Statistical Analysis of Chromosome Characteristics

In: Pattern Recognition. - : Elsevier BV. - 0031-3203 .- 1873-5142. ; 6:2, s. 115-126

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The advent of new stains for chromosomes has increased the possibility of implementing useful automated chromosome analysis. The case with which chromosomes can now be recognized makes it possible to perform detailed statistical analysis of the chromosomes of an individual. This paper describes methods for assembling chromosome information from several cells in such a way that accidental variations due to preparation, etc. can be eliminated and an undistorted set of characteristics of the chromosome complement can be established. This set of characteristics can then be compared with various references, and statements can be made concerning the relationships between variations in the chromosome complement and genetic traits. These same methods can be employed in multiple-cell karyotyping to circumvent the classical problem of touching and overlapping chromosomes. The methods also allow one to achieve very reliable descriptions of the chromosome complement. The importance of appropriate descriptors of the chromosomes is illustrated.

Multispectral image classification using wavelets : a simulation study
- 2003
-
In: Pattern Recognition. - : Elsevier. - 0031-3203 .- 1873-5142. ; 36:4, s. 889-898
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This work presents methods for multispectral image classification using the discrete wavelet transform. Performance of some conventional classification methods is evaluated, through a Monte Carlo study, with or without using the wavelet transform. Spatial autocorrelation is present in the computer-generated data on different scenes, and the misclassification rates are compared. The results indicate that the wavelet-based method performs best among the methods under study.

A feature selection technique for generation of classification committees and its application to categorization of laryngeal images
- 2009
-
In: Pattern Recognition. - New York : Pergamon Press. - 0031-3203 .- 1873-5142. ; 42:5, s. 645-654

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper is concerned with a two phase procedure to select salient features (variables) for classification committees. Both filter and wrapper approaches to feature selection are combined in this work. In the first phase, definitely redundant features are eliminated based on the paired t-test. The test compares the saliency of the candidate and the noise features. In the second phase, the genetic search is employed. The search integrates the steps of training, aggregation of committee members, selection of hyper-parameters, and selection of salient features into the same learning process. A small number of genetic iterations needed to find a solution is the characteristic feature of the genetic search procedure developed. The experimental tests performed on five real-world problems have shown that significant improvements in Classification accuracy can be obtained in a small number of iterations if compared to the case of using all the features available.

The regular polygon detector

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper describes a robust regular polygon detector. Given image edges, we derive the a posteriori probability for a mixture of regular polygons, and thus the probability density function for the appearance of a set of regular polygons. Likely regular polygons can be isolated quickly by discretising and collapsing the search space into three dimensions. We derive a complete formulation for efficiently recovering the remaining dimensions using maximum likelihood at the locations of the most likely polygons. Results show robustness to noise, the ability to find and differentiate different shape types, and to perform real-time sign detection for driver assistance.

Synchronisation of partial multi-matchings via non-negative factorisations
- 2019
-
In: Pattern Recognition. - Amsterdam : Elsevier. - 0031-3203 .- 1873-5142. ; 92, s. 146-155
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this work we study permutation synchronisation for the challenging case of partial permutations, which plays an important role for the problem of matching multiple objects (e.g. images or shapes). The term synchronisation refers to the property that the set of pairwise matchings is cycle-consistent, i.e. in the full matching case all compositions of pairwise matchings over cycles must be equal to the identity. Motivated by clustering and matrix factorisation perspectives of cycle-consistency, we derive an algo- rithm to tackle the permutation synchronisation problem based on non-negative factorisations. In order to deal with the inherent non-convexity of the permutation synchronisation problem, we use an initialisation procedure based on a novel rotation scheme applied to the solution of the spectral relaxation. Moreover, this rotation scheme facilitates a convenient Euclidean projection to obtain a binary solution after solving our relaxed problem. In contrast to state-of-the-art methods, our approach is guaranteed to produce cycle-consistent results. We experimentally demonstrate the efficacy of our method and show that it achieves better results compared to existing methods. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd

Clustered sampling improves random subspace brain mapping

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Intuitive and efficient, the random subspace ensemble approach provides an appealing solution to the problem of the vast dimensionality of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data for maximal-accuracy brain state decoding. Recently, efforts to generate biologically plausible and interpretable maps of brain regions which contribute information to the ensemble decoding task have been made and two approaches have been introduced: globally multivariate random subsampling and locally multivariate Monte Carlo mapping. Both types of maps reflect voxel-wise decoding accuracies averaged across repeatedly randomly sampled voxel subsets, highlighting voxels which consistently participate in high-classification subsets. We compare the mapping sensitivities of the approaches on realistic simulated data containing both locally and globally multivariate information and demonstrate that utilizing the inherent volumetric nature of fMRI through clustered Monte Carlo mapping yields dramatically improved performances in terms of voxel detection sensitivity and efficiency. These results suggest that, unless a priori information specifically dictates a global search, variants of clustered sampling should be the priority for random subspace brain mapping.

Self-tuning density estimation based on Bayesian averaging of adaptive kernel density estimations yields state-of-the-art performance
- 2018

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Non-parametric probability density function (pdf) estimation is a general problem encountered in many fields. A promising alternative to the dominating solutions, kernel density estimation (KDE) and Gaussian mixture modeling, is adaptive KDE where kernels are given individual bandwidths adjusted to the local data density. Traditionally the bandwidths are selected by a non-linear transformation of a pilot pdf estimate, containing parameters controlling the scaling, but identifying parameters values yielding competitive performance has turned out to be non-trivial. We present a new self-tuning (parameter free) pdf estimation method called adaptive density estimation by Bayesian averaging (ADEBA) that approximates pdf estimates in the form of weighted model averages across all possible parameter values, weighted by their Bayesian posterior calculated from the data. ADEBA is shown to be simple, robust, competitive in comparison to the current practice, and easily generalize to multivariate distributions. An implementation of the method for R is publicly available.

Lip segmentation based on Lambertian shadings and morphological operators for hyper-spectral images
- 2017
-

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Lip segmentation is a non-trivial task because the colour difference between the lip and the skin regions maybe not so noticeable sometimes. We propose an automatic lip segmentation technique for hyper-spectral images from an imaging prototype with medical applications. Contrarily to many other existing lip segmentation methods, we do not use colour space transformations to localise the lip area. As input image, we use for the first time a parametric blood concentration map computed by using narrow spectral bands. Our method mainly consists of three phases: (i) for each subject generate a subset of face images enhanced by different simulated Lambertian illuminations, then (ii) perform lip segmentation on each enhanced image by using constrained morphological operations, and finally (iii) extract features from Fourier-based modeled lip boundaries for selecting the lip candidate. Experiments for testing our approach are performed under controlled conditions on volunteers and on a public hyper-spectral dataset. Results show the effectiveness of the algorithm against low spectral range, moustache, and noise.
