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.

The covariance analysis of linear predictive coding has wide applications, especially in speech recognition and speech signal processing. Real-time applications demand very high processing speed for linear predictive coding analysis. VLSI technology which possesses properties of low-cost, high-speed and massive computing capabilities is a suitable candidate. In this paper, systolic array processors for the covariance analysis of linear predictive coding are developed. The covariance analysis of linear predictive coding contains a large set of irregular and nested recurrence equations. Systolizing the algorithm is a difficult task for such a complex problem, Existing methods of systematic design for systolic arrays are not much helpful to this problem. To overcome it, a break-combination method is presented in this paper. In this manner, the task is first decomposed and then mapped onto several interconnected systolic arrays. The resulting systolic arrays of the sub problems are then combined to form a complete solution.

The issue of recognizing 3D elongated objects from 2D intensity images is addressed. A tube model, locally similar to generalized cones, is developed for the class of elongated objects. A recognition strategy that combines 2D contour properties and surface shading information is used to exploit the power of the 3D model. Reliable contours provide constraints for localizing the objects of interest. The theory of optimal filters is adopted in verifying the shading of hypothesized objects. Object recognition is achieved through optimizing the signal-to-noise response with respect to model parameters. A sweeping operation is proposed as a further stage of identifying objects so that the overall performance of the system does not heavily rely on the quality of local feature detection.< >

Recently, several nonlinear shape normalization methods have been proposed in order to compensate for shape distortions in large-set handwritten characters. The authors review these methods from the two points of view: feature projection and feature density equalization. The former makes a feature projection histogram by projecting a certain feature at each point into horizontal- or vertical-axis and the latter equalizes the feature densities of input image by re-sampling the feature projection histogram. Then, a quantitative evaluation for these methods has been made based on the following criteria: recognition rate, processing speed, computational complexity, and degree of variation.< >

As a result of its central role in the preprocessing of image patterns, or because of its intrinsic appeal, the design of skeletonization algorithms has been a very active research area. However, few attempts have been made to evaluate the performance of different skeletonization algorithms. This paper presents the results of experiments to evaluate the performance of 20 skeletonization algorithms previously published in the literature. These algorithms have been implemented on the SUN 3/60 workstation in C and tested with a large variety of character patterns. A systematic comparison of these algorithms has been made based on the following criteria: reconstructibility, computation speed, similarity to the reference skeleton, quality of the skeleton, connectivity after skeletonization, and the degree of parallelism.
