INCEPTNET: Precise And Early Disease Detection Application For Medical Images Analyses

Abstract

In view of the recent paradigm shift in deep AI based image processing methods, medical image processing has advanced considerably. In this study, we propose a novel deep neural network (DNN), entitled InceptNet, in the scope of medical image processing, for early disease detection and segmentation of medical images in order to enhance precision and performance. We also investigate the interaction of users with the InceptNet application to present a comprehensive application including the background processes, and foreground interactions with users. Fast InceptNet is shaped by the prominent Unet architecture, and it seizes the power of an Inception module to be fast and cost effective while aiming to approximate an optimal local sparse structure. Adding Inception modules with various parallel kernel sizes can improve the network's ability to capture the variations in the scaled regions of interest. To experiment, the model is tested on four benchmark datasets, including retina blood vessel segmentation, lung nodule segmentation, skin lesion segmentation, and breast cancer cell detection. The improvement was more significant on images with small scale structures. The proposed method improved the accuracy from 0.9531, 0.8900, 0.9872, and 0.9881 to 0.9555, 0.9510, 0.9945, and 0.9945 on the mentioned datasets, respectively, which show outperforming of the proposed method over the previous works. Furthermore, by exploring the procedure from start to end, individuals who have utilized a trial edition of InceptNet, in the form of a complete application, are presented with thirteen multiple choice questions in order to assess the proposed method. The outcomes are evaluated through the means of Human Computer Interaction.

Hyperspectral Image Restoration and Super-resolution with Physics-Aware Deep Learning for Biomedical Applications

Hyperspectral imaging is a powerful bioimaging tool which can uncover novel insights, thanks to its sensitivity to the intrinsic properties of materials. However, this enhanced contrast comes at the cost of system complexity, constrained by an inherent trade-off between spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution. To overcome this limitation, we present a self-supervised deep learning-based approach that restores and enhances pixel resolution post-acquisition without requiring external training data beyond the images to be restored. Fine-tuned using metrics aligned with the imaging model, our physics-aware method achieves a 16$\times$ pixel super-resolution enhancement and a 12$\times$ imaging speedup without the need of additional training data for transfer learning. Applied to both synthetic and experimental data from five different sample types, including healthy and diseased tissues, we demonstrate that the model preserves biological integrity, as we did not detect systematic loss of biological features or biologically consequential hallucinations in tested datasets. We also concretely demonstrate the model's ability to reveal disease-associated metabolic changes that would otherwise remain undetectable. Furthermore, we provide physical insights into the model's inner workings, paving the way for future refinements that could potentially reveal novel high resolution features in an explainable manner. All methods are available as open-source software on GitHub.

OASIS: Online Adaptive Video Compression via Closed-loop Feedback Control

Computer vision systems are a key building block in an autonomous vehicle, responsible for a range of perception tasks. However, they incur massive data transmission over long communication links from multiple cameras, creating a critical bandwidth and energy bottleneck. Although conventional codecs such as H.264 can reduce data rates, they are ill-suited for real-time vision systems due to high processing latency and energy consumption, as well as their reliance on static user-defined compression settings. In light of these challenges, we propose OASIS, an adaptive video compression framework that integrates lightweight in-sensor compression with task-aware compression ratio control. Based on the real-time task performance, it dynamically updates the optimal compression ratio. Experimental results demonstrate that OASIS generalizes across multiple vision tasks, achieving on average a 6x data compression, 5.8x reduction in link power consumption, and 2.5x reduction in link latency, with at most 1.5% performance degradation.

Echo-E$^3$Net: Efficient Endocardial Spatio-Temporal Network for Ejection Fraction Estimation

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a primary marker of cardiac function. However, routine estimation from endocardial measurements requires manual delineation at end-diastole (ED) and end-systole (ES), a process that is time-consuming and subject to inter-observer variability. Reliable automation is especially valuable for point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), where computational resources are limited and acquisition quality varies. We propose Echo-E$^3$Net, an anatomy-guided spatio-temporal network that explicitly embeds cardiac anatomy into LVEF prediction. A dual-phase Endocardial Border Detector (E$^2$CBD) uses phase-specific cross-attention to localize ED/ES endocardial landmarks and produce phase-aware landmark embeddings, while an Endocardial Feature Aggregator (E$^2$FA) fuses these embeddings with global statistical descriptors of deep feature maps to refine EF regression. Training is guided by a lightweight geometric loss that uses ED and ES endocardial landmarks to regularize EF prediction. On EchoNet-Dynamic and a PSAX subset of EchoNet-Pediatric, Echo-E$^3$Net attains competitive performance using only 1.55M parameters and 8.05 GFLOPs, an order-of-magnitude compute reduction versus recent baselines, supporting real-time deployment. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/moeinheidari7829/Echo-E3Net.
