Detection Of Microcalcification Clusters In Digitized X-Ray Mammograms Using Unsharp Masking And Image Statistics, Peli̇n Kuş, İrfan Karagöz Jan 2013

Detection Of Microcalcification Clusters In Digitized X-Ray Mammograms Using Unsharp Masking And Image Statistics, Peli̇n Kuş, İrfan Karagöz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A fully automated method for detecting microcalcification (MC) clusters in regions of interest (ROIs) extracted from digitized X-ray mammograms is proposed. In the first stage, an unsharp masking is used to perform the contrast enhancement of the MCs. In the second stage, the ROIs are decomposed into a 2-level contourlet representation and the reconstruction is obtained by eliminating the low-frequency subband in the second level. In the third stage, statistical textural features are extracted from the ROIs and they are classified using support vector machines. To test the performance of the method, 57 ROIs selected from the Mammographic Image Analysis …


A Combined Protective Scheme For Fault Classification And Identification Of Faulty Section In Series Compensated Transmission Lines, Resul Çöteli̇ Jan 2013

A Combined Protective Scheme For Fault Classification And Identification Of Faulty Section In Series Compensated Transmission Lines, Resul Çöteli̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The fault detection process is very difficult in transmission lines with a fixed series capacitor because of the nonlinear behavior of protection device and series-parallel resonance. This paper proposes a new method based on S-transform (ST) and support vector machines (SVMs) for fault classification and identification of a faulty section in a transmission line with a fixed series capacitor placed at the middle of the line. In the proposed method, the fault detection process is carried out by using distinctive features of 3-line signals (line voltages and currents) and zero sequence current. The relevant features of these signals are obtained …


A Video-Based Eye Pupil Detection System For Diagnosing Bipolar Disorder, Gökay Akinci, Edi̇z Polat, Orhan Murat Koçak Jan 2013

A Video-Based Eye Pupil Detection System For Diagnosing Bipolar Disorder, Gökay Akinci, Edi̇z Polat, Orhan Murat Koçak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Eye pupil detection systems have become increasingly popular in image processing and computer vision applications in medical systems. In this study, a video-based eye pupil detection system is developed for diagnosing bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a condition in which people experience changes in cognitive processes and abilities, including reduced attentional and executive capabilities and impaired memory. In order to detect these abnormal behaviors, a number of neuropsychological tests are also designed to measure attentional and executive abilities. The system acquires the position and radius information of eye pupils in video sequences using an active contour snake model with an …


Hybrid Spr Algorithm To Select Predictive Genes For Effectual Cancer Classification, Aruna Sundaram, Nandakishore Lellapalli Venkata, Rajagopalan Sarukai Parthasarathy Jan 2013

Hybrid Spr Algorithm To Select Predictive Genes For Effectual Cancer Classification, Aruna Sundaram, Nandakishore Lellapalli Venkata, Rajagopalan Sarukai Parthasarathy

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Designing an automated system for classifying DNA microarray data is an extremely challenging problem because of its high dimension and low amount of sample data. In this paper, a hybrid statistical pattern recognition algorithm is proposed to reduce the dimensionality and select the predictive genes for the classification of cancer. Colon cancer gene expression profiles having 62 samples of 2000 genes were used for the experiment. A gene subset of 6 highly informative genes was selected by the algorithm, which provided a classification accuracy of 93.5%.
