Abstract In this paper, we address a current problem in medical image processing, the detection of colorectal cancer from colonoscopy videos. According to worldwide cancer statistics, colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers. The process of screening and the removal of pre-cancerous cells from the large intestine is a crucial task to date. The traditional manual process is dependent on the expertise of the medical practitioner. In this paper, a two-stage classification is proposed to detect colorectal cancer. In the first stage, frames of colonoscopy video are extracted and are rated as significant if it contains a polyp, and… More >

Abstract In large-scale image retrieval, deep features extracted by Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) can effectively express more image information than those extracted by traditional manual methods. However, the deep feature dimensions obtained by Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) are too high and redundant, which leads to low retrieval efficiency. We propose a novel image retrieval method, which combines deep features selection with improved DCNN and hash transform based on high-dimension features reduction to gain lowdimension deep features and realizes efficient image retrieval. Firstly, the improved network is based on the existing deep model to build a more profound and broader network… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of information technology, the speed and efficiency of image retrieval are increasingly required in many fields, and a compelling image retrieval method is critical for the development of information. Feature extraction based on deep learning has become dominant in image retrieval due to their discrimination more complete, information more complementary and higher precision. However, the high-dimension deep features extracted by CNNs (convolutional neural networks) limits the retrieval efficiency and makes it difficult to satisfy the requirements of existing image retrieval. To solving this problem, the high-dimension feature reduction technology is proposed with improved CNN and PCA… More >

Abstract The diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is based on accurate detection of lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which also provides ongoing essential information about the progression and status of the disease. Manual detection of lesions is very time consuming and lacks accuracy. Most of the lesions are difficult to detect manually, especially within the grey matter. This paper proposes a novel and fully automated convolution neural network (CNN) approach to segment lesions. The proposed system consists of two 2D patchwise CNNs which can segment lesions more accurately and robustly. The first CNN network is implemented to segment lesions accurately,… More >

Abstract Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely used in many fields. Due to their high throughput and high level of computing characteristics, however, an increasing number of researchers are focusing on how to improve the computational efficiency, hardware utilization, or flexibility of CNN hardware accelerators. Accordingly, this paper proposes a dynamically reconfigurable accelerator architecture that implements a Sparse-Winograd F(2 2.3 3)-based high-parallelism hardware architecture. This approach not only eliminates the pre-calculation complexity associated with the Winograd algorithm, thereby reducing the difficulty of hardware implementation, but also greatly improves the flexibility of the hardware; as a result, the accelerator can realize the… More >

Abstract Different devices in the recent era generated a vast amount of digital video. Generally, it has been seen in recent years that people are forging the video to use it as proof of evidence in the court of justice. Many kinds of researches on forensic detection have been presented, and it provides less accuracy. This paper proposed a novel forgery detection technique in image frames of the videos using enhanced Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In the initial stage, the input video is taken as of the dataset and then converts the videos into image frames. Next, perform pre-sampling using the… More >

Abstract In the deep learning field, “Capsule” structure aims to overcome the shortcomings of traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) which are difficult to mine the relationship between sibling features. Capsule Net (CapsNet) is a new type of classification network structure with “Capsule” as network elements. It uses the “Squashing” algorithm as an activation function and Dynamic Routing as a network optimization method to achieve better classification performance. The main problem of the Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Brain MRI) recognition algorithm is that the difference between Alzheimer’s disease (AD) image, the Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) image, and the normal image is not… More >

Abstract Deep learning technology has been widely used in computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, and other related fields. The deep learning algorithm has high precision and high reliability. However, the lack of resources in the edge terminal equipment makes it difficult to run deep learning algorithms that require more memory and computing power. In this paper, we propose MoTransFrame, a general model processing framework for deep learning models. Instead of designing a model compression algorithm with a high compression ratio, MoTransFrame can transplant popular convolutional neural networks models to resources-starved edge devices promptly and accurately. By the integration method,… More >

Abstract Automatic road damage detection using image processing is an important aspect of road maintenance. It is also a challenging problem due to the inhomogeneity of road damage and complicated background in the road images. In recent years, deep convolutional neural network based methods have been used to address the challenges of road damage detection and classification. In this paper, we propose a new approach to address those challenges. This approach uses densely connected convolution networks as the backbone of the Mask R-CNN to effectively extract image feature, a feature pyramid network for combining multiple scales features, a region proposal network… More >

Abstract Smoking is the main reason for fire disaster and pollution in petrol station, construction site and warehouse. Existing solutions based on wearable devices and smoking sensors were costly and hard to obtain evidence of smoking in unmanned scenarios. With the developments of closed circuit television (CCTV) system, vision-based methods for object detection, mostly driven by deep learning techniques, were introduced recently. However, the massive GPU computing hardware required by the deep learning algorithm made these methods hard to be deployed. This paper aims at solving the smoking detection problem on edge and proposes the solution that has fast detection speed,… More >
