REALISE has for principal goals to extract from sequences of images, acquired with a moving camera, information necessary for determining the 3D (CAD-like) structure of a real-life scene together with information about the radiometric signatures of surfaces bounding the extracted 3D objects (e.g. reflectance behaviour). The retrieved information is then integrated in a Virtual Reality (VR) software environment. R&D work is been performed principally in the following areas of Computer Vision & Computer Graphics: structure from motion, recovery of geometries, recovery of photometric and texture information, highly realistic rendering on the basis of empirically-based reflectance models, design and development of improved rendering processes together with a new VR system. Beside this innovative R&D work another key aspect of REALISE is to have Computer Vision & Computer Graphics cooperate to produce realistic 3D data efficiently.

An architecture for the real time parallel processing of data coming from a 3-D PET is shown. Also if the adopted reconstruction algorithm is a well-known one, the originality of the paper consists of a suitable data management policy employed in order to allow a real-time parallel processing. Because both of the short time required for an I/O operation (at present 150 ns) and of the simplicity of the computations (parallel additions requiring computing time of the order of the address-encoding), the shown architecture can be added (by the interposition of a FIFO buffer) to an existing tomograph in order to obtain the real time 3-D PET data processing and the imagereconstruction.
The parallel chaotic iterative algorithms for imagereconstruction by method of asynchronous chaotic relaxation with delay using the Monte-Carlo method are proposed. These algorithms are some generalization of paralle...

Standing-wave fluorescence microscopy, a method which utilizes interference to create a periodic excitation pattern along the optical axis, has been shown to provide improved axial resolution in thin, fluorescently labeled specimens. In each plane of focus, a complete standing wave data set is obtained by acquiring an image at each of three distinct positions of the interference fringes. Thicker specimens require through-focus data consisting of three images per plane. In this report we describe the recovery of information from this data using 3D image processing. The effective optical transfer function (OTF) of the standing wave microscope consists of the conventional OTF and two sidebands which are copies of the conventional OTF shifted axially by the spatial frequency of the interference fringes. The large gaps between the central band and the sidebands lead to significant ringing in the 3D reconstruction if linear deconvolution methods are employed. The use of non-linear, constrained image processing techniques has been shown to allow accurate extrapolation outside the OTF band limit. We demonstrate the extent to which the sidebands enhance recovery of information in the gaps, and provide a comparison between deconvolution using inverse-filtering and maximum-likelihood estimation.

The reconstruction of an imagefromincomplete view data requires the use of several constraints not derived from ray sum (projection data) measurements. The constraints can be incorporated through the method of (sequential and parallel) projections onto the constraint sets. These methods for the use of information regarding the noise and the image are implemented and compared. It is shown that the use of noise statistics decreases the mean square error in the image and that the method of parallel projections results in smaller error than the method of sequential projections if a sufficient number of iterations is permitted.

We present a new variational approach to the problem of computed tomography reconstructionfrom sparse data. We use a Tikhonov regularisation (quite different from that of Louis [1985]) which deals without approximation with discrete or nonuniform grids. Our algorithm requires calculation of a Green's function on a finite region and we show how this can be done very efficiently computationally using the numerical/analytic boundary element method (BEM).

The problem of nonlinear distortions of images reconstructed fromincomplete and noisy spectrum data using nonlinear optimization methods such as maximum entropy method is considered. To decrease the level of nonlinear distortions it is proposed to seek solution in the space of complex functions using generalized maximum entropy method instead of classical one.

Two algorithms for two-dimensional convex shape reconstructionfrom noisy ray probe measurements are developed and compared. Given a coordinate system located within the object, the data consists of a finite set of angles together with the corresponding radial distances to the boundary corrupted by additive noise. We first characterize when such data is consistent with some convex shape. The algorithms estimate the target shape by finding the consistent set of probe measurements that is closest to the original noisy data. A direct formulation leads to a quadratic minimization problem with nonlinear constraints. By applying a simple transformation, an alternative algorithm is developed that trades off performance for computational simplicity as it requires quadratic minimization with linear constraints. Both algorithms are successfully applied to a variety of shapes with substantial noise.

We develop an algorithm to reconstruct the wavelet coefficients of an imagefrom the Radon transform data. The proposed method uses the properties of wavelets to localize the Radon transform and can be used to reconstruct a local region of the cross section of a body, using almost completely local data which significantly reduces the amount of exposure and computations in X-ray tomography. For example, for a local region of radius 20 pixels in a 256/spl times/256 image the proposed method can reduce the exposure to 12.5% of the conventional filtered backprojection method. Compared to the existing schemes, which can only reduce to 40%.

We propose a method for the parameter selection for a Bayesian reconstruction of 1D or 2D signals, constituted by locally homogeneous regions, fromincomplete and noisy projection data. A piecewise Gaussian Markov model (PG MM), defined as a sum of truncated quadratic potential functions, is used to regularise the reconstruction, which is otherwise ill-posed. This model is called the weak string in 1D and the weak membrane in 2D. The posterior energy is highly non-convex and the MAP estimator is piecewise continuous; the model parameters play a particularly decisive role. The resolution of the reconstruction-the finest recoverable features-is determined jointly by the parameters and the observation model. On the other hand, we propose a method for the determination of the parameters in order to reach, or at least to approach as closely as possible, a desired resolution. This model needs the evaluation of several posterior edge detection thresholds.
