Pediatric brain MRI is a useful tool in assessing the healthy cerebral development of children. Since many pathologies may manifest in the brainstem and cerebellum, the objective of this study was to have an automated segmentation of pediatric posterior fossa structures. these pathologies include a myriad of etiologies from congenital malformations to tumors, which are very prevalent in this age group. We propose a pediatric brain MRI segmentation pipeline composed of preprocessing, semantic segmentation and post-processing steps. Segmentation modules are composed of two ensembles of networks: generalists and specialists. the generalist networks are responsible for locating and roughly segmenting the brain areas, yielding regions of interest for each target organ. Specialist networks can then improve the segmentation performance for underrepresented organs by learning only from the regions of interest from the generalist networks. At last, post-processing consists in merging the specialist and generalist networks predictions, and performing late fusion across the distinct architectures to generate a final prediction. We conduct a thorough ablation analysis on this pipeline and assess the superiority of the methodology in segmenting the brain stem, 4th ventricle and cerebellum. the proposed methodology achieved a macro-averaged Dice index of 0.855 with respect to manual segmentation, with only 32 labeled volumes used during training. Additionally, average distances between automatically and manually segmented surfaces remained around 1mm for the three structures, while volumetry results revealed high agreement between manually labeled and predicted regions.
In this paper we introduce the Reduction Sweep algorithm, a novel graph-based image segmentation algorithm that is designed for easy parallelization. It is based on a clustering approach focusing on local image charac...

Self-training plays an important role in sports exercise. However, if not under the instruction of a coach, it would be ineffective for most amateurs or inexperienced players to exercise on their own. therefore, establishing computer-assisted training systems for sports exercise is a recently emerging topic. In this paper, we propose a billiard self-training system, which aims at improving billiard players' performance by utilizing intelligent glasses as a wearable camera and displayer. the proposed system is able to automatically analyze user-captured images of the billiard table from multiple views and display the ball configurations on a virtual top-view table. Enriched visual presentation can be provided to give the practitioner a further sight into the game. the experiments conducted on sixteen sets of different ball configurations show promising results.

the Laplacian of an image is one of the simplest and useful imageprocessing tools which highlights regions of rapid intensity change and therefore it is applied for edge detection and contrast enhancement. this paper deals withthe definition of the Laplacian operator on ultrametric spaces as well as its spectral representation in terms of the corresponding eigenfunctions and eigenvalues. the theory reviewed here provides the computational framework to process images or signals defined on a hierarchical representation associated to an ultrametric space. In particular, image regularization by ultrametric heat kernel filtering and image enhancement by hierarchical Laplacian are illustrated.

this paper deals withthe autonomous navigation problem through orchards. It highlights the different challenges arising in this particular environment and proposes an adequate framework. this latter relies on a reactive control strategy fed by visual data provided by a set of RGB-D cameras adequately positioned to enlarge the field of view. In this work, we show interest in coupling a deep learning solution for image-based detection with an existing point cloud processing algorithm to improve the overall perception. Experimental results validate the approach.
