the matter and presents the advantage over color information, which is perceptual, that it is independent from both illuminant and observer. We first present an easy methodology to geometrically and spectrally calibrate such a system. We then describe an algorithm for recovering 3D coordinates based on triangulation and an algorithm for reflectance curves reconstruction bas…
