In this paper, we present a new system to segment and label CT brain slices using a self-organizing Kohonen network. Our aim is to extract reliable and robust measures from CT images of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients that can accurately describe the morphological changes in the brain as recovery progresses. Segmentation is performed by assigning a feature pattern to each voxel, consisting of a scaled family of differential geometrical invariant features. The invariant feature pattern is input to Kohonen network for an unsupervised classification of the voxels into regions.

In ATM networks cell loss causes data to be dropped in the channel. When digital video is transmitted over these networks one must be able to reconstruct the missing data so that the impact of these errors is minimized. In this paper we describe a Bayesian approach to conceal these errors. Assuming that the digital video has been encoded using the MPEG1 or MPEG2 compression scheme, each frame is modeled as a Markov random field. A maximum a posteriori estimate of the missing macroblocks and motion vectors is described based on the model.

In this project we consider automated vehicle location and classification systems. Current systems which utilize loop detectors or video cameras have deficiencies. Video based systems are sensitive to environmental conditions and do not perform well in vehicle classification. The new generation of range or distance sensors that are being developed offer the promise of sensors which are not sensitive to lighting conditions and provide information which should give better vehicle detection and classification percentages than current systems. The focus of this project is to develop an automated vehicle location and classification system based upon imagery obtained from range sensors. image analysis operators and classification methods are developed for vehicle classification. Preliminary results indicate that accurate vehicle classification can be obtained.

This paper presents a texture segmentation algorithm based on a hierarchical wavelet decomposition. Using Daubechies' four-tap filter, an original image is decomposed into three detail images and one approximate image. The decomposition can be recursively applied to the approximate image to generate a lower resolution of the pyramid. The segmentation starts at the lowest resolution using the K-means clustering scheme and textural features obtained from various sub-bands. The result of segmentation is propagated through the pyramid to a higher resolution with continuously improving the segmentation. The lower resolution levels help to build the contour of the segmented texture, while higher levels refine the process, and correct possible errors.

An algorithm based on the subband nonuniform discrete Fourier transform (SB-NDFT) is proposed for decoding dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signals. To decode a DTMF signal, its energy at the eight DTMF frequencies must be determined by evaluating samples of the NDFT at these frequencies. In the proposed SB-NDFT algorithm, these NDFT samples are computed by decomposing the input signal into two subbands. Since DTMF signals occupy the low-frequency part of the telephone bandwidth, the higher subband can be discarded for a fast, approximate computation. A performance comparison between algorithms based on the NDFT, SB-NDFT, DFT, and SB-DFT shows that the SB-NDFT requires the lowest number of computations to attain a specified level of performance.
This paper is concerned with reducing the rank of the adaptive weight vector in radar array signal processing. The motivation for reducing the rank is that modern space-time processing requires many more weights than ...

We present a method to compute depth from the amount of defocus in two images obtained from the same view-point but with different camera parameter settings. The change in defocus (blur) between the two images is proportional to the depth in the scene. We introduce a novel method to estimate the blur using a multiresolution local frequency representation of the input image pair. A confidence measure is used to discriminate between high error and low error blur estimates. Quantitative experimental results are shown for both real and synthetic images.

Optical flow computation may be divided into four processing steps where the first is extraction of image features suitable for flow estimation. Using a generalization of the basic flow constraint it is possible to estimate flow vectors from a set of feature images obtained from the input image sequence. Generalized Sobel operators provide a suitable set of feature extraction operators. The set of five filters up to second order provides good approximations of ideal edge and line detectors. A review of spatial and frequency constraints on optical flow suggests a multiresolution approach to optical flow where the initial feature extractors consists of velocity tuned operators. We show that two-dimensional generalized Sobel operators may be extended to spatio-temporal velocity tuned filters for optical flow estimation. Experimental results compare well to existing methods.< >
