An efficient method to retrieve necessary information from drawings for plant diagrams, logic circuit diagrams, etc. stored in a database is presented. In the image information retrieval systems currently in use, a keyword is assigned to each diagram and information is retrieved by the user by giving the keyword. When the features of the desired image are not registered as a keyword, however, its retrieval becomes difficult. In this paper a method is proposed in which the user shows features of the desired diagram using a sample diagram and a section similar to the sample diagram is retrieved. In this research, diagrams consisting mainly of symbols and connecting lines are considered. This kind of diagram is represented by a graph and similarities in topological features between the sample graph and graph representations of the diagrams in the database are evaluated. The retrieval is then performed based on the value obtained. The results of an experiment conducted using plant diagrams show that similar diagrams can be retrieved using this method.

This paper addresses the issue of tracking tubular objects, particularly blood vessels from MR images. A model-based approach is adopted. The generalized stochastic tube (GST) model is developed which is an extension of our previously proposed (1993) generalized tube (GT) model. Transitions among adjacent tubes are explicitly parameterized. Integrated with a bivariate Gaussian density function adopted to model the blood flow within cross sections, the GST model is applied to tracking blood vessels in MRA volumetric data. Experimental results on both synthetic data with different degrees of Gaussian noise and real MRA data demonstrated that simultaneously utilizing both models yields robust performance under noisy conditions.

For real-time radar processing, it is very desirable to have an algorithm that does not assume restricted statistics of the input data and can be implemented for high-speed processing (without a high cost) to meet real-time requirements. We therefore apply the QR decomposition-based least-squares method for linear prediction to the problem of computing the reflection coefficients of a lattice predictor, instead of using the conventional Burg algorithm. We also propose a modified one-dimensional ring architecture for implementing the QR method of least-squares. The particular application considered in this case is that of surveillance radar systems for air traffic control.< >

The problem of egomotion recovery has been treated by using as input local image motion, with the published algorithms utilizing the geometric constraint relating 2-D local image motion (optical flow, correspondence, derivatives of the image flow) to 3-D motion and structure. Since it has proved very difficult to achieve accurate input (local image motion), a lot of effort has been devoted to the development of robust techniques. A new approach to the problem of egomotion estimation is taken, based on constraints of a global nature. It is proved that local normal flow measurements form global patterns in the image plane. The position of these patterns is related to the three dimensional motion parameters. By locating some of these patterns, which depend only on subsets of the motion parameters, through a simple search technique, the 3-D motion parameters can be found. The proposed algorithmic procedure is very robust, since it is not affected by small perturbations in the normal flow measurements. As a matter of fact, since only the sign of the normal flow measurement is employed, the direction of translation and the axis of rotation can be estimated with up to 100% error in the image measurements.< >

Precise geometric description of river sediment trails in the sea may assist in a better understanding of the complex processes happening in this type of environment. By means of stereo restitution of a Space Shuttle Large Format Camera photo pair it could be shown that a three-dimensional survey of the margins of individual sediment trails is possible. It turns out, however, that the positioning of the measuring mark is not always easy, and that this type of plotting needs a well-experienced operator. The bathymetric information obtained is brought in relation to sedimentological aspects.
Recently, a very simple nonlinear algorithm, the so-called Teager's algorithm, has been introduced to calculate the energy of a one-dimensional sequence [1]. In this paper, this algorithm is extended to two-dimens...
