In this article a multimedia computer-assisted learning (MCAL) system is presented. The major objective of this work was to investigate the potential of using such systems as tools for transferring instructional course information through various types of computer media as opposed to the classic CAL systems. The philosophy and techniques employed to design the system are investigated. Usage of the implemented system and its merits have been illustrated through its application to teach engineering students and technicians the theory and concepts of marine radar. System design, implementation, test, and revision phases are presented and discussed.

This paper addresses the issue of tracking tubular objects, particularly blood vessels from MR images. A model-based approach is adopted. The generalized stochastic tube (GST) model is developed which is an extension of our previously proposed (1993) generalized tube (GT) model. Transitions among adjacent tubes are explicitly parameterized. Integrated with a bivariate Gaussian density function adopted to model the blood flow within cross sections, the GST model is applied to tracking blood vessels in MRA volumetric data. Experimental results on both synthetic data with different degrees of Gaussian noise and real MRA data demonstrated that simultaneously utilizing both models yields robust performance under noisy conditions.

A model-based approach is used for recognizing arterial blood vessels from MRA volumetric data. The modeling includes (1) a generalized stochastic tube model characterizing the structural properties of the vessels, and (2) a bivariate Gaussian function, modeling the expected cross sectional blood flow. This integrated model renders the recognition problem as a parameter estimation problem which is subsequently solved in a hierarchical fashion. Due to the descriptive representation for objects, a new visualization scheme for blood vessels is proposed that allows the observation of the blood flow of each cross section along a recognized vessel. Some experimental results from both synthetic data and real MRA volumes are given. The visualization of interior blood flow patterns for some vessels are also shown.< >

The problem of egomotion recovery has been treated by using as input local image motion, with the published algorithms utilizing the geometric constraint relating 2-D local image motion (optical flow, correspondence, derivatives of the image flow) to 3-D motion and structure. Since it has proved very difficult to achieve accurate input (local image motion), a lot of effort has been devoted to the development of robust techniques. A new approach to the problem of egomotion estimation is taken, based on constraints of a global nature. It is proved that local normal flow measurements form global patterns in the image plane. The position of these patterns is related to the three dimensional motion parameters. By locating some of these patterns, which depend only on subsets of the motion parameters, through a simple search technique, the 3-D motion parameters can be found. The proposed algorithmic procedure is very robust, since it is not affected by small perturbations in the normal flow measurements. As a matter of fact, since only the sign of the normal flow measurement is employed, the direction of translation and the axis of rotation can be estimated with up to 100% error in the image measurements.< >

The Third International Workshop on Medical Imaging and Augmented Reality, MIAR 2006, was held in Shanghai, China at the Regal International East Asia Hotel during August 17-18, 2006. The goal of MIAR 2006 was to bring together researchers in medical image computing and intervention to present the state-of-the-art devel- ments in this ever-growing research area. The meeting consisted of a single track of oral/poster presentations, with each session led by an invited lecture from our dist- guished international faculty members. For MIAR 2006, we received 87 full subm- sions, which were subsequently reviewed by up to 5 reviewers, resulting in the acc- tance of 45 full papers included in this volume. For this workshop, we also included four papers from the invited speakers covering shape modeling, fMRI analysis, and study of cerebral connectivity and plasticity. Running such a workshop requires dedication, and we appreciate the commitment of the MIAR 2006 Programme Committee and reviewers who worked to a tight de- line in putting together this workshop. We would also like to thank members of the local Organizing Committee, who have been working so hard behind the scenes to make MIAR 2006 a great success. It was our great pleasure to welcome this year’s MIAR attendees to Shanghai, which is the largest base of Chinese industrial technology, an important seaport and China's largest commercial and financial center.
