Railway infrastructure monitoring is a vital task to ensure rail transportation safety. A rail failure could result in not only a considerable impact on train delays and maintenance costs, but also on safety of passengers. In this article, the aim is to assess the risk of a rail failure by analyzing a type of rail surface defect called squats that are detected automatically among the huge number of...
In this paper, we propose a deep convolutional neural network solution to the analysis of image data for the detection of rail surface defects. The images are obtained from many hours of automated video recordings. This huge amount of data makes it impossible to manually inspect the images and detect rail surface defects. Therefore, automated detection of rail defects can help to save time and costs,...
Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common cancer in the world. The most common surgical procedures for esophageal cancer are transhiatal esophagectomy and transthoracic esophagectomy. Thoracic esophagectomy involves an abdominal incision and a thoracotomy, but transhiatal esophagectomy involves both an abdominal incision and a cervical incision. It can reduce postoperative morbidities and fast recovery...
