Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is a non-invasive technique for assessing biochemical fingerprint of tissue composition. The need to differentiate between normal and abnormal tissues and determine type of abnormality before biopsy or surgery motivated development and application of MRSI. There are several technical reasons that make the brain easier than other organs to be examined with MRSI. This work presents our proposed methods and results for the analysis of the brain spectra of patients with three tumor types (malignant glioma, astrocytoma, and oligodendroglioma). After extracting features from MRSI data using wavelet and wavelet packets, we use artificial neural networks to determine the abnormal spectra and the type of abnormality. We evaluated the proposed methods using clinical and simulated MRSI data and biopsy results. The MRSI analysis results were correct 97% of the time when classifying the spectra of the clinical MRSI data into normal tissue, tumor, and radiation necrosis. They were correct 72% and 83% of the time when determining tumor types using the clinical and simulated MRSI data, respectively.

This paper presents a fast and effective segmentation method for infrared image, based on fuzzy filtering, the criteria of maximum entropy and intelligent genetic algorithm. A fuzzy filter is applied to depress the Gaussian(-like) noise. Then we use the theory of maximum entropy to select the optimum threshold. A new intelligent genetic algorithm (IGA). which applies an intelligent crossover (IC) based on orthogonal arrays (OAS). is proposed to solve this optimal problem. Experiment results show that the proposed method can depress the Gaussian(-like) noise effectively, segment the infrared image properly, and is faster than the conventional genetic algorithm and exhaustive search, also is easier to implement on hardware.

A new method based on generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) for activation detection in multi-subject studies of functional MRI (fMRI) is proposed. In this method, we test the correlation between the fMRI time series of different subjects and the bases of a signal subspace which increases the flexibility of method in detecting different shapes of hemodynamic response. The proposed multivariate method can be applied to group studies where the conventional cross-correlation method cannot be used due to its univariate property. This method is applied to both experimental and simulated fMRI data and the results are compared to those of general linear model (GLM). We show that the proposed method detects more significant activated regions in analyzing experimental data and more true voxels in simulated data

For effective image segmentation methods, speed, accuracy and smoothness of the result are essential. In this paper, an iterative object segmentation approach is proposed based on minimal path theory. Each iterative step includes one morphological dilatation and one multi-label front propagation. A narrow band is obtained by dilating the current contour with the known size. A new contour is again formed by multi-label front propagation, which is based on minimal path theory. Its propagation speed is decided by the local image mean values together with the edge function. The final boundary is obtained automatically through finite iterations. This algorithm is a global optimization method. It is simple and fast with complexity O(N). The initial contour may be chosen freely. The multi-label front propagation guarantees continuity and smooth contours with the capability to handle topology changes. Furthermore, it is easy to extend to the 3D case. Some experimental results are also presented.

In conventional image matching methods, the image matching process is mostly based on image statistic information. One aspect neglected by all these methods is that there is much fuzzy information contained in these images. A new fuzzy matching algorithm based on fuzzy similarity for navigation is presented in this paper. Because the fuzzy theory is of the ability of making good description of the fuzzy information contained in images, the image matching method based on fuzzy similarity would look forward to producing good performance results. Experimental results using matching algorithm based on fuzzy information also demonstrate its reliability and practicability.

A novel evolutionary route planner for aircraft is proposed in this paper. In the new planner, individual candidates are evaluated with respect to the workspace, thus the computation of the configuration space is not required. By using problem-specific chromosome structure and genetic operators, the routes are generated in real time, with different mission constraints such as minimum route leg length and flying altitude, maximum turning angle, maximum climbing/diving angle and route distance constraint taken into account.

To simplify the mesh acquired from at hree-dimensional laser scanner, it is more important to keep the boundary and quality of the region of interest than of other regions. The algorithm must not be sensitive to noise introduced in practical applications. In this paper, we present a novel vertex merging mesh simplification algorithm based on region segmentation. The algorithm can be divided into two stages: segmentation and simplification. After the segmentation of the 3D color mesh into different regions, vertices are classed into a region-boundary vertex, which can only be merged into a region-boundary vertex in order to guarantee the completeness of the regions' boundary, and region-inner vertex. The iterative vertex merging is applied with a region-weighted error metric, which implements controllable simplifications. We demonstrate our method with several examples of a 3D color human head mesh.

image fusion refers to the techniques that integrate complementary information from multiple image sensor data such that the new images are more suitable for the purpose of human visual perception and the compute processing tasks. In this paper, a new image fusion algorithm based on wavelet packet transform to fuse multisensor images is presented. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) can offer a more precise way for image analysis, than other multi-resolution analysis. It decomposes an image into low frequency band and high frequency band in different level, and it can also be reconstructed gradually in different level. But this method only decomposes low frequency band in a higher scale, so that it omits some useful details of the images. In this paper, we present a new image fusion algorithm. In the algorithm, we use discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT) to decompose and reconstruct the images. When images are merged in wavelet packet space, different frequency ranges are processed differently. It can merge information from original images adequately and improve abilities of information analysis and feature extraction. This image fusion is performed at the pixel level. In this fusion algorithm, a feature-based fusion rule is used to combine original subimages and to form a pyramid for the fused image. Through merging remote sensing images from multi-sensor to a same object by applying method of wavelet packet analysis, we have obtained a fused picture. In this paper, mutual information is employed as a means of objective assessing image fusion performance. The experiment results show that this fusion algorithm, based on wavelet packet transform, is an effective approach in image fusion area.
