Fast light-field 3D microscopy with out-of-distribution detection and adaptation through conditional normalizing flows.

Real-time 3D fluorescence microscopy is crucial for the spatiotemporal analysis of live organisms, such as neural activity monitoring. The eXtended field-of-view light field microscope (XLFM), also known as Fourier light field microscope, is a straightforward, single snapshot solution to achieve this. The XLFM acquires spatial-angular information in a single camera exposure.

U-Sleep's resilience to AASM guidelines.

AASM guidelines are the result of decades of efforts aiming at standardizing sleep scoring procedure, with the final goal of sharing a worldwide common methodology. The guidelines cover several aspects from the technical/digital specifications, e.g.

Multi-scored sleep databases: how to exploit the multiple-labels in automated sleep scoring.

Study Objectives: Inter-scorer variability in scoring polysomnograms is a well-known problem. Most of the existing automated sleep scoring systems are trained using labels annotated by a single-scorer, whose subjective evaluation is transferred to the model. When annotations from two or more scorers are available, the scoring models are usually trained on the scorer consensus.

Towards Sleep Scoring Generalization Through Self-Supervised Meta-Learning.

In this work we introduce a novel meta-learning method for sleep scoring based on self-supervised learning. Our approach aims at building models for sleep scoring that can generalize across different patients and recording facilities, but do not require a further adaptation step to the target data. Towards this goal, we build our method on top of the Model Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML) framework by incorporating a self-supervised learning (SSL) stage, and call it S2MAML.

DeepSleepNet-Lite: A Simplified Automatic Sleep Stage Scoring Model With Uncertainty Estimates.

Deep learning is widely used in the most recent automatic sleep scoring algorithms. Its popularity stems from its excellent performance and from its ability to process raw signals and to learn feature directly from the data. Most of the existing scoring algorithms exploit very computationally demanding architectures, due to their high number of training parameters, and process lengthy time sequences in input (up to 12 minutes).

Temporal dependency in automatic sleep scoring via deep learning based architectures: An empirical study.

The present study evaluates how effectively a deep learning based sleep scoring system does encode the temporal dependency from raw polysomnography signals. An exhaustive range of neural networks, including state of the art architecture, have been used in the evaluation. The architectures have been assessed using a single-channel EEG Fpz-Cz from the open source Sleep-EDF expanded database.

Automated sleep scoring: A review of the latest approaches.

Clinical sleep scoring involves a tedious visual review of overnight polysomnograms by a human expert, according to official standards. It could appear then a suitable task for modern artificial intelligence algorithms. Indeed, machine learning algorithms have been applied to sleep scoring for many years.

EEG-based outcome prediction after cardiac arrest with convolutional neural networks: Performance and visualization of discriminative features.

Prognostication for comatose patients after cardiac arrest is a difficult but essential task. Currently, visual interpretation of electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the main modality used in outcome prediction. There is a growing interest in computer-assisted EEG interpretation, either to overcome the possible subjectivity of visual interpretation, or to identify complex features of the EEG signal.

Plenoptic Image Motion Deblurring.

We propose a method to remove motion blur in a single light field captured with a moving plenoptic camera. Since motion is unknown, we resort to a blind deconvolution formulation, where one aims to identify both the blur point spread function and the latent sharp image. Even in the absence of motion, light field images captured by a plenoptic camera are affected by a non-trivial combination of both aliasing and defocus, which depends on the 3D geometry of the scene.

A Clearer Picture of Total Variation Blind Deconvolution.

Blind deconvolution is the problem of recovering a sharp image and a blur kernel from a noisy blurry image. Recently, there has been a significant effort on understanding the basic mechanisms to solve blind deconvolution. While this effort resulted in the deployment of effective algorithms, the theoretical findings generated contrasting views on why these approaches worked.

The light field camera: extended depth of field, aliasing, and superresolution.

Portable light field (LF) cameras have demonstrated capabilities beyond conventional cameras. In a single snapshot, they enable digital image refocusing and 3D reconstruction. We show that they obtain a larger depth of field but maintain the ability to reconstruct detail at high resolution.

Textureless macula swelling detection with multiple retinal fundus images.

Retinal fundus images acquired with nonmydriatic digital fundus cameras are versatile tools for the diagnosis of various retinal diseases. Because of the ease of use of newer camera models and their relatively low cost, these cameras can be employed by operators with limited training for telemedicine or point-of-care (PoC) applications. We propose a novel technique that uses uncalibrated multiple-view fundus images to analyze the swelling of the macula.

Shape from defocus via diffusion.

Defocus can be modeled as a diffusion process and represented mathematically using the heat equation, where image blur corresponds to the diffusion of heat. This analogy can be extended to non-planar scenes by allowing a space-varying diffusion coefficient. The inverse problem of reconstructing 3-D structure from blurred images corresponds to an "inverse diffusion" that is notoriously ill-posed.
