Thesis Title: Effective Electrodes Position and Features Selection for EEG Based Epilepsy Detection
Thesis Paper Link
Show Description..
Electroencephalographic signal is a representative signal that contains information about brain activity, which is used for the detection of epilepsy since epileptic seizures are caused by a disturbance in the electrophysiological activity of the brain. The prediction of epileptic seizure usually requires a detailed and experienced analysis of EEG. In this paper, we have introduced a statistical analysis of EEG signal that is capable of recognizing epileptic seizure with a high degree of accuracy and helps to provide automatic detection of epileptic seizure for different ages of epilepsy. To accomplish the target research, we extract various epileptic features namely approximate entropy (ApEn), standard deviation (SD), standard error (SE), modified mean absolute value (MMAV), roll-off (R), and zero crossing (ZC) from the epileptic signal. The k-nearest neighbours (k-NN) algorithm is used for the classification of epilepsy then regression analysis is used for the prediction of the epilepsy level at different ages of the patients. Using the statistical parameters and regression analysis, a prototype mathematical model is proposed which helps to find the epileptic randomness with respect to the age of different subjects. The accuracy of this prototype equation depends on proper analysis of the dynamic information from the epileptic EEG.

Thesis Title: Detection, Segmentation, and 3D Pose Estimation of Surgical Tools Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Algebraic Geometry
Thesis Paper Link
Show Description..
Surgical tool detection, segmentation, and 3D pose estimation are crucial components in Computer-Assisted Laparoscopy (CAL).
The existing frameworks have two main limitations. First, they do not integrate all three components.
Integration is critical; for instance, one should not attempt computing pose if detection is negative.
Second, they have highly specific requirements, such as the availability of a CAD model.
We propose an integrated and generic framework whose sole requirement for the 3D pose is that the tool shaft is cylindrical.
Our framework makes the most of deep learning and geometric 3D vision by combining a proposed Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with algebraic geometry.
We show two applications of our framework in CAL: tool-aware rendering in Augmented Reality (AR) and tool-based 3D measurement.
We name our CNN as ART-Net (Augmented Reality Tool Network).
It has a Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) architecture with one encoder and multiple decoders to achieve detection, segmentation, and geometric primitive extraction.
These primitives are the tool edge-lines, mid-line, and tool-tip.
They allow the tool 3D pose to be estimated by a fast algebraic procedure.
The framework only proceeds if a tool is detected.
The accuracy of segmentation and geometric primitive extraction is boosted by a new Full resolution feature map Generator (FrG).
We extensively evaluate the proposed framework with the EndoVis and new proposed datasets.
We compare the segmentation results against the Fully Convolutional Network (FCN) and UNet.
The proposed datasets are surgery videos of different patients, where we used an advanced model-based 3D tracking algorithm to obtain ground truth.
