In this paper, we propose a bandwidth-effective volume rendering scheme which subdivides the volume into the sub-volumes and transmits them to the texture units in visibility order. Each sub-volume is rendered in the ...

This paper presents a development of DWORM, a prototype of a distributed information retrieval system based on the Grid environment. The Grid environment enables traditional information retrieval systems to manage rapidly a voluminous amount of geographically distributed Web data by massively computing collaboration and resource sharing. Using a divide-and-conquer strategy, the document indexing and retrieval processes are disseminated and performed on each computing node. Preliminary evaluation done on machines under the ApGrid shows that DWORM scales optimally with four worker nodes; 45 percent more performance is obtained than the sequential WORM.

In this paper, we present the development of a digital image retrieval technique using autocorrelogram and wavelet based texture feature. Autocorrelogram is a color feature that is able to incorporate the spatial correlation of alike color and is tolerant to large changes in appearance, color, contrast, and brightness. A wavelet transform is used to analyze the textures that are characterized by their energy distribution in each sub-band. We propose an integration of the autocorrelogram and wavelet based texture to improve the performance of the image retrieval system. Experimental results suggest that the proposed integration offers much better performance than using the features separately.

This paper presents the comparative study of on-line testing methods for AMS systems application to decimation filters. We present a case-study implementation of high-level-synthesis-for-testability (HLSFT) methodology for the case of a decimation filter implemented in a BIST circuitry for mixed-signal core testing. Three different self-test techniques are studied and compared for a 0.6, 0.35 and 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS technologies.

This paper presents a new scheme of WDM/OCDMA system that capable of providing differentiated services in access network. We implement the proposed double-weight (DW) code in this system. The double-weight (DW) code has a fixed weight of 2 and exists for every natural number, n. In spectral-amplitude-coding optical code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, DW code has an ideal cross correlation to eliminate multiuser interference and suppress the noise. We analyze the performance of the system by evaluating the bit error rate (BER) of different services.

In this paper, a cluster-based framework is introduced for comparing analysis methods of functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI). In the proposed framework, fMRI data is replaced with a feature space and each method considered as a clustering method in the new space. As a result, different methods can be compared by means of a cluster validity measure. The feature space is computed using a non-parametric method (principal component analysis-PCA). Four subjects have been analyzed with three methods and the proposed cluster-based framework has evaluated performance of the methods. The results are identical to those of the modified receiver operating characteristics (ROC). This validates the proposed approach.

Automatic segmentation of brain tissues is crucial to many medical imaging applications. We use a multi-resolution analysis and a power transform to extend the well-known Gaussian mixture model expectation maximization based algorithm for segmentation of white matter, gray matter, and cerebrospinal fluid from T1-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the brain. Experimental results with near 4000 synthetic and real images are included. The results illustrate that the proposed method outperforms six existing methods.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is a non-invasive technique for assessing biochemical fingerprint of tissue composition. The need to differentiate between normal and abnormal tissues and determine type of abnormality before biopsy or surgery motivated development and application of MRSI. There are several technical reasons that make the brain easier than other organs to be examined with MRSI. This work presents our proposed methods and results for the analysis of the brain spectra of patients with three tumor types (malignant glioma, astrocytoma, and oligodendroglioma). After extracting features from MRSI data using wavelet and wavelet packets, we use artificial neural networks to determine the abnormal spectra and the type of abnormality. We evaluated the proposed methods using clinical and simulated MRSI data and biopsy results. The MRSI analysis results were correct 97% of the time when classifying the spectra of the clinical MRSI data into normal tissue, tumor, and radiation necrosis. They were correct 72% and 83% of the time when determining tumor types using the clinical and simulated MRSI data, respectively.
