Project description:During acquisition and reconstruction, medical images may become noisy and lose diagnostic quality. In the case of CT scans, obtaining less noisy images results in a higher radiation dose being administered to the patient. Filtering techniques can be utilized to reduce radiation without losing diagnosis capabilities. The objective in this work is to obtain an implementation of a filter capable of processing medical images in real-time. To achieve this we have developed several filter methods based on fuzzy logic, and their GPU implementations, to reduce mixed Gaussian-impulsive noise. These filters have been developed to work in attenuation coefficients so as to not lose any information from the CT scans. The testing volumes come from the Mayo clinic database and consist of CT volumes at full and at simulated low dose. The GPU parallelizations reach speedups of over 2700 and take less than 0.1 seconds to filter more than 300 slices. In terms of quality the filter is competitive with other state of the art algorithmic and AI filters. The proposed method obtains good performance in terms of quality and the parallelization results in real-time filtering.

Project description:An increasing interest in models for multivariate spatio-temporal processes has been noted in the last years. Some of these models are very flexible and can capture both marginal and cross spatial associations amongst the components of the multivariate process. In order to contribute to the statistical analysis of these models, this paper deals with the estimation and prediction of multivariate spatio-temporal processes by using multivariate state-space models. In this context, a multivariate spatio-temporal process is represented through the well-known Wold decomposition. Such an approach allows for an easy implementation of the Kalman filter to estimate linear temporal processes exhibiting both short and long range dependencies, together with a spatial correlation structure. We illustrate, through simulation experiments, that our method offers a good balance between statistical efficiency and computational complexity. Finally, we apply the method for the analysis of a bivariate dataset on average daily temperatures and maximum daily solar radiations from 21 meteorological stations located in a portion of south-central Chile.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00477-022-02266-3.

Project description:RNA SHAPE experiments have become important and successful sources of information for RNA structure prediction. In such experiments, chemical reagents are used to probe RNA backbone flexibility at the nucleotide level, which in turn provides information on base pairing and therefore secondary structure. Little is known, however, about the statistics of such SHAPE data. In this work, we explore different representations of noise in SHAPE data and propose a statistically sound framework for extracting reliable reactivity information from multiple SHAPE replicates. Our analyses of RNA SHAPE experiments underscore that a normal noise model is not adequate to represent their data. We propose instead a log-normal representation of noise and discuss its relevance. Under this assumption, we observe that processing simulated SHAPE data by directly averaging different replicates leads to bias. Such bias can be reduced by analyzing the data following a log transformation, either by log-averaging or Kalman filtering. Application of Kalman filtering has the additional advantage that a prior on the nucleotide reactivities can be introduced. We show that the performance of Kalman filtering is then directly dependent on the quality of that prior. We conclude the paper with guidelines on signal processing of RNA SHAPE data.

Project description:The fidelity of the trajectories obtained from video-based particle tracking determines the success of a variety of biophysical techniques, including in situ single cell particle tracking and in vitro motility assays. However, the image acquisition process is complicated by system noise, which causes positioning error in the trajectories derived from image analysis. Here, we explore the possibility of reducing the positioning error by the application of a Kalman filter, a powerful algorithm to estimate the state of a linear dynamic system from noisy measurements. We show that the optimal Kalman filter parameters can be determined in an appropriate experimental setting, and that the Kalman filter can markedly reduce the positioning error while retaining the intrinsic fluctuations of the dynamic process. We believe the Kalman filter can potentially serve as a powerful tool to infer a trajectory of ultra-high fidelity from noisy images, revealing the details of dynamic cellular processes.

Project description:The filter problem with missing value for genetic regulation networks (GRNs) is addressed, in which the noises exist in both the state dynamics and measurement equations; furthermore, the correlation between process noise and measurement noise is also taken into consideration. In order to deal with the filter problem, a class of discrete-time GRNs with missing value, noise correlation, and time delays is established. Then a new observation model is proposed to decrease the adverse effect caused by the missing value and to decouple the correlation between process noise and measurement noise in theory. Finally, a Kalman filtering is used to estimate the states of GRNs. Meanwhile, a typical example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, and it turns out to be the case that the concentrations of mRNA and protein could be estimated accurately.

Project description:The problem of attitude estimation is broadly addressed using the Kalman filter formalism and unit quaternions to represent attitudes. This paper is also included in this framework, but introduces a new viewpoint from which the notions of "multiplicative update" and "covariance correction step" are conceived in a natural way. Concepts from manifold theory are used to define the moments of a distribution in a manifold. In particular, the mean and the covariance matrix of a distribution of unit quaternions are defined. Non-linear versions of the Kalman filter are developed applying these definitions. A simulation is designed to test the accuracy of the developed algorithms. The results of the simulation are analyzed and the best attitude estimator is selected according to the adopted performance metric.

Project description:Tracking the rheological properties of the drilling fluid is a key factor for the success of the drilling operation. The main objective of this paper is to relate the most frequent mud measurements (every 15 to 20 min) as mud weight (MWT) and Marsh funnel viscosity (MFV) to the less frequent mud rheological measurements (twice a day) as plastic viscosity (PV), yield point (YP), behavior index (n), and apparent viscosity (AV) for fully automating the process of retrieving rheological properties. The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was used to develop new models to determine the mud rheological properties using real field measurements of 741 data points. The data were collected from 99 different wells during drilling operations of 12 ¼ inches section. The ANFIS clustering technique was optimized by using training to a testing ratio of 80% to 20% as 591 data points for training and 150 points, cluster radius value of 0.1, and 200 epochs. The results of the prediction models showed a correlation coefficient (R) that exceeded 0.9 between the actual and predicted values with an average absolute percentage error (AAPE) below 5.7% for the training and testing data sets. ANFIS models will help to track in real-time the rheological properties for invert emulsion mud that allows better control for the drilling operation problems.

Project description:PurposeTo determine whether a machine learning technique called Kalman filtering (KF) can accurately forecast future values of mean deviation (MD), pattern standard deviation, and intraocular pressure for patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG).DesignDevelopment and testing of a forecasting model for glaucoma progression.MethodsWe parameterized and validated a KF (KF-NTG) to forecast MD, pattern standard deviation, and intraocular pressure at 24 months into the future using 263 eyes of 263 Japanese patients with NTG. We determined the proportion of patients with MD forecasts within 0.5, 1.0, and 2.5 dBs of the actual values and calculated the root mean squared error (RMSE) for each forecast. We compared KF-NTG with a previously published KF model calibrated using patients with high-tension open-angle glaucoma (KF-HTG) and to 3 conventional forecasting algorithms.ResultsThe 263 patients with NTG had mean ± standard deviation age of 63.4 ± 10.5 years. KF-NTG forecasted MD values 24 months ahead within 0.5, 1.0, and 2.5 dBs of the actual value for 78 eyes (32.2%), 122 eyes (50.4%), and 211 eyes (87.2%), respectively. The proportion of eyes with MD values forecasted within 2.5 dB of the actual value for the KF-NTG (87.2%) were similar to KF-HTG (86.0%) and the null model (86.4%), and much better than the 2 linear regression-based models (72.7-74.0%; P < .001). When forecasting MD, KF-NTG (RMSE = 2.71) and KF-HTG (RMSE = 2.68) achieved lower RMSE than the other 3 forecasting models (RMSE = 2.81-3.90), indicating better performance.ConclusionAs observed previously for patients with HTG, KF can also effectively forecast disease trajectory for many patients with NTG.

Project description:The Kalman filter provides a simple and efficient algorithm to compute the posterior distribution for state-space models where both the latent state and measurement models are linear and gaussian. Extensions to the Kalman filter, including the extended and unscented Kalman filters, incorporate linearizations for models where the observation model p(observation|state) is nonlinear. We argue that in many cases, a model for p(state|observation) proves both easier to learn and more accurate for latent state estimation. Approximating p(state|observation) as gaussian leads to a new filtering algorithm, the discriminative Kalman filter (DKF), which can perform well even when p(observation|state) is highly nonlinear and/or nongaussian. The approximation, motivated by the Bernstein-von Mises theorem, improves as the dimensionality of the observations increases. The DKF has computational complexity similar to the Kalman filter, allowing it in some cases to perform much faster than particle filters with similar precision, while better accounting for nonlinear and nongaussian observation models than Kalman-based extensions. When the observation model must be learned from training data prior to filtering, off-the-shelf nonlinear and nonparametric regression techniques can provide a gaussian model for p(observation|state) that cleanly integrates with the DKF. As part of the BrainGate2 clinical trial, we successfully implemented gaussian process regression with the DKF framework in a brain-computer interface to provide real-time, closed-loop cursor control to a person with a complete spinal cord injury. In this letter, we explore the theory underlying the DKF, exhibit some illustrative examples, and outline potential extensions.
