A Bottom-Up Approach for Pancreas Segmentation Using Cascaded Superpixels and (Deep) Image Patch Labeling Abstract? Robust organ segmentation is a prerequisite for computer-aided diagnosis, quantitative imaging analysis, pathology detection, and surgical assistance. For organs with high anatomical variability (e.g., the pancreas), previous segmentation approaches report low accuracies, compared with well-studied organs, such as the liver…
A Capacitor Voltage-Balancing Method for Nested Neutral Point Clamped (NNPC) Inverter Abstract?A capacitor voltage-balancing method for a nested neutral point clamped (NNPC) inverter is proposed in this pa-per. The NNPC inverter is a newly developed four-level voltage-source inverter for medium-voltage applications with properties such as operating over a wide range of voltages (2.4?7.2 kV) with-out…
