In this study we analyze texture and profile features of painted strokes in order to identify the drawing media used for sketching underdrawings. Underdrawings are preliminary drawings on the panel prepared for paintings and are unseen in the finished work. Cameras working in the near infrared range allow the visualization of underdrawings. Due to the tiny width of the strokes we perform an alignment of the feature extraction windows in order to obtain a major content of the stroke texture. The method is tested on strokes applied on test panels and underdrawing strokes in IR images of medieval paintings

Most of the existing work regarding topology preserving hierarchies is mainly preoccupied with 2D domains. But recently attention has turned to 3D, and more generally, nD representations. Even more than in 2D, the necessity for reducing these representations exists and motivates the research in hierarchical structures i.e. pyramids. Using representations that support any dimension, like e.g. the combinatorial map, n dimensional irregular pyramids can be built, thus obtaining reduced representations of the original data, while preserving the topology. This paper presents 3D combinatorial maps and the primitive operations needed to simplify such representations. Minimal configurations of the three primitive topological configurations, simplex, hole, and tunnel, and two possible configurations for two tori are presented. Experimental results and possible applications show the potential of the approach

In this paper, we develop a method for the reconstruction of 3D coronary artery based on two perspective projections acquired on a standard single plane angiographic system in the same systole. Our reconstruction is based on the model of generalized cylinders, which are generated by sweeping a two-dimensional cross section along an axis in three-dimensional space. We restrict the cross section to be circular and always perpendicular to the tangent of the axis. Firstly, the vascular centerlines of the X-ray angiography images on both projections are semiautomatically extracted by multiscale vessel tracking using Gabor filters, and the radius of the coronary are also acquired simultaneously. Secondly, the relative geometry of the two projections is determined by the gantry information and 2D matching is realized through the epipolar geometry and the consistency of the vessels. Thirdly, we determine the three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of the identified object points from the image coordinates of the matched points and the calculated imaging system geometry. Finally, we link the consequent cross sections which are processed according to the radius and the direction information to obtain the 3D structure of the artery. The proposed 3D reconstruction method is validated on real data and is shown to perform robustly and accurately in the presence of noise.

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

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

In this paper a system is developed for face recognition processes. Preprocessing and face localization is necessary to obtain a high classification rate in face recognition tasks. In this study after preprocessing of face images, for omitting the redundant information such as background and hair, the oval shape of face is approximated by an ellipse using shape information. Then the parameters (orientation and center coordinates) of this ellipse are optimized using genetic algorithm (GA). High order pseudo Zernike moment invariant (PZMI) which has useful properties is utilized to produce feature vectors. Also radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) with HLA learning rule has been used as a classifier. Simulation results on ORL database indicate that the error rate of proposed system which uses genetic algorithm for optimizing the face localization step is lower than an older system which described in (H. Haddadnia et al., 2003)
