Due to the tremendous increase in the usage of computer technologies, image-processing techniques have become one among the most important and rapidly used one in a wide variety of applications, especially in medical imaging. The basic idea of the medical image analysis is to improve the imaging content. A typical medical imaging system is composed of five main processing steps namely, image acquisition, enhancement, segmentation, feature extraction/selection and classification. In this paper, we have done a study on the current state - of - art techniques that have been used in various stages of medical image analysis. The methodologies used and technical issues in each stage have been discussed. In addition, this paper also addresses the challenges faced by researchers during the implementation and outline of the pros and cons of the existing algorithms.

We review the recent progress on the application of imageprocessing techniques to optical communication systems. The focus is placed mainly on the implementation complexity and performance of the techniques for optical performance monitoring and the compensation of common phase error. We also briefly introduce several applications where machine learning algorithms could be beneficial to fiber-optic transmission system.

(Background and objectives): Retinal cysts are formed by accumulation of fluid in the retina caused by leakages from inflammation or vitreous fractures. Analysis of the retinal cystic spaces holds significance in detection and treatment of several ocular diseases like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema etc. Thus, segmentation of intra-retinal cysts and quantification of cystic spaces are vital for retinal pathology and severity detection. In the recent years, automated segmentation of intra-retinal cysts using optical coherence tomography B-scans has gained significant importance in the field of retinal image analysis. The objective of this paper is to compare different intra-retinal cyst segmentation algorithms for comparative analysis and benchmarking purposes. (Methods): In this work, we employ a modular approach for standardizing the different segmentation algorithms. Further, we analyze the variations in automated cyst segmentation performances and method scalability across image acquisition systems by using the publicly available cyst segmentation challenge dataset (OPTIMA cyst segmentation challenge). (Results): Several key automated methods are comparatively analyzed using quantitative and qualitative experiments. Our analysis demonstrates the significance of variations in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), retinal layer morphology and post-processing steps on the automated cyst segmentation processes. (Conclusion): This benchmarking study provides insights towards the scalability of automated processes across vendor-specific imaging modalities to provide guidance for retinal pathology diagnostics and treatment processes.

Videostroboscopy is a common technique used by phoniatricians for diagnosing vocal folds status by imaging their oscillations. Implementation of imageprocessing methods allows to extract qualitative description and quantitative indices. Such an analysis approach allows to detect glottal pathological changes and monitor the voice quality. Presented analysis of the videostroboscopic sequences were carried for 12 individuals i.e. 6 patients with diagnosed vocal nodules and 6 normophonic individuals classified as a control group. image pre-processing and image segmentation algorithms were applied to compute the glottal area waveform (GAW) and the glottovibragram during phonation and to build a novel representation of vocal folds oscillations which we called the glottocorrelogram. The obtained results confirm that computer analysis and new representations of the phonation process of the glottis can aid the phoniatricians in diagnosis of voice disorders.

In the imageprocessing (IP) domain, optimization algorithms have to be applied in many cases. Nature-inspired heuristics allow obtaining near optimal solutions using lower computing resources. In this paper the Fireworks Algorithm (FWA) behavior is studied for image Registration (IR) problems. The IR results accuracy is analyzed for different types of images, mainly in case of pixel based registration using the Normalized Mutual Information. FWA is compared to Particle Swarming (PSO), Cuckoo Search (CSA) and Genetic algorithms (GA) in terms of results accuracy and number of objective function evaluations required to obtain the optimal geometric transform parameters. Because the pixel based IR may fail in case of images containing graphic drawings, a features based IR approach is proposed for this class of images. Comparing to other nature inspired algorithms, FWA performances are close to those of PSO and CSA in terms of accuracy. Considering the required computing time, that is determined by the number of cost function evaluations, FWA is little slower than PSO and much faster than CSA and GA.

Few-shot learning has become essential for producing models that generalize from few examples. In this work, we identify that metric scaling and metric task conditioning are important to improve the performance of few-shot algorithms. Our analysis reveals that simple metric scaling completely changes the nature of few-shot algorithm parameter updates. Metric scaling provides improvements up to 14% in accuracy for certain metrics on the mini-imagenet 5-way 5-shot classification task. We further propose a simple and effective way of conditioning a learner on the task sample set, resulting in learning a task-dependent metric space. Moreover, we propose and empirically test a practical end-to-end optimization procedure based on auxiliary task co-training to learn a task-dependent metric space. The resulting few-shot learning model based on the task-dependent scaled metric achieves state of the art on mini-imagenet. We confirm these results on another few-shot dataset that we introduce in this paper based on CIFAR100.

Nowadays it becomes more and more critical to process the increasingly large amounts of data in timely manner. In order to meet this requirement and ensure the reliable processing of streaming data, a variety of distributed stream processing architectures and platforms have been developed, which handles the fundamental task of allocating processing tasks to the currently available physical resources and routing streaming data between these resources. However, many stream processingsystems lack an intelligent scheduling mechanism, in which their default schedulers allocate tasks without taking resource demands and availability, or the transfer latency between resources into consideration. Besides stream processing has a strict request for latency. Thus it's important to give latency guarantee for distributed stream processing. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for stream processing with latency guarantee, the algorithm both consider transfer latency and resource demand in the process of task allocation. Extensive experiments verify the correctness and effectiveness of our approach. Under the condition of satisfying the latency constraints, the heuristic algorithm AHA on average, reduce more than 21.3% and 58.9% resources compared with the greedy and the round-robin algorithms.
