Automatic Segmentation of Pulmonary Lobes in Pulmonary CT Images using Atlas-based Unsupervised Learning Network
2020
Pulmonary lobes segmentation of pulmonary CT images is important for assistant therapy and diagnosis of pulmonary disease in many clinical tasks. Recently supervised deep learning methods are applied widely in fast automatic medical image segmentation including pulmonary lobes segmentation of pulmonary CT images. However, they require plenty of ground truth due to their supervised learning scheme, which are always difficult to realize in practice. To address this issue, in this study we extend an existed unsupervised learning network with an extra pulmonary mask constraint to develop a deformable pulmonary lobes atlas and apply it for fast automatic segmentation of pulmonary lobes in pulmon…
Outdoor Scenes Pixel-wise Semantic Segmentation using Polarimetry and Fully Convolutional Network
2019
International audience; In this paper, we propose a novel method for pixel-wise scene segmentation application using polarimetry. To address the difficulty of detecting highly reflective areas such as water and windows, we use the angle and degree of polarization of these areas, obtained by processing images from a polarimetric camera. A deep learning framework, based on encoder-decoder architecture, is used for the segmentation of regions of interest. Different methods of augmentation have been developed to obtain a sufficient amount of data, while preserving the physical properties of the polarimetric images. Moreover, we introduce a new dataset comprising both RGB and polarimetric images…
Weighted Likelihood Function of Multiple Statistical Parameters to Retrieve 2D TRUS-MR Slice Correspondece for Prostate Biopsy
2012
International audience; This paper presents a novel method to identify the 2D axial Magnetic Resonance (MR) slice from a pre-acquired MR prostate volume that closely corresponds to the 2D axial Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS) slice obtained during prostate biopsy. The shape-context representations of the segmented prostate contours in both the imaging modalities are used to establish point correspondences using Bhattacharyya distance. Thereafter, Chi-square distance is used to find the prostate shape similarities between the MR slices and the TRUS slice. Normalized mutual information and correlation coefficient between the TRUS and MR slices are computed to find the information theoretic simi…
Domain separation for efficient adaptive active learning
2011
This paper proposes a procedure aimed at efficiently adapting a classifier trained on a source image to a similar target image. The adaptation is carried out through active queries in the target domain following a strategy particularly designed for the case where class distributions have shifted between the two images. We first suggest a pre-selection of candidate pixels issued from the target image by keeping only those samples appearing to be lying in a region of the input space not yet covered by the existing ground truth (source domain pixels). Then, exploiting a classifier integrating instance weights, active queries are performed on the target image. As the inclusion to the training s…
Texture analysis for infarcted myocardium detection on delayed enhancement MRI
2017
Detection of infarcted myocardium in the left ventricle is achieved with delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI). However, manual segmentation is tedious and prone to variability. We studied three texture analysis methods (run-length matrix, co-occurrence matrix, and autoregressive model) in combination with histogram features to characterize the infarcted myocardium. We evaluated 10 patients with chronic infarction to select the most discriminative features and to train a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The classifier model was then used to segment five human hearts from the STACOM DE-MRI challenge at MICCAI 2012. The Dice coefficient was used to compare the segmen…
On the classification of observations structured into groups
1988
The paper is concerned with the problem of classifying a specific group into two populations (insect eggs of the same clutch belonging therefore to the same species). Two approaches, one parametric and the other non-parametric, are described. The classical likelihood ratio procedure is derived. An interpretation and a decomposition of the test criteria is given. A misclassification estimate using the Chernoff–Kullback–Kailath region is provided.
T-pattern detection and analysis for the discovery of hidden features of behaviour
2018
Abstract Background The behaviour of all living beings consists of hidden patterns in time; consequently, its nature and its underlying dynamics are intrinsically difficult to be perceived and detected by the unaided observer. Method Such a scientific challenge calls for improved means of detection, data handling and analysis. By using a powerful and versatile technique known as T-pattern detection and analysis (TPA) it is possible to unveil hidden relationships among the behavioural events in time. Results TPA is demonstrated to be a solid and versatile tool to study the deep structure of behaviour in different experimental contexts, both in human and non human subjects. Conclusion This re…
For a socio-psychological approach of the concept of racial stacking
2015
AbstractResearch studies focusing on the relationships between team sports and socio- ethnicity have developed in the Anglo-Saxon literature since the 1970s. In particular the use of the concept of racial stacking confirms a growing interest in a more complex vision when it comes to player selection and positioning. In basketball, studies have identified that black players are overrepresented in the American professional basketball championships (NBA) and at the same time patterns of racial stacking exist as they are overrepresented at non-central positions. This research led to a survey of black players’ positions in the professional championships in France (Pro A basketball). Using social…
Desoxyribonuclease-Aktivität im Seminalplasma von normalem und pathologischem Sperma1
2009
Zusammenfassung Das Verteilungsmuster der DNase-Aktivitaten im Seminalplasma von 9 Normalpersonen und 18 Patienten mit einem pathologischen Spermabefund wurde mit dem mikro-disc-elektrophoretischen Verfahren untersucht. Dabei ergaben die Aktivitatsbestimmungen der DNase bei Patienten mit einer Oligoasthenoteratozoospermie als auch bei alien Probanden, die einen pathologischen Spermabefund aufwiesen, in der 1. und 2. Bande deutliche Aktivitatsminderungen im Vergleich zum Seminalplasma von Normalpersonen. Nach den vorliegenden Untersuchungsbefunden stellt sich die Frage, ob den DNasen im Seminalplasma die Aufgabe zukommt, geschadigte und uberalterte Spermatozoen, deren Membran permeabler gewo…
Prevalencia de hipertensión arterial y su asociación con antropometría y dieta en niños (6 a 9 años): estudio aniva
2018
espanolIntroduccion: estudios recientes alertan de cambios en los habitos alimentarios y de un aumento del sobrepeso en ninos como posibles factores de riesgo de una hipertension temprana. Objetivos: conocer la prevalencia de normotension, prehipertension e hipertension en los ninos estudiados y valorar su posible asociacion con la dieta e indicadores antropometricos. Metodos: se realizo un estudio transversal dentro del Proyecto “Antropometria y Nutricion Infantil de Valencia” (ANIVA), donde se valoro dieta, presion arterial y antropometria en 652 ninos/as de entre seis y nueve anos. Se aplicaron los criterios de la Organizacion Mundial de la Salud (OMS) para identificar normotensos, prehi…
