Across the globe, remote image data is rapidly being collected for the assessment of benthic communities from shallow to extremely deep waters on continental slopes to the abyssal seas. Exploiting this data is presently limited by the time it takes for experts to identify organisms found in these images. With this limitation in mind, a large effort has been made globally to introduce automation and machine learning algorithms to accelerate both classification and assessment of marine benthic biota. One major issue lies with organisms that move with swell and currents, like kelps. This paper presents an automatic hierarchical classification method (local binary classification as opposed to the conventional flat classification) to classify kelps in images collected by autonomous underwater vehicles. The proposed kelp classification approach exploits learned feature representations extracted from deep residual networks. We show that these generic features outperform the traditional off-the-shelf CNN features and the conventional hand-crafted features. Experiments also demonstrate that the hierarchical classification method outperforms the traditional parallel multi-class classifications by a significant margin (90.0% vs 57.6% and 77.2% vs 59.0%) on Benthoz15 and Rottnest datasets respectively. Furthermore, we compare different hierarchical classification approaches and experimentally show that the sibling hierarchical training approach outperforms the inclusive hierarchical approach by a significant margin. We also report an application of our proposed method to study the change in kelp cover over time for annually repeated AUV surveys.

Automatic modulation classification (AMC) is of crucial importance for realizing wireless intelligence communications. Many deep learning based models especially convolution neural networks (CNNs) have been proposed for AMC. However, the computation cost is very high, which makes them inappropriate for beyond the fifth generation wireless communication networks that have stringent requirements on the classification accuracy and computing time. In order to tackle those challenges, a novel involution enabled AMC scheme is proposed by using the bottleneck structure of the residual networks. Involution is utilized instead of convolution to enhance the discrimination capability and expressiveness of the model by incorporating a self-attention mechanism. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed scheme achieves superior classification performance and faster convergence speed comparing with other benchmark schemes.
Cervical cancer is one of the most deadly and common diseases among women worldwide. It is completely curable if diagnosed in an early stage, but the tedious and costly detection procedure makes it unviable to conduct population-wise screening. Thus, to augment the effort of the clinicians, in this paper, we propose a fully automated framework that utilizes Deep Learning and feature selection using evolutionary optimization for cytology image classification. The proposed framework extracts Deep feature from several Convolution Neural Network models and uses a two-step feature reduction approach to ensure reduction in computation cost and faster convergence. The features extracted from the CNN models form a large feature space whose dimensionality is reduced using Principal Component Analysis while preserving 99% of the variance. A non-redundant, optimal feature subset is selected from this feature space using an evolutionary optimization algorithm, the Grey Wolf Optimizer, thus improving the classification performance. Finally, the selected feature subset is used to train an SVM classifier for generating the final predictions. The proposed framework is evaluated on three publicly available benchmark datasets: Mendeley Liquid Based Cytology (4-class) dataset, Herlev Pap Smear (7-class) dataset, and the SIPaKMeD Pap Smear (5-class) dataset achieving classification accuracies of 99.47%, 98.32% and 97.87% respectively, thus justifying the reliability of the approach.

Sharing images online poses security threats to a wide range of users due to the unawareness of privacy information. Deep features have been demonstrated to be a powerful representation for images. However, deep features usually suffer from the issues of a large size and requiring a huge amount of data for fine-tuning. In contrast to normal images (e.g., scene images), privacy images are often limited because of sensitive information. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that can work on limited data and generate deep features of smaller size. For training images, we first extract the initial deep features from the pre-trained model and then employ the K-means clustering algorithm to learn the centroids of these initial deep features. We use the learned centroids from training features to extract the final features for each testing image and encode our final features with the triangle encoding. To improve the discriminability of the features, we further perform the fusion of two proposed unsupervised deep features obtained from different layers. Experimental results show that the proposed features outperform state-of-the-art deep features, in terms of both classification accuracy and testing time.
Weakly supervised disease classification of CT imaging suffers from poor localization owing to case-level annotations, where even a positive scan can hold hundreds to thousands of negative slices along multiple planes. Furthermore, although deep learning segmentation and classification models extract distinctly unique combinations of anatomical features from the same target class(es), they are typically seen as two independent processes in a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) pipeline, with little to no feature reuse. In this research, we propose a medical classifier that leverages the semantic structural concepts learned via multi-resolution segmentation feature maps, to guide weakly supervised 3D classification of chest CT volumes. Additionally, a comparative analysis is drawn across two different types of feature aggregation to explore the vast possibilities surrounding feature fusion. Using a dataset of 1593 scans labeled on a case-level basis via rule-based model, we train a dual-stage convolutional neural network (CNN) to perform organ segmentation and binary classification of four representative diseases (emphysema, pneumonia/atelectasis, mass and nodules) in lungs. The baseline model, with separate stages for segmentation and classification, results in AUC of 0.791. Using identical hyperparameters, the connected architecture using static and dynamic feature aggregation improves performance to AUC of 0.832 and 0.851, respectively. This study advances the field in two key ways. First, case-level report data is used to weakly supervise a 3D CT classifier of multiple, simultaneous diseases for an organ. Second, segmentation and classification models are connected with two different feature aggregation strategies to enhance the classification performance.
Detecting UAVs is becoming more crucial for various industries such as airports and nuclear power plants for improving surveillance and security measures. Exploiting radio frequency (RF) based drone control and communication enables a passive way of drone detection for a wide range of environments and even without favourable line of sight (LOS) conditions. In this paper, we evaluate RF based drone classification performance of various state-of-the-art (SoA) models on a new realistic drone RF dataset. With the help of a newly proposed residual Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, we show that the drone RF frequency signatures can be used for effective classification. The robustness of the classifier is evaluated in a multipath environment considering varying Doppler frequencies that may be introduced from a flying drone. We also show that the model achieves better generalization capabilities under different wireless channel and drone speed scenarios. Furthermore, the newly proposed models classification performance is evaluated on a simultaneous multi-drone scenario. The classifier achieves close to 99 % classification accuracy for signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) 0 dB and at -10 dB SNR it obtains 5 % better classification accuracy compared to the existing framework.
