Mammography is used to aid early detection and diagnosis systems. It takes an x-ray image of the breast and can provide a second opinion for radiologists. The earlier detection is made, the better treatment works. Digital mammograms are dealt with by Computer Aided Diagnosis (CA…
Histopathology imaging is a type of microscopy imaging commonly used for the microlevel clinical examination of a patient's pathology. Due to the extremely large size of histopathology images, especially whole slide images (WSIs), it is difficult for pathologists to make a quant…
Health organizations and governments are investing considerable resources into Internet-based health promotion. There is a large and growing body of research on health “etools” but to date most has been conducted using experimental paradigms; much less is known about those that …
Skin cancer is the most frequent malignant neoplasm for Caucasian individuals. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, the incidence of melanoma, the most malignant of skin tumours, and resultant mortality, have increased exponentially during the past 30 years, and continues to…
Medical volume segmentation got the attraction of many researchers; therefore, many techniques have been implemented in terms of medical imaging including segmentations and other imaging processes. This research focuses on an implementation of segmentation system which uses seve…
This dissertation proposes techniques to triage document images based on the mode or type of each mark in the image so that specialized downstream processes can be selected based on the type of content in each image. The following contributions are presented: (1) A new robust re…
Remote sensing and security, terms which are not usually associated, have found a common platform this decade with the conjuring of the GMOSS network (Global Monitoring for Security and Stability ), whose mandate is to discover new applications for satellite-derived imagery to s…
Segmentation of tube-like biological structures, e.g., neurons and blood vessels, allows extraction of structural measurements supporting quantitative studies ranging from understanding neural growth to cancer research. While automated segmentation algorithms minimize subjectivi…
