Wavelet Integrated CNNs for Noise-Robust Image Classification
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are generally prone to noise
interruptions, i.e., small image noise can cause drastic changes in the output.
To suppress the noise effect to the final predication, we enhance CNNs by
replacing max-pooling, strided-convolution, and average-pooling with Discrete
Wavelet Transform (DWT). We present general DWT and Inverse DWT (IDWT) layers
applicable to various wavelets like Haar, Daubechies, and Cohen, etc., and
design wavelet integrated CNNs (WaveCNets) using these layers for image
classification. In WaveCNets, feature maps are decomposed into the
low-frequency and high-frequency components during the down-sampling. The
low-frequency component stores main information including the basic object
structures, which is transmitted into the subsequent layers to extract robust
high-level features. The high-frequency components, containing most of the data
noise, are dropped during inference to improve the noise-robustness of the
WaveCNets. Our experimental results on ImageNet and ImageNet-C (the noisy
version of ImageNet) show that WaveCNets, the wavelet integrated versions of
VGG, ResNets, and DenseNet, achieve higher accuracy and better noise-robustness
than their vanilla versions.Comment: CVPR accepted pape
Application of Fractal and Wavelets in Microcalcification Detection
Breast cancer has been recognized as one or the most frequent, malignant tumors in women, clustered microcalcifications in mammogram images has been widely recognized as an early sign of breast cancer. This work is devote to review the application of Fractal and Wavelets in microcalcifications detection
Deep Structured Features for Semantic Segmentation
We propose a highly structured neural network architecture for semantic
segmentation with an extremely small model size, suitable for low-power
embedded and mobile platforms. Specifically, our architecture combines i) a
Haar wavelet-based tree-like convolutional neural network (CNN), ii) a random
layer realizing a radial basis function kernel approximation, and iii) a linear
classifier. While stages i) and ii) are completely pre-specified, only the
linear classifier is learned from data. We apply the proposed architecture to
outdoor scene and aerial image semantic segmentation and show that the accuracy
of our architecture is competitive with conventional pixel classification CNNs.
Furthermore, we demonstrate that the proposed architecture is data efficient in
the sense of matching the accuracy of pixel classification CNNs when trained on
a much smaller data set.Comment: EUSIPCO 2017, 5 pages, 2 figure
