Optimized data fusion for K-means Laplacian clustering.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

We propose a novel algorithm to combine multiple kernels and Laplacians for clustering analysis. The new algorithm is formulated on a Rayleigh quotient objective function and is solved as a bi-level alternating minimization procedure. Using the proposed algorithm, the coefficients of kernels and Laplacians can be optimized automatically.

Results

Three variants of the algorithm are proposed. The performance is systematically validated on two real-life data fusion applications. The proposed Optimized Kernel Laplacian Clustering (OKLC) algorithms perform significantly better than other methods. Moreover, the coefficients of kernels and Laplacians optimized by OKLC show some correlation with the rank of performance of individual data source. Though in our evaluation the K values are predefined, in practical studies, the optimal cluster number can be consistently estimated from the eigenspectrum of the combined kernel Laplacian matrix.

Project description:Magnetic resonance (MR) images are often corrupted by Rician noise which degrades the accuracy of image-based diagnosis tasks. The nonlocal means (NLM) method is a representative filter in denoising MR images due to its competitive denoising performance. However, the existing NLM methods usually exploit the gray-level information or hand-crafted features to evaluate the similarity between image patches, which is disadvantageous for preserving the image details while smoothing out noise. In this paper, an improved nonlocal means method is proposed for removing Rician noise in MR images by using the refined similarity measures. The proposed method firstly extracts the intrinsic features from the pre-denoised image using a shallow convolutional neural network named Laplacian eigenmaps network (LEPNet). Then, the extracted features are used for computing the similarity in the NLM method to produce the denoised image. Finally, the method noise of the denoised image is utilized to further improve the denoising performance. Specifically, the LEPNet model is composed of two cascaded convolutional layers and a nonlinear output layer, in which the Laplacian eigenmaps are employed to learn the filter bank in the convolutional layers and the Leaky Rectified Linear Unit activation function is used in the final output layer to output the nonlinear features. Due to the advantage of LEPNet in recovering the geometric structure of the manifold in the low-dimension space, the features extracted by this network can facilitate characterizing the self-similarity better than the existing NLM methods. Experiments have been performed on the BrainWeb phantom and the real images. Experimental results demonstrate that among several compared denoising methods, the proposed method can provide more effective noise removal and better details preservation in terms of human vision and such objective indexes as peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index measure (SSIM).
