The identification which uses biological characteristics has been a current top in the recent past. However, numerous spoofing skills occur with the rising prosperity of advance recognition technology, especially in the detection and recognition of a face. In allusion to the problem above, more robust and accurate face spoofing detection schemes have been put forward. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated extraordinary success in face liveness detection recently. In this study, an effective face anti-spoofing detection method based on CNN and rotation invariant local binary patterns (RI-LBP) has been proposed. First, the authors use CNN to extract deep features and use RI-LBP to extract colour texture features. In addition, the principal component analysis approach is employed to decrease the dimensions of deep characteristic. Moreover, two different features are fused before applying to support vector machine (SVM). Finally, the SVM classifier is adopted to identify genuine faces from fake faces. They have conducted extensive experiments to obtain a scheme of better generalisation capability for face anti-spoofing detection. The analysis results indicate that the proposed approach implements great generalisation capability over other state-of-the-art approaches within the intra-databases and cross-databases.
Medical image quality requirements have been increasingly stringent with the recent developments of medical technology. To meet clinical diagnosis needs, an effective medical image enhancement method based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and frequency band broadening (FBB) is proposed. Curvelet transform is used to deal with medical data by obtaining the curvelet coefficient in each scale and direction, and the generalised cross‐validation is implemented to select the optimal threshold for performing denoising processing. Meanwhile, the cycle spinning scheme is used to wipe off the visible ringing effects along the edges of medical images. Then, FBB and a new CNN model based on the retinex model are used to improve the processed image resolution. Eventually, pixel‐level fusion is made between two enhanced medical images from CNN and FBB. In the authors’ study, 50 groups of medical magnetic resonance imaging, X‐ray, and computed tomography images in total have been studied. The experimental results indicate that the final enhanced image using the proposed method outperforms other methods. The resolution and the edge details of the processed image are significantly enhanced, providing a more effective and accurate basis for medical workers to diagnose diseases.
In order to solve the problem of face recognition in complex environments being vulnerable to illumination change, object rotation, occlusion, and so on, which leads to the imprecision of target position, a face recognition algorithm with multi-feature fusion is proposed. This study presents a new robust face-matching method named SR-CNN, combining the rotation-invariant texture feature (RITF) vector, the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) vector, and the convolution neural network (CNN). Furthermore, a graphics processing unit (GPU) is used to parallelize the model for an optimal computational performance. The Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) database and self-collection face database were selected for experiments. It turns out that the true positive rate is improved by 10.97–13.24% and the acceleration ratio (the ratio between central processing unit (CPU) operation time and GPU time) is 5–6 times for the LFW face database. For the self-collection, the true positive rate increased by 12.65–15.31%, and the acceleration ratio improved by a factor of 6–7.
Hospitals need to invest a lot of manpower to manually input the contents of medical invoices (nearly 300,000,000 medical invoices a year) into the medical system. In order to help the hospital save money and stabilize work efficiency, this paper designed a system to complete the complicated work using a Gaussian blur and smoothing–convolutional neural network combined with a recurrent neural network (GBS-CR) method. Gaussian blur and smoothing (GBS) is a novel preprocessing method that can fix the breakpoint font in medical invoices. The combination of convolutional neural network (CNN) and recurrent neural network (RNN) was used to raise the recognition rate of the breakpoint font in medical invoices. RNN was designed to be the semantic revision module. In the aspect of image preprocessing, Gaussian blur and smoothing were used to fix the breakpoint font. In the period of making the self-built dataset, a certain proportion of the breakpoint font (the font of breakpoint is 3, the original font is 7) was added, in this paper, so as to optimize the Alexnet–Adam–CNN (AA-CNN) model, which is more suitable for the recognition of the breakpoint font than the traditional CNN model. In terms of the identification methods, we not only adopted the optimized AA-CNN for identification, but also combined RNN to carry out the semantic revisions of the identified results of CNN, meanwhile further improving the recognition rate of the medical invoices. The experimental results show that compared with the state-of-art invoice recognition method, the method presented in this paper has an average increase of 10 to 15 percentage points in recognition rate.
