Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are key disciplines towards tackling the challenges related to Sustainable Development Goals. However, evidence shows that women enrolling in these a smaller percentage than men, especially Engineering fields. As stated by United Nations Women section, increasing number of studying working STEM fields is fundamental achieving better solutions global challenges, since potential for innovation larger. In this paper, we present Girls4STEM...

A data-adaptive algorithm is presented for the selection of basis functions and training data used in classifier design with application to sensing mine-like targets a side-scan sonar. Automatic detection using sonar imagery complicated by variability target, clutter, background signatures. Specifically, strong dependence on environmental conditions vitiates assumption that one may perform priori separate collected previously. In this paper, novel active-learning developed based kernel...

Mine-like object classification from sidescan sonar images is of great interest for mine counter measure (MCM) operations. Because the shadow cast by an often most distinct feature a image, standard procedure to perform based on features extracted shadow. The can then be performed extracting and comparing this training data determine object. In paper, superellipse fitting approach classifying mine-like objects in presented. Superellipses provide compact efficient way representing different...

This paper proposes one possibility to generalize the morphological operations (particularly, dilation, erosion, opening, and closing) color images. First, properties of a desirable generalization are stated brief review is done on former approaches. Then, method explained, which based total ordering colors in an image induced by its histogram; this valid for just may present problems smoothly coloured To solve these drawbacks refinement consisting smoothing histogram using joint several...

Anatomical atlases are 3D volumes or shapes representing an organ structure of the human body. They contain either prototypical shape object interest together with other its statistical variations (statistical atlas) a probability map belonging to (probabilistic atlas). Probabilistic mostly built simple estimations only involving data at each spatial location. A new method for probabilistic atlas construction that uses generalized linear model is proposed. This aims improve estimation be...

This works deals with the concept of liver segmentation by using a priori information based on probabilistic atlases and learning previous steps. A atlas is here understood as probability or membership map that tells how likely point belongs to shape drawn from distribution at hand. We devise procedure segment Perfusion Magnetic Resonance images combines both: algorithm global simpler steps, local close segmented slices finally mathematical morphology procedure, namely viscous...
