Tree ring widths are an important source of climatic and historical data, but measuring these widths typically requires extensive manual work. Computer vision techniques provide promising directions towards the automation of tree ring detection, but most automated methods still require a substantial amount of user interaction to obtain high accuracy. We perform analysis on 3D X-ray CT images of a cross-section of a tree trunk, known as a tree disk. We present novel automated methods for locating the pith (center) of a tree disk, and ring boundaries. Our methods use a combination of standard image processing techniques and tools from topological data analysis. We evaluate the efficacy of our method for two different CT scans by comparing its results to manually located rings and centers and show that it is better than current automatic methods in terms of correctly counting each ring and its location. Our methods have several parameters, which we optimize experimentally by minimizing edit distances to the manually obtained locations.

Current surveillance and control systems still require human supervision and intervention. This work presents a novel automatic handgun detection system in videos appropriate for both, surveillance and control purposes. We reformulate this detection problem into the problem of minimizing false positives and solve it by building the key training data-set guided by the results of a deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) classifier, then assessing the best classification model under two approaches, the sliding window approach and region proposal approach. The most promising results are obtained by Faster R-CNN based model trained on our new database. The best detector show a high potential even in low quality youtube videos and provides satisfactory results as automatic alarm system. Among 30 scenes, it successfully activates the alarm after five successive true positives in less than 0.2 seconds, in 27 scenes. We also define a new metric, Alarm Activation per Interval (AApI), to assess the performance of a detection model as an automatic detection system in videos.
The aim of this study is developing an automatic system for detection of gait-related health problems using Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). The proposed system takes a video of patients as the input and estimates their 3D body pose using a DNN based met hod. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/rmehrizi/multi-view-pose-estimation. The resulting 3D body pose time series are then analyzed in a classifier, which classifies input gait videos into four different groups including Healthy, with Parkinsons disease, Post Stroke patient, and with orthopedic problems. The proposed system removes the requirement of complex and heavy equipment and large laboratory space, and makes the system practical for home use. Moreover, it does not need domain knowledge for feature engineering since it is capable of extracting semantic and high level features from the input data. The experimental results showed the classification accuracy of 56% to 96% for different groups. Furthermore, only 1 out of 25 healthy subjects were misclassified (False positive), and only 1 out of 70 patients were classified as a healthy subject (False negative). This study presents a starting point toward a powerful tool for automatic classification of gait disorders and can be used as a basis for future applications of Deep Learning in clinical gait analysis. Since the system uses digital cameras as the only required equipment, it can be employed in domestic environment of patients and elderly people for consistent gait monitoring and early detection of gait alterations.
We investigate tree-automatic well-founded trees. Using Delhommes decomposition technique for tree-automatic structures, we show that the (ordinal) rank of a tree-automatic well-founded tree is strictly below omega^omega. Moreover, we make a step tow ards proving that the ranks of tree-automatic well-founded partial orders are bounded by omega^omega^omega: we prove this bound for what we call upwards linear partial orders. As an application of our result, we show that the isomorphism problem for tree-automatic well-founded trees is complete for level Delta^0_{omega^omega} of the hyperarithmetical hierarchy with respect to Turing-reductions.
Given a set $F$ of words, one associates to each word $w$ in $F$ an undirected graph, called its extension graph, and which describes the possible extensions of $w$ on the left and on the right. We investigate the family of sets of words defined by t he property of the extension graph of each word in the set to be acyclic or connected or a tree. We prove that in a uniformly recurrent tree set, the sets of first return words are bases of the free group on the alphabet. Concerning acyclic sets, we prove as a main result that a set $F$ is acyclic if and only if any bifix code included in $F$ is a basis of the subgroup that it generates.
Tree sets are abstract structures that can be used to model various tree-shaped objects in combinatorics. Finite tree sets can be represented by finite graph-theoretical trees. We extend this representation theory to infinite tree sets. First we ch aracterise those tree sets that can be represented by tree sets arising from infinite trees; these are precisely those tree sets without a chain of order type ${omega+1}$. Then we introduce and study a topological generalisation of infinite trees which can have limit edges, and show that every infinite tree set can be represented by the tree set admitted by a suitable such tree-like space.
