A combinatorial deep learning method for Alzheimer's disease classification-based merging pretrained networks.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and impaired daily functioning. Despite significant research, AD remains incurable, highlighting the critical need for early diagnosis and intervention to improve patient outcomes. Timely detection plays a crucial role in managing the disease more effectively.

Enhanced fingerprint classification through modified PCA with SVD and invariant moments.

This research introduces a novel MOMENTS-SVD vector for fingerprint identification, combining invariant moments and SVD (Singular Value Decomposition), enhanced by a modified PCA (Principal Component Analysis). Our method extracts unique fingerprint features using SVD and invariant moments, followed by classification with Euclidean distance and neural networks. The MOMENTS-SVD vector reduces computational complexity by outperforming current models.

On designing a configurable UAV autopilot for unmanned quadrotors.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and quadrotors are being used in an increasing number of applications. The detection and management of forest fires is continually improved by the incorporation of new economical technologies in order to prevent ecological degradation and disasters. Using an inner-outer loop design, this paper discusses an attitude and altitude controller for a quadrotor.

ResNet-SVM: Fusion based glioblastoma tumor segmentation and classification.

Computerized segmentation of brain tumor based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data presents an important challenging act in computer vision. In image segmentation, numerous studies have explored the feasibility and advantages of employing deep neural network methods to automatically detect and segment brain tumors depicting on MRI. For training the deeper neural network, the procedure usually requires extensive computational power and it is also very time-consuming due to the complexity and the gradient diffusion difficulty.

A Fast Segmentation Method for Fire Forest Images Based on Multiscale Transform and PCA.

Forests provide various important things to human life. Fire is one of the main disasters in the world. Nowadays, the forest fire incidences endanger the ecosystem and destroy the native flora and fauna.

Sparse classification of discriminant nystagmus features using combined video-oculography tests and pupil tracking for common vestibular disorder recognition.

Vertigo is a common sign related to a problem with the brain or vestibular system. Detection of ocular nystagmus can be a support indicator to distinguish different vestibular disorders. In order to get reliable and accurate real time measurements from nystagmus response, video-oculography (VOG) plays an important role in the daily clinical examination.

Backgroud And Objective: The control of clinical manifestation of vestibular system relies on an optimal diagnosis. This study aims to develop and test a new automated diagnostic scheme for vestibular disorder recognition.

Methods: In this study we stratify the Ellipse-fitting technique using the Video Nysta Gmographic (VNG) sequence to obtain the segmented pupil region.

A computer-aided method based on geometrical texture features for a precocious detection of fetal Hydrocephalus in ultrasound images.

Backgroud: Hydrocephalus is the most common anomaly of the fetal head characterized by an excessive accumulation of fluid in the brain processing. The diagnostic process of fetal heads using traditional evaluation techniques are generally time consuming and error prone. Usually, fetal head size is computed using an ultrasound (US) image around 20-22 weeks, which is the gestational age (GA).

Supervised classification approach of biometric measures for automatic fetal defect screening in head ultrasound images.

This paper presents an advanced approach for foetal brain abnormalities diagnostic by integrating significant biometric features in the identification process. In foetal anomaly diagnosis, manual evaluation of foetal behaviour in ultrasound images is a subjective, slow and error-prone task, especially in the preliminary treatment phases. The effectiveness of this appearance is strictly subject to the attention and the experience of gynaecologists.

Fast unsupervised nuclear segmentation and classification scheme for automatic allred cancer scoring in immunohistochemical breast tissue images.

Background And Objective: This paper presents an improved scheme able to perform accurate segmentation and classification of cancer nuclei in immunohistochemical (IHC) breast tissue images in order to provide quantitative evaluation of estrogen or progesterone (ER/PR) receptor status that will assist pathologists in cancer diagnostic process.

Methods: The proposed segmentation method is based on adaptive local thresholding and an enhanced morphological procedure, which are applied to extract all stained nuclei regions and to split overlapping nuclei. In fact, a new segmentation approach is presented here for cell nuclei detection from the IHC image using a modified Laplacian filter and an improved watershed algorithm.

A new preprocessing parameter estimation based on geodesic active contour model for automatic vestibular neuritis diagnosis.

The diagnostic of the vestibular neuritis (VN) presents many difficulties to traditional assessment methods This paper deals with a fully automatic VN diagnostic system based on nystagmus parameter estimation using a pupil detection algorithm. A geodesic active contour model is implemented to find an accurate segmentation region of the pupil. Hence, the novelty of the proposed algorithm is to speed up the standard segmentation by using a specific mask located on the region of interest.

A new automatic image analysis method for assessing estrogen receptors' status in breast tissue specimens.

Manual assessment of estrogen receptors' (ER) status from breast tissue microscopy images is a subjective, time consuming and error prone process. Automatic image analysis methods offer the possibility to obtain consistent, objective and rapid diagnoses of histopathology specimens. In breast cancer biopsies immunohistochemically (IHC) stained for ER, cancer cell nuclei present a large variety in their characteristics that bring various difficulties for traditional image analysis methods.
