We propose a novel framework for automatic image segmentation. In this approach, a mixture of several over-segmentation methods are used to produce superpixels and then aggregation is achieved using a cluster ensemble...

The general single image super-resolution methods mainly extract features from the high-resolution (HR) space by the pre-upscaling step at the beginning of the network or from the low-resolution (LR) space before the post-upscaling step at the end of the network. The former way requires high computation as well as misleading the network by wrong artificial priors. The latter way cannot learn mapping well by only conducting simple operations in HR space. In this paper, we aim to utilize the features from LR and HR space more efficiently and propose the novel network, which applies a frequency-slicing mechanism to divide features into LR and HR space, a direction-aware fusion residual group to extract distinctive features in LR space and an attention fusion module to recalibrate features in HR space. The experimental results demonstrate that our model is superior to the state-of-the-art methods upon quantitative metrics and visual quality.

A quick 3D needle segmentation algorithm for 3D US data is described in this paper. The algorithm includes the 3D quick randomized Hough transform (3DGHT), which is based on the 3D randomized Hough transform and coarse-fine searching strategy. We tested it with water phantom. The results show that our algorithm works well in 3D US images with angular deviation less than 1 degree and position deviation less than 1 mm, and the computational time of segmentation with 35 MB data is within 1s.

In order to solve the problem of image degradation caused by dust environments, an image degradation model considering multiple scattering factors caused by dust was first established using the first-order multiple scattering method. Then, a dark channel prior principle was applied to present an image restoration algorithm based on the image degradation model. Finally, a particle swarm optimization algorithm was applied to optimize the atmospheric light and the exposure parameters. This optimization algorithm was established according to the criterion of the image evaluation based on kirsch operator with dual threshold. By using the method an optimistic result of image restoration was obtained. The experimental results have shown that the method not only enhanced luminance and contrast, but also discovered more detail edges information. The method provided a foundation for target recognition in the dust environments.

The technologies of intra prediction and MBAFF were introduced, and a new intra prediction mode based on the characteristics of spatial distribution in interlaced video was proposed. The spatial correlation of five luma intra prediction modes in AVS-P2 and the new mode were analyzed. From the analysis result, it can be concluded that the new mode can exploit the spatial correlation better and predict the samples more precisely than the existed ones. The experimental results showed that the average gain in peak signal to noise ratio was above 0.12dB and the average reduction in bit-rate was above 1.77%, so the proposed mode is an effective prediction mode for improvement of coding performance.

Stroke and heart attack, which could be led by a kind of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease named asatherosclerosis, would seriously cause human morbidity and mortality. And the carotid artery of intima-media thickness (IMT) is a key indicator to the disease. With the development of computer assisted diagnosis (CAD) technology, Ultrasound imaging, being real-time, economic, reliable, safe, and now seems to become a standard in vascular assessment methodology especially for the measurement of IMT. This review is an attempt to discuss the clinical relevance of measurements in clinical practice at first, and then followed by the challenges that one has to face when approaching the segmentation of ultrasound images. Secondly, the paper is presentation of common used methods for the IMT segmentation and measurement. An overview of summary and future perspectives is given in conclusion finally.
The recent success of text-to-image generation diffusion models has also revolutionized semantic image editing, enabling the manipulation of images based on query/target texts. Despite these advancements, a significan...

A hybrid method is used to evaluate atherosclerosis through a mathematical morphology approach and GVF-Snake method. Common carotid artery (CCA) segmentation requires outlining the intima and adventitia contours on the transverse view of B-mode ultrasound (US) images. The lumen and adventitia contours are segmented using a morphology and GVF-Snake methods, respectively. Upon analyzing ten separate patient data sets demonstrate that a comparison between the proposed method and the traditional approach (manual contouring) on 110 transverse images of the CCA showed a mean absolute distance (MAD) of 0.67±0.17mm for lumen and 0.64 ± 0.19mm for adventitia. Their Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) values are 92.7%±2.3% and 90.3%±3.5% for lumen and adventitia segmentation, respectively. These values are in good agreement with clinical standards.
