We present a computational approach to support gestational age determination of premature newborns. this knowledge is fundamental to guide postnatal treatment and increase survival chances. However, current approaches are both invasive and do not generate precise results. this paper presents an original and non-invasive method to determine the gestational age based on information supplied by plantar surface images. these images present many details and patterns but to date have not received attention from the imageprocessing community. We provide a computational tool with suitable facilities to allow the image analysis, either automatically or user-driven. Besides its importance to Neonatology, this work represents a contribution of computervision concepts to Medical Imaging. the experimental results confirm the relationship between the plantar surface features and newborn gestational age.

image segmentation is a fundamental problem in the fields of imageprocessing and computervision with numerous applications. In this paper, an integral equation model applied in image segmentation will be addressed. We discuss the links between Mumford-Shah's (M-S energy) and image segmentation. We shall develop a feasible algorithm for the variational problem. in dimension one and then extend it to dimension two (image). A few experimental results in dimension one and two will be displayed.

In this paper, an innovative algorithm for object segmentation and contour extraction algorithm is proposed, where the active contour evolution based on Mumford-Shah model is performed on coarse-to-fine approach spanned by wavelet. transform. the multilevel active contour model consists of three, main parts: 1) wavelet : decomposition for obtaining Multi-scale image;2) in the top-level image wavelet-based edge detection to get an initial evolving, contour (initialization procedure);3) evolving contour based on Mumford-Shah model in each level, from top level to down level. the experiments and analysis demonstrate that the whole calculation on multi-objects contour extraction can be greatly decreased by the benefit of coarse-to-fine strategy and ideal noise resistance ability can also be expected in this algorithm.

In this paper we consider the analysis of thousands of unorganized, low resolution images of an object. With very low resolution images, standard computervision techniques of finding corresponding points and solving for image warping parameters or 3D geometry may fail. Two recent techniques in statistical pattern recognition, locally linear embedding (LLE) and Isomap, give a mechanism for finding the structure underlying point sets for which comparisons or distances are only meaningful between nearby points. We explore these methods to simultaneously compute camera position and object pose for thousands of images using nothing but a global similarity measure between images.

We report here on the problem of estimating a smooth planar curve(a) gamma : [0,T] --> R-2 and its derivatives from an ordered sample of interpolation points {gamma(t(0)),gamma(t(1)),..., gamma(t(i-1)), gamma(t(i)),..., gamma(t(m-1)), gamma(t(m))}, where 0 = t(0) < t(1) <... < t(i-1) < t(i) <... < t(m-i) < t(m) = T, and the ti are not known precisely for 0 < i < m. Such situtation may appear while searching for the boundaries of planar objects or tracking the mass center of a rigid body with no times available. In this paper we assume that the distribution of ti coincides with more-or-less uniform sampling. A fast algorithm, yielding quartic convergence rate based on 4-point piecewise-quadratic interpolation is analysed and tested. Our algorithm forms a substantial improvement (with respect to the speed of convergence) of piecewise 3-point quadratic Lagrange intepolation [19] and [20]. Some related work can be found in [7]. Our results may be of interest in computervision and digital imageprocessing [5], [8], [13], [141, [17] or [24], computergraphics [1], [4], [9], [10], [21] or [23], approximation and complexity theory [3], [6], [16], [22], [26] or [27], and digital and computational geometry [2] and [15].

An approach for superquadric-based reconstruction from 2D images is developed, which computes and reconstructs the parametric models of the VE objects from the 2D images of the counterpart real objects. the superquadric-based hierarchical description as the universal parametric description of the 3D objects is proposed. On one hand, according to the complexity of the real objects, the superquadric curves and their deformations are implemented to fit the contour data of projection images, and the superquadric-based shape descriptions of the real objects are obtained according to the spherical product of superquadrics. On the other hand, the actual size and position are calculated by using epipolar technique for vision reconstruction from multiple uncalibrated images. Combining the two sets of parametric data, the whole superquadric-based descriptions of the real objects are obtained.

this paper shows a method for speeding up the ray-traversal process of volume viewing. the algorithm acceleration is achieved by skipping empty regions defined for each background voxel of the volume in pre-processing step. Background voxels are labeled by a value, which is equal to the voxel distance to the nearest foreground voxel. the algorithm starts by backward traverse of the volume to find an existing point of the foreground and follows by forward traverse of the volume from an entry point of volume until it meets the existing point. this method enables a faster ray-traversal time than traditional distance transforms.

the tomographic process is quite a novel tool for the 3D image reconstruction. In a reconstruction process, a sequence of photographic images is first captured around an object of interest. Filtered backprojection is repeatedly performed on each row in the digitized images, yielding a stack of cross-sectional images. For better visualization, a surface-rendering technique and a lighting model are implemented on the voxels of the cross-sectional images to obtain a 3D shape that resembles the original object. this method has advantages over conventional 3D image reconstruction methods in that it never has to solve a complicated correspondence problem, and only simple equipment is required for gathering data from the object. Various objects have been tested. the only unresolved problem is that the method fails to reconstruct highly concave-shaped objects. We also include a solution for a ring-like shape of the cross-sectional images problem.
