چکیده

A novel multi-resolution cluster detection (MCD) method is proposed to identify irregularly shaped clusters in space. Multi-scale test statistic on a single cell is derived based on likelihood ratio statistic for Bernoulli sequence, Poisson sequence and Normal sequence. A neighborhood variability measure is defined to select the optimal test threshold. The MCD method is compared with single scale testing methods controlling for false discovery rate and the spatial scan statistics using simulation and f-MRI data. The MCD method is shown to be more effective for discovering irregularly shaped clusters, and the implementation of this method does not require heavy computation, making it suitable for cluster detection for large spatial data.

Automatic segmentation of fluorescence lifetime microscopy images of cells using multiresolution community detection--a first study.

Inspired by a multiresolution community detection based network segmentation method, we suggest an automatic method for segmenting fluorescence lifetime (FLT) imaging microscopy (FLIM) images of cells in a first pilot investigation on two selected images. The image processing problem is framed as identifying segments with respective average FLTs against the background in FLIM images. The propos...

High-Speed Human Detection Using a Multiresolution Cascade of Histograms of Oriented Gradients

This paper presents a new method for human detection based on a multiresolution cascade of Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) that can highly reduce the computational cost of the detection search without affecting accuracy. The method consists of a cascade of sliding window detectors. Each detector is a Support Vector Machine (SVM) composed by features at different resolution, from coarse f...

Multiresolution data acquisition and detection in functional MRI.

In an investigation of a multiresolution and multistaged approach in functional MRI, the relationship between spatial resolution and detection of functional activation is examined. The difference between functional detection and mapping is defined, and a multiresolution approach to functional detection is analyzed by constructing simple theoretical and experimental models simulating variations ...

Multiresolution analysis of spatial patterns to detect dominant directions

The assumption of direction invariance, i.e., isotropy, is often made in the practical analysis of spatial point processes due to simpler interpretation and ease of analysis. However, this assumption is many times hard to find in real applications. Many homogeneous point processes are indeed anisotropic. This paper concerns the analysis and detection of spatial anisotropies in terms of detectio...

Multiresolution local binary pattern texture analysis combined with variable selection for application to false-positive reduction in computer-aided detection of breast masses on mammograms.

In this paper, a new and novel approach is designed for extracting local binary pattern (LBP) texture features from the computer-identified mass regions, aiming to reduce false-positive (FP) detection in a computerized mass detection framework. The proposed texture feature, the so-called multiresolution LBP feature, is well able to characterize the regional texture patterns of core and margin r...
