The results of the study of semantic processing of spectral information in the intelligent radar systems are presented. A method for formalizing the processes of perception and transformation of spectral images based on algebra of finite predicates is developed. A model for semantic processing of spectral image for surveillance radars has been developed and implemented. To analyze the features of clutter spectra and air object signals authors investigate the decision making algorithms of a human-operator. Spectral pattern is described as a predicate on the set of spectral channels that exceed the certain threshold value. The predicates-signs are introduced to indentify spectral types. Instantaneous spectrum is corresponded to one type of spectrum by a combination of these predicates. A functional diagram for automatic identification of spectral types, based on these equations, is built. The algorithm for analyzing of the clutter spectrum and recognizing of the air objects, based on algebra of finite predicates, which is proposed in the paper, allows to define all signs and automatically recognize air objects in real time.

Accurate segmentation of the myocardial fibrosis or scar may provide important advancements for the prediction and management of malignant ventricular arrhythmias in patients with cardiovascular disease. In this paper, we propose a semi-automated method for segmentation of myocardial scar from late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance image (LGE-MRI) using a convolutional neural network (CNN). In contrast to image intensity-based methods, CNN based algorithms have the potential to improve the accuracy of scar segmentation through the creation of high-level features from a combination of convolutional, detection and pooling layers. Our developed algorithm was trained using 2,336,703 image patches extracted from 420 slices of five 3D LGE-MR datasets, then validated on 2,204,178 patches from a testing dataset of seven 3D LGE-MR images including 624 slices, all obtained from patients with chronic myocardial infarction. For evaluation of the algorithm, we compared the algorithm-generated segmentations to manual delineations by experts. Our CNN-based method reported an average Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), precision, and recall of 94.50 +/- 3.62%, 96.08 +/- 3.10%, and 93.96 +/- 3.75% as the accuracy of segmentation, respectively. As compared to several intensity threshold-based methods for scar segmentation, the results of our developed method have a greater agreement with manual expert segmentation.

An optimization algorithm for image recovery is a core issue in the field of compressive sensing (CS). This paper deeply studied the CS reconstruction algorithm based on split Bregman iteration with l(1) norm, which enables the l(1) norm to approximate the original l(0) norm during the optimization process. Consequently, we proposed another novel algorithm improving the precision and the convergence speed based on split quadratic Bregman iteration (SQBI) with l(0) norm. Besides, we analyzed its convergence by proving two monotonically decreasing theorems. Inspired by previous researches, we applied smoothed l(0) norm for the optimization problem to replace the traditional to norm in CS. The improvement is made by using a Gaussian function to approximate the l(0) norm, transforming it into a convex optimization problem, and eventually achieved a convergent solution by the steepest descent method. The experimental results show that under the same conditions, compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms, the reconstruction accuracy of the CS reconstruction algorithm based on the SQBI with smoothed l(0) norm is improved significantly, and its convergence rate is also accelerated as well.

Over the past few years, a lot of research has been carried out in eye gaze recognition and its applications. From controlling wheelchairs to selecting options on a screen, utilizing the gaze of an individual has become a long-sought way for performing these tasks and in turn making the life of several differently abled people easy. In this paper a novel methodology to perform iris segmentation and gaze recognition has been introduced and described. The method elaborated utilizes a segmentation algorithm which can successfully extract the iris under varying lighting conditions with the help of machine learning. All experiments were conducted using the MATLAB R2013a software and a speed improvement of almost 3.433 times was achieved as opposed to other popular methods of iris extraction. In terms of accuracy, the algorithm proved to be 86% accurate and was also adopted to control an actual wheelchair.

In this paper, we propose a low-cost wearable technology model to control and monitor chronic diseases for healthcare. We enhance prior models by focusing on low cost components, and we assess the current hardware and systems applications offered in the market. Our proposed model also emphasizes the application of real-time data analysis for the healthcare organization. The model consists of six components: 1. Data acquisition;2. Data processing;3. Information Results;4. Decision making Support;5. Technology Platform;6. Framework for personal data protection. The model was validated with a group of 12 females over 70 years who were diagnosed with tumors at different stages. The preliminary results show that the mean temperature difference between the armpits and malignant tumors is 0.7 +/- 0.5, while the mean temperature difference between the armpits and benign tumors is 2.1 +/- 0.5.
