Semi-ProtoPNet Deep Neural Network for the Classification of Defective Power Grid Distribution Structures.

Power distribution grids are typically installed outdoors and are exposed to environmental conditions. When contamination accumulates in the structures of the network, there may be shutdowns caused by electrical arcs. To improve the reliability of the network, visual inspections of the electrical power system can be carried out; these inspections can be automated using computer vision techniques based on deep neural networks.

An Interpretable Deep Learning Model for Covid-19 Detection With Chest -Ray Images.

Timely and accurate detection of an epidemic/pandemic is always desired to prevent its spread. For the detection of any disease, there can be more than one approach including deep learning models. However, transparency/interpretability of the reasoning process of a deep learning model related to health science is a necessity.

Object or Background: An Interpretable Deep Learning Model for COVID-19 Detection from CT-Scan Images.

The new strains of the pandemic COVID-19 are still looming. It is important to develop multiple approaches for timely and accurate detection of COVID-19 and its variants. Deep learning techniques are well proved for their efficiency in providing solutions to many social and economic problems.

Abnormal Event Detection and Localization via Adversarial Event Prediction.

We present adversarial event prediction (AEP), a novel approach to detecting abnormal events through an event prediction setting. Given normal event samples, AEP derives the prediction model, which can discover the correlation between the present and future of events in the training step. In obtaining the prediction model, we propose adversarial learning for the past and future of events.

Image-based quantitative analysis of tear film lipid layer thickness for meibomian gland evaluation.

Background: Dry eye syndrome is one of the most common ocular diseases, and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of evaporative dry eye syndrome. When the tear film lipid layer becomes thin due to obstructive or hyposecretory meibomian gland dysfunction, the excessive evaporation of the aqueous layer can occur, and this causes evaporative dry eye syndrome. Thus, measuring the lipid layer thickness (LLT) is essential for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment of evaporative dry eye syndrome.

A Fully Automatic Method for Gridding Bright Field Images of Bead-Based Microarrays.

In this paper, a fully automatic method for gridding bright field images of bead-based microarrays is proposed. There have been numerous techniques developed for gridding fluorescence images of traditional spotted microarrays but to our best knowledge, no algorithm has yet been developed for gridding bright field images of bead-based microarrays. The proposed gridding method is designed for automatic quality control during fabrication and assembly of bead-based microarrays.
