Vessel segmentation is the base of 3d reconstruction of Digital Subtraction Angiograph (DSA) images. This paper proposes a framework of adaptive local thresholding based on a verification-based approach for vessel segmentation of DSA images. The original DSA image is firstly divided into overlapping subimages according to a priori knowledge of the diameter of vessels. We implement a hypothesis test to determine whether each subimage contains vessels and then choose an optimal threshold respectively for every subimage previously determined to contain vessels, with a secondary verification process to exclude the condition that the subregion only containing the background but misclassified as one containing vessels by the hypothesis test. Finally an overall binarization of the original image is achieved by combining the thresholded subimages. Experiments demonstrate superior performance over global thresholding and some adaptive local thresholding methods.

A novel approach to compute all four types of Discrete W transform (DWT) is proposed. By using kernel transforms and Taylor expansions, a DWT is approximated by a linear sum of discrete moments. This enables us to use computational techniques developed for computing moments to compute DWTs efficiently. The amount of multiplications used in our method is O(N log(2) N/ log(2) log(2) N) and is superior to the O(N log(2) N) in the conventional DWT. The proposed algorithm achieves a simple computational structure and naturally deals with any sequence lengths.

Efficient VLSI architectures for multi-dimensional (m-D) discrete wavelet transform (DWT), e.g. m=2, 3, are presented, in which the lifting scheme of DWT is used to reduce efficiently hardware complexity. The parallelism of 2 m subbands transforms in lifting-based m-D DWT is explored, which increases efficiently the throughput rate of separable m-D DWT. The proposed architecture is composed of m2m-1 1-D DWT modules working in parallel and pipelined, which is designed to process 2m input samples per clock cycle, and generate 2m subbands coefficients synchronously. The total time of computing one level of decomposition for a 2-D image (3-D image sequence) of size N2 (MN2) is approximately N2/4 (MN2/8) intra- clock cycles (ccs). An efficient line-based architecture framework for both 2D+t and t+2D 3-D DWT is first proposed. Compared with the similar works reported in previous literature, the proposed architecture has good performance in terms of production of computation time and hardware cost. The proposed architecture is simple, regular, scalable and well suited for VLSI implementation.

Walsh-Haar function system that was first intruoduced by us is a new kind of function systems, and has a good global/local property. This function system is called Walsh ordering function system since its generation kernel functions belong to Walsh ordering Walsh function system. We worked out a recursive property of the matrix WHKRm+1 corresponding to the first KR m+1 Walsh-Haar functions in Walsh-Haar function system, and we also proved that Walsh-Haar function system is perfect and orthogonal similar to Walsh function system and Haar function system. Thus, discrete Walsh-Haar transformation (DW-HT) is an orthogonal transformation that can be widely used in signal processing. In this paper, using the recursive property of the matrix WHKRm+1 and the fast algorithm of discrete Walsh transformation (DWT) in Walsh ordering, we have designed a fast algorithm of Walsh ordering DW-HT based on the bisection technique. The idea and method used in this paper can be used for designing fast algorithms of other ordering DW-HTs and other discrete orthogonal transformations.
