Tumor Detection in Brain MRIs by Computing Dissimilarities in the Latent Space of a Variational AutoEncoder (2020)

Abstract The ability to automatically detect anomalies in brain MRI scans is of great importance in computer-aided diagnosis. Unsupervised anomaly detection methods work primarily by learning the distribution of healthy images and identifying abnormal tissues as outliers. We propose a slice-wise detection method which first trains a pair of autoencoders on two different datasets,…

Generalized Cellular Automata for Edege Detection (2020)

Abstract Cellular Automata (CA) are simple, easily parallelizable models that have been used extensively for various computational tasks. Such models are especially useful for image processing, as mapping automaton cells to image pixels is straightforward and intuitive. This paper proposes a novel optimization framework for CA rules based on evolutionary algorithms and used in…

Evolved cellular automata for edge detection (2019)

Abstract Cellular Automata (CA) can be successfully applied in various image processing tasks because they have a number of advantages over the traditional methods of computations: simplicity of implementation, the complexity of behaviour, parallelisation, extensibility, scalability, robustness. In this paper, an edge detection method for binary images, based on CA and Evolutionary Algorithms (EA)…
