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 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.

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.

A novel reconfigurable hardware system which uses both multi-DSP and FPGA to attain high performance and real-time image processing are presented. The system structure and working principle of mainly processing multi-DSP board, extended multi-DSP board are analysed. The outstanding advantage is that the communication among different board components of this system is supported by high speed link ports & serial ports for increasing the system performance and computational power. Then the implementation of embedded real-time operating systems (RTOS) by us is discussed in detail. In this system, we adopt two kinds of parallel structures controlled by RTOS for parallel processing of algorithms. The experimental results show that exploitive period of the system is short, and maintenance *** it is suitable for real-time image processing and can get satisfactory effect of image recognition.

A method used for recognition and understanding of airfield based on mathematical morphology is proposed in this paper. The new approach can he divided into three steps. First, to extract the typical geometric structure features of airfield, a segmentation method called recursive Otsu algorithm is employed on an airfield image. Second, thinning and shrinking algorithms are utilized to obtain the contour of airfield with single pixel and to remove diffused small particles. Finally, Radon transform is adopted to extract two typical and important components, primary and secondary runways of airfield exactly. At the same time, region growing algorithm is exploited to get the other components such as parking apron and garages. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method gives good performance.
