A Quantitative Validation Of Multi-Modal Image Fusion And Segmentation For Object Detection And Tracking, Nicholas Lahaye, Michael J. Garay, Brian D. Bue, Hesham El-Askary, Erik Linstead

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

In previous works, we have shown the efficacy of using Deep Belief Networks, paired with clustering, to identify distinct classes of objects within remotely sensed data via cluster analysis and qualitative analysis of the output data in comparison with reference data. In this paper, we quantitatively validate the methodology against datasets currently being generated and used within the remote sensing community, as well as show the capabilities and benefits of the data fusion methodologies used. The experiments run take the output of our unsupervised fusion and segmentation methodology and map them to various labeled datasets at different levels of global …

Machine Learning-Based Recognition On Crowdsourced Food Images, Aditya Kulkarni

Honors Scholar Theses

With nearly a third of the world’s population suffering from food-induced chronic diseases such as obesity, the role of food in community health is required now more than ever. While current research underscores food proximity and density, there is a dearth in regard to its nutrition and quality. However, recent research in geospatial data collection and analysis as well as intelligent deep learning will help us study this further.

Employing the efficiency and interconnection of computer vision and geospatial technology, we want to study whether healthy food in the community is attainable. Specifically, with the help of deep learning in …

Infrared Image Segmentation Of Aircraft Skin Based On Otsu And Improved I-Ching Divination Evolutionary Algorithm, Kun Wang, Ji Yao, Peilun Liu, Wang Li

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Infrared thermal imaging non-destructive testing is one of the commonly used methods for aircraft skin detection. Aiming at Otsu's large computational complexity and poor real-time performance, an aircraft skin infrared image segmentation method based on Otsu and an improved I-Ching divination evolutionary algorithm (IDEA) is proposed. The roulette selection operator is improved by using roulette selection for the I-Ching map of state size 3n, from which the n individuals with the maximum fitness values are then selected as new populations. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to several other improved optimization algorithms both in terms …

Ship Deck Segmentation In Engineering Document Using Generative Adversarial Networks, Mohammad Shahab Uddin, Raphael Pamie-George, Daron Wilkins, Andres Sousa Poza, Mustafa Canan, Samuel Kovacic, Jiang Li

Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Faculty Publications

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have become very popular in recent years. GANs have proved to be successful in different computer vision tasks including image-translation, image super-resolution etc. In this paper, we have used GAN models for ship deck segmentation. We have used 2D scanned raster images of ship decks provided by US Navy Military Sealift Command (MSC) to extract necessary information including ship walls, objects etc. Our segmentation results will be helpful to get vector and 3D image of a ship that can be later used for maintenance of the ship. We applied the trained models to engineering documents provided …

Impact Of Image Segmentation Techniques On Celiac Disease Classification Usingscale Invariant Texture Descriptors For Standard Flexible Endoscopic Systems, Manarbek Saken, Munkhtsetseg Banzragch Yağci, Nejat Yumuşak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Celiac disease (CD) is quite common and is a proximal small bowel disease that develops as a permanentintolerance to gluten and other cereal proteins in cereals. It is considered as one of the most di?icult diseases to diagnose.Histopathological evidence of small bowel biopsies taken during endoscopy remains the gold standard for diagnosis.Therefore, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems in endoscopy are a newly emerging technology to enhance thediagnostic accuracy of the disease and to save time and manpower. For this reason, a hybrid machine learning methodshave been applied for the CAD of celiac disease. Firstly, a context-based optimal multilevel thresholding technique wasemployed …
