This is the third post describing a computer vision project I worked on at SAS to identify liver tumors in CT scans. In my previous post I talked about testing different models and hyperparameters for the models. Today, I’ll talk about data processing for image data. If you need to
This is the second post in my series about a computer vision project I worked on at SAS. In my previous post, I talked about my initial research and excitement for the project. In this post, I’ll talk about how I refined my goals and got started with the project
Recently, I was given an amazing opportunity to work on a project in biomedical image analytics in collaboration with a large university medical center. The goal of the project was to develop a computer vision system that identifies tumors in CT scans of livers. I have always loved applying technology
Whether you’re applying for your first credit card or shopping for a second home – or anywhere in between – you’ll probably encounter an application process. As part of that process, banks and other lenders use a scorecard to determine your likelihood to pay off that loan. Naturally, this means
What is object detection? Object detection, a subset of computer vision, is an automated method for locating interesting objects in an image with respect to the background. For example, Figure 1 shows two images with objects in the foreground. There is a bird in the left image, while there is a dog
What’s the most important component of analytic analysis? The data? The model? The deployment? Getting the business problem right? All the above? Or does it simply depend on who you ask? While the model gets all the attention, and the data requires most of the effort, there is that step
