    Food quality measurement is one of the most essential topics in agriculture and industrial fields. To classify healthy food using computer visual inspection, a new architecture was proposed to classify beef images to specify the rancid and healthy ones. In traditional measurements, the specialists are not able to classify such images, due to the huge number of beef images required to build a deep learning model. In the present study, different images of beef including healthy and rancid cases were collected according to the analysis done by the Laboratory of Food Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Kafrelsheikh University in January of 2020. The texture analysis of the beef surface of the enrolled images makes it difficult to distinguish between the rancid and healthy images. Moreover, a deep learning approach based on ResNet-50 was presented as a promising classifier to grade and classify the beef images. In this work, a limited number of images were used to present the research problem of image resource limitation; eight healthy images and ten rancid beef images. This number of images is not sufficient to be retrained using deep learning approaches. Thus, Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) was proposed to augment the enrolled images to produce one hundred eighty images. The results obtained based on ResNet-50 classification achieve accuracy of 96.03%, 91.67%, and 88.89% in the training, testing, and validation phases, respectively. Furthermore, a comparison of the current model (ResNet-50) with the classical and deep learning architecture is made to demonstrate the efficiency of ResNet-50, in image classification

    Traditional linear discriminant analysis (LDA) approach discards the eigenvalues which are very small or equivalent to zero, but quite often eigenvectors corresponding to zero eigenvalues are the important dimensions for discriminant analysis. We propose an objective function which would utilize both the principal as well as nullspace eigenvalues and simultaneously inherit the class separability information onto its latent space representation. The idea is to build a convolutional neural network (CNN) and perform the regularized discriminant analysis on top of this and train it in an end-to-end fashion. The backpropagation is performed with a suitable optimizer to update the parameters so that the whole CNN approach minimizes the within class variance and maximizes the total class variance information suitable for both multi-class and binary class classification problems. Experimental results on four databases for multiple computer vision classification tasks show the efficacy of our proposed approach as compared to other popular methods

    Orientadores: Eduardo Alves do Valle Junior, Lin Tzy LiDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Elétrica e de ComputaçãoResumo: De todos os cânceres de pele, melanoma representa apenas 1% dos casos, mas 75% das mortes. O prognóstico do melanoma é bom quando detectado cedo, mas deteriora rápido ao longo que a doença progride. Ferramentas automatizadas podem prover triagem mais rápida, ajudando médicos a focar em pacientes ou lesões de risco. As características da doença --- raridade, letalidade, rápida progressão, e diagnóstico sutil --- fazem a triagem de melanoma automática particularmente desafiadora. O objetivo deste trabalho é melhor compreender como Deep Learning pode ser utilizado --- mais precisamente, Redes Neurais Convolucionais --- para classificar corretamente imagens de lesões de pele. Para isso, este trabalho está dividido em duas linhas de pesquisa. Primeiro, o estudo está focado na transferibilidade de características das redes CNN pré-treinadas. O objetivo principal desse tópico é estudar como as características transferidas se comportam em diferentes esquemas, com o objetivo de gerar melhores características para a camada de decisão. Em um segundo tópico, esse estudo incidirá na melhoria das métricas de classificação, que é o objetivo geral. Sobre a transferibilidade das características, foram realizados experimentos para analisar a forma como os diferentes esquemas de transferência afetariam a Área sob a Curva ROC (AUC): treinar uma CNN a partir do zero; transferir o conhecimento de uma CNN pré-treinada com imagens gerais ou específicas; realizar uma transferência dupla, que é uma sequência de treinamento onde em um primeiro momento a rede é treinada com imagens gerais, em um segundo momento com as imagens específicas, e, finalmente, em um terceiro momento com as imagens de melanoma. A partir desses experimentos, aprendemos que a transferência de aprendizagem é uma boa prática, assim como é o ajuste fino. Os resultados também sugerem que modelos mais profundos conduzem a melhores resultados. Hipotetizamos que a transferência de aprendizagem de uma tarefa relacionada sob ponto de vista médico (no caso, a partir de um dataset de imagens de retinopatia) levaria a melhores resultados, especialmente no esquema de transferência dupla, mas os resultados mostraram o oposto, sugerindo que a adaptação de tarefas muito específicas representa desafios específicos. Sobre a melhoria das métricas, discute-se o pipeline vencedor utilizado no International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) Challenge 2017, alcançando o estado da arte na classificação de melanoma com 87.4% AUC. A solução é baseada em stacking/meta learning dos modelos Inception v4 e Resnet101, realizando fine tuning enquanto executa a aumentação de dados nos conjuntos de treino e teste. Também comparamos diferentes técnicas de segmentação --- multiplicação elemento a elemento da imagem da lesão de pele e sua máscara de segmentação, e utilizar a máscara de segmentação como quarto canal --- com uma rede treinada sem segmentação. A rede sem segmentação é a que obteve melhor desemepnho (96.0% AUC) contra a máscara de segmentação como quarto canal (94.5% AUC). Nós também disponibilizamos uma implementação de referência reprodutível com todo o código desenvolvido para as contribuições desta dissertaçãoAbstract: From all skin cancers, melanoma represents just 1% of cases, but 75% of deaths. Melanoma¿s prognosis is good when detected early, but deteriorates fast as the disease progresses. Automated tools may play an essential role in providing timely screening, helping doctors focus on patients or lesions at risk. However, due to the disease¿s characteristics --- rarity, lethality, fast progression, and diagnosis subtlety --- automated screening for melanoma is particularly challenging. The objective of this work is to understand better how can we use Deep Learning --- more precisely, Convolutional Neural Networks --- to correctly classify images of skin lesions. This work is divided into two lines of investigation to achieve the objective. First, the study is focused on the transferability of features from pretrained CNN networks. The primary objective of that thread is to study how the transferred features behave in different schemas, aiming at generating better features to the classifier layer. Second, this study will also improve the classification metrics, which is the overall objective of this line of research. On the transferability of features, we performed experiments to analyze how different transfer schemas would impact the overall Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) training a CNN from scratch; transferring from pretrained CNN on general and specific image databases; performing a double transfer, in a sequence from general to specific and finally melanoma databases. From those experiments, we learned that transfer learning is a good practice, as is fine tuning. The results also suggest that deeper models lead to better results. We expected that transfer learning from a related task (in the case, from a retinopathy image database) would lead to better outcomes, but results showed the opposite, suggesting that adaptation from particular tasks poses specific challenges. On the improvement of metrics, we discussed the winner pipeline used in the International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) Challenge 2017, reaching state-of-the-art results on melanoma classification with 87.4% AUC. The solution is based on the stacking/meta-learning from Inception v4 and Resnet101 models, fine tuning them while performing data augmentation on the train and test sets. Also, we compare different segmentation techniques - elementwise multiplication of the skin lesion image and its mask, and input the segmentation mask as a fourth channel - with a network trained without segmentation. The network with no segmentation is the one who performs better (96.0% AUC) against segmentation mask as a fourth channel (94.5% AUC). We made available a reproducible reference implementation with all developed source code for the contributions of this thesisMestradoEngenharia de ComputaçãoMestre em Engenharia Elétrica133530/2016-7CNP

    El cáncer de piel es uno de los tipos de cáncer más frecuente en los seres humanos, abarca cerca de un tercio total de las neoplasias. Dentro del cáncer de piel encontramos al carcinoma basocelular (CBC) siendo este el tipo de cáncer más frecuente a nivel mundial. Una serie de estudios que involucran enfoques de aprendizaje profundo ya se han desempeñado en un número considerable como la clasificación de imágenes. Los modelos utilizados en dichas tareas emplean la función Softmax (modelo clásico) en la capa de clasificación. Sin embargo, se han realizado estudios que utilizan una alternativa a la función Softmax para la clasificación: la máquina de vectores de soporte (SVM). El uso de SVM en una arquitectura de red neuronal artificial produce resultados relativamente mejores que el uso de la función Softmax convencional. Por este motivo se construyó un sistema que diagnostica el carcinoma basocelular implementando un modelo híbrido de red neuronal convolucional y máquina de vectores de soporte para clasificar el CBC. Los resultados obtenidos fueron medidos con las métricas de precisión, recall, f1-score y exactitud obteniendo 94.51%, 88.42%, 91.36% y 91.54% respectivamente

    Cancer is the second leading cause of death across the world after cardiovascular disease. The survival rate of patients with cancerous tissue can significantly decrease due to late-stage diagnosis. Nowadays, advancements of whole slide imaging scanners have resulted in a dramatic increase of patient data in the domain of digital pathology. Large-scale histopathology images need to be analyzed promptly for early cancer detection which is critical for improving patient's survival rate and treatment planning. Advances of medical image processing and deep learning methods have facilitated the extraction and analysis of high-level features from histopathological data that could assist in life-critical diagnosis and reduce the considerable healthcare cost associated with cancer. In clinical trials, due to the complexity and large variance of collected image data, developing computer-aided diagnosis systems to support quantitative medical image analysis is an area of active research. The first goal of this research is to automate the classification and segmentation process of cancerous regions in histopathology images of different cancer tissues by developing models using deep learning-based architectures. In this research, a framework with different modules is proposed, including (1) data pre-processing, (2) data augmentation, (3) feature extraction, and (4) deep learning architectures. Four validation studies were designed to conduct this research. (1) differentiating benign and malignant lesions in breast cancer (2) differentiating between immature leukemic blasts and normal cells in leukemia cancer (3) differentiating benign and malignant regions in lung cancer, and (4) differentiating benign and malignant regions in colorectal cancer. Training machine learning models, disease diagnosis, and treatment often requires collecting patients' medical data. Privacy and trusted authenticity concerns make data owners reluctant to share their personal and medical data. Motivated by the advantages of Blockchain technology in healthcare data sharing frameworks, the focus of the second part of this research is to integrate Blockchain technology in computer-aided diagnosis systems to address the problems of managing access control, authentication, provenance, and confidentiality of sensitive medical data. To do so, a hierarchical identity and attribute-based access control mechanism using smart contract and Ethereum Blockchain is proposed to securely process healthcare data without revealing sensitive information to an unauthorized party leveraging the trustworthiness of transactions in a collaborative healthcare environment. The proposed access control mechanism provides a solution to the challenges associated with centralized access control systems and ensures data transparency and traceability for secure data sharing, and data ownership
