Optic Nerve Head and Retinal Abnormalities Associated with Congenital Fibrosis of the Extraocular Muscles.

Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) is a congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder caused by developmental abnormalities affecting cranial nerves/nuclei innervating the extraocular muscles. Autosomal dominant CFEOM arises from heterozygous missense mutations of or . Although spatiotemporal expression studies have shown KIF21A and TUBB3 expression in developing retinal ganglion cells, it is unclear whether dysinnervation extends beyond the oculomotor system.

Mobile Real-Time Grasshopper Detection and Data Aggregation Framework.

Insects of the family Orthoptera: Acrididae including grasshoppers and locust devastate crops and eco-systems around the globe. The effective control of these insects requires large numbers of trained extension agents who try to spot concentrations of the insects on the ground so that they can be destroyed before they take flight. This is a challenging and difficult task.

DISCERN: Generative Framework for Vessel Segmentation using Convolutional Neural Network and Visual Codebook.

This paper presents a novel two-stage vessel segmentation framework applied to retinal fundus images. In the first stage a convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to correlate an image patch with a corresponding groundtruth reduced using Totally Random Trees Embedding. In the second stage training patches are forward propagated through CNN to create a visual codebook.

Exudates Segmentation using Fully Convolutional Neural Network and Auxiliary Codebook.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an asymptotic complication of diabetes and the leading cause of preventable blindness in the working-age population. Early detection and treatment of DR is critical to avoid vision loss. Exudates are one of the earliest and most prevalent signs of DR.
