Wound Image Classification Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks, Behrouz Rostami
Wound Image Classification Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks, Behrouz Rostami
Theses and Dissertations
Artificial Intelligence (AI) includes subfields like Machine Learning (ML) and DeepLearning (DL) and discusses intelligent systems that mimic human behaviors. ML has been used in a wide range of fields. Particularly in the healthcare domain, medical images often need to be carefully processed via such operations as classification and segmentation. Unlike traditional ML methods, DL algorithms are based on deep neural networks that are trained on a large amount of labeled data to extract features without human intervention. DL algorithms have become popular and powerful in classifying and segmenting medical images in recent years. In this thesis, we shall study …
Scatter Reduction By Exploiting Behaviour Of Convolutional Neural Networks In Frequency Domain, Carlos Ivan Jerez Gonzalez
Scatter Reduction By Exploiting Behaviour Of Convolutional Neural Networks In Frequency Domain, Carlos Ivan Jerez Gonzalez
Theses and Dissertations
In X-ray imaging, scattered radiation can produce a number of artifacts that greatly
undermine the image quality. There are hardware solutions, such as anti-scatter grids.
However, they are costly. A software-based solution is a better option because it is
cheaper and can achieve a higher scatter reduction. Most of the current software-based
approaches are model-based. The main issues with them are the lack of flexibility, expressivity, and the requirement of a model. In consideration of this, we decided to apply
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), since they do not have any of the previously
mentioned issues.
In our approach we split …
Model Augmented Deep Neural Networks For Medical Image Reconstruction Problems, Hongquan Zuo
Model Augmented Deep Neural Networks For Medical Image Reconstruction Problems, Hongquan Zuo
Theses and Dissertations
Solving an ill-posed inverse problem is difficult because it doesn't have a unique solution. In practice, for some important inverse problems, the conventional methods, e.g. ordinary least squares and iterative methods, cannot provide a good estimate. For example, for single image super-resolution and CT reconstruction, the results of these conventional methods cannot satisfy the requirements of these applications. While having more computational resources and high-quality data, researchers try to use machine-learning-based methods, especially deep learning to solve these ill-posed problems. In this dissertation, a model augmented recursive neural network is proposed as a general inverse problem method to solve these …
Machine Intelligence For Advanced Medical Data Analysis: Manifold Learning Approach, Fereshteh S Bashiri
Machine Intelligence For Advanced Medical Data Analysis: Manifold Learning Approach, Fereshteh S Bashiri
Theses and Dissertations
In the current work, linear and non-linear manifold learning techniques, specifically Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and Laplacian Eigenmaps, are studied in detail. Their applications in medical image and shape analysis are investigated.
In the first contribution, a manifold learning-based multi-modal image registration technique is developed, which results in a unified intensity system through intensity transformation between the reference and sensed images. The transformation eliminates intensity variations in multi-modal medical scans and hence facilitates employing well-studied mono-modal registration techniques. The method can be used for registering multi-modal images with full and partial data.
Next, a manifold learning-based scale invariant global shape …
Design And Implementation Of A Domain Specific Language For Deep Learning, Xiao Bing Huang
Design And Implementation Of A Domain Specific Language For Deep Learning, Xiao Bing Huang
Theses and Dissertations
\textit {Deep Learning} (DL) has found great success in well-diversified areas such as machine vision, speech recognition, big data analysis, and multimedia understanding recently. However, the existing state-of-the-art DL frameworks, e.g. Caffe2, Theano, TensorFlow, MxNet, Torch7, and CNTK, are programming libraries with fixed user interfaces, internal representations, and execution environments. Modifying the code of DL layers or data structure is very challenging without in-depth understanding of the underlying implementation. The optimization of the code and execution in these tools is often limited and relies on the specific DL computation graph manipulation and scheduling that lack systematic and universal strategies. Furthermore, …
