We present solar event auto detection using deep-learning-based object detection algorithms and DeepSDO event dataset. DeepSDO event dataset is a new detection dataset with bounding boxed as ground-truth for three solar event (coronal holes, sunspots and prominences) features using Solar Dynamics Observatory data. To access the reliability of DeepSDO event dataset, we compared to HEK data. We train two representative object detection models, the Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) and the Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN) with DeepSDO event dataset. We compared the performance of the two models for three solar events and this study demonstrates that deep learning-based object detection can successfully detect multiple types of solar events. In addition, we provide DeepSDO event dataset for further achievements event detection in solar physics.

다시기 고해상도 영상에 존재하는 건물의 위치 및 형태학적 왜곡은 건물의 변화탐지를 어렵게 만드는 요인 중 하나이다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 부가적인 3차원 지형정보 및 딥러닝을 활용한 연구가 수행되고 있지만, 실제 사례에 적용되기 어려운 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 건물의 효율적인 변화탐지를 수행하기 위하여, 건물의 위치 정보뿐만 아니라 건물 간 위상정보를 활용하는 방안을 제시한다. 다양한 비연직 영상에서의 건물을 학습하기 위하여 SpaceNet v2 데이터셋을 사용하여 Mask R-CNN (Region-based Convolutional Neural Network)을 학습하였으며, 건물 객체를 탐지하여 중심점을 노드로 추출하였다. 추출한 건물 노드를 중심으로 서로 다른 두 시기에 대해 각각 TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) 그래프들을 형성하고, 두 그래프 간 구조적 차이가 발생한 영역에 기반하여 변화 건물을 추출하기 위해 그래프 유사도와 노드의 위치 차이를 반영한 변화 지수를 제안하였다. 최종적으로 변화 지숫값을 기반으로 두 그래프 간 비교를 통해 새롭게 생성되거나 삭제된 건물을 탐지하였다. 총 3쌍의 테스트 영역에 대해 제안한 기법을 적용한 결과, 건물들 간 연결성의 변화를 고려함으로써 기복 변위에 의해 서로 다른 시기간 동일 건물 쌍을 판단하기 어려운 경우에도 변화가 발생한 건물을 적절하게 탐지하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Support vector machine (SVM) classifiers have been widely used for object detection. These methods usually locate the object by finding the region with maximal score in an image. With bag-of-features representation, the SVM score of an image region can be written as the sum of its inside feature-weights. As a result, the searching process can be executed efficiently by using strategies such as branch-and-bound. However, the feature-weight derived by optimizing region classification cannot really reveal the category knowledge of a feature-point, which could cause bad localization. In this paper, we represent a region in an image by a collection of local feature-points and determine the object by the region with the maximum posterior probability of belonging to the object class. Based on the Bayes' theorem and Naive-Bayes assumptions, the posterior probability is reformulated as the sum of feature-scores. The feature-score is manifested in the form of the logarithm of a probability ratio. Instead of estimating the numerator and denominator probabilities separately, we readily employ the density ratio estimation techniques directly, and overcome the above limitation. Experiments on a car dataset and PASCAL VOC 2007 dataset validated the effectiveness of our method compared to the baselines. In addition, the performance can be further improved by taking advantage of the recently developed deep convolutional neural network features.

Early detection continues to be the mainstay of breast cancer control as well as the improvement of its treatment. Even so, the absence of cancer symptoms at the onset has early detection quite challenging. Therefore, various researchers continue to focus on cancer as a topic of health to try and make improvements from the perspectives of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. This research's chief goal is development of a system with deep learning for classification of the breast cancer as non-malignant and malignant using mammogram images. The following two distinct approaches: the first one with the utilization of patches of the Region of Interest (ROI), and the second one with the utilization of the overall images is used. The proposed system is composed of the following two distinct stages: the pre-processing stage and the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) building stage. Of late, the use of meta-heuristic optimization algorithms has accomplished a lot of progress in resolving these problems. Teaching-Learning Based Optimization algorithm (TIBO) meta-heuristic was originally employed for resolving problems of continuous optimization. This work has offered the proposals of novel methods for training the Residual Network (ResNet) as well as the CNN based on the TLBO and the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The classification of breast cancer can be enhanced with direct application of the hybrid TLBO- GA. For this hybrid algorithm, the TLBO, i.e., a core component, will combine the following three distinct operators of the GA: coding, crossover, and mutation. In the TLBO, there is a representation of the optimization solutions as students. On the other hand, the hybrid TLBO-GA will have further division of the students as follows: the top students, the ordinary students, and the poor students. The experiments demonstrated that the proposed hybrid TLBO-GA is more effective than TLBO and GA.

Purpose: Periodontal disease causes tooth loss and is associated with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. The present study proposes using a deep learning-based object detection method to identify periodontally compromised teeth on digital panoramic radiographs. A faster regional convolutional neural network (faster R-CNN) which is a state-of-the-art deep detection network, was adapted from the natural image domain using a small annotated clinical data- set. Materials and Methods: In total, 100 digital panoramic radiographs of periodontally compromised patients were retrospectively collected from our hospital's information system and augmented. The periodontally compromised teeth found in each image were annotated by experts in periodontology to obtain the ground truth. The Keras library, which is written in Python, was used to train and test the model on a single NVidia 1080Ti GPU. The faster R-CNN model used a pretrained ResNet architecture. Results: The average precision rate of 0.81 demonstrated that there was a significant region of overlap between the predicted regions and the ground truth. The average recall rate of 0.80 showed that the periodontally compromised teeth regions generated by the detection method excluded healthiest teeth areas. In addition, the model achieved a sensitivity of 0.84, a specificity of 0.88 and an F-measure of 0.81. Conclusion: The faster R-CNN trained on a limited amount of labeled imaging data performed satisfactorily in detecting periodontally compromised teeth. The application of a faster R-CNN to assist in the detection of periodontally compromised teeth may reduce diagnostic effort by saving assessment time and allowing automated screening documentation.

We apply a modified Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model in conjunction with transfer learning to predict whether an active region (AR) would produce a ≥C-class or ≥M-class flare within the next 24 hours. We collect line-of-sight magnetogram samples of ARs provided by the SHARP from May 2010 to September 2018, which is a new data product from the HMI onboard the SDO. Based on these AR samples, we adopt the approach of shuffle-and-split cross-validation (CV) to build a database that includes 10 separate data sets. Each of the 10 data sets is segregated by NOAA AR number into a training and a testing data set. After training, validating, and testing our model, we compare the results with previous studies using predictive performance metrics, with a focus on the true skill statistic (TSS). The main results from this study are summarized as follows. First, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the CNN model with transfer learning is used in solar physics to make binary class predictions for both ≥C-class and ≥M-class flares, without manually engineered features extracted from the observational data. Second, our model achieves relatively high scores of TSS = 0.640±0.075 and TSS = 0.526±0.052 for ≥M-class prediction and ≥C-class prediction, respectively, which is comparable to that of previous models. Third, our model also obtains quite good scores in five other metrics for both ≥C-class and ≥M-class flare prediction. Our results demonstrate that our modified CNN model with transfer learning is an effective method for flare forecasting with reasonable prediction performance.

본 연구에서는 화강암 시편에서 수압 파쇄법에 의해 생성된 미세균열의 3차원 형상을 X-ray CT 영상과 딥러닝을 이용하여 추출하였다. 실험으로 생성된 미세균열은 X-ray CT 영상 상에서 일반적인 영상처리방법으로는 추출하기 매우 어렵고 육안으로만 관찰이 가능한 형태를 지닌다. 하지만 본 연구에서 제안한 합성곱 신경망(Convolutional neural network) 기반 인코더-디코더(Encoder-Decoder) 구조의 딥러닝 모델을 통해 미세균열을 정량적으로 추출할 수 있었다. 특히 픽셀 단위의 미세균열 추출을 위해 인코딩 과정에서 소실되는 정보를 디코딩 과정으로 직접 전달하는 디코더 모델을 제안하였다. 또한, 딥러닝 기반 신경망 학습에 필요한 데이터의 수를 증가시키기 위해 이미지의 분할(Division), 회전(Rotation), 그리고 반전(Flipping) 등으로 데이터를 생성하는 영상 증대 방법을 적용하였으며 이때 최적의 조합을 확인하였다. 최적의 영상 학습 데이터 증대 방법을 적용하였을 때 검증 데이터뿐만 아니라 테스트 데이터에서의 성능 향상을 확인하였다. 학습 데이터의 원본 개수가 딥러닝 기반 신경망의 균열 추출 성능에 미치는 영향을 확인하고 딥러닝 기술을 사용하여 성공적으로 미세균열을 추출하였다.

In this paper, we report detection and recognition of vehicle logo from images captured from street CCTV. Image data includes both the front and rear view of the vehicles. The proposed method is a two-step process which combines image preprocessing and faster region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) for logo recognition. Without preprocessing, faster R-CNN accuracy is high only if the image quality is good. The proposed system is focusing on street CCTV camera where image quality is different from a front facing camera. Using perspective transformation the top view images are transformed into front view images. In this system, the detection and accuracy are much higher as compared to the existing algorithm. As a result of the experiment, on day data the detection and recognition rate is improved by 2% and night data, detection rate improved by 14%.

The chest X-rays are a common way to diagnose lung cancer or pneumonia. In particular, the finding of a lung nodule is the most important problem in the early detection of lung cancer. Recently, a lot of automatic diagnosis algorithms have been studied to find the lung nodules missed by doctors. The algorithms are typically based on segmentation network like U-Net. However, the occurrence of false positives that similar to lung nodules present outside the lungs can severely degrade performance. In this study, we propose a multi-task learning method that simultaneously learns the lung region and nodule-labeled data based on the prior knowledge that lung nodules exist only in the lung. The proposed method significantly reduces false positives outside the lung and improves the recognition rate of lung nodules to 83.8 F1 score compared to 66.6 F1 score of single task learning with U-net model. The experimental results on the JSRT public dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method compared with other baseline methods.

본 논문에서는 차량이 움직일 때 발생하는 카메라의 움직임, 도로상의 광원에 강건한 지능형 전조등 제어 시스템을 제안한다. 후보광원을 검출할 때 카메라의 원근 범위 추정 모델을 기반으로 한 ROI (Region of Interest)를 사용하며 이는 FROI (Front ROI)와 BROI (Back ROI)로 나뉘어 사용된다. ROI내에서 차량의 전조등과 후미등, 반사광 및 주변 도로의 조명들은 2개의 적응적 임계값에 의해 세그먼트화 된다. 세그먼트화 된 광원 후보군들로부터 후미등은 적색도(redness)와 Haar-like특징에 기반한 랜덤포레스트 분류기에 의해 검출된다. 전조등과 후미등 분류 과정에서 빠른 학습과 실시간 처리를 위해 SVM(Support Vector Machine) 또는 CNN(Convolutional Neural Network)을 사용하지 않고 랜덤포레스트 분류기를 사용했다. 마지막으로 페어링(Pairing) 단계에서는 수직좌표 유사성, 광원들간의 연관성 검사와 같은 사전 정의된 규칙을 적용한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 다양한 야간 운전환경을 포함하는 데이터에 적용한 결과, 최근의 관련연구 보다 향상된 검출 성능을 보여주었다.
