Deep Convolutional Neural Network for HEp-2 fluorescence intensity classification
2019
Indirect ImmunoFluorescence (IIF) assays are recommended as the gold standard method for detection of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs), which are of considerable importance in the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases. Fluorescence intensity analysis is very often complex, and depending on the capabilities of the operator, the association with incorrect classes is statistically easy. In this paper, we present a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) system to classify positive/negative fluorescence intensity of HEp-2 IIF images, which is important for autoimmune diseases diagnosis. The method uses the best known pre-trained CNNs to extract features and a support vector machine (SVM) classifier for the …
A multi-process system for HEp-2 cells classification based on SVM
2016
An automatic system for pre-segmented IIF images analysis was developed.A non-standard pipeline for supervised image classification was adopted.The system uses a two-level pyramid to retain some spatial information.From each cell image 216 features are extracted.15 SVM classifiers one-against-one have been implemented. This study addresses the classification problem of the HEp-2 cells using indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) image analysis, which can indicate the presence of autoimmune diseases by finding antibodies in the patient serum. Recently, studies have shown that it is possible to identify the cell patterns using IIF image analysis and machine learning techniques. In this paper we de…
Automated detection of microaneurysms using robust blob descriptors
2013
International audience; Microaneurysms (MAs) are among the first signs of diabetic retinopathy (DR) that can be seen as round dark-red structures in digital color fundus photographs of retina. In recent years, automated computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) of MAs has attracted many researchers due to its low-cost and versatile nature. In this paper, the MA detection problem is modeled as finding interest points from a given image and several interest point descriptors are introduced and integrated with machine learning techniques to detect MAs. The proposed approach starts by applying a novel fundus image contrast enhancement technique using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of fun…
An Automatic HEp-2 Specimen Analysis System Based on an Active Contours Model and an SVM Classification
2019
The antinuclear antibody (ANA) test is widely used for screening, diagnosing, and monitoring of autoimmune diseases. The most common methods to determine ANA are indirect immunofluorescence (IIF), performed by human epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells, as substrate antigen. The evaluation of ANA consist an analysis of fluorescence intensity and staining patterns. This paper presents a complete and fully automatic system able to characterize IIF images. The fluorescence intensity classification was obtained by performing an image preprocessing phase and implementing a Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier. The cells identification problem has been addressed by developing a flexible segmentati…
Efficient anomaly detection on sampled data streams with contaminated phase I data
2020
International audience; Control chart algorithms aim to monitor a process over time. This process consists of two phases. Phase I, also called the learning phase, estimates the normal process parameters, then in Phase II, anomalies are detected. However, the learning phase itself can contain contaminated data such as outliers. If left undetected, they can jeopardize the accuracy of the whole chart by affecting the computed parameters, which leads to faulty classifications and defective data analysis results. This problem becomes more severe when the analysis is done on a sample of the data rather than the whole data. To avoid such a situation, Phase I quality must be guaranteed. The purpose…
Incomplete 3D motion trajectory segmentation and 2D-to-3D label transfer for dynamic scene analysis
2017
International audience; The knowledge of the static scene parts and the moving objects in a dynamic scene plays a vital role for scene modelling, understanding, and landmark-based robot navigation. The key information for these tasks lies on semantic labels of the scene parts and the motion trajectories of the dynamic objects. In this work, we propose a method that segments the 3D feature trajectories based on their motion behaviours, and assigns them semantic labels using 2D-to-3D label transfer. These feature trajectories are constructed by using the proposed trajectory recovery algorithm which takes the loss of feature tracking into account. We introduce a complete framework for static-m…
Extracting cloud motion from satellite image sequences
2004
This paper present a new technique for the estimation of cloud motion, using a sequence of infrared satellite images. It can be considered a challenging task due to the complexity of phenomena implied, as non-linear events and a non-rigid motion. In this circumstances most motion models are not suitable and new algorithms have to be developed. We propose a novel method, combining an Automatic Multilevel Thresholding for image segmentation, a Block Matching Algorithm (BMA) and a best candidate block search along with a vector median regularization.
Feature extraction and correlation for time-to-impact segmentation using log-polar images
2004
In this article we present a technique that allows high-speed movement analysis using the accurate displacement measurement given by the feature extraction and correlation method. Specially, we demonstrate that it is possible to use the time to impact computation for object segmentation. This segmentation allows the detection of objects at different distances.
Gabor filtering for feature extraction on complex images: application to defect detection on semiconductors
2006
AbstractThis paper is an extension of previous work on the image segmentation of electronic structures on patterned wafers to improve the defect detection process on optical inspection tools. Die-to-die wafer inspection is based upon the comparison of the same area on two neighbourhood dies. The dissimilarities between the images are a result of defects in this area of one of the dies. The noise level can vary from one structure to the other, within the same image. Therefore, segmentation is needed to create a mask and apply an optimal threshold in each region. Contrast variation on the texture can affect the response of the parameters used for the segmentation. This paper shows a method of…
Light-Tissue Interaction Model for the Analysis of Skin Ulcer Multi-spectral Images
2017
International audience; Skin ulcers (SU) are ones of the most frequent causes of consultation in primary health-care units (PHU) in tropical areas. However, the lack of specialized physicians in those areas, leads to improper diagnosis and management of the patients. There is then a need to develop tools that allow guiding the physicians toward a more accurate diagnosis. Multi-spectral imaging systems are a potential non-invasive tool that could be used in the analysis of skin ulcers. With these systems it is possible to acquire optical images at different wavelengths which can then be processed by means of mathematical models based on optimization approaches. The processing of those kind o…
