A fundamental problem in imaging remote sensing systems is that of scale and resolution. The ability to resolve an object at a distance requires a high resolution sensor, with pixels subtending a small portion of the total field-of-view (FOV) of the imaging system. Traditional approaches to addressing this challenge are fundamentally data limited. To this end, we implemented foveating data reduction models inspired by the bi-foveated vision of birds of prey. The development of such systems for multiple target detection and tracking for air-to-ground target acquisition is important for several defense applications. The relative merits and disadvantages of various optical imaging technologies as well as several image transformations, sampling schemes, and object tracking algorithms were explored. Variable focal lens controlled by pressure, external voltage, or microfluidics demonstrate potential for devices requiring high resolution within a specified range. The distortion, coma, and spherical aberrations that occur can be corrected through the use of adaptive optics and custom 3D printed lenses. In conjunction with the hardware aspects, algorithmic approaches were also considered. The use of dynamically generated, moving foveal regions was investigated for use in motion tracking and object detection algorithms. Through the use of imaging systems with exceptionally large fields of view and localized areas of high resolution, machine vision systems can be implemented with less computational and data overhead. The implementation of our system is suited to use in either unmanned aerial vehicle or autonomous vehicle applications.

image matching is an important topic in the field of computer vision, in view of high robustness and accuracy, SIFT or the improved methods based on SIFT is generally used for image matching algorithms. The traditional SIFT method is implemented on grayscale images without regard to the color information of images, which may cause decreasing of the matching points and reduction of the matching accuracy. Prevailing color descriptors can effectively add color information into SIFT, however dramatically increase the complexity of algorithm. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to take advantage of the color information for image matching based on SIFT. The proposed algorithm uses the gradient information of color channel as the compensation of luminance channel, which can effectively enhance the color information with SIFT. Experimental results show that the number of feature points and matching accuracy can be significantly promoted, while the complexity and performance of image matching algorithm are well trade-off.

Many forms of programmable matter have been proposed for various tasks. We use an abstract model of self-organizing particle systems for programmable matter which could be used for a variety of applications, including smart paint and coating materials for engineering or programmable cells for medical uses. Previous research using this model has focused on shape formation and other spatial configuration problems (e.g., coating and compression). In this work we study foundational computational tasks that exceed the capabilities of the individual constant size memory of a particle, such as implementing a counter and matrix-vector multiplication. These tasks represent new ways to use these self-organizing systems, which, in conjunction with previous shape and configuration work, make the systems useful for a wider variety of tasks. They can also leverage the distributed and dynamic nature of the self-organizing system to be more efficient and adaptable than on traditional linear computing hardware. Finally, we demonstrate applications of similar types of computations with self-organizing systems to imageprocessing, with implementations of image color transformation and edge detection algorithms.

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has superior detection performance than mammography (DM) for population-based breast cancer screening, but the higher number of images that must be reviewed poses a challenge for its implementation. This may be ameliorated by creating a two-dimensional synthetic mammographic image (SM) from the DBT volume, containing the most relevant information. When creating a SM, it is of utmost importance to have an accurate lesion localization detection algorithm, while segmenting fibroglandular tissue could also be beneficial. These tasks encounter an extra challenge when working with images in the medio-lateral oblique view, due to the presence of the pectoral muscle, which has similar radiographic density. In this work, we present an automatic pectoral muscle segmentation model based on a u-net deep learning architecture, trained with 136 DBT images acquired with a single system (different BIRADS densities and pathological findings). The model was tested on 36 DBT images from that same system resulting in a dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 0.977 (0.967-0.984). In addition, the model was tested on 125 images from two different systems and three different modalities (DBT, SM, DM), obtaining DSCs between 0.947 and 0.970, a range determined visually to provide adequate segmentations. For reference, a resident radiologist independently annotated a mix of 25 cases obtaining a DSC of 0.971. The results suggest the possibility of using this model for inter-manufacturer DBT, DM and SM tasks that benefit from the segmentation of the pectoral muscle, such as SM generation, computer aided detection systems, or patient dosimetry algorithms.

Automatic neural architecture design has shown its potential in discovering powerful neural network architectures. Existing methods, no matter based on reinforcement learning or evolutionary algorithms (EA), conduct architecture search in a discrete space, which is highly inefficient. In this paper, we propose a simple and efficient method to automatic neural architecture design based on continuous optimization. We call this new approach neural architecture optimization (NAO). There are three key components in our proposed approach: (1) An encoder embeds/maps neural network architectures into a continuous space. (2) A predictor takes the continuous representation of a network as input and predicts its accuracy. (3) A decoder maps a continuous representation of a network back to its architecture. The performance predictor and the encoder enable us to perform gradient based optimization in the continuous space to find the embedding of a new architecture with potentially better accuracy. Such a better embedding is then decoded to a network by the decoder. Experiments show that the architecture discovered by our method is very competitive for image classification task on CIFAR-10 and language modeling task on PTB, outperforming or on par with the best results of previous architecture search methods with a significantly reduction of computational resources. Specifically we obtain 2.11% test set error rate for CIFAR-10 image classification task and 56.0 test set perplexity of PTB language modeling task. The best discovered architectures on both tasks are successfully transferred to other tasks such as CIFAR-100 and WildText-2. Furthermore, combined with the recent proposed weight sharing mechanism, we discover powerful architecture on CIFAR-10 (with error rate 3.53%) and on PTB (with test set perplexity 56.6), with very limited computational resources (less than 10 GPU hours) for both tasks.

In the era of any information on fingertip or on one click, medical diagnosis is context in which wrong diagnosis should be avoided using extensive information related to patients and symptoms. There should be an efficient system in diagnosis in terms of expert diagnostic opinion within short span of time, so that disease should be prevented to become chronic. To streamline this expert diagnostic opinion process to the patients, in daily routine, Expert System (ES) using artificial neural network can be employed. It is the method which can simulate two very important characteristics of humans, learning and generalization. Using ANN algorithms various types of medical data are handled and output is achieved with defining various relations between that data. Radiology is one of the branches of medical science in which various medical imaging techniques are used to diagnose difference internal medical problems. Digital imageprocessing is the science of processing various digital images: such that important information will be generated. An Expert System is also an efficient tool from which diagnosis can be made. Integrating outcomes of neural network from diseased X-ray, to the knowledge based expert system;an expert opinion of diagnosing disease can be generated. In this paper a model is proposed for diagnosing, seven lower lumbar problems as degenerative diseases.

People with hearing and speech impairments have to face a lot of difficulties while communicating with the general public. Being a minority, the sign language used by them is not known to a majority of people. In this paper, an Indian sign language converter was developed using a Convolutional Neural Network algorithm with the aim to classify the 26 letters of the Indian Sign Language into their equivalent alphabet letters by capturing a real time image of that sign and converting it to its text equivalent. First a database was created in various backgrounds and various image pre-processing techniques were used to make the database ready for feature extraction. After feature extraction, the images were fed into the CNN using the python software. Several real time images were tested to find the accuracy and efficiency. The results showed a 96% accuracy for the testing images and an accuracy of 87.69% for real time images.
