    Regression Via Classification for Fingerprint Orientation Estimation
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2024) Erdogmus, Nesli
    Estimating the direction in which the ridges and valleys of the fingerprint pattern are aligned often serves as a pivotal first step in fingerprint recognition systems. The ridge orientation map is a fundamental reference for subsequent processing stages, such as image enhancement, feature extraction, and matching. Therefore, its accuracy is essential to achieve high recognition rates. Ridge orientation estimation entails a regression problem since the task is to estimate an angle between 0 degrees and 180 degrees for each sub-region in the fingerprint image. However, the majority of the approaches in the literature pivot towards framing this regression task as a classification problem. This paper systematically analyzes the regression via classification methodology for fingerprint orientation estimation, exploring various discretization and encoding strategies. Specifically, we examine single and multiple discretization schemes designed to ensure that resulting bins maintain uniform length or uniform probability or are allocated randomly, paired with one-hot, ordinal, and cyclic encoding techniques. Our experiments are conducted on the FOE-TEST database from FVC-onGoing, the sole publicly available fingerprint orientation dataset. The findings highlight the efficacy of cyclic encoding over the one-hot encoding prevalent in prior research, while equal-length and equal-probability discretization strategies yield comparable results.

    Automated Analysis of Phase-Contrast Optical Microscopy Time-Lapse Images: Application To Wound Healing and Cell Motility Assays of Breast Cancer
    (Elsevier, 2023) Erdem, Yusuf Sait; Ayanzadeh, Aydın; Mayalı, Berkay; Balıkçı, Muhammed; Belli, Özge Nur; Uçar, Mahmut; Yalçın Özuysal, Özden; Pesen Okvur, Devrim; Önal, Sevgi; Morani, Kenan; Iheme, Leonardo Obinna; Töreyin, Behçet Uğur
    This chapter describes a workflow for analyzing phase-contrast microscopy (PCM) data from two fundamental types of biomedical assays: assays for cell motility and assays for wound healing. The workflow of the analysis is composed of the methods for acquiring, restoring, segmenting, and quantifying biomedical data. In the literature, there have been separate methods aimed at specific stages of PCM data analysis. Nonetheless, there has never been a complete workflow for all stages of analysis. This work is an innovation that proposes an end-to-end workflow for image pre-processing, deep learning segmentation, tracking, and quantification stages in cell motility and wound healing assay analyses. The findings indicate that domain knowledge can be used to make simple but significant improvements to the results of cutting-edge methods. Furthermore, even for deep learning-based methods, pre-processing is clearly a necessary step in the workflow. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
