Breast-Region Segmentation In Mri Using Chest Region Atlas And Svm, Aida Fooladivanda, Shahriar Baradaran Shokouhi, Nasrin Ahmadinejad
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
An important step for computerized analysis of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is segmentation of the breast region. Due to the similar signal intensity of fibroglandular tissue and the chest wall, the segmentation process is difficult for breasts with fibroglandular tissue connected to the chest wall. In order to overcome this challenge, a new framework is presented that relies on a chest region atlas. The proposed method first detects the approximated breast-chest wall boundary using an intensity-based operation. A support vector machine (SVM) then determines the connectivity of fibroglandular tissue to the chest wall by the extracted features from the …

This paper proposes a new method to detect and classify all kinds of faults, capacitor switching, and load switching in a power system network based on wavelet transform and support vector machines (SVMs). In this regard, a sample of a power system is simulated via MATLAB/Simulink, and by reading the voltage of the point of common coupling and using the wavelet transform, the differences of the outputs of the wavelet transform are investigated. The SVM approach is employed to distinguish the type of the transient (capacitor switching, fault, and/or load switching) in use for the high level outputs of the …

Hamstring and quadriceps muscles are essential for the performance of athletes in various sport branches. Hamstring muscles control running activities and stabilize the knee during turns or tackles, while quadriceps muscles play an important role in jumping and kicking. Although hamstring and quadriceps muscle strength in athletes can be accurately measured using isokinetic dynamometry, practical difficulties, such as the requirement of nonportable and costly equipment as well as a long period of measurement time, motivate the researcher to predict hamstring and quadriceps muscle strength using promising machine-learning methods. The purpose of this study is to build prediction models for estimating …

Generalized Referenceless Image Quality Assessment Framework Using Texture Energy Measures And Pattern Strength Features, Jayashri Bagade, Kulbir Singh, Yogesh Dandawate
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Referenceless image quality assessment is a challenging and critical problem in today's multimedia applica\-tions. Texture patterns in images are normally at high frequencies compared to lower ones. Due to the effect of distortions during acquisition, compression, and transmission, texture deviation artifacts are generated that cause a granular effect in the image. Other artifacts, such as blocking, affect high frequencies in an image, causing distorted edges. Combining the analysis of texture deviation and other artifacts helps in determining the quality of an image. The proposed approach uses variation in the energy of pixels to quantify the quality of an image. These …
