Abstract

This study examines the possibility of remotely measuring the cardiac pulse activity of a patient, which could be an alternative technique to the classical method. This type of measurement is non-invasive. However, several limitations may deteriorate the accuracy of the results, including changes in ambient illumination, motion artifacts (MA) and other interferences that may occur through video recording. The paper in hand presents a new approach as a remedy for the aforementioned problem in cardiac pulse signals extracted from facial video recordings. Partitioning provides the basis for the presented MA reduction method; the acquired signals are partitioned into two sets for each second and every partition is shifted to the mean level and then all the partitions are recombined again into one signal, which is followed by low-pass filtering for enhancement. The proposed compared with ordinary pulse oximetry Photoplethysmographic (PPG) method. The resulted correlation coefficient was found (0.957) when calculated between the results of the proposed method and the ordinary one. Experiments were implemented using a common camera by creating a dataset from 11 subjects. The ease of implementation of this method with a simple that can be used to monitor the cardiac pulse rates in both home and the clinical environments.

Abstract

Automated segmentation of a tumor is still a considerably exciting research topic in the medical imaging processing field, and it plays a considerable role in forming a right diagnosis, to aid effective medical treatment. In this work, a fully automated system for segmentation of the brain tumor in MRI images is introduced. The suggested system consists of three parts: Initially, the image is pre-processed to enhance contrast, eliminate noise, and strip the skull from the image using filtering and morphological operations. Secondly, segmentation of the image happens using two techniques, fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) and with the application of a seeded region growing algorithm (SGR). Thirdly, this method proposes a post-processing step to smooth segmentation region edges using morphological operations. The testing of the proposed system involved 233 patients, which included 287 MRI images. A comparison of the results ensued, with the manual verification of the traces performed by doctors, which ultimately proved an average Dice Coefficient of 90.13% and an average Jaccard Coefficient of 82.60% also, by comparison with traditional segmentation techniques such as FCM method. The segmentation results and quantitative data analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of the suggested system.
