Dual-head flat-panel positron emission tomography (PET) is the dedicated system for small-animal imaging because of its high spatial resolution and detection sensitivity. Unlike the conventional ring-based PET system, the dual-head system is versatile and can be reconfigured readily to accommodate different sample sizes and/or to achieve an optimal system performance. However, the unique imaging geometry also leads to severe depth-of-interaction (DOl) blurring. Monte Carlo simulation has been employed to account for DOl effects in the system response matrix with high accuracy, but the long simulation times make routine search for an optimal configuration impractical. To facilitate the system optimization while considering the parallax error, we employ an efficient numerical method to model the DOl effect in the system matrix for image reconstruction and accelerate the computation with the graphicsprocessing units (GPUs). Among the system response matrices corresponding to different geometric configurations, a favorable one can be selected by exploiting the statistical detection theory. computer simulation studies were carried out to validate and quantitatively evaluate the proposed method.
This paper proposes a new methodology for micro pattern analysis in digital images based on fuzzy numbers. A micro-pattern is the structure of the gray-level pixels within a neighborhood and can describe the spatial c...

Saliency detection is an important step in imageprocessing on computer, which has been widely used in network graphics, fingerprint recognition and other fields. The method of saliency detection based on structural similarity theory uses the structural similarity to abstract high-level human visual system, measuring the saliency of images through a new Center-Surround operator. It overcomes the mosaic phenomenon of Itti algorithm caused by near interpolation. However, the computational overhead is very large as each pixel needs to be processed. In this paper, we adopt GPU to accelerate this algorithm, which speeds up over 90X compared with original method running on CPU. To the best of our knowledge, the approach we proposed that using GPU to accelerate the saliency detection algorithm is the first one in the field of imageprocessing.
