Medical Sign Recognition of Lung Nodules Based on Image Retrieval with Semantic Features and Supervised Hashing

Sign recognition is important for identifying benign and malignant nodules. This paper proposes a new sign recognition method based on image retrieval for lung nodules. First, we construct a deep learning framework to extract semantic features that can effectively represent sign information. Second, we translate the high-dimensional image features into compact binary codes with principal component analysis （PCA） and supervised hashing. Third, we retrieve similar lung nodule images with the presented adaptive-weighted similarity calculation method. Finally, we recognize nodule signs from the retrieval results, which can also provide decision support for diagnosis of lung lesions. The proposed method is validated on the publicly available databases： lung image database consortium and image database resource initiative （LIDC-IDRI） and lung computed tomography （CT） imaging signs （LISS）. The experimental results demonstrate our retrieval method substantially improves retrieval performance compared with those using traditional Hamming distance, and the retrieval precision can achieve 87.29%when the length of hash code is 48 bits. The entire recognition rate on the basis of the retrieval results can achieve 93.52%. Moreover, our method is also effective for real-life diagnosis data.

Secure Content Based Image Retrieval Scheme Based on Deep Hashing and Searchable Encryption

To solve the problem that the existing ciphertext domain image retrieval system is challenging to balance security,retrieval efficiency,and retrieval accuracy.This research suggests a searchable encryption and deep hashing-based secure image retrieval technique that extracts more expressive image features and constructs a secure,searchable encryption scheme.First,a deep learning framework based on residual network and transfer learn-ing model is designed to extract more representative image deep features.Secondly,the central similarity is used to quantify and construct the deep hash sequence of features.The Paillier homomorphic encryption encrypts the deep hash sequence to build a high-security and low-complexity searchable index.Finally,according to the additive homomorphic property of Paillier homomorphic encryption,a similarity measurement method suitable for com-puting in the retrieval system’s security is ensured by the encrypted domain.The experimental results,which were obtained on Web Image Database from the National University of Singapore(NUS-WIDE),Microsoft Common Objects in Context(MS COCO),and ImageNet data sets,demonstrate the system’s robust security and precise retrieval,the proposed scheme can achieve efficient image retrieval without revealing user privacy.The retrieval accuracy is improved by at least 37%compared to traditional hashing schemes.At the same time,the retrieval time is saved by at least 9.7%compared to the latest deep hashing schemes.
