Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFragment-based Visual Tracking with Multiple RepresentationsJunqiu Wang, Yasushi YagiWe present a fragment-based tracking algorithm that considers appearance information characterized by a non-parametric distribution and spatial information described by a parametric representation. We segment an input object into several fragments based on the appearance similarity and spatial distribution. Spatial distribution and appearance are important for distinguishing different fragments. We employee such information for separating an object from its background: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 5 Jan 2016 · 7,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMedFusion: A Unified Multimodal Framework for Visual Question Answering and Explainable Medical RecommendationSatyajit Mahapatra, Jibitesh Mishra, Kumar Janardan Patra et al.In clinical decision-making, the ability to ask visual questions about medical images and receive accurate, personalized, and interpretable recommendations can significantly enhance practitioner support systems. This paper presents MedFusion, a unified multimodal framework that integrates Visual Question Answering (VQA), personalized medical recommendation, and explainability within a single architecture. The proposed model employs co-attention–based visual–textual fusion augmented with retrieval-enhanced reasoning to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 5 · 20 May 2026 · 1,360 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExplainable MedAttn-ResNet50 for Automated Kidney Tumor Classification from CT Images With Grad-CAM VisualizationD. Vetrithangam, Pramod Kumar, Shilpasree S. et al.Kidney tumor classification from CT imaging remains challenging due to CT-specific intensity variations, tumor heterogeneity, and limited clinically meaningful interpretability in existing deep learning models. To address these limitations, we propose an Explainable MedAttn-ResNet50 framework that integrates radiology-driven preprocessing, multi-scale feature extraction, and medical attention mechanisms within a unified architecture. The preprocessing pipeline applies radiology-inspired intensity normalization, contrast enhancement, and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 13 Aug 2026 · 1,120 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVisual Tracking using Invariant Feature DescriptorLee-Yeng Ong, Siong-Hoe Lau, Voon-Chet KooThe process of identifying the state of an object in a video sequence is referred as visual tracking. It is mainly achieved by using the appearance information from a reference image to recognize the similar characteristics from the other images. Since a digital image is built-up with rows and columns of pixels that are represented with finite set of digital … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 9 · 21 Sep 2017 · 7,715 accessesView PDFCite
