In this paper, we develop a method for the reconstruction of 3D coronary artery based on two perspective projections acquired on a standard single plane angiographic system in the same systole. Our reconstruction is based on the model of generalized cylinders, which are generated by sweeping a two-dimensional cross section along an axis in three-dimensional space. We restrict the cross section to be circular and always perpendicular to the tangent of the axis. Firstly, the vascular centerlines of the X-ray angiography images on both projections are semiautomatically extracted by multiscale vessel tracking using Gabor filters, and the radius of the coronary are also acquired simultaneously. Secondly, the relative geometry of the two projections is determined by the gantry information and 2D matching is realized through the epipolar geometry and the consistency of the vessels. Thirdly, we determine the three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of the identified object points from the image coordinates of the matched points and the calculated imaging system geometry. Finally, we link the consequent cross sections which are processed according to the radius and the direction information to obtain the 3D structure of the artery. The proposed 3D reconstruction method is validated on real data and is shown to perform robustly and accurately in the presence of noise.

Multisensor information plays an important pole in the target recognition and other application fields. Fusion performance is tightly depended on the fusion level selectes and the approach used. Feature level fusion is a potential and difficult fusion level. Bayesian fusion method is an important theory in feature level. A new method is presented to fuse infrared images and recognize object in the paper. Firstly,Bayesian principles, fusion mode and recognition decision function are described. Then, aiming at the features of mid-wave infrared image and long-wave infrared image, we use Bayesian probability to fuse them. Last, recognize target and background obtained with training and test pattern vectors. The experiment results show stability and feasibility of the fusion recognition using Bayesian decision theory in infrared image.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive fractional pixel search algorithm for reduction computation its load. Based on that SAD (sum of absolute difference) error surface is unimodal within the range of plusmn1 pixel, a novel fractional pixel search bypass strategy is first proposed; Then, a strategy of fractional pixel search early termination based on all-zero block detection is proposed. Finally, an adaptive fractional pixel search algorithm adopting above strategies and improved CBFPS (center biased fractional pixel search) algorithm is proposed. Compared with the fractional pixel full search algorithm and JVT-F017 that adopts CBFPS, simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce 76.60% and 68.22% fractional pixel search points respectively while it still maintains similar coding efficiency.

This paper presents a super performance bandgap voltage reference for DC-DC converter with adjustable output. it generates a wide range of voltage reference ranging from sub- 1V to 1,221 7 V and has a low temperature coefficient of 2.3 × 10 ^5/K over the temperature variation using the current feedback and resistive subdivision. In addition, the power supply rejection ration of the proposed bandgap voltage reference is 78 dB. When supply voltage varies from 2.5 V to 6 V, output VREF is 1,221 685±0.055 mV.

The purpose of this paper is to study spatiotemporal patterns of neuronal activity in emotional processing by analysis of ERP data. 108 pictures (categorized as positive, negative and neutral) were presented to 24 healthy, right-handed subjects while 128-channel EEG data were recorded. An analysis of two steps was applied to the ERP data. First, principal component analysis was performed to obtain significant ERP components. Then LORETA was applied to each component to localize their brain sources. The first six principal components were extracted, each of which showed different spatiotemporal patterns of neuronal activity. The results agree with other emotional study by fMRI or PET. The combination of PCA and LORETA can be used to analyze spatiotemporal patterns of ERP data in emotional processing.

This paper describes the scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) method for rapid preregistration of medical image. This technique originates from Lowe's method wherein preregistration is achieved by matching the corresponding keypoints between two images. The computational complexity has been reduced when we applied SIFT preregistration method before refined registration due to its O(n) exponential calculations. The features of SIFT are highly distinctive and invariant to image scaling and rotation, and partially invariant to change in illumination and contrast, it is robust and repeatable for cursorily matching two images. We also altered the descriptor so our method can deal with multimodality preregistration

Mutual information (MI) is an effective criterion for multi-modal image registration. However the traditional MI function only includes intensity information of images and lacks sufficient spatial information to accurately measure the degree of alignment of two images, and besides, it is apt to be influenced by intensity interpolation, therefore presents many local maxima which frequently lead to misregistration. Our paper proposes a criterion of adaptive combination of intensity and gradient field mutual information (ACMI). Unlike the intensity MI computed from two original images, the gradient field MI of two images is calculated from their gradient code maps (GCM) constructed by coding the gradient field information of corresponding original image. Because of their complementary properties, these two MI functions are combined to form ACMI by a nonlinear weight function which can be adaptively regulated according to their performances and make the better dominant in the combination. Experimental results demonstrate that the ACMI outperforms the traditional MI and furthermore the former is much less sensitive than the latter to the reduction of resolution or overlapped region of images
