Two Sequential Stages Classifier for Multispectral Data

Two Sequential Stages Classifier for Multispectral Data

In this paper, we present an approach for the classification of remote sensing multispectral data, which consists of two sequential stages. The first stage exploits the capabilities of the Support Vector Machines (SVM) approach for density estimation and uses it in a Bayes classification setup. In a typical image, the class of a pixel is highly dependent on the classes of its neighbor pixels. The second stage exploits the dependency of the classes. We incorporate this dependency using stochastic modeling of the context as a Markov Random Field (MRF). The MRF is modeled using Besag model and implemented using the Iterative Conditional Modes (ICM) algorithm. Results show that the stochastic modeling approach enhances the results and provides reasonable smoothness in the classified image.

Stochastic models of images are commonly represented in terms of three random processes (random fields) defined on the region of support of the image. The observed image process G is considered as a composite of two random process: a high level process G/sup h/, which represents the regions (or classes) that form the observed image; and a low level process G/sup l/, which describes the statistical characteristics of each region (or class). The representation G = (G/sup h/, G/sup l/) has been widely used in the image processing literature in the past two decades. In this paper, we consider the low level process G/sup l/ as mixture of normal distributions, and we use the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to estimate the mean, the variance, and proportion for each distribution. A popular model for the high level process G/sup h/ has been the Gibbs-Markov random field (GMRF) model. We introduce a novel unsupervised approach to estimate the parameters of a GMRF model. In this approach, we estimate the model parameters that maximize the posteriori probability of each pixel in a given image. The MAP estimate is obtained using a combination of genetic search and deterministic optimization using the iterated conditional mode (ICM) approach of Besag. The desired estimate of the GMRF parameters is the one corresponding to the MAP estimate. The approach has been applied on real images (Spiral CT slices) and provides satisfactory results.

Nowadays the medical tracking of dermatological diseases is imprecise. The main reason is the lack of suitable objective methods to evaluate the lesion. The severity of the disease is scored by doctors just through their visual examination. In this work, a system to take accurate images of dermatological lesions has been developed. Mathematical methods can be applied to these images to obtain values that summarize the lesion and help to track its evolution. The system is composed of two elements. A precise image acquisition equipment and a statistical procedure to extract the lesions from the images. The system is tested on patients with the dermatological disease psoriasis. Temporal series of images are taken for each patient and the lesions are automatically extracted. Results indicate that to the images obtained are a good source for obtaining derived variables to track the lesion. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.

This paper addresses the problem of calibrating camera lens distortion, which can be significant in medium to wide angle lenses. While almost all existing nonmetric distortion calibration methods need user involvement in one form or another,we present an approach to distortion calibration based on the robust the-least-median-of-squares (LMedS) estimator. Our approach is thus able to proceed in a ful ly-automatic manner while being less sensitive to erroneous input data such as image curves that are mistakenly considered as projections of 3D linear segments. Our approach uniquely uses fast, closed-form solutions to the distortion coefficients, which serve as an initial point for a non-linear optimization algorithm to straighten imaged lines. Moreover we propose a method for distortion model selection based on geometrical *** experiments to evaluate the performance of this approach on synthetic and real data are reported.

images can be represented using as locations and parameters of edges based on an edge mode. The representation was shown to be effective to reduce coding errors of images coded using SPIHT in an image postprocessing method. However, the representation results several artifacts which include "smudge and halos" artifacts and stripping artifacts. We have found the causes of these artifacts and propose a revised representation that has these artifacts significantly suppressed Also, we shall demonstrate that the revised representation can further improve the performance of the image post-processing algorithm.

Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research 2003年第SUPPL1期6卷 108-116页

Objectives: To present two practical techniques for threedimensional (3D) modeling of the human jaw from a sequence of intra-oral images. Design: A data acquisition system consists of: 3D digitizing arm, CCD camera and a laser projector in addition to a software module of two 3D modeling techniques;shape from shading (SFS) and space carving (SC). Setting and sample population - Several experiments have been conducted on a sample of students at the computer vision and image processing (CVIP) Laboratory at the University of Louisville, Louisville, KY. Other experiments were performed on solid models of human jaw. Experimental variable: The SFS technique, using perspective projection and camera calibration, extracts the 3D information from a sequence of two-dimensional images of the jaw. Data fusion of range data and 3D registration techniques develop the complete jaw model. The SC approach is implemented on a sequence of calibrated images. On the two reconstructions, we fit a mesh model to the data, in order to create a solid 3D model. Outcome measure: The accuracy of the reconstructed 3D model of human jaw is calculated based on the measurements on real jaws. Results: The SFS-based technique seems to provide more faithful information about the shape of the tooth tops. However, the SC algorithm successfully reconstructed 3D models of the human jaw with sub-millimeter accuracy, which is as accurate as (or even better than) the first technique without using any range measurements or laser projectors. The average error in distance calculation was found to be 0.74 mm, which is an acceptable resolution for many orthodontics and maxillofacial applications. Conclusion: Accurate 3D reconstruction of the human jaw enables many orthodontics and dental imaging researchfindings to be applied directly to a digital jaw model - not to a cast - using computer vision and medical imaging tools. © 2003 Blackwell Munksgaard.

This research aims at developing a fully automatic computer-Assisted Diagnosis (CAD) system for lung cancer screening using chest spiral CT scans. This paper presents two novel approaches for segmentation of the lung tissues from the surrounding structures in the chest cavity, and detection of the abnormalities in the lung tissues. The segmentation algorithm is hierarchical. The first step is to isolate the background from the chest cavity. The second step is to isolate the lungs from the surrounding structures (e.g., ribs, liver, and other organs that may appear in chest CT scans) by using Gibbs–Markov Random Field (GMRF). The third step is to isolate the abnormality (lung nodules), arteries, vines, bronchi, and bronchioles from the normal tissues. Finally, the abnormalities in the lungs are detected by using adaptive template matching;its parameters (mean, variance…) are estimated from the given data. In order to increase the speed of detecting lung nodules, we use genetic algorithms (GAs) to determine the target position in the observed image and to select an adequate template image from several reference patterns. © 2003, Elsevier Science B.V.

Our aim is to develop a fully automatic computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) system for lung cancer screening using chest spiral CT scans. A screening program on 1000 subjects aims at quantification of the effectiveness of low dose spiral CT scans for early diagnosis of lung cancer, and evaluation of its possible impact on improving the mortality rate of cancer patients. The paper presents an image analysis system for 3D reconstruction of the lungs and trachea, detection of lung abnormalities, identification/classification of these abnormalities with respect to specific diagnosis, and distributed visualization of the results over computer networks. We present two novel approaches for segmentation of the lung tissues from the surrounding structures in the chest cavity, and detection of abnormalities in the lungs. The segmentation algorithm is hierarchical, first isolating the background from the chest cavity, then isolating the lungs from surrounding structures (e.g., ribs, liver, and other organs). Abnormalities in the lungs are detected by analyzing the segmented lung tissues and extracting the isolated lumps that appear in various connected regions. 3D reconstructions are also generated for these abnormalities, to be used for subsequent identification/classification steps. Results on 50 subjects are shown, and have been evaluated against radiologists. Our image analysis approach has provided comparable results with respect to the experts. The approach is quite fast, and lends itself to distributed visualization over computer networks.
