A characteristic clinical feature of COVID-19 is the frequent incidence microvascular thrombosis. In fact, autopsy reports have shown widespread thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by extensive diffuse microthrombi within peripheral capillaries and arterioles in lungs, hearts, other organs, resulting multiorgan failure. However, underlying process COVID-19-associated thrombosis remains elusive due to lack tools statistically examine platelet aggregation (i.e., initiation microthrombus...
Significance Many diseases lack visual cues in early stages, eluding image-based detection. Today, osteoarthritis is diagnosed at an irreversible stage after bone damage has occurred. This research demonstrates that detection healthy individuals may be possible 3 y prior to symptoms or damage. We describe a technique combining mass transport theory with statistical pattern recognition, discovering sensitive cartilage phenotypes predict future progression high accuracy. As our approach based...
This paper presents a new end-to-end signal classification method using the signed cumulative distribution transform (SCDT). We adopt transport generative model to define problem. then make use of mathematical properties SCDT render problem easier in domain, and solve for class an unknown sample nearest local subspace (NLS) search algorithm domain. Experiments show that proposed provides high accuracy results while being computationally cheap, data efficient, robust out-of-distribution...
ABSTRACT Alterations in nuclear morphology are useful adjuncts and even diagnostic tools used by pathologists the diagnosis grading of many tumors, particularly malignant tumors. Large datasets such as TCGA Human Protein Atlas, combination with emerging machine learning statistical modeling methods, feature extraction deep techniques, can be to extract meaningful knowledge from images nuclei, cancerous Here, we describe a new technique based on mathematics optimal transport for information...
Microvascular thrombosis is a typical symptom of COVID-19 and shows similarities to thrombosis. Using microfluidic imaging flow cytometer, we measured the blood 181 samples 101 non-COVID-19 samples, resulting in total 6.3 million bright-field images. We trained convolutional neural network distinguish single platelets, platelet aggregates, white cells performed classical image analysis for each subpopulation individually. Based on derived single-cell features population, machine learning...

Abstract Learning from point sets is an essential component in many computer vision and machine learning applications. Native, unordered, permutation invariant set structure space challenging to model, particularly for classification under spatial deformations.

We present a new method for face recognition from digital images acquired under varying illumination conditions. The is based on mathematical modeling of local gradient distributions using the Radon Cumulative Distribution Transform (R-CDT). demonstrate that lighting variations cause certain types deformations image which, when expressed in R-CDT domain, can be modeled as subspace. Face then performed nearest subspace domain distributions. Experiment results proposed outperforms other...

Abstract A characteristic clinical feature of COVID-19 is the frequent occurrence thrombotic events. Furthermore, many cases multiorgan failure are in nature. Since outbreak COVID-19, D-dimer testing has been used extensively to evaluate COVID-19-associated thrombosis, but does not provide a complete view disease because it probes blood coagulation, platelet activity. Due this limitation, fails account for events which occur despite low levels, such as sudden stroke young patients and...
