In this paper we present a photogrammetry-based approach for deep-sea underwater surveys conducted from submarine and guided by knowledge-representation combined with logical (ontology). Two major issues are discussed in paper. The first concerns using photogrammetry submarine. Here the goal was to obtain set of images that completely covered selected site. Subsequently based on these images, low-resolution 3D model is obtained real-time, followed very high-resolution produced back...

In this article, we present an approach for a deep-sea survey based on photogrammetry using remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV). A hybrid technique gives us real-time results, sufficient piloting the ROV from surface vessel and ensuring uniform coverage of site, as well recording high-definition images onboard computer that will later provide with millimetric precision. The measurements are made without any contact noninvasive. time required on-site is minimal corresponds to needed by...

The early detection of melanoma is the most efficient way to reduce its mortality rate. Dermatologists achieve this task with help dermoscopy, a non-invasive tool allowing visualization patterns skin lesions. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems developed on dermoscopic images are needed assist dermatologists. These rely mainly multiclass classification approaches. However, lesions by an automated system remains challenging task. Decomposing problem into binary can complexity initial and...

Early detection of melanoma remains a daily challenge due to the increasing number cases and lack dermatologists. Thus, AI-assisted diagnosis is considered as possible solution for this issue. Despite great advances brought by deep learning especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), computer-aided (CAD) systems are still not used in clinical practice. This may be explained dermatologist's fear being misled false negative assimilation CNNs "black box", making their decision process...

Melanoma is still a major health problem worldwide. Early diagnosis the first step toward reducing its mortality, but it remains challenge even for experienced dermatologists. Although computer-aided systems have been developed to help diagnosis, lack of insight into their predictions significant limitation acceptance by medical community. To tackle this issue, we designed handcrafted expert features representing color asymmetry within lesions, which are parts approach used dermatologists in...
