Periodic, wave-like modifications of 2D shape contours are often applied to convey quantitative data via images. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no in-depth investigation of the perceptual uniformity and legibility of these kind...
Development of computer vision algorithms using convolutional neural networks and deep learning has necessitated ever greater amounts of annotated and labelled data to produce high performance models. Large, public data sets have been instrumental in...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an umbrella term used to define a collection of inflammatory lung diseases that cause airflow obstruction and severe damage to the lung parenchyma. This study investigated the robustness of image-regist...
Player pose estimation is particularly important for sports because it provides more accurate monitoring of athlete movements and performance, recognition of player actions, analysis of techniques, and evaluation of action execution accuracy. All of...
In recent years, the study of soft biometrics has gained increasing interest in the security and business sectors. These characteristics provide limited biometric information about the individual; hence, it is possible to increase performance by comb...
Object detection is recognized as one of the most critical research areas for the perception of self-driving cars. Current vision systems combine visible imaging, LIDAR, and/or RADAR technology, allowing perception of the vehicle’s surroundings...
Ultrasound education traditionally involves theoretical and practical training on patients or on simulators; however, difficulty accessing training equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for home-based training systems. Due t...
This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of a virtual reality (VR) system line measurement tool using phantom data across three cardiac imaging modalities: three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE), computed tomography (CT) and magnet...
Radiomics analysis is a powerful tool aiming to provide diagnostic and prognostic patient information directly from images that are decoded into handcrafted features, comprising descriptors of shape, size and textural patterns. Although radiomics is...
Correct positioning of the endoscope is crucial for successful hip arthroscopy. Only with adequate alignment can the anatomical target area be visualized and the procedure be successfully performed. Conventionally, surgeons rely on anatomical landmar...
Brain tumors are abnormal cell growth in the brain tissues that can be cancerous or not. In any case, they could be a very aggressive disease that should be detected as early as possible. Usually, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the main tool com...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia, and its prevalence is growing with time. Since the introduction of catheter ablation procedures for the treatment of AF, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has had an increasingly important...
Parkinson’s disease is characterized by motor dysfunction caused by functional deterioration of the substantia nigra. Lower putamen volume (i.e., putamen atrophy) may be an important clinical indicator of motor dysfunction and neurological symp...
Lung cancer accounts for more deaths worldwide than any other cancer disease. In order to provide patients with the most effective treatment for these aggressive tumours, multimodal learning is emerging as a new and promising field of research that a...
Background: Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) uptake is known to increase in infective and inflammatory conditions. Systemic inflammation plays a role in oncologic prognosis. Conseque...
(1) Background: The mortality of breast cancer has decreased due to the advancement of cancer therapies. However, more patients are suffering from cancer-therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). Diagnostic and treatment guidelines for CTRCD...
In recent years, multispectral imaging systems are considerably expanding with a variety of multispectral demosaicking algorithms. The most crucial task is setting up an optimal multispectral demosaicking algorithm in order to reconstruct the image w...
Captioning is the process of assembling a description for an image. Previous research on captioning has usually focused on foreground objects. In captioning concepts, there are two main objects for discussion: background object and foreground object....
Vehicle make and model classification is crucial to the operation of an intelligent transportation system (ITS). Fine-grained vehicle information such as make and model can help officers uncover cases of traffic violations when license plate informat...
