This paper presents a new approach to automated muscle fiber analysis based on segmenting myofibers with combined region and edge-based active contours. It provides reliable and fully-automated processing, thus, enabling time-saving batch processing of the entire biopsy sample stemming from routinely HE-stained cryostat sections. The method combines color, texture, and edge cues in a level set based active contour model succeeded by a refinement with morphological filters. Falsepositive segmentations as compared to former methods are minimized. A quantitative comparison between manual and automated analysis of muscle fibers images did not reveal any significant differences. We gratefully acknowledge partial funding by the DFG.

This paper deals with a quadratic classifier based scheme for the recognition of off-line handwritten numerals of Kannada, an important Indian script. The features used in the classifier are obtained from the directional chain code information of the contour points of the characters. The bounding box of a character is segmented into blocks and the chain code histogram is computed in each of the blocks. Here we have used 64 dimensional and 100 dimensional features for a comparative study on the recognition accuracy of our proposed system. This chain code features are fed to the quadratic classifier for recognition. We tested our scheme on 2300 data samples and obtained 97.87% and 98.45% recognition accuracy using 64 dimensional and 100 dimensional features respectively, from the proposed scheme using five-fold cross-validation technique.

In this paper, we apply a multiple regression method based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to face data modelling. CCA is a factor analysis method which exploits the correlation between two high dimensional signals. We first use CCA to perform 3D face reconstruction and in a separate application we predict near-infrared (NIR) face texture. In both cases, the input data are color (RGB) face images. Experiments show, that due to the correlation between input and output signal, only a small number of canonical factors are needed to describe the functional relation of RGB images to the respective output (NIR images and 3D depth maps) with reasonable accuracy

Car plate detection is a key component in automatic license plate recognition system. This paper adopts an enhanced cascaded tree style learner framework for car plate detection using the hybrid object features including the simple statistical features and Harr-like features. The statistical features are useful for simplifying the process on cascade classifier. The cascaded tree-style detector design will further reduce the false alarm and the false dismissal while retaining a high detection ratio. The experimental results obtained by the proposed algorithm exhibit the encouraging performance.

In this paper active feature models are proposed. They utilize local texture features and a statistical shape model for the reliable localization of landmarks in images. They are related to active appearance models, but instead of modelling the entire texture of an object they represent image texture by means of local descriptors. The approach has advantages with complex image data like anatomical structures that exhibit high texture variation with limited relevance for the recognition of the object location. Experimental results and the comparison to AAMs on different data sets indicate that active feature models can improve search speed and result accuracy, considerably

This paper presents a method for the fully automatic surveying of cutaneous hemangiomas by means of a hemangioma segmentation and a ruler visible in the images. The algorithm computes the spatial resolution of an image. Hemangioma segmentation is accomplished by a single-layer perceptron classification by means of pixel color features. The algorithm was evaluated on a set of 120 images. It achieves satisfactory results on images with clearly visible, saturated hemangiomas
