Conditional Generative Adversarial Network Demosaicing Strategy For Division Of Focal Plane Polarimeters, Garrett Sargent, Bradley M. Ratliff, Vijayan K. Asari Dec 2020

Conditional Generative Adversarial Network Demosaicing Strategy For Division Of Focal Plane Polarimeters, Garrett Sargent, Bradley M. Ratliff, Vijayan K. Asari

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Division of focal plane (DoFP), or integrated microgrid polarimeters, typically consist of a 2 × 2 mosaic of linear polarization filters overlaid upon a focal plane array sensor and obtain temporally synchronized polarized intensity measurements across a scene, similar in concept to a Bayer color filter array camera. However, the resulting estimated polarimetric images suffer a loss in resolution and can be plagued by aliasing due to the spatially-modulated microgrid measurement strategy. Demosaicing strategies have been proposed that attempt to minimize these effects, but result in some level of residual artifacts. In this work we propose a conditional generative adversarial …

Transfer-To-Transfer Learning Approach For Computer Aided Detection Of Covid-19 In Chest Radiographs, Barath Narayanan Narayanan, Russell C. Hardie, Vignesh Krishnaraja, Christina Karam, Venkata Salini Priyamvada Davuluru

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic has severely impacted lives across the globe. Respiratory disorders in COVID-19 patients are caused by lung opacities similar to viral pneumonia. A Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) system for the detection of COVID-19 using chest radiographs would provide a second opinion for radiologists. For this research, we utilize publicly available datasets that have been marked by radiologists into two-classes (COVID-19 and non-COVID-19). We address the class imbalance problem associated with the training dataset by proposing a novel transfer-to-transfer learning approach, where we break a highly imbalanced training dataset into a group of balanced mini-sets and …

With the advancement of technology, there is a growing need of classifying malware programs that could potentially harm any computer system and/or smaller devices. In this research, an ensemble classification system comprising convolutional and recurrent neural networks is proposed to distinguish malware programs. Microsoft's Malware Classification Challenge (BIG 2015) dataset with nine distinct classes is utilized for this study. This dataset contains an assembly file and a compiled file for each malware program. Compiled files are visualized as images and are classified using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Assembly files consist of machine language opcodes that are distinguished among classes using …

Two-Stage Deep Learning Architecture For Pneumonia Detection And Its Diagnosis In Chest Radiographs, Barath Narayanan, Venkata Salini Priyamvada Davuluru, Russell C. Hardie

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Approximately two million pediatric deaths occur every year due to Pneumonia. Detection and diagnosis of Pneumonia plays an important role in reducing these deaths. Chest radiography is one of the most commonly used modalities to detect pneumonia. In this paper, we propose a novel two-stage deep learning architecture to detect pneumonia and classify its type in chest radiographs. This architecture contains one network to classify images as either normal or pneumonic, and another deep learning network to classify the type as either bacterial or viral. In this paper, we study and compare the performance of various stage one networks such …

In the above article [1], Figure 2 was incorrect. Unfortunately, we mixed the color label of "CONV $\to $ BN $\to $ ReLu" and "Unpooling" in the CNN structure section of Figure 2. The color label of "CONV $\to $ BN $\to $ ReLu" should be orange while the color label of "Unpooling" should be green. Also, the word "Decoder" is misspelled. That same figure with the same error is also used for the graphic abstract. The corrected figure is given here. None of the sections in the figure is modified. The only change is in the color label of …

Mitotic cell detection is one of the challenging problems in the field of computational pathology. Currently, mitotic cell detection and counting are one of the strongest prognostic markers for breast cancer diagnosis. The clinical visual inspection on histology slides is tedious, error prone, and time consuming for the pathologist. Thus, automatic mitotic cell detection approaches are highly demanded in clinical practice. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end multi-task learning system for mitosis detection from pathological images which is named"MitosisNet". MitosisNet consist of segmentation, detection, and classification models where the segmentation, and detection models are used for mitosis reference region …

Rising global temperatures over the past decades is directly affecting glacier dynamics. To understand glacier fluctuations and document regional glacier-state trends, glacier-boundary detection is necessary. Debris-covered glacier (DCG) mapping, however, is notoriously difficult using conventional geospatial technology methods. Therefore, in this research for automated DCG mapping, we evaluate the utility of a convolutional neural network (CNN), which is a deep learning feed-forward neural network. The CNN inputs include Landsat satellite images, an Advanced Land Observation Satellite (ALOS) digital elevation model (DEM) and DEM-derived land-surface parameters. Our CNN based deep-learning approach named GlacierNet was designed by appropriately choosing the type, number …

Ev Charging Behavior Analysis Using Hybrid Intelligence For 5g Smart Grid, Yi Shen, Wei Fang, Feng Ye, Michel Kadoch

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the widespread use of electric vehicles (EV), vehicle-to-grid (V2G) has sparked considerable discussion as an energy-management technology. Due to the inherently high maneuverability of EVs, V2G systems must provide on-demand service for EVs. Therefore, in this work, we propose a hybrid computing architecture based on fog and cloud with applications in 5G-based V2G networks. This architecture allows the bi-directional flow of power and information between schedulable EVs and smart grids (SGs) to improve the quality of service and cost-effectiveness of energy service providers. However, it is very important to select …

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Lung segmentation is a significant step in developing computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) using Chest Radiographs (CRs). CRs are used for diagnosis of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), lung cancer, tuberculosis, and pneumonia. Hence, developing a Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) system would provide a second opinion to help radiologists in the reading process, increase objectivity, and reduce the workload. In this paper, we present the implementation of our ensemble deep learning model for lung segmentation. This model is based on the original DeepLabV3+, which is the extended model of DeepLabV3. Our model utilizes various architectures as a backbone of DeepLabV3+, such as …


Patch-Based Gaussian Mixture Model For Scene Motion Detection In The Presence Of Atmospheric Optical Turbulence, Richard L. Van Hook, Russell C. Hardie Jan 2020

Patch-Based Gaussian Mixture Model For Scene Motion Detection In The Presence Of Atmospheric Optical Turbulence, Richard L. Van Hook, Russell C. Hardie

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

In long-range imaging regimes, atmospheric turbulence degrades image quality. In addition to blurring, the turbulence causes geometric distortion effects that introduce apparent motion in acquired video. This is problematic for image processing tasks, including image enhancement and restoration (e.g., superresolution) and aided target recognition (e.g., vehicle trackers). To mitigate these warping effects from turbulence, it is necessary to distinguish between actual in-scene motion and apparent motion caused by atmospheric turbulence. Previously, the current authors generated a synthetic video by injecting moving objects into a static scene and then applying a well-validated anisoplanatic atmospheric optical turbulence simulator. With known per-pixel truth …
