Deep Learning in Cardiology
The medical field is creating large amount of data that physicians are unable
to decipher and use efficiently. Moreover, rule-based expert systems are
inefficient in solving complicated medical tasks or for creating insights using
big data. Deep learning has emerged as a more accurate and effective technology
in a wide range of medical problems such as diagnosis, prediction and
intervention. Deep learning is a representation learning method that consists
of layers that transform the data non-linearly, thus, revealing hierarchical
relationships and structures. In this review we survey deep learning
application papers that use structured data, signal and imaging modalities from
cardiology. We discuss the advantages and limitations of applying deep learning
in cardiology that also apply in medicine in general, while proposing certain
directions as the most viable for clinical use.Comment: 27 pages, 2 figures, 10 table
Deep Autoencoder for Combined Human Pose Estimation and body Model Upscaling
We present a method for simultaneously estimating 3D human pose and body
shape from a sparse set of wide-baseline camera views. We train a symmetric
convolutional autoencoder with a dual loss that enforces learning of a latent
representation that encodes skeletal joint positions, and at the same time
learns a deep representation of volumetric body shape. We harness the latter to
up-scale input volumetric data by a factor of , whilst recovering a
3D estimate of joint positions with equal or greater accuracy than the state of
the art. Inference runs in real-time (25 fps) and has the potential for passive
human behaviour monitoring where there is a requirement for high fidelity
estimation of human body shape and pose
A Survey on Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis
Deep learning algorithms, in particular convolutional networks, have rapidly
become a methodology of choice for analyzing medical images. This paper reviews
the major deep learning concepts pertinent to medical image analysis and
summarizes over 300 contributions to the field, most of which appeared in the
last year. We survey the use of deep learning for image classification, object
detection, segmentation, registration, and other tasks and provide concise
overviews of studies per application area. Open challenges and directions for
future research are discussed.Comment: Revised survey includes expanded discussion section and reworked
introductory section on common deep architectures. Added missed papers from
before Feb 1st 201
End-to-end Projector Photometric Compensation
Projector photometric compensation aims to modify a projector input image
such that it can compensate for disturbance from the appearance of projection
surface. In this paper, for the first time, we formulate the compensation
problem as an end-to-end learning problem and propose a convolutional neural
network, named CompenNet, to implicitly learn the complex compensation
function. CompenNet consists of a UNet-like backbone network and an autoencoder
subnet. Such architecture encourages rich multi-level interactions between the
camera-captured projection surface image and the input image, and thus captures
both photometric and environment information of the projection surface. In
addition, the visual details and interaction information are carried to deeper
layers along the multi-level skip convolution layers. The architecture is of
particular importance for the projector compensation task, for which only a
small training dataset is allowed in practice. Another contribution we make is
a novel evaluation benchmark, which is independent of system setup and thus
quantitatively verifiable. Such benchmark is not previously available, to our
best knowledge, due to the fact that conventional evaluation requests the
hardware system to actually project the final results. Our key idea, motivated
from our end-to-end problem formulation, is to use a reasonable surrogate to
avoid such projection process so as to be setup-independent. Our method is
evaluated carefully on the benchmark, and the results show that our end-to-end
learning solution outperforms state-of-the-arts both qualitatively and
quantitatively by a significant margin.Comment: To appear in the 2019 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern
