digital Subtraction Rotational Angiography (dSRA) is a clinical protocol that allows three-dimensional (3d) visualization of vasculature during minimally invasive procedures. C-arm systems that are used to generate 3d reconstructions in interventional radiology have limited sampling rate and thus, contrast resolution. To address this particular subsampling problem, we propose a novel iterative reconstruction algorithm based on compressed sensing. To this purpose, we exploit both spatial and temporal sparsity of dSRA. For computational efficiency, we use a proximal implementation that accommodates multiple ℓ 1 -penalties. Experiments on both simulated and clinical data confirm the relevance of our strategy for reducing subsampling streak artifacts.

In this paper, we propose a new compression method for geometry data of 3-d mode using decoded coefficient prediction based on the structuring of surrounding vertices. We have proposed the structuring procedure of surrounding 3-d vertices on a 2-d plane to obtain 2-d structured geometry data. In this paper, multiresolution decomposition by decoded coefficient prediction decomposes structured geometry data in consideration of correlations between adjacent vertices. The decomposition processing gives four components in one step according to where each vertex is located in the structured geometry data and the prediction is performed. In the prediction process, the predicted value is obtained from decoded coefficients of the processed vertices adjacent to the target vertex in the polygonal mesh. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives better coding performance, in particular at higher coding rates, than conventional coding methods.

Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom) is an emerging discipline that investigates synergies between infocommunications and the cognitive sciences, with the goal of creating engineering applications in which systems with various levels of cognitive capability are enabled to work together more effectively. While infocommunications deals with the error-free encoding, transmission anddecoding of raw data, CogInfoCom aims to transmit information at a higher, conceptual level in a way that appeals to the receiver's cognitive capabilities. Thus, CogInfoCom may have implications for a wide variety of fields in the future, including virtual reality, 3d Internet and Internet of Things. In this paper, we provide a brief, application-oriented overview of the existing background of CogInfoCom, and outline future perspectives for the field.

In this paper we present a graph-based volumetric data segmentation method based on a 3d hexagonal prismatic lattice. We evaluate the advantages anddisadvantages of using this lattice in contrast with classic ones. One of the main advantages are high isoperimetric quotient, near equidistant neighbours (ability to represent curves better, resulting in a better segmentation) and high connectivity. disadvantages are due to the main stream lack of interest in this area and thus data sets must be converted back and forth from rectangular to hexagonal latices both in acquisition andvisualization processes.

Modern multicore hardware employs a variety of parallel execution units, including multiple CPU cores for executing multiple threads simultaneously, vector units such as the Intel SIMd on the CPU cores, as well as GPU-like processing arrays. Availability of such unprecedented level of parallelism on main-stream computers offers an enormous potential to enable a new generation of computation-intensive nontraditional applications. On the other hand, how to best harness the hardware parallelism presents a new challenge to application programmers, language designers and compiler developers. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of several different parallel execution models, especially the new SIMd vectorization methods, supported by the latest Intel ICC compiler (version 12.1), using three computation-intensive nontraditional parallel applications as the test workload. Unlike traditional numerical programs, these applications use highly irregular data structures and therefore present nontrivial challenges to effective use of SIMd vector units. The first application is a game engine architecture requiring real-time performance. The second application involves a kd-tree traversal, which is typical to the state-of-the-art 3d ray-tracing applications. The last application processes data for large-scale weather visualization system in the order of tens of minutes. We compare the execution time of these codes using different SIMd models supported by ICC in conjunction with parallel threading under TBB and OpenMP.

Airborne laser scanning (ALS) is an active remote sensing technique that can provide 3d information about the scene. Over the last few years, ALS has proved its capability of rapid acquisition of accurate topographic data. With the advantages of high accuracy, ALS data has become an accepteddata source for highly automated acquisition of digital surface models (dSM) as well as for the generation of digital elevation models (dEM) which have been used in many applications such as civic planning, military navigation and natural hazard risk assessment. To utilize the 3ddata provided by the ALS systems however, efficient methods for dataprocessing and model construction needs to be developed. In this paper some recent technique on analysis andvisualization modelling of ALS data will be presented. After the brief presentation of the ALS system, the computation of ALS data is introduced. The dataprocessing chain for producing dSM is outlined. A data filtering method is proposed for generating dEM. A 3dvisualization modelling study on ground scene is carried out and the framework of establishing visualization of dSM anddEM using ALS data is brought as well.

Since the introduction of the concept of "digital Earth", almost every major international city has been re-constructed in the virtual world. A large volume of geometric models describing urban objects has become freely available in the public domain via software like ArcGlobe and Google Earth. Although mostly created for visualization, these urban models can benefit many applications beyondvisualization including city scale evacuation planning and earth phenomenon simulations. However, these models are mostly loosely structured and implicitly defined and require tedious manual preparation that usually takes weeks if not months before they can be used. designing algorithms that can robustly and efficiently handle unstructured urban models at the city scale becomes a main technical challenge. In this paper, we present a framework that generates seamless 3d architectural models from 2d ground plans with elevation and height information. These overlapping ground plans are commonly used in the current GIS software such as ESRI ArcGIS and urban model synthesis methods to depict various components of buildings. due to measurement and manual errors, these ground plans usually contain small, sharp, and various (nearly) degenerate artifacts. In this paper, we show both theoretically and empirically that our framework is efficient and numerically stable. Based on our review of the related work, we believe this is the first work that attempts to automatically create 3d architectural meshes for simulation at the city level. With the goal of providing greater benefit beyondvisualization from this large volume of urban models, our initial results are encouraging. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
