the data transition has become one of the most actual problems nowadays. Classical methods of video and image compression give great results but refers huge computational resources. One of the improvement ways in video and still images processing and transmitting is using neuralnetworks. In this field they can be used for pre-/post-processing, algorithm optimization, segmentation tasks. There is a lack of studies which pay attention to neural network application for reducing spatial and temporal redundancy in video encoding operations. In this work we propose new methods of preprocessing and postprocessing using convolutional neuralnetworks along with classical algorithms of video compression. The main structure consists of downscale and upscale parts which allows to downsize a transmitted image or frame and reconstruct it in decoder side with high accuracy. The reconstruction process uses preprocessing before upscale operation and post-processing after image size restoration. The current algorithm works in conjunction with the classic video codec H.264/AVC. The work's results show improvement of the transmitted image quality at a lower bit rate. The new method improves previous ones in term of compression rate.

The competitive learning technique is a well-known algorithm used in neuralnetworks which classifies the input vectors, so that the vectors (samples) belonging to the same class have similar characteristics. Each class is represented by one unit. Dynamic competitive learning is an unsupervised learning technique consisting of two additional parts related to conventional competitive learning: a method of generation of new units within a cluster and a method of generating new clusters. As seen in a description of the multilayered neuralnetworks, the number of clusters, their connections, and the generation of new units is determined dynamically during learning. The model is capable of high-level storage of complex data structures and their classification, including exception handling.

This paper presents a combined approach for image restoration with edge-preserving regularization, subband coding, and artificialneural network. The edge information is detected from the source image as a priori knowledge to recover the details and reduce the ringing artifact of the subband coded image. The multilayer perceptron model is employed to implement the restoration of images. The main merit of the presented approach is that the neural network model is massively parallel with stronger robustness for transmission noise and parameter or structure perturbation, and it can be realized by very large scale integrated technologies for realtime applications. To evaluate the performance of the proposed approach, a comparative study with the set partitioning in hierarchical tree (SPIHT) has been made by using a set of gray-scale digital images. The experiment has shown that the proposed approach could result in considerably better performances compared with SPIHT on both objective and subjective quality for lower compression ratio subband coded image.

What has happened in machine learning lately, and what does it mean for the future of medical image analysis? Machine learning has witnessed a tremendous amount of attention over the last few years. The current boom started around 2009 when so-called deep artificialneuralnetworks began outperforming other established models on a number of important benchmarks. Deep neuralnetworks are now the state-of-the-art machine learning models across a variety of areas, from image analysis to natural language processing, and widely deployed in academia and industry. These developments have a huge potential for medical imaging technology, medical data analysis, medical diagnostics and healthcare in general, slowly being realized. We provide a short overview of recent advances and some associated challenges in machine learning applied to medical imageprocessing and image analysis. As this has become a very broad and fast expanding field we will not survey the entire landscape of applications, but put particular focus on deep learning in MRI. Our aim is threefold: (i) give a brief introduction to deep learning with pointers to core references;(ii) indicate how deep learning has been applied to the entire MRI processing chain, from acquisition to image retrieval, from segmentation to disease prediction;(iii) provide a starting point for people interested in experimenting and perhaps contributing to the field of deep learning for medical imaging by pointing out good educational resources, state-of-the-art open-source code, and interesting sources of data and problems related medical imaging.

This paper presents classification of difference image blocks between the two successive image frames for video data compression. Difference blocks are classified to several activity categories according to the image activity distribution. The classification procedure goes in two steps: activity classification and distribution classification. In the activity classification, each interframe difference image block is classified into active or not-active class according to the amount of motion contained in the block. Distribution classification further classifies active image blocks to four activity categories, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and uniform activities, based on the activity distribution measured by the edge feature vector in the discrete cosine transform domain. A multiplayer feedforward neural network, trained with a small set of sample classification data, successfully classified difference image blocks according to edge feature distribution. The classification scheme improves the performance of video compression at a cost of small increase in the overhead associated with the quantizer switching.

We have developed a novel neural network based automatic target recognition (ATR) indexing system. This system utilizes regularization edge detection, adaptive vector quantization (AVQ) clustering, model driven feedback, and backpropagation trained networks. It can be designed to be invariant to either translation, or translation and rotation. The system incorporates both top-down and bottom-up processing to suppress background clutter.

This paper deals with tube leak detection in industrial boilers. A decentralized information processing approach is used to detect and isolate the location of boilers tube leaks. Tube leak sensitive variables (TLSV) are used as the information source for detection and isolation. Such variables are already collected by the system for the purpose of control and monitoring. Given the TLSV, artificialneuralnetworks are used to detect the presence of a leak and its location in the boiler. The proposed approach was successfully applied to tube leak detection and isolation in five subsystems of a utility boiler.

Recent developments in Pulse-Coupled neuralnetworks (PCNN) techniques provide efficiency in edge and target extraction [ 1]. The detection of targets is facilitated by PCNN multi-scale image factorization. But noise is still the enemy of PCNN. An efficient new Pulse-Coupled neuralnetworks technique has been proposed in combination with the wavelet theory. The new Pulse-Couple Neuron Network Wavelet (PCNNW) is based on multi-resolution decomposition for extracting the main features of the images by eliminating the noise. In addition, the wavelet coefficients provide the Pulse-Couple Neuron Network (PCNN) supplemental discrimination and lead to characteristic sets of numbers useful in identifying image factors of interest. The efficiency of the method has been tested and compared with other PCNN denoising methods.

Fingerprinting is one of the most used biometrics for people identification, it relays on imageprocessing and classification algorithms. In this work we propose and test a framework that enables fingerprint detection using a set of image pre-processing algorithm. Concerning the features extraction, we propose the use of the number of bifurcations in image localities, and we propose the use of artificialneural Network (ANN) for the classification. The performance of our framework is evaluated for three different activation functions and show that we can reach an accuracy of 81%.

The ability to detect objects from image sequences and estimate their trajectory is useful in many applications like satellite tracking, missile guidance and interception. This paper proposes a reliable and an effective application for preventing loss of lives on event of airline crashes similar to the one on 9/11/2001. This contribution uses the MixeD algorithm for object detection, velocity estimation and the trajectory of the moving object in the spatiotemporal domain. The case study of the 9/11 event shows that the proposed method could have helped the authorities alert the people inside the towers far in advance about the hostile situation and could have saved a few more lives.
