3D Kinect Camera Scheme with Time-Series Deep-Learning Algorithms for Classification and Prediction of Lung Tumor Motility

Abstract

This paper proposes a time-series deep-learning 3D Kinect camera scheme to classify the respiratory phases with a lung tumor and predict the lung tumor displacement. Specifically, the proposed scheme is driven by two time-series deep-learning algorithmic models: the respiratory-phase classification model and the regression-based prediction model. To assess the performance of the proposed scheme, the classification and prediction models were tested with four categories of datasets: patient-based datasets with regular and irregular breathing patterns; and pseudopatient-based datasets with regular and irregular breathing patterns. In this study, ‘pseudopatients’ refer to a dynamic thorax phantom with a lung tumor programmed with varying breathing patterns and breaths per minute. The total accuracy of the respiratory-phase classification model was 100%, 100%, 100%, and 92.44% for the four dataset categories, with a corresponding mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and coefficient of determination (R2) of 1.2–1.6%, 0.65–0.8%, and 0.97–0.98, respectively. The results demonstrate that the time-series deep-learning classification and regression-based prediction models can classify the respiratory phases and predict the lung tumor displacement with high accuracy. Essentially, the novelty of this research lies in the use of a low-cost 3D Kinect camera with time-series deep-learning algorithms in the medical field to efficiently classify the respiratory phase and predict the lung tumor displacement.

Enhanced Deep-Learning-Based Automatic Left-Femur Segmentation Scheme with Attribute Augmentation

“…+ 0.5) × (y max − y min ) + y min (6) where y i is the HU output in the range of 0 to 255 HU (i.e., 2 8-bit ), and x i is the HU input given that i denotes the number of pixels (i.e., the resolution of image) of the CT slice. Since the preprocessed CT slice is in 8-bit PNG format, the range of the HU output (y i ) is between 0-255 HU.…”

“…In radiotherapy planning, image segmentation (or contour delineation) is required to distinguish between tumors and organs at risk (OARs), which are healthy organs or tissues that may be adversely affected by the radiation treatment. This is achieved in order to determine the optimal radiation dose and direction of the beam in the treatment to shrink tumors or eradicate cancer cells while sparing the nearby healthy tissue [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. As a result, contour delineation is vital for effective cancer treatment [ 7 , 8 ].…”

Autoformer-Based Model for Predicting and Assessing Wheat Quality Changes of Pesticide Residues during Storage

“…In Equation (22), s represents the mean distance between each point of the cluster and the center of mass of the cluster, also known as the cluster diameter, and d ij denotes the distance between its different clustering cluster centers i and j. The formula calculates the maximum similarity of a total of K clusters taking the mean value, and the best clustering is achieved when the DBI reaches a minimum value.…”

“…Recently, time-series analysis [20] has been widely used in the fields of medicine [21,22], risk prediction [23,24], and agriculture [25,26], which is attributed to its ability to model and analyze historical information to predict upcoming tendencies The quality variation of the wheat storage process is closely related to the influencing factors with time-series characteristics, so there are more and more scholars of time-series analysis to predict and evaluate the quality of wheat storage and its related aspects. Jeong et al [27] employed the random forest (RF) algorithm, which integrated four climatic variables and seven additional biophysical variables, to accurately forecast wheat yields across various regions worldwide.…”

Robust human locomotion and localization activity recognition over multisensory

“…Tools like infrared sensors ( Perez and Zeadally, 2021 ; Liu et al, 2022a ) and recent 3D data acquisition systems ( Yu et al, 2023 ; Bruno et al, 2015 ) such as Microsoft Kinect ( Zhao et al, 2023 ; Liu et al, 2022b ; Shen et al, 2022 ) are emerging as robust alternatives, offering precision without compromising user privacy. As HAR technologies evolve, integrating wearables and non-intrusive sensors, the field is poised to offer deeper insights into human behavior ( Zhang et al, 2012b ; Puangragsa et al, 2022 ) enhancing security, health monitoring, and infrastructure management ( Kamarudin, et al, 2014 ; Hu et al, 2022 ; Hassan and Gutub, 2022 ).…”
