We present a method to interactively visualize large industrial models by replacing most triangles with implicit CPU primitives: cylinders;cone and torus slices. After a reverse-engineering process that recovers these primitives from triangle meshes;we encode their implicit parameters in a texture that is sent to the CPU. In rendering tune, the implicit primitives are visualized seamlessly with other triangles in the scene. the method was tested on two massive industrial models, achieving better performance and image quality while reducing memory use.

In many DSP applications (image and voice processing, baseband symbol decoding in high quality communication channels) several dBs of SNR loss can be tolerated without noticeable impact on system level performance. For power optimization in such applications, voltage overscaling can be used to operate the arithmetic circuitry slower than the critical circuit path delay while incurring tolerable SNR loss due to the resulting periodic errors in computation. In this paper, the use of checksum codes along with low precision shadow latches for compensating errors induced by voltage overscaling in digital filters is investigated. A PID controller is used for voltage overscaling while keeping the error rate in the system within acceptable range. It is shown that significant power savings can be achieved by the proposed technique.

the identification and classification of motion patterns in point trajectories has been an important issue in understanding and representing dynamic scenes. this paper proposes an unsupervised approach to identify coherent motion in video. Instead of producing a spatio-temporal segmentation of the raw data, the proposed method analyzes point trajectories along the video sequence to identify sets of points that move coherently. this new way of extracting motion information from videos potentially can be used in different areas of imageprocessing and computer vision.

Medical image registration is a difficult problem. Not only a registration algorithm needs to capture both large and small scale image deformations, it also has to deal with global and local image intensity variations. In this paper we describe a new multiresolution elastic image registration method that challenges these difficulties in image registration. To capture large and small scale image deformations, we use both global and local affine transformation algorithms. To address global and local image intensity variations, we apply an image intensity standardization algorithm to correct image intensity variations. this transforms image intensities into a standard intensity scale, which allows highly accurate registration of medical images.

this paper proposes a new Tensorial Representation of HSI color images, where each pixel is a 2 X 2 second order tensor, that can be represented by an ellipse. A proposed tensorial morphological gradient (TMG) is defined as the maximum dissimilarity over the neighborhood determined by a structuring element, and is used in the watershed segmentation framework. Many tensor dissimilarity functions are tested and other color gradients are compared. the comparison uses a new methodology for qualitative evaluation of color image segmentation by watershed, where the watershed lines of the n most significant regions are overlaid on the original image for visual comparison. Experiments show that the TMG using Frobenius norm dissimilarity function presents superior segmentation results, in comparison to other tested gradients.

Optical microscopic images, especially with a nonconfocal microscope, are fundamentally limited because the optical transfer function (the Fourier transform of the point-spread function) is zero over a region of the spatial-frequency domain. Iterative algorithms were developed for the restoration and extrapolation of diffraction-limited imagery. In this paper we present the effectiveness of an iterative method based on the Richardson-Lucy algorithm for image restoration and a simultaneous modified version of Gerchberg-Papoulis method to extrapolate the spectrum and control the noise amplification. Good convergence stabilization results were achieved and also good numerical results were observed.

this paper proposes a new rotation-invariant and scale-invariant representation for texture image retrieval based on Steerable Pyramid Decomposition. By calculating the mean and standard deviation of decomposed image subbands, the texture feature vectors are extracted. To obtain rotation or scale invariance, the feature elements are aligned by considering either the dominant orientation or dominant scale of the input textures. Experiments were conducted on the Brodatz database aiming to compare our approach to the conventional Steerable Pyramid Decomposition, and a recent proposal for texture characterization based on Gabor Wavelets with regard to their retrieval effectiveness. Results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in rotated and scaled image datasets.

Stack filters are a special case of non-linear filters. they have a good performance for filtering images with different types of noise while preserving edges and details. A stack filter decomposes an input image into several binary images according to a set of thresholds. Each binary image is filtered by a Boolean function. the Boolean function that characterizes an adaptive stack filter is optimal and is computed from a pair of images consisting of an ideal noiseless image and its noisy version. In this work the behavior of adaptive stack filters is evaluated for the classification of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images, which are affected by speckle noise. Withthis aim it was carried out experiment in which simulated and real images are generated and then filtered with a stack filter trained with one of them. the results of their Maximum Likelihood classification are evaluated and then are compared withthe results of classifying the images without previous filtering.
