Intestinal parasites are responsible for several diseases in human beings. In order to eliminate the error-prone visual analysis of optical microscopy slides, we have investigated automated, fast, and low-cost systems for the diagnosis of human intestinal parasites. In this work, we present a hybrid approach that combines the opinion of two decision-making systems with complementary properties: ($DS_1$) a simpler system based on very fast handcrafted image feature extraction and support vector machine classification and ($DS_2$) a more complex system based on a deep neural network, Vgg-16, for image feature extraction and classification. $DS_1$ is much faster than $DS_2$, but it is less accurate than $DS_2$. Fortunately, the errors of $DS_1$ are not the same of $DS_2$. During training, we use a validation set to learn the probabilities of misclassification by $DS_1$ on each class based on its confidence values. When $DS_1$ quickly classifies all images from a microscopy slide, the method selects a number of images with higher chances of misclassification for characterization and reclassification by $DS_2$. Our hybrid system can improve the overall effectiveness without compromising efficiency, being suitable for the clinical routine -- a strategy that might be suitable for other real applications. As demonstrated on large datasets, the proposed system can achieve, on average, 94.9%, 87.8%, and 92.5% of Cohens Kappa on helminth eggs, helminth larvae, and protozoa cysts, respectively.
Object detection remains as one of the most notorious open problems in computer vision. Despite large strides in accuracy in recent years, modern object detectors have started to saturate on popular benchmarks raising the question of how far we can r
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a precursor to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. While over half of patients are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at a distant stage, patients who are diagnosed early enjoy a much higher 5-year surviv
Research on image quality assessment (IQA) remains limited mainly due to our incomplete knowledge about human visual perception. Existing IQA algorithms have been designed or trained with insufficient subjective data with a small degree of stimulus v
Action recognition is a crucial task for video understanding. In this paper, we present AutoVideo, a Python system for automated video action recognition. It currently supports seven action recognition algorithms and various pre-processing modules. U
Text detection in natural scene images for content analysis is an interesting task. The research community has seen some great developments for English/Mandarin text detection. However, Urdu text extraction in natural scene images is a task not well
