Surface integrity of 3D medical imaging is crucial for surgery simulation or virtual diagnoses. However, undesirable holes often exist due to external damage on bodies or accessibility limitation on scanners. To bridge the gap, the paper proposes an algorithm of filling holes for 3D medical image data based on moving least squares (MLS) method. In the algorithm, medical data is classified into two types and procedure is designed according to the classification. The procedure consists of two steps, namely hole detection and hole completion. In completion part, the detected hole can be automatically filled by interpolation with known surrounding points. Moreover, a threshold is used to constrain the density of the completed surface, so the sampling rate on reconstructed area complies with the original data. We test our algorithm on two types of medical data and the results indicate a robust solution.

This paper addresses a method for 3D human motion tracking and voxel-based reconstruction from sparse views. We adopt the annealed Gaussian based particle swarm optimization (AGPSO) for 3D human motion tracking. The AGPSO algorithm incorporates the temporal continuity information into the traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm under a Bayesian framework. In the online tracking process, the state variables are estimated via the particle filtering, where the observation is designed as a minimized Markov Random Field (MRF) energy. Finally, voxel reconstruction is conducted using the skeleton shape prior via dynamic graph cut. The experimental results show that our method performs promisingly against the cluttered background and generates plausible voxel reconstructions from sparse views.

An approach for head pose estimation has been proposed in this paper using Hough forest. The estimation of pose are generated by voting from image patches as in a Hough transform. The basic idea is that image patches which contain eyes, hair or neck can give rich information about the head position and orientation. The voting process is implemented by randomized forest which is an efficient and robust tool for classification and regression. The method is quantitatively evaluated by comparing the estimated pose to the ground truth.

Although scene classification has been studied for decades, indoor scene recognition remains challenging due to its large view point variance and massive irregular artefacts. In fact, most existing methods for outdoor scene classification perform poorly in the indoor situation. To address the problem, we propose a hybrid image representation by combining the global information with the local structure of the scene. First, the global discriminative information is captured by pyramid GIST feature. Second, the local structure is encoded by the bag of features method with Histogram Intersection Kernel (HIK). Finally, HIK based SVM is employed for learning and classification. Experiments on the MIT indoor scene database show that our approach could significantly improve the recognition accuracy of the state-of-art methods by about 14%.

Conotoxins show prospects for being potent pharmaceuticals in the treatment of some serious disease. Accurate prediction of conotoxin superfamily would have many important applications in biological research and clinical medicine. In this study, we propose a novel dHKNN method to predict conotoxin superfamily. Firstly, we extract the protein's sequential features composed of physicochemical properties, evolutionary information, predicted secondary structures and amino acid composition. Then we use the diffusion maps for dimensionality *** last, with considering the local density information in the diffusion space, the dHKNN is proposed based on the K-local hyperplane distance nearest neighbor subspace classifier method for predicting conotoxin superfamilies. An overall accuracy of 91.90% is obtained through the jackknife cross-validation test which is higher than present methods.

De-noising algorithms for volume CT are proposed based on the correlation of the cone beam (CB) CT projections. The main idea is: when the correlated pixels among the neighboring views are added together according to this projection correlation (PC), the signal will be retained, whereas the noise variance upon them will be reduced by this averaging process, because the signal obeys this correlation but noise not. PC based filtering (PCF) method is developed. PCF is further integrated as PC based penalty weighted least square (PC-PWLS) method. Validations are performed for two volume scans: one is ideal low-dose case, and the other considers the high-frequency scatter residues after scatter correction. By using the proposed methods, significant noise suppressing is illustrated; meanwhile, the spatial resolution can be well preserved. For the low dose scan, SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) increases are around 14 dB. For the cone beam scan with high frequency scatter residues, an effect approaching to the fan-beam scan is achieved.

This paper addresses a strategy for 3D human motion recovery from monocular image. We advocate the use of Gaussian Process Dynamical Model (GPDM) for learning human pose and motion priors for 3D people tracking. With the prior learned from GPDM, we integrate our approach into a Bayesian tracking framework of condensation. During the off-line training step, a GPDM provides the reversible mappings between low-dimensional latent space and high-dimensional pose space, and then in the online tracking process, the latent variables are estimated via the particle filtering, and the observation is designed as a energy function based on a Markov Random Field (MRF) theory. The proposed approach is demonstrated on our database, and the experimental results show that our method performs promisingly.

Saliency mechanism has been considered crucial in the human visual system and helpful to object detection and recognition. This paper addresses a novel feature-based model for visual saliency detection. It consists of two steps: first, using the learned overcomplete sparse bases to represent image patches; and then, estimating saliency information via direct low-rank and sparsity matrix decomposition. We compare our model with the previous methods on natural images. Experimental results show that our model performs competitively for visual saliency detection task, and suggest the potential application of matrix decomposition and convex optimization for image analysis.

By introducing a novel membership constraint function, a new algorithm called fuzzy c-means switching regression model with generalized improved fuzzy partitions (GIFP-FCRM) is proposed. This algorithm seems less sensitive to noise and outliers than the classical fuzzy C switching regression model (FCRM), and provides a generalized model with the fuzziness index m for the fuzzy C switching regression model with improved fuzzy partitions (IFP-FCRM). Furthermore, with fuzzy parameter α, the classical FCRM and IFP-FCRM can be taken as two special cases of the proposed algorithm. Several experimental results are presented to demonstrate its advantage over FCRM in both noise insensitivity and robustness capability.
