医学超声图像处理系统

超声图像诊断是与X线CT、同位素扫描、核磁共振等一样重要的医学图像诊断手段。根据肝脏超声图像进行脂肪肝的诊断,是病变确诊的主要方法。但是,与CT和核磁共振等医学图像相比,超声图像的图像质量较差,目前的诊断以定性为主,受主观因素影响较大。以图像分割为基础,以VC语言为工具,建立了超声图像处理系统,对超声图像进行了二值化处理,并对处理结果进行了量化,为诊断提供了依据。     

Measurement Problems in Optical Monitoring Systems

A probabilistic image model is proposed. According to the model, the noise of the boundaries has the principal effect on the precision with which the dimensions of optical monitoring objects are measured. Results of theoretical and experimental investigations of measurement precision are presented. An approach to the determination of monitoring reliability and the selection of the resolution of a machine vision system based on structural requirements is formulated.     

利用信息融合方法的三维特征提取

本文提出了一种基于信息融合的物体三维特征的提取方法，该方法利用两幅互相配准的三维测距图像和灰度图像，来提取多面体的三维特征。首先，通过分析灰度图像中的灰度变化及测距图像中的测距值变化，分别求取各自图像中物体的特征点及特征边；然后，利用两配准图像之间的对应关系，求得所有特征点、面与多边形在三维测距图像中的三维表示；接着，通过分析三维测距图像中所测得的各候选平面上特定点与边处的曲率及法向，验证候选平面     

一种基于小波系数重要图编码的图像压缩算法

提出了一种新的基于小波系数重要图编码的图像压缩算法。该算法根据量化后的波系数的特点进行了一种期望排序，然后舍掉序列后面大量的零值小波系数，从而得到一个波系数子集，能以少的小波系数来很好地逼近原始图像，省去了零树编码中零树结构带来的大量比特开销。实验表明，该算法与MPEG-4的静止图像压缩算法相比较，重构图像的峰值信噪比（PSNR）值在相同码率下有较大的提高。

Management of multidimensional discrete data

Spatial database management involves two main categories of data: vector and raster data. The former has received a lot of in-depth investigation; the latter still lacks a sound framework. Current DBMSs either regard raster data as pure byte sequences where the DBMS has no knowledge about the underlying semantics, or they do not complement array structures with storage mechanisms suitable for huge arrays, or they are designed as specialized systems with sophisticated imaging functionality, but no general database capabilities (e.g., a query language). Many types of array data will require database support in the future, notably 2-D images, audio data and general signal-time series (1-D), animations (3-D), static or time-variant voxel fields (3-D and 4-D), and the ISO/IEC PIKS (Programmer's Imaging Kernel System) BasicImage type (5-D). In this article, we propose a comprehensive support ofmultidimensional discrete data (MDD) in databases, including operations on arrays of arbitrary size over arbitrary data types. A set of requirements is developed, a small set of language constructs is proposed (based on a formal algebraic semantics), and a novel MDD architecture is outlined to provide the basis for efficient MDD query evaluation.     

A semantic modeling approach for image retrieval by content

We introduce a semantic data model to capture the hierarchical, spatial, temporal, and evolutionary semantics of images in pictorial databases. This model mimics the user's conceptual view of the image content, providing the framework and guidelines for preprocessing to extract image features. Based on the model constructs, a spatial evolutionary query language (SEQL), which provides direct image object manipulation capabilities, is presented. With semantic information captured in the model, spatial evolutionary queries are answered efficiently. Using an object-oriented platform, a prototype medical-image management system was implemented at UCLA to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
