Estimation of objects in a 3D space is a fundamental problem in computer vision and robotics. This paper describes an algorithm and its implementation for a vision module as a sensor of a biped robot (YABIRO). The embedded vision sensor is able to estimate the position of objects like spheres in 3D space. Objects are defined with their size and color in a model. The vision sensor detects the positions or at least the directions to the objects and stores them in a history. The algorithm includes a new voting system for detected objects, based on how trustable the detection was, and a new edge filter to terminate edges on the circle border for the circle detection. The systems frame rate depends on the area of interest and lies between 5 Hz and 20 Hz. With a mechanical size of 36times32mm it is smaller than a matchbox

Brachytherapy is a minimally invasive interventional surgery used to treat prostate cancer. It is composed of three steps: dose pre-planning, implantation of radioactive seeds, and dose post-planning. In these procedures, it is crucial to determine the positions of needles and seeds, measure the volume of the prostate gland. Three-dimensional transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) imaging has been demonstrated to be a useful technique to perform such tasks. Compared to CT, MRI or X-ray imaging, US image suffers from low contrast, image speckle and shadows, making it challenging for segmentation of needles, the prostates and seeds in the 3D TRUS images. In this paper, we reviewed 3D TRUS image segmentation methods used in prostate brachytherapy including the segmentations of the needles, the prostate, as well as the seeds. Furthermore, some experimental results with agar phantom, turkey and chicken phantom, as well as the patient data are reported
A crucial step in volume rendering is the design of transfer functions that will highlight those aspects of the volume data that are of interest to the user. For many applications, Boundaries carry most of the relevan...

Based on the statistic and the fuzzy uncertainty information in an image, a new fuzzy information gain method was proposed to measure the distinctness between the object image and the reference image, which provides a new criterion for image matching or retrieval. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the new method.

Motivated by the requirements of the present archaeology, we are developing an automated system for archaeological classification and reconstruction of ceramics. This paper shows a method to answer archaeological questions about the manufacturing process of ancient ceramics, which is important to determine the technological advancement of ancient culture. The method is based on the estimation of the pro- file lines of ceramic fragments, which can also be applied to complete vessels. With the enhancements shown in this paper, archaeologists get a tool to determine ancient manufacturing techniques.

This paper provides an update to the January 2006 letter on "ambient intelligence", describing this year's achievements and the latest demonstration systems. The Ambient Intelligence Project (also known by the code name project Mushroom) aims to bridge the boundaries between technological fields and thus cover the entire field of communication science.

Open-dose by reconstruction is one of the most important algorithms in mathematical morphology, it was used widely in image and video processing, but it requires the huge computational power, what is the bottleneck for application. So in this paper, Cellular Neural Network (CNN) is used to solve the problem, new +1 template and "and" template are designed here, along with the already developed templates and image preprocessing technique, the gray-scale open-close by reconstruction is realized. Experimental results based on CNN simulator are shown, proved that the speed on CNN is about 300 times faster than in traditional PC, the real time processing can be realized.
