Since the last few decades, number of road causalities has seen continuous growth across globe. Nowa-days intelligent transportation systems are being developed to enable safe and relaxed driving scene understanding surrounding environment is an integral part it. While several approaches for semantic segmentation based on deep learning Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), these assume well structured infrastructure environment. We focus our work recent India Driving Lite Dataset (IDD), which...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of visual impairment among elderly in world. Early detection AMD great importance, as vision loss caused by this disease irreversible and permanent. Color fundus photography most cost-effective imaging modality to screen for retinal disorders. Cutting edge deep learning based algorithms have been recently developed automatically detecting from images. However, there are still lack a comprehensive annotated dataset standard...
Abstract Skin cancer is a serious condition that requires accurate diagnosis and treatment. One way to assist clinicians in this task using computer-aided tools automatically segment skin lesions from dermoscopic images. We propose novel adversarial learning-based framework called Efficient-GAN (EGAN) uses an unsupervised generative network generate lesion masks. It consists of generator module with top-down squeeze excitation-based compound scaled path, asymmetric lateral connection-based...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health issue, affecting over 10% of the population and causing significant mortality. While biopsy remains gold standard for CKD diagnosis treatment, lack comprehensive benchmarks pathology segmentation hinders progress in field. To address this, we organized Kidney Pathology Image Segmentation (KPIs) Challenge, introducing dataset that incorporates preclinical rodent models with 10,000 annotated glomeruli from 60+ Periodic Acid Schiff...
Distinguishing between renal oncocytic tumors, such as oncocytoma (RO), and a subset of tumors with overlapping characteristics, including the recently identified low-grade tumor (LOT), can present diagnostic challenge for pathologists owing to shared histopathologic features. To develop an automatic computational classifier stratifying whole slide images biopsy resection specimens into 2 distinct groups: RO LOT. A total 269 from 125 cases across 6 institutions were collected. weakly...
Abstract Diagnosis of diffuse glioma according to the WHO 2021 classification criteria mandate integration histologic features with molecular profiling. However, profiling is expensive, time-demanding, and when not available leads ‘not-otherwise-specified' status. We seek interpretable AI-based glioma, as oligodendroglioma, astrocytoma, or glioblastoma, from H&E-stained slides alone. identified 2, 114 multi-institutional whole slide images (WSIs), two independent retrospective...
The first Agriculture-Vision Challenge aims to encourage research in developing novel and effective algorithms for agricultural pattern recognition from aerial images, especially the semantic segmentation task associated with our challenge dataset. Around 57 participating teams various countries compete achieve state-of-the-art agriculture segmentation. Agriculture- Vision Dataset was employed, which comprises of 21,061 multi-spectral farmland images. This paper provides a summary notable...
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical image processing, deep learning color fundus photography (CFP) analysis is also evolving. Although there are some open-source, labeled datasets CFPs ophthalmology community, large-scale for screening only have labels disease categories, and with annotations structures usually small size. In addition, labeling standards not uniform across datasets, no clear information on acquisition device. Here we release a...
Deep learning and pattern recognition in smart farming has seen rapid growth as a building bridge between crop science computer vision. One of the important application is anomaly segmentation agriculture like weed, standing water, cloud shadow, etc. Our research work focuses on aerial farmland image dataset known Agriculture Vision. We propose to have data fusion R, G, B, NIR modalities that enhances feature extraction also Efficient Fused Pyramid Network (Fuse-PN) for segmentation. The...
Introduction Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive malignant tumor of the central nervous system that displays varying molecular and morphological profiles, leading to challenging prognostic assessments. Stratifying GBM patients according overall survival (OS) from H&E-stained whole slide images (WSI) using advanced computational methods challenging, but with direct clinical implications. Methods This work focusing on (IDH-wildtype, CNS WHO Gr.4) cases, identified TCGA-GBM...

Abstract BACKGROUND Infiltrating gliomas are the most common primary adult brain tumors. Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation is a key driver of gliomagenesis in 25–30% infiltrating and correlates with favorable prognosis when compared histologically-similar but biologically-distinct IDH-wildtype glioblastoma. We sought an interpretable computational pipeline to predict IDH status from digitized histopathology glioma sections (Whole Slide Images - WSI) identify associated cell-level...
