The problem of planning the Next Best View (NBV) still poses many questions. However, the achieved methods and algorithms are hard to compare, since researchers use their own test objects for planning and reconstruction and compute specific quality measures. Consequently, these numbers make different statements about different objects. Thus, the quality of the results and the performance of the methods are not easily comparable. In order to mend this lack of measure and comparability, this paper suggests a test object together with a reference benchmark. These allow comparison of reconstruction results from different NBV algorithms achieved with different techniques and various kinds of sensors.

Local image descriptors have proved themselves as useful tools for many computervision tasks such as matching points between multiple images of a scene and object recognition. Current descriptors, such as SIFT, are designed to match image features with unique local neighborhoods. However, the interest point detectors used with SIFT often fail to select perceptible local structures in the image, and the SIFT descriptor does not directly encode the local neighborhood shape. In this paper we propose a symmetry based interest point detector and radial local structure descriptor which consistently captures the majority of basic local image structures and provides a geometrical description of the structure boundaries. This approach concentrates on the extraction of shape properties in image patches, which are an intuitive way to represent local appearance for matching and classification. We explore the specificity and sensitivity of this local descriptor in the context of classification of natural patterns. The implications of the performance comparison with standard approaches like SIFT are discussed.

In this paper, we introduce the primal sketch model which might lead to a new image compression method. The primal sketch model integrates two modeling schemes for two type components in natural images: the sketchable and the non-sketchable parts. The sketchable part explains the structural components of the image by using a hidden layer of image primitives. The non-sketchable part denotes the remaining textural components without distinguishable elements by Markov random field models for texture images. The primitives in the image representation are not independent but organized as a sketch graph. The whole image can be coded by a sketch graph with a primitive dictionary and texture descriptors. Such a lossy coding scheme could achieve the compression ratio of 20 to 40 for natural images. With the similar visual effect, the coding length of JFEG2000 is about 1.5 to 3 times higher. This promising compression method could be applied to some situations such as wireless transmission where the bandwidth is critical and low quality images are still acceptable.

This paper presents a pioneering study on automatic dating of handwritten manuscripts. Analysis of handwriting style forms the core of the dating method. Initially, it is hypothesized that a manuscript can be dated, to a certain level of accuracy, by looking at the way it is written. The hypothesis is then verified with real samples of known dates. A general framework is proposed for machine dating of handwritten manuscripts. Experiments on a database containing manuscripts of Gustave Flaubert (1821- 1880), the famous French novelist reports about 62% accuracy when manuscripts are dated within a range of five calendar years with respect to their exact year of writing.

Symbolic compression is a lossy compression technique which has been found to perform very efficiently for Indian language text document images. A novel and efficient watermarking technique is proposed for such documents compressed symbolically. The approach embeds the watermark into prototypes which are unaffected during compression, leading to an exact recovery of the watermark both from the compressed document and the reconstructed one. The watermark is perfectly resistant to JPEG conversion and reasonably resistant to other attacks. The proposed technique, for the first time, combines the compression and watermarking of Indian language text document images in a common framework.

The endovascular repair of a traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta - that would otherwise lead to the death of the patient - is performed by delivering a stent-graft into the vessel at the rupture location. The age range of the affected patients is large and the stent-graft will stay in the body for the remaining life. The technique is relatively new, and no experience with regard to long-term effects, and durability exists. To predict long-term complications, such as ruptures or destructive interactions with surrounding tissue during the life of the patient, it is important to understand the - rather intense and constant - movement of the stent- graft during the cardiac cycle. A computed tomography with heart gating (gated CT) acquires sequences that show the region of the stent-graft at different time points. We analyze the motion of stent-grafts with a model based approach. Stent-grafts are represented as sparse sets of axis points extracted from the gated CT, and motion patterns are captured by a minimum description length based group-wise registration of the stent-graft at different time points. No parameterization or a priori definition of the topology is necessary, and highly variable elasticity properties in the data volume can by accounted for by the sparse statistical model, that captures correlations and motion components of the stent-graft. We report results for deformation models and registration accuracy for 5 patients.
