Diagnostické vyhodnocování screeningových mamogramů pomocí lokálních texturních modelů
Grim, Jiří ; Somol, Petr
We propose statistically based preprocessing of screening mammograms with the aim to emphasize suspicious areas. We estimate the local statistical texture model of a single mammogram in the form of multivariate Gaussian mixture. The probability density is estimated from the data obtained by pixelwise scanning of the mammogram with the search window. In the second phase, we evaluate the estimated density at each position of the window and display the corresponding log-likelihood value as a gray level at the window center. Light gray levels correspond to the typical parts of the image and the dark values reflect unusual places. The resulting log-likelihood image exactly correlates with the structural details of the original mammogram, emphasizes locations of similar properties by contour lines and may provide additional information to facilitate diagnostic interpretation.
Informační shlukování kategoriálních dat
Hora, Jan
The EM algorithm has been used repeatedly to identify latent classes in categorical data by estimating finite distribution mixtures of product components. Unfortunately, the underlying mixtures are not uniquely identifiable and, moreover, the estimated mixture parameters are starting-point dependent. For this reason we use the latent class model only to define a set of ``elementary'' classes by estimating a mixture of a large number components. As such a mixture we use also an optimally smoothed kernel estimate. We propose a hierarchical ``bottom up'' cluster analysis based on unifying the elementary latent classes sequentially. The clustering procedure is controlled by minimum information loss criterion.
