Motion can be estimated by detecting the edges of a moving object using active contours, and registering them together to obtain the motion model parameters. This idea can be applied to patient motion during the acquisition of an MRI to eliminate motion artifacts in the image. The data obtained during the MRI acquisition, the k-space, can be divided into several subbands such that each subband is acquired in a small fraction of the full imaging time. These subbands create invariant tissue feature maps called subband images. Using active contours, the relative motion is analyzed across the different subband images to determine the motion parameters. Using these motion parameters it is possible to correct the subbands, thus correcting the k-space. This has the potential to yield clear, noise-free MR images.

To estimate motion, the edges of a moving object can be detected using active contours. After detecting the edges throughout the duration of the motion, the contours are registered together in order to obtain the motion model parameters. This idea can be applied to motion artifacts in Magnetic Resonance images (MRI) which are caused by patient motion during the acquisition of an MRI. Thus, if the patient motion can be determined, it will be possible to correct for the motion in the images. The proposed method eliminates motion artifacts by dividing the acquired MRI data into several subbands. These subbands create invariant tissue feature maps called subband images. Using active contours, the edges of each subband image are detected and the relative motion is analyzed across the different subband images, thus determining the motion parameters. From these motion parameters it is possible to correct the subband images, thus correcting the k-space yielding clear, noise-free MR images.

This paper presents a framework for integrating multiple sensory data, sparse range data and dense depth maps from shape from shading in order to improve the 3D reconstruction of visible surfaces of 3D objects. The integration process is based on propagating the error difference between the two data sets by fitting a surface to that difference and using it to correct the visible surface obtained from shape from shading. A feedforward neural network is used to fit a surface to the sparse data. We also study the use of the extended Kalman filter for supervised learning and compare it with the backpropagation algorithm. A performance analysis is done to obtain the best neural network architecture and learning algorithm. It is found that the integration of sparse depth measurements has greatly enhanced the 3D visible surface obtained from shape from shading in terms of metric measurements.

A maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method is used to estimate the fractal dimension of a number of natural texture images with and without the presence of noise. An additional texture measure which can be linked to the lacunarity measure is used to characterize natural textures since fractal dimension alone cannot totally characterize texture images. Segmentation of natural textures is successfully achieved by a k-means clustering algorithm using fractal dimension and the additional measure as representative features.< >
