In this paper we present some new results on Radon transform theory for stationary random fields. In particular we present a new projection theorem which gives the relation between the power spectrum density of one dimensional projections of a stationary random field and its two dimensional power spectrum density. This result yields the optimum mean square reconstruction filter from noisy projections and is useful in other problems such as multidimensional spectral estimation from one dimensional projections, noise analysis in computed tomography, etc. Example are given to demonstrate the usefulness of these results.

Filtering audio signals with filters designed exclusively from frequency domain specifications may result in an audible distortion in the vicinity of sharp amplitude transitions. This paper considers the application of known psychoacoustical properties to the design of digital audio filters which minimizes this distortion while approximating some ideal frequency domain characteristics. Psychoacoustic properties and a simple model for hearing are reviewed. A weighted least squares design criteria based on the model and frequency domain specifications is given. Examples of FIR and IIR filters are given and compared to classical frequency domain filters.

A common task in imageanalysis is that of measuring image properties within local windows. Often usefulness of these property estimates is determined by characteristics of the windows themselves. Critical factors include the window size and shape, and the contribution the window makes to the cost of computation, A highly efficient procedure for computing property estimates within Gaussian-like windows is described. Estimates are obtained within windows of many sizes simultaneously.

An automated system for detecting Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), an inheritable disorder of human connective tissue, is described. The approach is one of texture analysis, founded on standard statistical recognition of co-occurrence-based texture descriptors. Our contribution is to show that texture descriptors derived from gray-level co-occurrence matrices can be used in conjunction with descriptors derived from generalized co-occurrence matrices of local image features to increase performance. In fact, for the OI problem, our system demonstrates a level of performance which is significantly better than that of medical specialists.

This paper presents a model of motion suitable for cell tracking. It includes a representation for cell dynamics enabling it to maintain a correspondence between successive images of cells undergoing morphological changes. This model is based on a minimization problem whose computational solution is similar in form to a Newton-Rhapson iteration. The model is supported by experimental results from an actual tracking problem.

In this paper the authors derive simple approximate formulas for the performance of entropy-encoded DPCM for a Gaussian random process and a frequency-weighted mean-square distortion measure. Using these results they compare the performance of DPCM to the information theoretic rate-distortion bound. They study the effect on the performance of DPCM of the spectrum of the input process, the frequency weight in the distortion measure, and the number of prediction coefficients. They also examine briefly the case of achromatic still images using line-by-line and two-dimensional DPCM encoding with intrafield and intraframe information.
Frame-to-frame coherence is the highly structured relationship that exists between successive frames of certain animation sequences. From the point of view of the hidden surface computation, this implies that parts of...

Relaxation labeling processes are a class of iterative algorithms for using contextual information to reduce local ambiguities. This paper introduces a new perspective toward relaxation-that of considering it as a process for reordering labels attached to nodes in a graph. This new perspective is used to establish the formal equivalence between relaxation and another widely used algorithm, local maxima selection. The equivalence specifies conditions under which a family of cooperative relaxation algorithms, which generalize the well-known ones, decompose into purely local ones. Since these conditions are also sufficient for guaranteeing the convergence of relaxation processes, they serve as stopping criteria. We feel that equivalences such as these are necessary for the proper application of relaxation and maxima selection in complex speech and vision understanding systems.
