image sequence analysis involves 3D data. Consequently, we propose a new spatiotemporal global approach for image sequence processing where an image sequence is regarded as a 3D data flow. This approach is illustrated...

We propose a new texture-based page segmentation algorithm which automatically extracts the text, halftone, and line-drawing regions from input greyscale document images. This approach utilizes a neural network to train a set of masks which is optimal for discriminating the three main texture classes in the page segmentation problem: halftone, background, and text and line-drawing regions. The test and line-drawing regions are further discriminated based on connectivity analysis. We have applied the algorithm to successfully segment English and Chinese document images. We also demonstrate that the masks can perform language separation (English/Chinese) when appropriately trained.

While the view of constructive and hierarchical vision prevails, the issues of cooperation and competition among individual modules become crucial. These issues are directly related to one of the most important aspects in computer vision research: integration. A major source of difficulty in developing a consistent and systematic integration formalism is the heterogeneity existing in modules, in information, and in knowledge. The author exploits, using the central theme of grouping, the homogeneous characteristics in vision problem solving and proposes a general framework, called hierarchical token grouping, that facilitates vision problem solving by providing a consistent and systematic environment for integrating modules, cues, and knowledge, all in a globally coherent mechanism.< >

Presents an algorithm for image segmentation with irregular pyramids. Instead of starting with the original pixel grid, the authors first apply an adaptive Voronoi tessellation to the image. For irregular pyramid construction the authors present a Hopfield neural network which controls the decimation process. The validity of the authors' approach is demonstrated by several examples in image segmentation.

This paper addresses the issue of tracking tubular objects, particularly blood vessels from MR images. A model-based approach is adopted. The generalized stochastic tube (GST) model is developed which is an extension of our previously proposed (1993) generalized tube (GT) model. Transitions among adjacent tubes are explicitly parameterized. Integrated with a bivariate Gaussian density function adopted to model the blood flow within cross sections, the GST model is applied to tracking blood vessels in MRA volumetric data. Experimental results on both synthetic data with different degrees of Gaussian noise and real MRA data demonstrated that simultaneously utilizing both models yields robust performance under noisy conditions.
Many biological objects are elongated. This research addresses the issue of recognizing elongated objects from both 2D intensity images and 3D volumes. A mathematical model, called tube model, is developed for this cl...
