Portable and low-cost optical coherence tomography (OCT) is increasingly used to improve the accuracy of point-of-care applications. The increasing research efforts to use photonics integrated circuits (PIC) is without doubts the future for highest packaging densities in miniature optical systems. MR-OCT is another technology that is using the advantages of well known CD,DVD-ROM technology to build miniaturized and low-cost OCT systems and may be more readily available before PICs reach their full potential. For MR-OCT it is essential to separate the the multiple signals originating from the multiple reflections of the partial mirror in the reference arm of Michelson interferometer. An image analysis on MR-OCT scans is performed for filter types such as a Chebychev2 and an elliptic filter, but also an FFT filter with Gaussian window is discussed. The SNR is compared on a variety of filter parameters and the quality of the point spread function along the scan depth.

We describe an object replacement approach whereby privacy-sensitive objects in videos are replaced by abstract cartoons taken from clip art. Our approach uses a combination of computer vision, deep learning, and imageprocessing techniques to detect objects, abstract details, and replace them with cartoon clip art. We conducted a user study (N=85) to discern the utility and effectiveness of our cartoon replacement technique. The results suggest that our object replacement approach preserves a video's semantic content while improving its privacy by obscuring details of objects.

This paper presents 2D imageprocessing approach to playback detection in automatic speaker verification ( ASV) systems using spectrograms as speech signal representation. Three feature extraction and classification methods: histograms of oriented gradients ( HOG) with support vector machines ( SVM), HAAR wavelets with AdaBoost classifier and deep convolutional neural networks ( CNN) were compared on different data partitions in respect of speakers or playback devices: for instance with different speakers in training and test subsets. The playback detection systems were trained and tested on two speech datasets S-1 and S-2 manufactured independently by two different institutions. The test error for both datasets oscillates about the level of 1% for HOG+SVM and even below it for CNN in bigger S-1 base. In cross validation scenario in which one base was used for training and second base for the test the results were very poor what suggests that the information relevant for playback detection appeared in each base in different way.

This paper presents an original framework based on deep learning and preference learning to retrieve and characterize biomedical images for assisting physicians in diagnosing complex diseases with potentially only small differences between them. In particular, we use deep learning to extract the high-level and compact features for biomedical images. In contrast to the traditional biomedical algorithms or general image retrieval systems that only consider the use of pixel and/or hand-crafted features to represent images, we utilize deep neural networks for feature discovery of biomedical images. Moreover, in order to be able to index the similarly referenced images, we introduce preference learning in a novel way to learn what kinds of images we need so that we can obtain the similarity ranking list of biomedical images. We evaluate the performance of our system in detailed experiments over the well-known available OASIS-MRI database for whole brain neuroimaging as a benchmark and compare it with those of the traditional biomedical and general image retrieval approaches. Our proposed system exhibits an outstanding retrieval ability and efficiency for biomedical image applications.

Brain computer interface (BCI) is the only way for some special patients to communicate with the outside world and provide a direct control channel between brain and the external devices. As a non-invasive interface, the scalp electroencephalography (EEG) has a significant potential to be a major input signal for future BCI systems. Traditional methods only focus on a particular feature in the EEG signal, which limits the practical applications of EEG-based BCI. In this paper, we propose a algorithm for EEG classification with the ability to fuse multiple features. First, use the common spatial pattern (CSP) as the spatial feature and use wavelet coefficient as the spectral feature. Second, fuse these features with a fusion algorithm in orchestrate way to improve the accuracy of classification. Our algorithms are applied to the dataset IVa from BCI complete iii. By analyzing the experimental results, it is possible to conclude that we can speculate that our algorithm perform better than traditional methods.

Laser spot detection is an important problem in optical measurement. The precision and speed of the detection algorithm influence the optical measurement system directly. The traditional algorithms such as Hough Transform and Gravity model are unsatisfactory in complex conditions. The laser spot detection algorithm referred in this paper is based on the quaternion discrete cosine transform and moment and a method is adopted to approximate the edge of the laser spot. Not only the center and edge can be detected simultaneously but also the robustness of noise is better than others. The algorithm is suitable for the real-time optical measurement.

Methods to reconstruct pictures from imagery degraded by atmospheric turbulence have been under development for decades. The techniques were initially developed for observing astronomical phenomena from the Earth's surface, but have more recently been modified for ground and air surveillance scenarios. Such applications can impose significant constraints on deployment options because they both increase the computational complexity of the algorithms themselves and often dictate a requirement for low size, weight, and power (SWaP) form factors. Consequently, embedded implementations must be developed that can perform the necessary computations on low-SWaP platforms. Fortunately, there is an emerging class of embedded processors driven by the mobile and ubiquitous computing industries. We have leveraged these processors to develop embedded versions of the core atmospheric correction engine found in our ATCOM software. In this paper, we will present our experience adapting our algorithms for embedded systems on a chip (SoCs), namely the NVIDIA Tegra that couples general-purpose ARM cores with their graphics processing unit (GPU) technology and the Xilinx Zynq which pairs similar ARM cores with their field-programmable gate array (FPGA) fabric.

The problem of automatic reliability monitoring and reliability-centered maintenance is increasingly important today. In this paper, we compare the accuracy of four machine learning approaches for fault detection in a hydraulic system. The first three approaches are based on SVM classifiers with linear, polynomial and RBF kernels and the last one is a gradient boosting on oblivious decision trees. We evaluate algorithms on the synthetic dataset generated by our simulation model of the helicopter hydraulic system and show that high accuracy fault detection can be achieved.

Modern hydraulic systems should be monitored on the regular basis. One of the most effective ways to address this task is utilizing in-line automatic particle counters (APC) built inside of the system. The measurement of particle concentration in hydraulic liquid by APC is crucial because increasing numbers of particles should mean functional problems. Existing automatic particle counters have significant limitation for the precise measurement of relatively low concentration of particle in aerospace systems or they are unable to measure higher concentration in industrial ones. Both issues can be addressed by implementation of the CMOS image sensor instead of single photodiode used in the most of APC. CMOS image sensor helps to overcome the problem of the errors in volume measurement caused by inequality of particle speed inside of tube. Correction is based on the determination of the particle position and parabolic velocity distribution profile. Proposed algorithms are also suitable for reducing the errors related to the particles matches in measurement volume. The results of simulation show that the accuracy increased up to 90 per cent and the resolution improved ten times more compared to the single photodiode sensor.

We investigate efficient sensitivity analysis (SA) of algorithms that segment and classify image features in a large dataset of high-resolution images. Algorithm SA is the process of evaluating variations of methods and parameter values to quantify differences in the output. A SA can be very compute demanding because it requires re-processing the input dataset several times with different parameters to assess variations in output. In this work, we introduce strategies to efficiently speed up SA via runtime optimizations targeting distributed hybrid systems and reuse of computations from runs with different parameters. We evaluate our approach using a cancer image analysis workflow on a hybrid cluster with 256 nodes, each with an Intel Phi and a dual socket CPU. The SA attained a parallel efficiency of over 90% on 256 nodes. The cooperative execution using the CPUs and the Phi available in each node with smart task assignment strategies resulted in an additional speedup of about 2x. Finally, multi-level computation reuse lead to an additional speedup of up to 2.46x on the parallel version. The level of performance attained with the proposed optimizations will allow the use of SA in large-scale studies.
