Publication Metadata only Assistive Visual Tool: Enhancing Safe Navigation with Video Remapping in AR Headsets(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2025) Sadeghzadeh, Arezoo; Islam, Md Baharul; Uddin, Md Nur; Aydin, Tarkan; DelBue, A; Canton, C; Pont-Tuset, J; Tommasi, T; Bahcesehir University; State University System of Florida; Florida Gulf Coast UniversityVisual Field Loss (VFL) is characterized by blind spots or scotomas that poses detrimental impact on fundamental movement activities of individuals. Addressing the challenges (e.g., low video quality, content loss, high levels of contradiction, and limited mobility assessment) faced by existing Extended Reality (XR) systems as vision aids, we introduce a groundbreaking method that enriches the real-time navigation using Augmented Reality (AR) glasses. Our novel vision aid employs advanced video processing techniques to enhance visual perception in individuals with moderate to severe VFL, bridging the gap to healthy vision. A unique optimal video remapping function, tailored to our selected AR glasses characteristics, dynamically maps live video content to the largest intact region of the Visual Field (VF) map. Our method preserves video quality, minimizing blurriness and distortion. Through a comprehensive empirical user study involving 29 subjects with artificially induced scotomas, statistical analyses of object counting and multi-tasking walking track tests demonstrate the promising performance of our method in enhancing visual awareness and navigation capability in real-time.Publication Metadata only Machine Vision-Based Expert System for Automated Skin Cancer Detection(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2022) Junayed, Masum Shah; Jeny, Afsana Ahsan; Rada, Lavdie; Islam, Md Baharul; BritoLoeza, C; MartinGonzalez, A; CastanedaZeman, V; Safi, A; Bahcesehir University; Daffodil International UniversitySkin cancer is the most frequently occurring kind of cancer, accounting for about one-third of all cases. Automatic early detection without expert intervention for a visual inspection would be of great help for society. The image processing and machine learning methods have significantly contributed to medical and biomedical research, resulting in fast and exact inspection in different problems. One of such problems is accurate cancer detection and classification. In this study, we introduce an expert system based on image processing and machine learning for skin cancer detection and classification. The proposed approach consists of three significant steps: pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification. The pre-processing step uses the grayscale conversion, Gaussian filter, segmentation, and morphological operation to represent skin lesion images better. We employ two feature extractors, i.e., the ABCD scoring method (asymmetry, border, color, diameter) and gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), to extract cancer-affected areas. Finally, five different machine learning classifiers such as logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF) used to detect and classify skin cancer. Experimental results show that random forest exceeds all other classifiers achieving an accuracy of 97.62% and 0.97 Area Under Curve (AUC), which is state-of-the-art on the experimented open-source dataset PH2.Publication Metadata only Towards Stereoscopic Video Deblurring Using Deep Convolutional Networks(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2021) Imani, Hassan; Islam, Md Baharul; Bebis, G; Athitsos, V; Yan, T; Lau, M; Li, F; Shi, C; Yuan, X; Mousas, C; Bruder, G; Bahcesehir UniversityThese days stereoscopic cameras are commonly used in daily life, such as the new smartphones and emerging technologies. The quality of the stereo video can be affected by various factors (e.g., blur artifact due to camera/object motion). For solving this issue, several methods are proposed for monocular deblurring, and there are some limited proposed works for stereo content deblurring. This paper presents a novel stereoscopic video deblurring model considering the consecutive left and right video frames. To compensate for the motion in stereoscopic video, we feed consecutive frames from the previous and next frames to the 3D CNN networks, which can help for further deblurring. Also, our proposed model uses the stereoscopic other view information to help for deblurring. Specifically, to deblur the stereo frames, our model takes the left and right stereoscopic frames and some neighboring left and right frames as the inputs. Then, after compensation for the transformation between consecutive frames, a 3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is applied to the left and right batches of frames to extract their features. This model consists of the modified 3D U-Net networks. To aggregate the left and right features, the Parallax Attention Module (PAM) is modified to fuse the left and right features and create the output deblurred frames. The experimental results on the recently proposed Stereo Blur dataset show that the proposed method can effectively deblur the blurry stereoscopic videos.Publication Metadata only PoseTED: A Novel Regression-Based Technique for Recognizing Multiple Pose Instances(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2021) Jeny, Afsana Ahsan; Junayed, Masum Shah; Islam, Md Baharul; Bebis, G; Athitsos, V; Yan, T; Lau, M; Li, F; Shi, C; Yuan, X; Mousas, C; Bruder, G; Bahcesehir UniversityPose estimation for multiple people can be viewed as a hierarchical set predicting challenge. Algorithms are needed to classify all persons according to their physical components appropriately. Pose estimation methods are divided into two categories: (1) heatmap-based, (2) regression-based. Heatmap-based techniques are susceptible to various heuristic designs and are not end-to-end trainable, while regression-based methods involve fewer intermediary non-differentiable stages. This paper presents a novel regression-based multi-instance human pose recognition network called PoseTED. It utilizes the well-known object detector YOLOv4 for person detection, and the spatial transformer network (STN) used as a cropping filter. After that, we used a CNN-based backbone that extracts deep features and positional encoding with an encoder-decoder transformer applied for keypoint detection, solving the heuristic design problem before regression-based techniques and increasing overall performance. A prediction-based feed-forward network (FFN) is used to predict several key locations' posture as a group and display the body components as an output. Two available public datasets are tested in this experiment. Experimental results are shown on the COCO andMPII datasets, with an average precision (AP) of 73.7% on the COCO val. dataset, 72.7% on the COCO test dev. dataset, and 89.7% on the MPII datasets, respectively. These results are comparable to the state-of-the-art methods.
