The advances in technology have enabled people to access internet from every part of the world. But to date, access to healthcare in remote areas is sparse. This proposed solution aims to bridge the gap between specialist doctors and patients. This prototype will be able to detect skin cancer from an image captured by the phone or any other camera. The network is deployed on cloud server-side processing for an even more accurate result. The Deep Residual learning model has been used for predicting the probability of cancer for server side The ResNet has three parametric layers. Each layer has Convolutional Neural Network, Batch Normalization, Maxpool and ReLU. Currently the model achieves an accuracy of 77% on the ISIC - 2017 challenge.

Accurate lane localization and lane change detection are crucial in advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving systems for safer and more efficient trajectory planning. Conventional localization devices such as Global Positioning System only provide road-level resolution for car navigation, which is incompetent to assist in lane-level decision making. The state of art technique for lane localization is to use Light Detection and Ranging sensors to correct the global localization error and achieve centimeter-level accuracy, but the real-time implementation and popularization for LiDAR is still limited by its computational burden and current cost. As a cost-effective alternative, vision-based lane change detection has been highly regarded for affordable autonomous vehicles to support lane-level localization. A deep learning-based computer vision system is developed to detect the lane change behavior using the images captured by a front-view camera mounted on the vehicle and data from the inertial measurement unit for highway driving. Testing results on real-world driving data have shown that the proposed method is robust with real-time working ability and could achieve around 87% lane change detection accuracy. Compared to the average human reaction to visual stimuli, the proposed computer vision system works 9 times faster, which makes it capable of helping make life-saving decisions in time.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death in North America. As an integrated part of computer-aided detection (CAD) tools, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) has been intensively studied for accurate detection of prostate cancer. With deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) significant success in computer vision tasks such as object detection and segmentation, different CNNs architectures are increasingly investigated in medical imaging research community as promising solutions for designing more accurate CAD tools for cancer detection. In this work, we developed and implemented an automated CNNs-based pipeline for detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa) for a given axial DWI image and for each patient. DWI images of 427 patients were used as the dataset, which contained 175 patients with PCa and 252 healthy patients. To measure the performance of the proposed pipeline, a test set of 108 (out of 427) patients were set aside and not used in the training phase. The proposed pipeline achieved area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.87 (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.84-0.90) and 0.84 (95% CI: 0.76-0.91) at slice level and patient level, respectively.
Detecting and masking cloud and cloud shadow from satellite remote sensing images is a pervasive problem in the remote sensing community. Accurate and efficient detection of cloud and cloud shadow is an essential step to harness the value of remotely sensed data for almost all downstream analysis. DeepMask, a new algorithm for cloud and cloud shadow detection in optical satellite remote sensing imagery, is proposed in this study. DeepMask utilizes ResNet, a deep convolutional neural network, for pixel-level cloud mask generation. The algorithm is trained and evaluated on the Landsat 8 Cloud Cover Assessment Validation Dataset distributed across 8 different land types. Compared with CFMask, the most widely used cloud detection algorithm, land-type-specific DeepMask models achieve higher accuracy across all land types. The average accuracy is 93.56%, compared with 85.36% from CFMask. DeepMask also achieves 91.02% accuracy on all-land-type dataset. Compared with other CNN-based cloud mask algorithms, DeepMask benefits from the parsimonious architecture and the residual connection of ResNet. It is compatible with input of any size and shape. DeepMask still maintains high performance when using only red, green, blue, and NIR bands, indicating its potential to be applied to other satellite platforms that only have limited optical bands.
In this paper, a deep neural network based ensemble method is experimented for automatic identification of skin disease from dermoscopic images. The developed algorithm is applied on the task3 of the ISIC 2018 challenge dataset (Skin Lesion Analysis Towards Melanoma Detection).
Face recognition is an important yet challenging problem in computer vision. A major challenge in practical face recognition applications lies in significant variations between profile and frontal faces. Traditional techniques address this challenge either by synthesizing frontal faces or by pose invariant learning. In this paper, we propose a novel method with Lie algebra theory to explore how face rotation in the 3D space affects the deep feature generation process of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We prove that face rotation in the image space is equivalent to an additive residual component in the feature space of CNNs, which is determined solely by the rotation. Based on this theoretical finding, we further design a Lie Algebraic Residual Network (LARNet) for tackling pose robust face recognition. Our LARNet consists of a residual subnet for decoding rotation information from input face images, and a gating subnet to learn rotation magnitude for controlling the strength of the residual component contributing to the feature learning process. Comprehensive experimental evaluations on both frontal-profile face datasets and general face recognition datasets convincingly demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms the state-of-the-art ones.
