The inspection of lead-frame is important in semiconductor industry. During the production process, the quality control of lead-frame plays an important role. Here we introduce a method for inspection of contamination and plating quality of lead frame. The basic method of segmentation of interested lead surface into five classes is discussed based on the samples supplied from IC manufacturing company. A two-stage inspection method is introduced based on the basic five classes. The discussion of the system realization and experimental results show the idea.

A novel approach has been developed for fast registration of two sets of 3-D curves or surfaces. The technique is an extension of Besl and Mackay's (1992) iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm. This technique solves the computational complexity associated with the ICP algorithm by applying a novel grid closest point (GCP) transform and a genetic algorithm to minimize the cost function. A detailed description of the algorithm is presented along with a comparison of its performance versus several registration techniques. Two applications are presented in this paper. In the first, the algorithm is used to register 2-D head contours extracted from CT/MRI data to correct for possible mis-alignment caused by motion artifacts during scanning. In the second, the algorithm is used to register 3-D segments of the human jaw obtained using the shape from shading technique. Registration using the GCP/GA technique is found to be significantly faster and of comparable accuracy than two popular techniques in the computervision and medical imaging literature.

A novel integrated system is developed to obtain a record of the patient's occlusion using computervision. Data acquisition is obtained using intra-oral video camera. A modified Shape from Shading (SFS) technique using perspective projection and camera calibration is then used to extract accurate 3D information from a sequence of 2D images of the jaw. A novel technique for 3D data registration using Grid Closest Point (GCP) transform and genetic algorithms (GA) is used to register the output of the SFS stage. Triangulization is then performed, and a solid 3D model is obtained via a rapid prototype machine. The overall purpose of this research is to develop a model-based vision system for orthodontics that will replace traditional approaches and can be used in diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical simulation and implant purposes.

This paper describes the application of fuzzy set theory in medical imaging, namely the segmentation of brain images. We propose a fully automatic technique to obtain image clusters. A modified fuzzy c-mean (FCM) classification algorithm is used to provide a fuzzy partition. Our new method, inspired from the Markov Random Field (MRF), is less sensitive to noise as it filters the image while clustering it, and the filter parameters are enhanced in each iteration by the clustering process. We applied the new method on a noisy CT scan and on a single channel MRI scan. We recommend using a methodology of over segmentation to the textured MRI scan and a user guided-interface to obtain the final clusters. One of the applications of this technique is TBI recovery prediction in which it is important to consider the partial volume. It is shown that the system stabilizes after a number of iterations with the membership value of the region contours reflecting the partial volume value. The final stage of the process is devoted to decision making or the defuzzification process.

A 1.5V resistive fuse for image smoothing and segmentation using bulk-driven MOSFETs is presented. The circuit switches on only if the differential voltage applied across its input terminals is less than a set voltage;it switches off if the differential voltage is higher than the set value. The useful operation range of the circuit is 0.4V with a supply voltage of 1.5V and threshold voltages of V-Tn = 0.828V and V-Tp = -0.56V for n and g channel MOSFETs, respectively.

In this paper, we present a new system to segment and label CT/MRI Brain slices using feature extraction and unsupervised clustering. In this technique, each voxel is assigned a feature pattern consisting of a scaled family of differential geometrical invariant features. The invariant feature pattern is then assigned to a specific region using a two-stage neural network system. The first stage is a self-organizing principal components analysis (SOPCA) network that is used to project the feature vector onto its leading principal axes found by using principal components analysis. This step provides an effective basis for feature extraction. The second stage consists of a self-organizing feature map (SOFM) which will automatically cluster the input vector into different regions. The optimum number of regions (clusters) is obtained by a model fitting approach. Finally, a 3D connected component labeling algorithm is applied to ensure region connectivity. Implementation and performance of this technique are presented. Compared to other approaches, the new system is more accurate in extracting 3D anatomical structures of the brain, and can be apdated to real-time imaging scenarios.

A novel approach is proposed to obtain a record of the patient's occlusion using computervision. Data acquisition is obtained using intra-oral video cameras. The technique utilizes shape from shading to extract 3D information from 2D views of the jaw, and a novel technique for 3D data registration using genetic algorithms. The resulting 3D model can be used for diagnosis, treatment planning, and implant purposes. The overall purpose of this research is to develop a model-based vision system for orthodontics to replace traditional approaches. This system will be flexible, accurate, and will reduce the cost of orthodontic treatments.
