• Abstract: In order to improve the detection and classification of malignant melanoma, this paper describes an image-based method that can achieve AUROC values of up to 0.78 without additional clinical information. Furthermore, the importance of the domain gap between two different image sources is considered, as it is important to create usability independent of hardware components such as the high-resolution scanner used. Since for the application of machine learning methods, alterations of scanner-specific properties such as brightness, contrast or sharpness can have strong (negative) effects on the quality of the prediction methods, two ways to overcome this domain gap are discussed in this paper.

• Explainable Image Quality Assessment for Medical Imaging [0.0]
  Poor-quality medical images may lead to misdiagnosis. We propose an explainable image quality assessment system and validate our idea on two different objectives. We apply a variety of techniques to measure the faithfulness of the saliency detectors. We show that NormGrad has significant gains over other saliency detectors by reaching a repeated Pointing Game score of 0.853 for Object-CXR and 0.611 for LVOT datasets.

• Residual Networks based Distortion Classification and Ranking for Laparoscopic Image Quality Assessment [12.374294852377382]
  Laparoscopic images and videos are often affected by different types of distortion like noise, smoke, blur and nonuniform illumination. We propose in this paper to formulate the image quality assessment task as a multi-label classification problem taking into account both the type as well as the severity level (or rank) of distortions. The obtained results on a laparoscopic image dataset show the efficiency of the proposed approach.

We show that by training the models on higher resolution images and by improving the quality of the reconstructions, we obtain results which are comparable with different baselines.
