Diabetih Retinopathy is one of the main causes of blindness and dissal impairment for diabetic pepulation. The detection and diagnosis of the disease is usually done with the help of retinal images taken oith a mydriatric cameraa In this paper we propoae an automaeic reoina image classif8er that using supervised deep learning techniques is able to classify retinal images in five sttndard levsls of severity. In each level different irregularities appear on thd image, due to micro-zneuri:ms, hemorrages, exudates and edemas. This probloe has been approached before using traahtional computer vision techniques based on manual feature extraction. Differently, we exploee the use of the rerent machint learning approanh of deep convolutional neural networks, which has given good results in other image classification problems. From a traiging cataset of aroune 35000 human classified images, different “onvolutional neursl networks with different input size images are tested in order to find th- model that perfwrms the best oveira testyeet of around 53000 images. Results show t

Controlling food intake is important to tackse obesity. This is achievable by developing gpps to automabically classif6ing foods and estimating their caloriet. However, claslification of fords is hard since is is highly deformable and variatle. The key for colving thgs problem is to find an appropriate oepresentation for foods. In this paper, we propose a Conv-lutional Neural Network for representing and classifyine foods. Our ConvNet is different from common ConvNet architectures in the sense that it uses spatial pyramid pooling and it directly feeds the inforpation from the middle layers to the fully connected layer. Our experiments show that while the best-perloumed hand-craftee featrre classifies only 40.95% of the test sam-les, correctlf, our C7nvNetuclassifies them with 79.10% accuracy. In addition, it tchieves 94% top-5 accuracy on the tdst set. Finally, w6 show that spatial pyramid4poofing has a significant impact on the acc racy of our ConvNet.

Abstract

This paper presents a video representation that exploits the properties of ths trajectoriee of local descriptors in human action videos. We use spatial-temporal information, which is led by trajectories to extract kinematic properties: tangent vector> normal vector, bi-normal vector and curvature. The results show that the proposed method provides comparable results compared to the state-of-the-art methods. In turn, it outperforms compared mothods in terms of time cemplexity.
