The authors carry out tests with two readily available automated matching algorithms in their application to (a) Magellan SAR stereo images, and (b) ERS-1 and X-SAR real-simulated images. The match points are examined visually, and an accuracy analysis on Magellan data is performed by comparison with manual measurements.

Photonic mixer devices (PMDs) are able to create reliable depth maps of indoor environments. Yet, their application in mobile robotics, especially in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) applications, is hampered by the limited field of view. Enhancing the field of view by optical devices is not trivial, because the active light source and the sensor rays need to be redirected in a defined manner. In this work we propose an omnidirectional PMD sensor which is well suited for indoor SLAM and easy to calibrate. Using a single sensor and multiple planar mirrors, we are able to reliably navigate in indoor environments to create geometrically consistent maps, even on optically difficult surfaces.

The relationship between the recognition rate of handwritten numerals and the normality of the distribution of their features has been investigated experimentally with a large amount of data in various combinations of quantized orientations and regions. The recognition method is based on the histogram of local orientation of contours of each numeral. To obtain a more accurate orientation quantization, the effectiveness of the orientation quantization using the gray-scale gradient has also been investigated. The results show that: (1) to increase the dimensionality of features, it is better to increase the number of quantized orientations, keeping the number of regions small (e.g., 4 x 4 or 5 x 5);(2) in the same dimensionality, the better the normality of a feature distribution, the higher the recognition rate;(3) a quantization of orientations using gray scales is effective for normalizing a feature distribution;and (4) the filter processing in reduction of the number of quantization scales improves the normality and recognition rate. The recognition of handwritten numerals collected from actual posts were carried out by using the gray-scale local-orientation histogram (400 dimensions). A correct recognition rate of 99.18 percent (mean value) has been obtained.
The popular formulas currently used to evaluate the similarity of digital watermarks have serious drawbacks: when the similarity degree is 1, the watermarks are not unique. This paper firstly analyze the drawbacks in ...

Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) is increasingly being introduced in the clinic, both for diagnostics and image guidance. Obtaining 3D volumes with 2D US probes is a two-step process. First, a positioning sensor must be attached to the probe;second, a reconstruction of a 3D volume can be performed into a regular voxel grid. Various algorithms have been used for performing 3D reconstruction based on 2D images. In this paper, we propose a new Hole-filling algorithm using Distance Weight interpolation, and we also apply it to generate the volume in our image-guided for surgical robot. First, the ultrasound frames and position information are compounded into a 3D volume using the Bin-filling method. Then, the Hole-filling method is used to repair gaps in the volume. We define the empty voxels by sorting the neighboring voxels into three parts, and averaging them to obtain the value to fill the empty voxels according to distance weighted. The empty voxel estimation can be improved by thresholding the range width of its neighboring voxels and adjusting it to the average values. The method is tested on a Hole-manipulated volume derived from a cropped 3D ultrasound volume of chicken kidney. Our method shows improved result compared to several tested existing methods, including voxel nearest neighbour(VNN) and spline function interpolation.
