A small-animal x-ray micro computed tomography (micro-CT) system has been constructed to screen laboratory small animals and organs. The micro-CT system consists of dual fiber-optic taper-coupled CCD detectors with a field-of-view of 25 x 50 mm(2), a microfocus x-ray source, a rotational subject holder. For accurate localization of rotation center, coincidence between the axis of rotation and centre of image was studied by calibration with a polymethylmethacrylate cylinder. Feldkamp's filtered back-projection cone-beam algorithm is adopted for three-dimensional reconstruction on account of the effective corn-beam angle is 5.67(0) of the micro-CT system. 200 x 1024 x 1024 matrix data of micro-CT is obtained with the magnification of 1.77 and pixel size of 3 1 X 31 mum(2) M. In our reconstruction software, output image size of micro-CT slices data, magnification factor and rotation sample degree can be modified in the condition of different computational efficiency and reconstruction region. The reconstructed image matrix data is processed and visualization by visualization Toolkit (VTK). Data parallelism of VTK is performed in surface rendering of reconstructed data in order to improve computing speed. computing time of processing a 512 x 512 x 512 matrix datasets is about 1/20 compared with serial program when 30 CPU is used. The voxel size is 54x54x108 mum(3). The reconstruction and 3-D visualization images of laboratory rat car are presented.

A 3-d visualization system of the cranium based on reconstruction from X-rays is presented. Since X-rays belong to the penetrating projection images, the objects do not have definite surface in images. To solve this problem, an approach of pasting the lead granules on the face of a patient and reconstructing the face through the correlated vision is adopted. Then the 3-d cranium model is built by subtracting the thickness of soft tissue from the face model. The whole system consists of image pre-processing, feature point recognition, matching, texture mapping, animation, and 3-d measurement. Only the X-ray machine, adhesive tapes with lead granules and Multrasonograph are needed. The experiment demonstrates that this approach is effective and of high precision. It can help doctors examine and measure the face and cranium of patients by computer. Hopefully, this product could be developed and applied in clinic one day.

This paper presents an extension of the single-user scientific visualization system ZoomIn to a collaborative system. We discuss the principal challenges of remote collaboration in the case of scientific visualization and present the solutions realized for ZoomIn. The main issues identified include the support of slow/fast network connections, portability, ease-of-use, privacy, configuration of the working mode and permissions. We describe why the main concepts of the original ZoomIn are well suited for a collaborative extension and how collaboration is introduced. In particular, the volume of data for scientific visualization may be very large. Therefore, the transfer of data has to be optimized. We present three different methods of data transfer for collaborative visualization and compare their efficiency with respect to particular application scenarios.

This paper describes the visualisation components associated with a new environment for the pre-operative planning of total hip replacement. The system has a multisensorial immersive interface (stereoscopic display, several six-degrees-of-freedom tracking technologies, speech recognition and control, and haptic feedback) and includes advanced software visualisation and evaluation modules for both planning the operation and evaluating the likely outcomes.

We present images of ocular tissues obtained using ultrahigh resolution full-field OCT. The experimental setup is based on the Linnik interferometer, illuminated by a tungsten halogen lamp. En face tomographic images are obtained in real-time without scanning by computing the difference of two phase-opposed interferometric images recorded by a high-resolution CCD camera. A spatial resolution of 0.7 mu m 0.9 mu m (axial x transverse) is achieved thanks to the short source coherence length and the use of high numerical aperture microscope objectives. A detection sensitivity of 90 dB is obtained by means of image averaging and pixel binning. Whole unfixed eyes and unstained tissue samples (cornea, lens. retina, choroid and sclera) of ex vivo rat, mouse. rabbit and porcine ocular tissues were examined. The unprecedented resolution of our instrument allows cellular-level resolution in the cornea and retina, and visualization of individual fibers in the lens. Transcorneal lens imaging was possible in all animals. and in albino animals, transscleral retinal imaging was achieved. We also introduce our rapid acquisition full-field optical coherence tomography system designed to accommodate in vivo ophthalmologic imaging. The variations on the original system technology include the introduction of a xenon arc lamp as source, and rapid image acquisition performed by a high-speed CMOS camera. reducing acquisition time to 5 ins per frame.

Summary form only given. In recent years, processing of visual content has emerged as a key technology in many areas. Applications include consumer electronics, medical imaging, videoconferencing, and scientific visualization. However, the creation, processing, and management of these data types require an enormous computational effort, often too high for single processor architectures. Therefore, this fact taken together with the inherent data parallelism makes image processing and video processing natural application areas for parallel and distributed computing. Based on experiences from organizing the workshop series "Parallel and Distributed Image Processing, Video Processing, and Multimedia PDIVM", the EuroPar Multimedia topic, and other editorial activities we identify past, current, and future trends in the research lines associated with processing of visual content on parallel and distributed systems.
