This paper introduces a tracking method for the well known local MSER (Maximally Stable Extremal Region) detector. The component tree is used as an efficient data structure, which allows the calculation of MSERs in quasi-linear time. It is demonstrated that the tree is able to manage the required data for tracking. We show that by means of MSER tracking the computational time for the detection of single MSERs can be improved by a factor of 4 to 10. Using a weighted feature vector for data association improves the tracking stability. Furthermore, the component tree enables backward tracking which further improves the robustness. The novel MSER tracking algorithm is evaluated on a variety of scenes. In addition, we demonstrate three different applications, tracking of license plates, faces and fibers in paper, showing in all three scenarios improved speed and stability.

Boosting has become very popular in computer vision, showing impressive performance in detection and recognition tasks. Mainly off-line training methods have been used, which implies that all training data has to be a priori given; training and usage of the classifier are separate steps. Training the classifier on-line and incrementally as new data becomes available has several advantages and opens new areas of application for boosting in computer vision. In this paper we propose a novel on-line AdaBoost feature selection method. In conjunction with efficient feature extraction methods the method is real time capable. We demonstrate the multifariousness of the method on such diverse tasks as learning complex background models, visual tracking and object detection. All approaches benefit significantly by the on-line training.

This paper presents a novel system for interactive visualization and manipulation of medical datasets for surgery planning based on a hybrid VR / Tablet PC user interface. The goal of the system is to facilitate efficient visual inspection and correction of surface models generated by automated segmentation algorithms based on x-ray computed tomography scans, needed for planning surgical interventions. Factors like the quality of the visualization, nature of the dataset and interaction efficiency strongly influence system design decisions, in particular the design of the user interface, input devices and interaction techniques, leading to a hybrid setup. Finally, a user study is presented, which characterizes the system in terms of method efficiency and usability.

This paper presents a set of Virtual Reality-based interaction techniques for spatial analysis of medical datasets. computer-aided medical planning tools often require precise and intuitive interaction for the quantitative inspection and analysis of anatomical and pathological structures. We claim that measurement tasks can be carried out more efficiently using Virtual Reality-based interaction tools rather than using common 2D input devices used for medical workstation. Due to the true direct manipulation of threedimensional virtual objects, measurement tools can be used easily in 3D. An evaluation performed with a group of 20 subjects provides evidence to back up our claims.

This paper introduces an efficient 3D segmentation concept, which is based on extending the well-known maximally stable extremal region (MSER) detector to the third dimension. The extension allows the detection of stable 3D regions, which we call the maximally stable volumes (MSVs). We present a very efficient way to detect the MSVs in quasi-linear time by analysis of the component tree. Two applications - 3D segmentation within simulated MR brain images and analysis of the 3D fiber network within digitized paper samples $show that reasonably good segmentation results are achieved with low computational effort

The fields of wearable computing, augmented reality and ubiquitous computing are in principle highly convergent, as they all promise a Utopian future in which the devices embedded in the environment, our bodies and our clothes will have reached a level integration such that we can intuitively perceive and interact with our environment. However, the reality as practised in research labs and limited commercial deployments has been that budgetary and technical constraints have actually kept these fields separate and distinct. One manifestation of this separation is in the choice of sensors used to build systems in each domain. A truly cross-disciplinary project has to incorporate sensors of much greater heterogeneity than has occurred heretofore. The way in which sensors are deployed results in spatial seams that can act as obstacles to the provision of services across different areas. This paper takes an architectural approach to handling events from different tracking systems and maintaining a consistent spatial model of people and objects. The principal distinguishing feature is the automatic derivation of dataflow network of distributed sensors, dynamically and at run-time, based on requirements expressed by clients.
