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.

In actual imaging process, the projection or silhouette of a three-dimensional moving object is variable in shape, scale and resolution to make its recognizability also unstable. A remedy is suggested on concepts defined in this paper as the dynamic feature space of the pattern. The necessity of developing feature models of multi-scale characteristic view for three-dimensional moving airplane objects and the rationality of using a usual constraint on airplane object moving characteristics are discussed. Thus, a novel multi-scale intelligent recursive recognizing (MUSIRR) method for image sequences is proposed. An intelligent recognizer composed of hybrid neural networks and logic decision-making modules is constructed with the BP neural networks and RBF networks as the building blocks of the recognizer. The rationality and effectiveness of the new method proposed in this paper have been verified by results of massive simulation and actual experiments on several types of airplane object.

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.

In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a powerful technique for the visualization of blood vessels in the human body. Blood vessel segmentation is a main problem for 3D vascular reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive thresholding method for the segmentation of DSA images. Each pixel of the DSA images is declared to be a vessel/background point with regard to a threshold and a few local characteristic limits depending on some information contained in the pixel neighborhood window. The size of the neighborhood window is set according to a priori knowledge of the diameter of vessels to make sure that each window contains the background definitely. Some experiments on cerebral DSA images are given, which show that our proposed method yields better results than global thresholding methods and some other local thresholding methods do.

In this paper, we propose to combine the spectral and texture features to compose the multi-feature vectors for the classification of multispectral remote sensing *** usually is difficult to obtain the higher classification accuracy if only considers one kind feature, especially for the case of different geographical objects have the same spectrum or texture specialty for a multispectral remote sensing *** spectral feature and the texture feature are composed together to form a new feature vector, which can represent the most effective features of the given remote sensing *** this way we can overcome shortcomings of only using the single feature and raise the classification *** system classification performance with composed feature vector is investigated by *** analysis of results we can learn how to combine the multi-feature vector can obtain a higher classification rate, and experiments proved that the proposed method is feasible and useful in multispectral remote sensing image classification study.
