Human activity recognition from movement-related signals or image sequences is a quite challenging problem in computer vision. Human activities can be decoded from various set of communication channels but it is proved that the head has a highlighted role to emphasize the message that is being communicated. Recognizing activities from head movements can be suitable, because the head has a near constant shape and appearance during the communication. The spatiotemporal segmentation of head movements can be also done by analyzing the trajectories. In this study, we give a general model for description and recognition of head movements. The basic idea has been extended by introducing a human activity database to make better decisions during the recognition. The proposed approach takes into consideration facial regions that encode essential information about head movements. The essence of head movements is extracted from motion history image representation and aligned by dynamic time warping. The efficiency of our system is also demonstrated by the recognition of head-drawn letters.

Compressed sensing (CS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables the reconstruction of MRI images with fewer samples in k-space. One requirement is that the acquired image has a sparse representation in a known transform domain. MR angiograms are already sparse in the image domain. They can be further sparsified through finite-differences. Therefore, it is a natural application for CS-MRI. However, low-contrast vessels are likely to disappear at high under-sampling ratios, since the commonly used l_1 reconstruction tends to underestimate the magnitude of the transformed sparse coefficients. These vessels, however, are likely to be clinically important for medical diagnosis. To avoid the fading of low-contrast vessels, we propose a user-guided CS MRI that is able to mitigate the reduction of vessel contrast within a region of interest (ROI). Simulations show that these low-contrast vessels can be well maintained via our method which results in higher local quality compared to conventional CS.

Usage of computer-readable visual codes became common in our everyday life at industrial environments and private use. The reading process of visual codes consists of two steps, localization and data decoding. This paper introduces a new method for QR code localization using conventional and deep rectifier neural networks. The structure of the neural networks, regularization, and training parameters, like input vector properties, amount of overlapping at samples, and effect of different block sizes are evaluated and discussed. Results are compared to localization algorithms of the literature.

In daily routine the reticulin silver staining is used on bone marrow biopsy samples as a gold standard for the characterization of myelofibrosis, however this method does not provide information about the prefibrotic stage. Recently a specific immunohistochemical method was introduced which may overcome these weaknesses of reticulin staining. Activated fibroblasts responsible for stromal proliferation are highlighted by increased PDGFR ß expression, which can be presented by immunohistochemistry in bone marrow samples. Using this staining the pre-fibrotic stage can become detectable and we have information about the disease activity. During development of new staining method it is important to prove its reliability and usability. In this paper we introduce a digital imageprocessing method to measure paranchymal damage in digitalized histological slides that can aid correct interpretation of the staining.
A reduction operator transforms a binary picture only by changing some black points to white ones, which is referred to as deletion. Sequential reductions may delete just one point at a time, while parallel reductions...

Barcode detection is required in a wide range of real-life applications. Imaging conditions and techniques vary considerably and each application has its own requirements for detection speed and accuracy. In our earlier works we built barcode detectors using morphological operations and uni-form partitioning with several approaches and showed their behaviour on a set of test images. In this work, those ideas have been extended with clus-tering, contrast measuring, distance transformation and probabilistic Hough transformation. Using more than one feature for localization leads to better accuracy, which makes detectors based on simple features, a competitive solution for commercial softwares and helps to fulll the requirements of industrial applications even more.

Topology preservation is a crucial issue of digital topology. Various applications of binary imageprocessing rest on topology preserving operators. Earlier studies in this topic mainly concerned with reductions (i.e., operators that only delete some object points from binary images), as they form the basis for thinning algorithms. However, additions (i.e., operators that never change object points) also play important role for the purpose of generating discrete Voronoi diagrams or skeletons by influence zones (SKIZ). Furthermore, the use of general operators that may both add and delete some points to and from objects in pictures are suitable for contour smoothing. Therefore, in this paper we present some new sufficient conditions for topology preserving reductions, additions, and general operators. Two additions for 2D and 3D contour smoothing are also reported.

Barcode detection is required in a wide range of real-life applications. Imaging conditions and techniques vary considerably and each application has its own requirements for detection speed and accuracy. In our earlier works we used uniform partitioning with several approaches for detection of various types of ID and 2D barcodes and showed their behaviour on a set of test images. In this work, we extend the partitioning idea and replace scan-line based methods with distance transformation to improve accuracy.
