The capacity for walking is an important assessment to reflect the ability about how the patients who have movement disorders to control their lower limbs. Electroencephalography (EEC), which can describe brain activities, has been widely used in the field of neural engineering. The present study investigates 2D scalp topography mapping while the subjects perform gait-like movements with the assistance of a dynamic tilt table. Based on the result, we concluded that the motor function and the most nerve circuit of lower limbs in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients in level D are as normal as healthy human.

As we know, a novel adaptive visual servoing strategy has been proposed for the control of robot manipulators with an eye-in-hand configuration, where an adaptive law is used to estimate the unknown parameters determined by the products of the unknown 3D coordinates and the unknown camera parameters. From a practical point of view, in this paper, we propose a novel strategy for the estimation of these two types of unknown parameters. The new strategy is very useful in that it can reduce the number of the unknown parameters to be estimated. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method, preliminary simulation results based on a two-link planar robot manipulator are presented in this paper.

In Ultrasound imaging, speckle noise is the most serious problem which affects the performance of images. Non-local mean filter is a nice method to remove the speckle noise, but the algorithm' computational complexity makes it's a highly time-consuming method. In many applications like image-guided surgical intervention, real-time de-noising is required. This paper implements a NLM method accelerated by GPU for real-time denoising of 3D ultrasound images. The experimental results show the proposed accelerated de-noising method is efficient in terms of denoising quality and real-time.

In this paper, a third-order canonical circuit with a memristor is investigated. Unlike the conventional circuit systems, it has an equilibrium set, whose stability is affected by the initial state of the memristor. The corresponding dynamical behaviors of the memristor are illustrated both theoretically and numerically.

The data acquisition of 3D-Ultrasound includes array scan and mechanical scan, and the later one is more easy to realize. Currently, the traditional probe scanning mode is Front-end scanning. Under the above scanning mode, when it scans over the breast, 2D-Ultrasound probe slides through the surface of the patients' bodies, the image will be influenced strongly by the human *** this paper we propose a new scanning mode to solve the above problem: Back-End scan, the back end rotates while the front end contacts the patients' skin without slide. The device designed using dual stepper motors which are under the synchronization control. Experiment results show the effectiveness of the proposed device.

Dynamic focus and dynamic aperture applied on both transmit and receive aperture can provide the best possible quality of the B-mode ultrasound image, which is called a "gold standard" image. However, they are implemented only on the receive beam in most medical ultrasound systems because the application of dynamic focus on the transmit beam will reduce the frame rate severely, which has great medical importance especially when tissue motion needs to be considered. Recently, a specific transmit aperture function has been proposed to achieve uniform transmit energy distribution on the axis over a large depth without reducing the frame rate. Although it can maintain the uniformity of the transmit energy on the axis, the energy distribution off the axis of the transmit beam is not satisfactory, meaning a wider main lobe width and higher side lobe levels compared with some general aperture functions such as rectangular and hamming functions. To suppress the interference signals originating from the targets on the side and grating lobes, we processed the received echo signals using the phase coherence imaging method (PCI), which is an adaptive receive aperture weighting technique presented in the recent literatures. Experimental results show that the uniform sensitivity along the axis range has been achieved and image quality on spatial and contrast resolution improved when we use the transmit aperture function combined with PCI.

The intersecting cortical model(ICM) is driven from the pulse-coupled neural networks (PCNN), and a lot of works have been done on it. In this paper, we have proposed a method, which is modified from the PCNN, to retrieval the image. This method uses the iteration times of the ICM as the feature, and we do it repeatedly. So we will get the feature vectors and utilize the features to retrieval the image. And the experimental results have proved the effectiveness of the proposed method. While the proposed method shows some advantages like the feature curves are linear and steady.

Traditional image matching algorithm based on gray correlation provides accurate results but it is time-consuming because of large amount of calculation. An improved gray correlation based image matching algorithm based on multi-core DSP is proposed to speed up the matching velocity with the acceptable margin of errors. With the development of portable embedded image processer, especially the multi-core DSPs for parallel computing to speed up the process, these image matching algorithms need to be transplanted to these embedded system. Experiments based on CPU in the form of Visual C++6.0 application program and multi-core Digital Signal Processor(DSP) verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, making it applicable to embedded imageprocessing system with a multi-core DSP.

This paper gives an overview of three different geometric active contour models with the focus on the application to carotid plaque detection from cross-sectional ultrasound images of the carotid artery. On one hand, basic principles of these geometric active contour models are presented. On the other hand, performance of these models are tested on 16 images and compared with the manual delineations.
