Paper tackles depth estimation and optic disc-cup segmentation from color fundus images.

Vision impairment due to pathological damage of the retina can largely be prevented through periodic screening using fundus color imaging. However the challenge with large scale screening is the inability to exhaustively detect fine blood vessels crucial to disease diagnosis. In this work we present a computational ima…

Diabetic eye disease is one of the fastest growing causes of preventable blindness. With the advent of anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) therapies, it has become increasingly important to detect center-involved diabetic macular edema (ci-DME). However, center-involved diabetic macular edema is diagnosed us…

Synthesizing images of the eye fundus is a challenging task that has been previously approached by formulating complex models of the anatomy of the eye. New images can then be generated by sampling a suitable parameter space. In this work, we propose a method that learns to synthesize eye fundus images directly from da…

Dual-edge spatial Jacobian image graph for interpretable diabetic retinopathy grading

The ability to characterize the color content of natural imagery is an important application of image processing. The pixel by pixel coloring of images may be viewed naturally as points in color space, and the inherent structure and distribution of these points affords a quantization, through clustering, of the color i…

A new method classifies color images using quaternion algebra.

Generative modeling over natural images is one of the most fundamental machine learning problems. However, few modern generative models, including Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Nets (WGANs), are studied on manifold-valued images that are frequently encountered in real-world applications. To fill the gap, this pape…

Recent progress on many imaging and vision tasks has been driven by the use of deep feed-forward neural networks, which are trained by propagating gradients of a loss defined on the final output, back through the network up to the first layer that operates directly on the image. We propose back-propagating one step fur…

Spectral images captured by satellites and radio-telescopes are analyzed to obtain information about geological compositions distributions, distant asters as well as undersea terrain. Spectral images usually contain tens to hundreds of continuous narrow spectral bands and are widely used in various fields. But the vast…

Reliable microaneurysm detection in digital fundus images is still an open issue in medical image processing. We propose an ensemble-based framework to improve microaneurysm detection.

In this paper, we confront the problem of deep learning's big labeled data requirements, offer a rule based strategy for extreme augmentation of small data sets and apply that strategy with the image to image translation model by Isola et al.

We show that any twisted Dijkgraaf-Witten representation of a mapping class group of an orientable, compact surface with boundary has finite image.

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have recently achieved state-of-the-art results in various applications.

In this paper, we consider biquandle colorings for knotoids in $\mathbb{R}^2$ or $S^2$ and we construct several coloring invariants for knotoids derived as enhancements of the biquandle counting invariant. We first enhance the biquandle counting invariant by using a matrix constructed by utilizing the orientation a kno…

We extend the notion of link colorings with values in an Alexander quandle to link colorings with values in a module $M$ over the Laurent polynomial ring $Λ_μ=\mathbb{Z}[t_1^{\pm1},\dots,t_μ^{\pm1}]$. If $D$ is a diagram of a link $L$ with $μ$ components, then the colorings of $D$ with values in $M$ form a $Λ_μ$-module…
