The U-Net architecture-based segmentation models attained remarkable performance in numerous medical image segmentation missions like skin lesion segmentation. Nevertheless, the resolution gradually decreases and the loss of spatial information increases with deeper network. The fusion of adjacent layers is not enough to make up for the lost spatial information, thus resulting in errors of segmentation boundary so as to decline the accuracy of segmentation. To tackle the issue, we propose a new deep learning-based segmentation model. In the decoding stage, the feature channels of each decoding unit are concatenated with all the feature channels of the upper coding unit. Which is done in order to ensure the segmentation effect by integrating spatial and semantic information, and promotes the robustness and generalization of our model by combining the atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) module and channel attention module (CAM). Extensive experiments on ISIC2016 and ISIC2017 common datasets proved that our model implements well and outperforms compared segmentation models for skin lesion segmentation.

본 논문에서는 분할기반 은닉 마르코프 모델(segmentation based hidden Markov model)과 다층 퍼셉트론 (multi-layer perceptron)을 결합한 영문수표 필기단어 (legal word) 인식시스템을 제안하였다. 가변길이의 필기체 영문 단어 분할결과를 인식할 수 있도록 은닉 마르코프 모델을 이용하여 명확한 분할기반 (explicit segmentation-based) 단어단위 (word level) 인식기를 구현하고 다층 퍼셉트론을 이용하여 내재적 분할기반 (implicit segmentation-based) 단어단위 인식기를 구현하였다. 그리고 이종(heterogeneous)의 두 인식기를 새로운 결합 확률추정방식에 따라 결합함으로서 상호 보완 능력을 극대화시킬 수 있는 영문수표 필기단어 인식시스템을 구현하였다. 제안한 시스템을 캐나다 콘코디아 대학의 CENPARMI 영문 수표 데이터베이스에 적용하여 실험해 본 결과 기존의 연구결과에 비해 비교적 우수한 인식성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

Accurate liver segment segmentation based on radiological images is indispensable for the preoperative analysis of liver tumor resection surgery. However, most of the existing segmentation methods are not feasible to be used directly for this task due to the challenge of exact edge prediction with some tiny and slender vessels as its clinical segmentation criterion. To address this problem, we propose a novel deep learning based segmentation model, called Boundary-Aware Dual Attention Liver Segment Segmentation Model (BADA). This model can improve the segmentation accuracy of liver segments with enhancing the edges including the vessels serving as segment boundaries. In our model, the dual gated attention is proposed, which composes of a spatial attention module and a semantic attention module. The spatial attention module enhances the weights of key edge regions by concerning about the salient intensity changes, while the semantic attention amplifies the contribution of filters that can extract more discriminative feature information by weighting the significant convolution channels. Simultaneously, we build a dataset of liver segments including 59 clinic cases with dynamically contrast enhanced MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of portal vein stage, which annotated by several professional radiologists. Comparing with several state-of-the-art methods and baseline segmentation methods, we achieve the best results on this clinic liver segment segmentation dataset, where Mean Dice, Mean Sensitivity and Mean Positive Predicted Value reach 89.01%, 87.71% and 90.67%, respectively.

긴 문장 분석은 높은 분석 복잡도로 인해 기계 번역에서 매우 어려운 문제이다. 구문 분석의 복잡도를 줄이기 위하여 문장 분할 방법이 제안되었으며 본 논문에서는 문장 분할의 적용률과 정확도를 높이기 위한 최대 엔트로피 확률 모델 기반의 문장 분할 방법을 제시한다. 분할 위치의 어휘 문맥적 특징을 추출하여 후보 분할 위치를 선정하는 규칙을 학습을 통해 자동적으로 획득하고 각 후보 분할 위치에 분할 확률 값을 제공하는 확률 모델을 생성한다. 어휘 문맥은 문장 분할 위치가 표시된 말뭉치로부터 추출되며 최대 엔트로피 원리에 기반하여 확률 모델에 결합된다. Wall Street Journal의 문장을 추출하여 학습 데이타를 생성하는 말뭉치를 구축하고 네 개의 서로 다른 영역으로부터 문장을 추출하여 문장 분할 실험을 하였다. 실험을 통해 약 $88\%$의 문장 분할의 정확도와 약 $98\%$의 적용률을 보였다. 또한 문장 분할이 효율적인 파싱에 기여하는 정도를 측정하여 분석 시간 면에서 약 4.8배, 공간 면에서 약 3.6배의 분석 효율이 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

Semantic segmentation of road scene is the key technology of autonomous driving, and the improvement of convolutional neural network architecture promotes the improvement of model segmentation performance. The existing convolutional neural network has the simplification of learning knowledge and the complexity of the model. To address this issue, we proposed a road scene semantic segmentation algorithm based on multi-task collaborative learning. Firstly, a depthwise separable convolution atrous spatial pyramid pooling is proposed to reduce model complexity. Secondly, a collaborative learning framework is proposed involved with saliency detection, and the joint loss function is defined using homoscedastic uncertainty to meet the new learning model. Experiments are conducted on the road and nature scenes datasets. The proposed method achieves 70.94% and 64.90% mIoU on Cityscapes and PASCAL VOC 2012 datasets, respectively. Qualitatively, Compared to methods with excellent performance, the method proposed in this paper has significant advantages in the segmentation of fine targets and boundaries.

The corpus callosum is the largest part of the brain, which is related to many neurological diseases. Snake model or active contour model is widely used in medical image processing field, especially image segmentation they look into the nearby edge, localizing them accurately. In this paper, corpus callosum segmentation using the snake model, is proposed. We tested a snake model on brain MRI. Then we compared the result with an active shape approach and found that snake model had better segmentation accuracy also faster than active shape approach.

글이나 대화를 일정한 주제의 단위로 나누는 것을 주제 분리라고 한다. 지금까지 주제 분리는 주로 완결된 하나의 문서에서 최적화된 분리를 찾는 방향으로 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 몇몇 응용은 글이나 대화가 진행 중에 주제 분리를 할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 합성곱 신경망을 이용한 교사 학습 모델을 통해 문장의 진행 중에 주제 분리를 수행하는 모델에 대해 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 모델의 성능 검증을 위해 On-line 상황을 가정한 실험과 기존의 C99모델을 결합한 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 각각 17.8과 11.95의 Pk 점수를 얻었고, 이를 통해 본 논문의 모델을 통한 On-line 상황에서의 주제 분리 활용의 가능성을 확인하였다.

Object segmentation is a challenging task in image processing and computer vision. In this paper, we present a visual attention based segmentation method to segment small sized interesting objects in natural images. Different from the traditional methods, we first search the region of interest by using our novel saliency-based method, which is mainly based on band-pass filtering, to obtain the appropriate frequency. Secondly, we applied the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to locate the object region. By incorporating the visual attention analysis into object segmentation, our proposed approach is able to narrow the search region for object segmentation, so that the accuracy is increased and the computational complexity is reduced. The experimental results indicate that our proposed approach is efficient for object segmentation in natural images, especially for small objects. Our proposed method significantly outperforms traditional GMM based segmentation.

This paper proposes a semiautomatic vertebra segmentation method that overcomes limitations of both manual segmentation requiring tedious user interactions and fully automatic segmentation that is sensitive to initial conditions. The proposed method extracts fence surfaces between vertebrae, and segments a vertebra using fence-limited region growing. A fence surface is generated by a deformable model utilizing valley information in a valley emphasized Gaussian image. Fence-limited region growing segments a vertebra using gray value homogeneity and fence surfaces acting as barriers. The proposed method has been applied to ten patient data sets, and produced promising results accurately and efficiently with minimal user interaction.

Standard Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is a well-known method for image segmentation. However, one of its problems is that we consider the pixel as independent to each other, which can cause the segmentation results sensitive to noise. It explains why some of existing algorithms still cannot segment texts from the background clearly. Therefore, we present a new method in which we incorporate the spatial relationship between a pixel and its neighbors inside $3{\times}3$ windows to segment the text. Our approach works well with images containing texts, which has different sizes, shapes or colors in case of light changes or complex background. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness, accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed model in image segmentation compared to other methods.
