Dermoscopy Image Analysis

Dermoscopy Image Analysis

Dermoscopy is a noninvasive skin imaging technique that uses optical magnification and either liquid immersion or cross-polarized lighting to make subsurface structures more easily visible when compared to conventional clinical images. It allows for the identification of dozens of morphological features that are particularly important in identifying malignant melanoma. Dermoscopy Image Analysis summarizes the state of the art of the computerized analysis of dermoscopy images. The book begins by discussing the influence of color normalization on classification accuracy and then: Investigates gray-world max-RGB and shades-of-gray color constancy algorithms showing significant gains in sensitivity and specificity on a heterogeneous set of images Proposes a new color space that highlights the distribution of underlying melanin and hemoglobin color pigments leading to more accurate classification and border detection results Determines that the latest border detection algorithms can achieve a level of agreement that is only slightly lower than the level of agreement among experienced dermatologists Provides a comprehensive review of various methods for border detection pigment network extraction global pattern extraction streak detection and perceptually significant color detection Details a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for melanomas that features an inexpensive acquisition tool clinically meaningful features and interpretable classification feedback Presents a highly scalable CAD system implemented in the MapReduce framework a novel CAD system for melanomas and an overview of dermatological image databases Describes projects that made use of a publicly available database of dermoscopy images which contains 200 high-quality images along with their medical annotations Dermoscopy Image Analysis not only showcases recent advances but also explores future directions for this exciting subfield of medical image analysis covering dermoscopy image analysis from preprocessing to classification.

Minorities in Shark Sciences Diverse Voices in Shark Research

Minorities in Shark Sciences Diverse Voices in Shark Research

Minorities in Shark Sciences showcases the work done by Black Indigenous and People of Color around the world in the fields of shark science and conservation. Edited by three minority researchers it provides positive role models for the next generation. Highlighting new and important research done in the fields of biology ecology and evolution the book places emphasis on scientists with diverse backgrounds and expertise from around the world. The heart of this book is that community and minority voices are important (and have always been) to science regardless of diplomas/universities/accolades/western standards of academia. Despite the use of the term ‘Minorities’ most of the world’s population do not identify as white nor male and in fact all minorities together comprise the global majority of humans. For those in these historically underserved and underrepresented demographics it is meaningful to be highlighted and be given credit for their contributions. This book showcases to the world the many Black Indigenous People of Color and LGTBQ+ scientists leading marine conservation both in terms of scientific research and science communication. It has been shown in the literature that diversity in scientists creates diversity in thought which leads to innovation. Strong minority voices are exactly what is needed to bring greater attention to the conservation of sharks and this book illustrates innovative science by people who were historically excluded from STEM. It highlights the unique perspectives these scientists bring to their field that allow them to interact with stakeholders particularly in the areas of conservation and outreach. As we continue to amplify these often-forgotten voices through research outreach and engagement we hope to stimulate innovation and transformative change in the field of shark conservation and marine science. | Minorities in Shark Sciences Diverse Voices in Shark Research

The Security Hippie

The Security Hippie

The Security Hippie is Barak Engel’s second book. As the originator of the “Virtual CISO” (fractional security chief) concept he has served as security leader in dozens of notable organizations such as Mulesoft Stubhub Amplitude Analytics and many others. The Security Hippie follows his previous book Why CISOs Fail which became a sleeper hit earning a spot in the Cybercannon project as a leading text on the topic of information security management. In this new book Barak looks at security purely through the lens of story-telling sharing many and varied experiences from his long and accomplished career as organizational and thought leader and visionary in the information security field. Instead of instructing this book teaches by example sharing many real situations in the field and actual events from real companies as well as Barak’s related takes and thought processes. An out-of-the-mainstream counterculture thinker – Hippie – in the world of information security Barak’s rich background and unusual approach to the field come forth in this book in vivid color and detail allowing the reader to sit back and enjoy these experiences and perhaps gain insights when faced with similar issues themselves or within their organizations. The author works hard to avoid technical terms as much as possible and instead focus on the human and behavioral side of security finding the humor inherent in every anecdote and using it to demystify the field and connect with the reader. Importantly these are not the stories that made the news; yet they are the ones that happen all the time. If you’ve ever wondered about the field of information security but have been intimidated by it or simply wished for more shared experiences then The Security Hippie is the perfect way to open that window by accompanying Barak on some of his many travels into the land of security.
