X-ray image segmentation is an important issue in medical image analysis. Due to inconsistent X-ray absorption, the intensities are usually unevenly distributed and noisy in the processed organ, thus the object segmentation becomes difficult. In this paper we propose a new segmentation method for patella from the lateral knee X-ray images based on the active shape model (ASM). At first, a patella...
In this paper, we present a fully automatic system for face recognition based on a silhouette of the face profile. Previous research has demonstrated the high discriminative potential of this biometric. However, for the successful employment of this characteristic one is confronted with many challenges, such as the sensitivity of a profile's geometry to face rotation and the difficulty of accurate...
Vehicles are indispensable in modern life. The capability of monitoring them over a long range can play significant roles in many surveillance applications. However, due to high mobility of vehicles, tracking them is difficult and we need to utilize a large network of cameras and reason on discrete sets of observations made from non-overlapping cameras. In this paper, we introduce enabling techniques...
The virtual product data model in its different stages is an essential prerequisite for the virtual modeling of processes and their virtual simulation. Product design starts with conceptual design including the concepts for the future productpsilas shape and function - the gestalt. In this stage, the designers work on fuzzy product data interpreted in so-called scribbles and applied to perception...
An improved generalized gradient vector force for active contour model, named IGGVF is presented in this paper. For the diffusion of GGVF force field virtually depends on Laplace operation and it can be decomposed in the tangent and normal directions and the diffusion in the normal direction plays the major role while the tangent direction has little effect. So the tangent component can be thrown...
