In the tandem feature extraction scheme a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) with softmax output layer is discriminatively trained to estimate context independent phoneme posterior probabilities on a labeled database. The outputs of the MLP after nonlinear transformation and Principal ComponentAnalysis (PCA) are used as features in a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) based recognizer. The baseline tandem ...

This paper describes a supporting tool for medical doctors, providing the automatic definition of radiation volumes (planning target volume, PTV) for conformal radiotherapy computed on detected tumor areas (gross tumor volume, GTV) within radiographic images. First, the recognized brain tumor is geometrically reconstructed and visualized in three-dimensional space. Then, the respective growth d...
