We present a GPU-based beam-casting method for rendering implicit surfaces in real time with antialiasing. We use interval arithmetic to model the beams and to detect their intersections with the surface. We show how beams can be used to quickly discard large empty regions in the image, thus leading to a fast adaptive subdivision method.

This paper presents a novel colon fold contour estimation technique, a crucial step toward fully-automated reconstruction of a 3D colon segment from an image captured from colonoscopy for automated labeling of unseen mucosa areas (where polyps or abnormal lesions may reside) during colonoscopy. The endoscopist can then manipulate the endoscope to inspect these unseen areas. The proposed technique estimates colon fold contours taking advantage of both computergraphics and imageprocessing. The algorithm detects edges of the colon folds, filters noise edges, pairs edges from the same colon fold, and finally completes the contours. The completed colon fold contours and pixel properties around the contours are used to reconstruct a 3D virtual colon segment. We evaluate recall and precision of the algorithm and similarity between algorithm estimated fold contours and manually drawn fold contours.

In this paper we present a method for the calibration of multiple cameras based on the extraction and use of the physical characteristics of a one-dimensional invariant pattern which is defined by four collinear markers. The advantages of this kind of pattern stand out in two key steps of the calibration process. In the initial step of camera calibration methods, related to sample points capture, the proposed method takes advantage of using a new technique for the capture and recognition of a robust sample of projective invariant patterns, which allows to capture simultaneously more than one invariant pattern in the tracking area and recognize each pattern individually as well as each marker that composes them. This process is executed in real time while capturing our sample of calibration points in the cameras of our system. This new feature allows to capture a more numerous and robust set of sample points than other patterns used for multi-camera calibration methods. In the last step of the calibration process, related to camera parameters' optimization, we explore the collinearity feature of the invariant pattern and add this feature in the camera parameters optimization model. This approach obtains better results in the computation of camera parameters. We present the results obtained with the calibration of two multi-camera systems using the proposed method and compare them with other methods from the literature. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper presents some more advanced topics in imageprocessing and computer vision, such as Principal Components Analysis, Matching Techniques, Machine Learning Techniques, Tracking and Optical Flow and Parallel computer Vision using CUDA. These concepts will be presented using the open CV library, which is a free computer vision library for C/C++ programmers available for Windows, Linux Mac OS and Android platforms. These topics will be covered considering not only theoretical aspects but practical examples will be presented in order to understand how and when to use each of them.

In this paper, we present a simple and fast inverse half toning algorithm, targeted at reconstructing half toned images generated using dispersed-dot ordered dithering algorithms. The proposed algorithm uses a simple set of linear filters combined with a stochastic model in order to predict the best intensity values for the binary image pixels. The algorithm produces images with a better perceptual quality than the available algorithms in the literature, preserving most of the fine details of the original gray-level image. It has a high performance, which can be further improved with the use of parallelization techniques.

A fast method is proposed for DTI neural tract extraction and visualization. Existing efficient tract extraction approaches are based on localizing fibers from a pre-computed whole brain tractography. However, the tracking parameters of pre-computed fibers cannot be easily adjusted quickly. Moreover, high noise in the estimated orientation around crossing and neighboring tracts often diverts fibers away from desired pathways. Therefore, insufficient numbers of localized fibers decreases the quality of the tract visualization and also makes surface reconstruction difficult. Our method constructs a tract surface by considering tensor orientation along and around a single or double-seeded streamline and quickly expands it to a parametric surface. A noise reduction surface filter is applied to the parametric surface to provide a smooth surface rendering. Our method is particularly useful in areas of dense tracts such as the brainstem.

Increasing demands in world-wide energy consumption and oil depletion of large reservoirs have resulted in the need for exploring smaller and more complex oil reservoirs. Planning of the reservoir valorization usually starts with creating a model of the subsurface structures, including seismic faults and horizons. However, seismic interpretation and horizon tracing is a difficult and error-prone task, often resulting in hours of work needing to be manually repeated. In this paper, we propose a novel, interactive workflow for horizon interpretation based on well positions, which include additional geological and geophysical data captured by actual drillings. Instead of interpreting the volume slice-by-slice in 2D, we propose 3D seismic interpretation based on well positions. We introduce a combination of 2D and 3D minimal cost path and minimal cost surface tracing for extracting horizons with very little user input. By processing the volume based on well positions rather than slice-based, we are able to create a piecewise optimal horizon surface at interactive rates. We have integrated our system into a visual analysis platform which supports multiple linked views for fast verification, exploration and analysis of the extracted horizons. The system is currently being evaluated by our collaborating domain experts.
