This paper gives an overview of three different geometric active contour models with the focus on the application to carotid plaque detection from cross-sectional ultrasound images of the carotid artery. On one hand, basic principles of these geometric active contour models are presented. On the other hand, performance of these models are tested on 16 images and compared with the manual delineations.

This paper presents an algorithm to find the shortest path in 3D(three-dimensional) prostate surgery planning. Using a simplified delay pulse coupled neural network(S-DPCNN) model, a shortest path can be drawn automatically from the target position to the puncture point. Compared to the traditional pulse coupled neural network(PCNN), S-DPCNN needs much fewer neurons and therefore decreases complexity of computation. Experiments on computer simulations show the validity of this method.

A three dimensional transrectal ultrasound imaging system has been developed. The proposed system is aimed at monitoring for the prostate and providing three-dimensional ultrasound image for prostate biopsy and therapy. The device contains mechanical device and control circuit for the rotation of the probe. In addition, a two dimensional ultrasound machine for 2D ultrasound imaging is used and the software system for the reconstruction of three-dimensional ultrasound image based on PC is developed. Experiments are performed in phantom to validate our prototype. The 3D scan of the agar phantom produces minimal geometric distortion. In the future, our system will be tested on patients.

Fuzzy enhancement is applied in computer aided diagnosis of liver cancer from B mode ultrasound images as a pre-processing procedure in this paper. It was evaluated with three classifiers including K means, back propagation neural network and support vector machine using 25 features from first order statistic (FOS), gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), gray-level run-length matrix (GLRLM), Grey level dependant matrix (GLDM) and LAWS. In the analysis of 166 normal liver tissue, 30 hemangioma and 60 malignant tumor, our method improved the classification accuracy of three classifiers (K means, BP neural network and support machine vector) in distinguishing liver cancer, hemangioma and normal liver cancer from B mode ultrasound images. It is proved that fuzzy enhancement as an efficient preprocessing procedure could be used in the computer aided diagnosis system of liver cancer.

Although time of flight (TOF) cameras are becoming more popular, their low spatial resolution limits their usefulness. In this paper, we propose two new super-resolution methods to improve the resolution of depth maps generated by TOF cameras. One is based on the Lucas Kanade (LK) optical flow algorithm, and another is based on the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm. The results show that the proposed LK optical flow based method is more accurate and efficient in improving the spatial and depth resolution of depth maps than the proposed SIFT based method. It is more useful for real-time processing of depth images.

The general macroscopic examination of semen evaluation includes sperm density, concentration, motility and morphology. Among these general evaluations, the morphology assessment is widely considered to be one of the most important evaluations of male sperm characteristics. With the use of computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) techniques, more objective, accurate and precise outcomes of sperm morphology assessment can be obtained, comparing to manual methodology. In this article we will make a brief introduction to the common CASA techniques, commercial products and future work.

In this paper, a nonlinear chaotic system is presented, which is derived from the chua's circuit with a memristor. This is a four-dimensional autonomous circuit which exhibits chaotic behavior. The chaotic system is demonstrated by Lyapunov exponent, and phase portraits. Furthermore, this system can be stabilized by a switched feedback controller which can be obtained by solving a set of LMIs. And the results will be demonstrated by the numerical simulation.
