The utilization of prior knowledge about anomalies is an essential issue for anomaly detections. Recently, the visual attention mechanism has become a promising way to improve the performance of CNNs for some computer vision tasks. In this…
Lensless cameras are characterized by several advantages (e.g., miniaturization, ease of manufacture, and low cost) as compared with conventional cameras. However, they have not been extensively employed due to their poor image clarity and…
Intra-operative 2D-3D registration of X-ray images with pre-operatively acquired CT scans is a crucial procedure in orthopedic surgeries. Anatomical landmarks pre-annotated in the CT volume can be detected in X-ray images to establish 2D-3D…
Automatically selecting the best performing algorithm for a given dataset or ranking multiple algorithms by their expected performance supports users in developing new machine learning applications. Most approaches for this problem rely on…
We describe a system to automatically filter clinically significant findings from computerized tomography (CT) head scans, operating at performance levels exceeding that of practicing radiologists. Our system, named DeepRadiologyNet, builds…
Patient-specific 3D printing of congenital heart anatomy demands an accurate segmentation of the thin tissue interfaces which characterise these diagnoses. Even when a label set has a high spatial overlap with the ground truth, inaccurate…
We present a vehicle self-localization method using point-based deep neural networks. Our approach processes measurements and point features, i.e. landmarks, from a high-definition digital map to infer the vehicle's pose. To learn the best…
In CT angiography, the accurate segmentation of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is difficult due to large anatomical variability, low-contrast vessel boundaries, and the close proximity of organs whose intensities resemble vascular…
Nonlinear image registration continues to be a fundamentally important tool in medical image analysis. Diagnostic tasks, image-guided surgery and radiotherapy as well as motion analysis all rely heavily on accurate intra-patient alignment.…
In this paper, we propose to augment image-based place recognition with structural cues. Specifically, these structural cues are obtained using structure-from-motion, such that no additional sensors are needed for place recognition. This is…
Deep learning has now become the de facto approach to the recognition of anomalies in medical imaging. Their 'black box' way of classifying medical images into anomaly labels poses problems for their acceptance, particularly with…
According to multiple authoritative authorities, including the World Health Organization, vision-related impairments and disorders are becoming a significant issue. According to a recent report, one of the leading causes of irreversible…
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is widely used for diagnosing and monitoring retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The segmentation of biomarkers such as layers and lesions is essential for patient diagnosis…
The presence of occluders significantly impacts object recognition accuracy. However, occlusion is typically treated as an unstructured source of noise and explicit models for occluders have lagged behind those for object appearance and…
