The present disclosure relates to a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform operations, including generating an imaging data set having both scan data and digitized biopsy data from a patient with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Scan derived features are extracted from the scan data and biopsy derived features are extracted from the digitized biopsy data. A radiomic-pathomic risk score (RPRS) is calculated from one or more of the scan derived features and one or more of the biopsy derived features. The RPRS is indicative of a prognosis of the patient.

Disclosed is a method for diagnosing a neurodegenerative disease in a subject. The method comprises obtaining from the subject a sample comprising at least one live blood cell, and optionally isolating at least one live blood cell from the sample. The method further comprises generating one or more multispectral or hyperspectral images of the at least one cell, and analysing spectral characteristics of autofluorescence from the at least one cell. Also disclosed is a system configured to aid in the detection or diagnosis of a neurodegenerative disease. Also disclosed is a method for selecting a subject for treatment for a neurodegenerative disease. Also disclosed is a method for monitoring the response of a subject to a therapeutic treatment for a neurodegenerative disease. Also disclosed is a protocol for monitoring the efficacy of a therapeutic treatment for a neurodegenerative disease.

An artificial neural network-based method for detecting a surface type of an object includes: receiving a plurality of object images, wherein a plurality of spectra of the plurality of object images are different from one another and each of the object images has one of the spectra; transforming each object image into a matrix, wherein the matrix has a channel value that represents the spectrum of the corresponding object image; and executing a deep learning program by using the matrices to build a predictive model for identifying a target surface type of the object. Accordingly, the speed of identifying the target surface type of the object is increased, further improving the product yield of the object.

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure include apparatus and methods to classify the plaque tissue present in the coronary artery using intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images.

Systems and methods for image recognition are provided. A style-transfer neural network is trained for each real image to obtain a trained style-transfer neural network. The texture or style features of the real images are transferred, via the trained style-transfer neural network, to a target image to generate styled images which are used for training an image-recognition machine learning model (e.g., a neural network). In some cases, the real images are clustered and representative style images are selected from the clusters.

An image processing device has a function for plotting a luminance gradient co-occurrence pair of an image on a feature plane and applying an EM algorithm to form a GMM. The device learns a pedestrian image and creates a GMM, subsequently learns a background image and creates a GMM, and calculates a difference between the two and generates a GMM for relearning based on the calculation. The device plots a sample that conforms to the GMM for relearning on the feature plane by applying an inverse function theorem. The device forms a GMM that represents the distribution of samples at a designated mixed number and thereby forms a standard GMM that serves as a standard for image recognition. When this mixed number is set to less than a mixed number designated earlier, the dimensions with which an image is analyzed are reduced, making it possible to reduce calculation costs.
