CNN Based Landmark Detection and Alzheimer’s Diagnosis Using Landmark Feature
One of the fundamental challenges in anatomical landmark detection, based on deep neural networks, is the constrained availability of medical imaging data for network mastering. To address this trouble, we present a two-stage task-oriented deep learning method to detect big-scale anatomical landmarks simultaneously in actual time using restrained education statistics. Especially, our technique includes deep convolutional neural networks (CNN), with every specializing in one particular project. In particular, to alleviate the trouble of limited training statistics, within the first stage, we endorse a CNN primarily based regression model the use of millions of image patches as input, aiming to examine inherent associations between nearby photo patches and target anatomical landmarks. to similarly version the correlations amongst image patches, in the second stage, we expand some other CNN model, which includes a) a fully convolutional networks (FCN) that shares the same architecture and community weights as the CNN used within the first stage and additionally b) numerous more layers to at the same time predict coordinates of a couple of anatomical landmarks. Importantly, our technique can jointly locate big-scale (e.g. hundreds of) landmarks in actual time. Using these landmark points we extract HOG and longitudinal features and using SVM to diagnose the Alzheimer’s disease.
