The first step for computer-aided diagnosis for liver of CT scans is the identification of liver region. To deal with multislice CT scans, automatic liver segmentation is required. In this paper, we propose a liver segmentation algorithm using hybrid techniques by combining morphological-based, region-based and histogram-based techniques to segment volumetric CT data. A morphological-based technique is used to find the initial liver tissue from the first slice which is set as a starting slice and region-based is used for further processing for the rest slices, which incorporates seed point generation from Euclidean distance transform (EDT) image on the previous slice for region growing on the current slice. In order to remove neighboring abdominal organs of the liver which connect to the liver organ, the histogram-based technique is used by finding the left and right histogram tail threshold (HTT) and we repeat the use of morphology filtering and large contour detecting for liver smoothing.

In this paper we propose a character segmentation method for multispectral images of ancient documents. Due to the low quality of the images the main idea of this study is to combine the multispectral behavior and contextual spatial information. Therefore we utilize a Markov random field model using the spectral information of the images and stroke properties to include spatial dependencies of the characters. Since the stroke properties and the Gaussian parameters for the imaging model are evaluated automatically the proposed segmentation method requires no training phase. We compared the method to state of the art character segmentation methods and demonstrate the effectiveness of combining spectral and spatial features for the segmentation of characters in multispectral images.

The study of the second order motion in biological vision is a new source of inspiration for algorithms and research directions in computer vision. In this paper, the second order motion can be divided into three typical group according to the modulation types: spatial modulate motion, temporal modulate motion and spatio-temporal modulate motion. Experiments are conducted on the first order motion perception based on correlation model and the second order motion perception by correlation model preceded with a nonlinear process called texture grabber. The computational results are consistent with the previous suggestion that the second order motions are processed by nonlinear system.

By analyzing the low level features of images only, skin detection in visual data cannot be solved. To compensate for this major drawback of many approaches, we combine a state of the art recognition algorithm with color model based skin detection. Detected faces in videos are the basis for adaptive skin-color models, which are propagated throughout the video, providing a more precise and accurate model in its recognition performance than pure color based approaches. The approach is able to run in real-time and does not need prior data-specific training. We received challenging online videos from an online service provider and use additional videos from public Web platforms covering a grand variety of different skin-colors, illumination circumstances, image quality and difficulty levels. In an extensive evaluation we estimated the best performing parameters and decide on the best model propagation techniques. We show that adaptive model propagation outperforms static low level detection.
