As a case study, we consider cars in the parking lots of an urban imagery as targets. What makes this problem challenging is the copresence of several parking garages and parking lots in the same imagery. Both the cars in the parking lots and in the parking garages present with similar spectral characteristics. Spectral representation alone is not sufficient to uniquely define a pixel as a car in the parking lot. In this example, before a pixel is confirmed as a target or rejected as not being a target, classifiers corresponding to spectral and spatial representations of the samples has to concord. The current study discusses some possible ways these classifiers can be trained so that the rate of true concordance is maximized. We consider independent training and feature concatenation first and then propose a joint optimization scheme. The proposed approach aims to optimize multiple classifiers at once so as to maximize concordance among the classifiers while minimizing the classification error.

A quadratic term characterizing the spatial correlations in a multispectral image is added into the standard SVM optimization criterion. The mathematical structure of the SVM programming problem is retained, and the solution can be expressed in terms of the ordinary SVM solution with a modified dot product. The spatial correlations are characterized by a "contiguity matrix" psi whose computation does not require labeled data; thus, the method provides a way to use a mix of labeled and unlabeled data. We present numerical comparisons of classification performance for this contiguity-enhanced SVM against a standard SVM for two multispectral data sets.

METHOD AND MATERIALS The database of high-resolution CT images was obtained from NYU Medical Center (number of patients (n) =105, positives=61), Cleveland Clinic Foundation (n=42, positives= 9), and two EU sites in Vienna and Belgium (n=16, positives=15). The sensitivity was established with respect to CTC by comparison to colonoscopy. CT data was acquired using a Volume Zoom CT scanner 4x1mm slice detector and a Sensation16, all with 120kV, and exposure from 50 to110mAs, with B10f & B30f kernels. The slice thickness ranged between 1.25mm, 1.5mm & 2.0 mm with reconstruction interval of values between 0.7mm and 1.2mm and axial resolution between 0.54mm & 1.2mm. The CAD algorithm performed: candidate generation, based on shape characteristics; feature extraction at each candid...

PURPOSE Evaluate the performance of a module for suppression of false positive CAD marks located ... more PURPOSE Evaluate the performance of a module for suppression of false positive CAD marks located on the ileo cecal valve (ICV) in a prototype polyp detection system when applied to clean or tagged CTC datasets METHOD AND MATERIALS The ICV detection component uses 5 steps: a) detecting the ICV orifice leveraging its distinctive local curvature profile, b) a rough estimation of its orientation by aligning it with the local gradients at a given location. Estimation of the c) position, d) size of the ICV and e) refining the orientation is calculated by performing marginal space learning. In each of the 5 steps, all potential orifice candidates are evaluated using different classifiers. The top 100 candidates with maximal orifice probabilities are selected for further parameter estimation and searching. The number of selected candidates is set to maintain a good trade-off between detection accuracy and speed. The position of 116 manually marked ICV orifices were used to generate a traini...

Data was obtained from 10 sites in the US and Europe, acquired using different CT scanner types from different manufacturers (4, 16, and 64 detectors), with a wide range of acquisition parameters. Axial spacing ranged from 0.48-0.97mm; reconstruction interval from 0.5 -4mm; exposure from 10 -200mAs. A majority of cases were acquired with 120 or 130 kVP. All available cases, including those with poor preparation, distention, and artifacts, were included. The test set also had data from sites not used in the training set. The CAD system was optimized to provide best sensitivity for polyps >= 6mm in extent RESUL...

It is a prerequisite for all CAD systems to extract the air-distended colon segments from 3D abdomen computed tomography scans. In this paper, we present a two-level statistical approach of first separating colon segments from small intestine, stomach and other extra-colonic parts by classification on a new geometric feature set; then evaluating the overall performance confidence using distance and geometry statistics over patients. The proposed method is fully automatic and validated using both the classification results in the first level and its numerical impacts on false positive reduction of extra-colonic findings in a CAD system. It shows superior performance than the state-of-art knowledge or anatomy based colon segmentation algorithms.
