Medical diagnosis software and computer-assisted surgical systems often use segmented image data to help clinicians make decisions. The segmentation extracts the region of interest from the background, which makes the visualization clearer. However, no segmentation method can guarantee accurate results under all circumstances. As a result, the clinicians need a solution that enables them to check and validate the segmentation accuracy as well as displaying the segmented area without ambiguities.
With the method presented in this paper, the real CT or MR image is displayed within the segmented region and the segmented boundaries can be expanded or contracted interactively. By this way, the clinicians are able to check and validate the segmentation visually and make more reliable decisions. After experiments with real data from a hospital, the presented method is proved to be suitable for efficiently detecting segmentation errors. The new algorithm uses new graphic processing uint (GPU) shading functions recently introduced in graphic cards and is fast enough to interact oil the segmented area, which was not possible with previous methods.

Digitizing large-surface paintings at a high resolution in museums is necessary in the field of painting conservation to document the actual condition of paintings (e.g. colour measurements) and for analysis (e.g. to analyse underdrawings in high-resolution infrared images). Hence, this paper presents a portable system that is able to scan large-surface paintings or images to provide high-resolution digital images. Additional a 3D-model of the surface of the scanned object is generated. The purpose of the 3D-model is to use the 3D-information to create a planar representation of a once planar painting or image that was deformed through environmental effects. Otherwise uncorrected images lead to blurring in the overlap region of the blended subimages. The resolution of the final image is up to 33 pixel/mm and the size of the scanned object is up to 1.5 m x 1.3 m.

Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is one of the most used feature extraction techniques for face recognition. However, it often suffers from the small sample size problem with high dimension setting. Random Subspace Method (RSM) is a popular combining technique to improve weak classifier. Nevertheless, it remains a problem how to construct an optimal random subspace for discriminant analysis. In this paper, we propose an improved random sampling LDA for face recognition. Firstly, AdaBoost is adopted to select Gabor feature and remove redundant information. Secondly, in the selected Gabor feature space, we combine principal component analysis and RSM approaches to construct optimal random subspaces for LDA. After that, direct LDA (D-LDA) and R-LDA is applied in each subspace, respectively. Final results are obtained by combining all the LDA classifiers using a fusion rule. Experiments with both the ORL and FERET face databases demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method, and it shows promising results compared with previous approaches.

This paper proposes a drawing tool recognition method based on features calculated from the shape of stroke endings. The application for this method is to help art historians to identify the drawing tool used for a drawing. Since the style of a drawing depends on the drawing tool used, drawing tool recognition is an important step toward a style analysis. A dominant feature of a drawn stroke is its ending. Several features regarding curvature, proportions etc. are calculated out of the shape of the endings. These features are then used to classify stroke endings with a SVM classifier.

A single-mode background model based on blob analysis is proposed to segment foreground from image sequences in complex environment. Firstly, the symmetric difference is used to extract a rough moving object. Secondly, blob analysis is utilized to update background model .Finally, classification strategy (block-level and frame-level) is used to extract foreground accurately and avoid the affect of noise and illumination variance. Experimental results show that the presented approach works well in the presence of complex environment and illumination variance.

This paper presents a novel level set method for image segmentation. Gray-level moments are used to estimate two fitting functions that approximate local intensities on the two sides of object boundaries, which are then incorporated into a variational level set framework. An energy functional is defined on a contour, which characterizes the approximation of local intensities on the two sides of the contour by the two fitting functions. This energy can be minimized when the contour is on the object boundary. Thus, image segmentation is performed by minimizing this energy functional. A desirable feature of our method is that it is not sensitive to the contour initialization. Moreover, our method is able to segment images with intensity inhomogeneity. Only a small number of iterations are needed to obtain the final result, which makes our method more efficient than previous level set methods.

Finding a new position for each landmark is a crucial step in active shape model (ASM). Mahalanobis distance minimization is used for this finding, provided there are enough training data such that the grey-level profiles for each landmark follow a multivariate Gaussian distribution. However, this condition could not be satisfied in most cases. In this paper, a new method support vector machine (SVM) based ASM (SVMBASM) is proposed. It approaches the finding task as a small sample size classification problem, and uses SVM classifier to deal with this problem. Moreover, considering imbalanced dataset which contains more negative instances (incorrect candidates for new position) than positive instances (correct candidates for new position), a multi-class classification framework is adopted. Performance evaluation on SJTU face database show that the proposed SVMBASM outperforms the original ASM in terms of the average error as well as the average frequency of convergence.
