In the field of cranio-maxillofacial surgery, there is a huge demand from surgeons to be able to automatically predict the post-operative face appearance in terms of a pre-specified bone-remodeling plan. Collision detection is a promising means to achieve this simulation. In this paper, therefore, an efficient collision detection method based on a new 3D signed distance field algorithm is proposed to accurately detect the contact positions and compute the penetration depth with the moving of the bones in the simulation, and thus the contact force between the bones and the soft tissues can be estimated using penalty methods. Thereafter, a nonlinear finite element model is employed to compute the deformation of the soft tissue model. The performance of the proposed collision detection algorithm has been improved in memory requirements and computational efficiency against the conventional methods. In addition, the proposed approach has the superior convergence characteristics against other methods. Therefore, the usage of the collision detection method can effectively assist surgeons in automatically predicting the pos-operative face outline.

Based on the mean field Monte Carlo (MFMC) algorithm, an improved one for multiple infrared targets tracking on basis of particle filter was proposed. In this new algorithm, Mean-Shift is integrated in the sampling of particles in MFMC, so before the weighting of particles, Mean-Shift will move them to the place where reaches maximum similarity and then the effectiveness of particles is greatly improved. This algorithm also revises the mechanism for message assessment in MFMC with the consideration of the sizes of targets, and it improves the self-adaptability of the mechanism. The experimental results show that this new algorithm is more robust, accurate and efficient than MFMC. It can effectively solve the issue of multiple infrared targets tracking.

Palmprint has been widely studied as its high accuracy and low cost. Most of the previous studies are based on two dimensional (2D) image of the palmprint. However, 2D image can be easily forged, which will threaten the security of palmprint authentication system. Furthermore, 2D image can be easily affected by noise, such as scrabbling and dirty in the palm. To overcome these shortcomings, we develop a three dimensional (3D) palmprint identification system. The structured-light imaging technology is adopted to collect the 3D palmprint data, from which the stable mean curvature image (MCI) is extracted. Then the competitive coding (CompCode) technique is used to code the 3D palmprint pattern according the MCI. By using score level fusion of MCI and its CompCode, promising recognition performance is achieved on our established 3D palmprint database.

image alignment is a crucial step in palmprint verification. However, most of the existing palmprint alignment methods use only some key points between fingers or in palm boundary to extract the region of interest (ROI), which is consequently used for feature extraction and matching. Such alignment methods can only give a coarse alignment of the palmprint images. This paper presents a new effective refinement method for palmprint alignment by adapting the iterative closest point (ICP) method to the palmprint principal lines. The proposed method offers a more accurate alignment of palmprints by correcting efficiently the shifting, rotation and scaling variations introduced in data acquisition. The experimental results show that the proposed method can greatly improve the palmprint verification accuracy in real time.

A novel approach to face recognition based on the common vector combined with 2-dimensional principal component analysis (2DPCA) is proposed in this paper. The common vector of one class is obtained by face images of the class processed by the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization to represent the common invariant properties of the class. recognition results are obtained by 2DPCA procedure and distance test of the difference vectors between the original image and the common vector of the class. Experiments are performed on ORL and Yale face databases and the results indicate that the proposed approach achieves good recognition results.

Human matching between different fields of view is a difficult problem in intelligent video surveillance; whereas fusing multiple features has become a strong tool to solve it. In order to guide the fusion scheme, it is necessary to evaluate the matching performance of these features. In this paper, four typical features are chosen for the evaluation. They are the color histogram, UV chromaticity, major color spectrum histogram, and scale-invariant features (SIFT). Quantities of video data are collected to test their general accuracy, robustness, and real-time applicability. The robustness is measured under the conditions of illumination changes, Gaussian and salt noises,foreground errors, resolution changes, and camera angle differences. The experimental results show that the four features bear distinctive performances under the different conditions, which will provide important references for the feature fusion methods.

This paper presents a novel method for assisting surgeons in automatically computing an optimal surgical plan by directly specifying the desired correction to a facial outline. First, the desired facial appearance is prescribed using a 3D sculpturing tool, while the cut regions of the skull are defined based on facial anatomy. Then, the deformation of the face meshes is performed using an improved biomechanical model in which virtual external forces are driven by the displacements corresponding to the differences of node coordinates between the original and specified face meshes, and free nodes and fixed nodes are defined in terms of the contact surfaces between the soft tissues and the bones within the cut regions. Finally, the shape of the contact surfaces is updated following the deformation of the soft tissues. After registering the deformable contact surfaces and the cut surfaces, the final positions of the cut bones are estimated. Evaluation of preliminary experimental results quantitatively demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Simulating the soft tissue deformation based on bone-related planning is one of the most difficult issues in generating realistic motion of soft tissues. The difficulty of this problem arises from unclear boundary conditions. In facial soft tissue deformation, the boundary conditions of the finite element modeling are related to the bone movements. In order to better map the bone movements to the soft tissue model, a fast and robust computational strategy for boundary conditions is presented in this paper. First, a collision detection algorithm is employed to query contact position after repositioning of bones. Then, an improved 3D discrete distance field algorithm is proposed to perform imposed displacement computation of contact vertices. Finally, boundary conditions are calculated in terms of the imposed displacements. This approach can automatically handle boundary conditions of the complex geometrical modeling without prior assumption or knowledge about the position of contacts. The effectiveness of our method is demonstrated on complex soft tissue deformation.

According to the drawback of the traditional circle target extraction algorithm used by Hough Transform, such as computation complexity, low efficiency and etc, an new circle target extraction algorithm is proposed in this paper which can extract multiple circle targets with different radius at one time. First, the Average Absolute Difference is implemented to enhance the edge of the circle targets and suppress the noise of the background; Second, the locally self-adaptive segmentation algorithm is implemented to obtain the binary image. Thirdly, the thinning algorithm is implanted to obtain the single pixel edge of the circle targets and in order to reduce the computation times in the following process, a pruning algorithm is necessary; finally, a modified Hough transform algorithm is proposed to obtain the circle targets. The new circle targets have three advantages: low time consuming, high detection rate, robust to noise and fragmentary boundaries. The experimental results demonstrate that the new algorithm can extract the multiple circle targets quickly and accurately.
