Detecting boundary surface for the object of interest within 3D biomedical images is an important step towards understanding and quantitative analysis of the object. However, existing 3D edge detection techniques have the limitations in detecting connected edge voxels and tracing undetected edge voxels from 3D images. In this paper, we propose a new strategy to detect boundary surface for the object of interest in 3D biomedical image. The new strategy utilizes the connectivity of boundary surface in the detection and tracing of edge voxels, and is much effective in overcoming the two limitations existing in 3D edge detectors. The performance and advantages of the proposed method are illustrated by many examples from different 3D biomedical images.

Based on the thought of ensemble forecast, Ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) gives a typical implementation of Bayesian estimation in Monte-Carlo simulation. However, the sampling process of particles excessively relies on the priori modeling information form the system state transition in EnKF, which inevitably causes the particle degeneracy phenomenon. In this paper, we propose a novel Ensemble Kalman filtering algorithm based on weights optimization of sampling particles. Firstly, combining with the importance-sampling technique, the contribution degree of state estimation from particles is effectively measured. Secondly, by increasing particles numbers with high weights and decreasing particles numbers with low weights, the sampling particles set is optimized in the global sense. In addition, the estimated method of importance weights on the basis of virtual observation is constructed in the framework of EnKF, and the adverse effects on the reliability and stability of particle weights caused by the observation random noise are improved. The experimental results show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

CT scans are an exceptional tool for quantitative airway analysis. Due to the complex voxel connectivity and branch structure of the airway, precise and fine segmentation results are difficult to accomplish. We propose a fully automated and end-to-end approach for airway segmentation and branch detection in chest CT based on U-Net architecture. We introduce the SE Normalization as a module for feature calibration and the hard region adaptation loss function based on cross entropy (HRA_CE) for dynamically maintaining class balance throughout the training period. We present a brand-new metric Branch DSC designed exclusively to assess the branch structure. We validate the suggested method on a dataset of 46 airway samples, and the experimental findings demonstrate that our proposed method significantly improves branch detection and segmentation continuity.

The interpretation of neural network behavior is of particular interest in neural network research. Visualization methods provide the necessary means to simultaneously analyze the huge amount of information hidden in the network. The authors propose a framework for visualization methods suited for feed forward neural networks. The basic idea is to use the spatial information available outside the network to arrange the data to be visualized (weights, activations of units) in the spatial domain of the display. Several examples which illustrate the proposed framework are presented.< >

Most pedestrian detection approaches that achieve high accuracy and precision rate and that can be used for real-time applications are based on histograms of gradient orientations. Usually multiscale detection is attained by resizing the image several times and by recomputing the image features or using multiple classifiers for different scales. In this paper we present a pedestrian detection approach that uses the same classifier for all pedestrian scales based on image features computed for a single scale. We go beyond the low level pixel-wise gradient orientation bins and use higher level visual words organized into Word Channels. Boosting is used to learn classification features from the integral Word Channels. The proposed approach is evaluated on multiple datasets and achieves outstanding results on the INRIA and Caltech-USA benchmarks. By using a GPU implementation we achieve a classification rate of over 10 million bounding boxes per second and a 16 FPS rate for multiscale detection in a 640×480 image.
