Lyapack is a package for the solution of large-scale sparse problems arising in control theory. The package has a modular design, and is implemented as a Matlab toolbox, which renders it easy to utilize, modify and extend with new functionality. However, in general, the use of Matlab in combination with a general-purpose multi-core architecture (CPU) offers limited performance when tackling the sparse linear algebra operations underlying the numerical methods involved in control theory. In this paper we extend Lyapack to leverage the computational power of graphics processors (GPUs). The experimental evaluation of a new CUDA-enabled solver for the Lyapunov equation, a crucial operation appearing in control theory problems, shows a significant runtime reduction when compared with the original CPU version of Lyapack, while retaining the usability of a Matlab-based implementation. 相似文献

Medical image processing is one of the most famous image processing fields in this era. This fame comes because of the big revolution in information technology that is used to diagnose many illnesses and saves patients lives. There are many image processing techniques used in this field, such as image reconstructing, image segmentation and many more. Image segmentation is a mandatory step in many image processing based diagnosis procedures. Many segmentation algorithms use clustering approach. In this paper, we focus on Fuzzy C-Means based segmentation algorithms because of the segmentation accuracy they provide. In many cases, these algorithms need long execution times. In this paper, we accelerate the execution time of these algorithms using Graphics Process Unit (GPU) capabilities. We achieve performance enhancement by up to 8.9x without compromising the segmentation accuracy. 相似文献

The watershed transformation is a mid-level operation used in morphological image segmentation. Techniques applied on large images, which must often complete fast, are usually computationally expensive and complex entailing efficient parallel algorithms. Two distributed approaches of the watershed transformation are introduced in this paper. The algorithms survey in a Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD) model both local and global connectivity properties of the morphological gradient of a gray-scale image to label connected components. The sequentiality of the serial algorithm is broken in the parallel versions by exploiting the ordering relation between two neighboring pixels successively incorporated in the same region. Thus, a path is traced, for every unlabeled pixel, down to its region of inclusion (whose label is then propagated backwards); in the second algorithm, regions grow independently around their seeds. In both cases only pixels which satisfy the ordering relation are incorporated in any region. This way, not only different regions are explored in a parallel fashion, but also different parts of the same region, when the latter extends to neighboring subdomains, are treated likewise. Running time and relative speedup evaluated on a Cray T3D parallel computer are used to appreciate the performance of both algorithms. 相似文献

Segmentation of an image into regions and the labeling of the regions is a challenging problem. In this paper, an approach that is applicable to any set of multifeature images of the same location is derived. Our approach applies to, for example, medical images of a region of the body; repeated camera images of the same area; and satellite images of a region. The segmentation and labeling approach described here uses a set of training images and domain knowledge to produce an image segmentation system that can be used without change on images of the same region collected over time. How to obtain training images, integrate domain knowledge, and utilize learning to segment and label images of the same region taken under any condition for which a training image exists is detailed. It is shown that clustering in conjunction with image processing techniques utilizing an iterative approach can effectively identify objects of interest in images. The segmentation and labeling approach described here is applied to color camera images and two other image domains are used to illustrate the applicability of the approach. 相似文献

Evolutionary segmentation of texture image using genetic algorithms towards automatic decision of optimum number of segmentation areas 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Segmentation of an image composed of different kinds of texture fields has difficulty in an exact discrimination of the texture fields and a decision of the optimum number of segmentation areas in an image when the image contains similar and/or unstationary texture fields. In this paper we formulate the segmentation problem upon such images as an optimization problem and adopt evolutionary strategy of genetic algorithms for the clustering of small regions in a feature space. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the efficiency of genetic algorithms to the texture segmentation and to develop the automatic texture segmentation method. 相似文献

A methodology for evaluating range image segmentation algorithms is proposed. This methodology involves (1) a common set of 40 laser range finder images and 40 structured light scanner images that have manually specified ground truth and (2) a set of defined performance metrics for instances of correctly segmented, missed, and noise regions, over- and under-segmentation, and accuracy of the recovered geometry. A tool is used to objectively compare a machine generated segmentation against the specified ground truth. Four research groups have contributed to evaluate their own algorithm for segmenting a range image into planar patches 相似文献

Computational acceleration on graphics processing units (GPUs) can make advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction algorithms attractive in clinical settings, thereby improving the quality of MR images across a broad spectrum of applications. This paper describes the acceleration of such an algorithm on NVIDIA's Quadro FX 5600. The reconstruction of a 3D image with 128(3) voxels achieves up to 180 GFLOPS and requires just over one minute on the Quadro, while reconstruction on a quad-core CPU is twenty-one times slower. Furthermore, relative to the true image, the error exhibited by the advanced reconstruction is only 12%, while conventional reconstruction techniques incur error of 42%. 相似文献

Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation is implemented on multiple GPUs by using NVIDIA’s Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) in this paper. Data communication between each GPU is executed based on the POSIX thread. Compared with the single-GPU implementation, this implementation can provide faster computation speed and more storage space to perform simulations on a significant larger system. In benchmark, the performance of GPUs is compared with that of Material Studio running on a single CPU core. We can achieve more than 90x speedup by using three C2050 GPUs to perform simulations on an 80∗80∗80 system. This implementation is applied to the study on the dispersancy of lubricant succinimide dispersants. A series of simulations are performed on lubricant–soot–dispersant systems to study the impact factors including concentration and interaction with lubricant on the dispersancy, and the simulation results are agreed with the study in our present work. 相似文献

In this paper we address the difficult problem of parameter-finding in image segmentation. We replace a tedious manual process that is often based on guess-work and luck by a principled approach that systematically explores the parameter space. Our core idea is the following two-stage technique: We start with a sparse sampling of the parameter space and apply a statistical model to estimate the response of the segmentation algorithm. The statistical model incorporates a model of uncertainty of the estimation which we use in conjunction with the actual estimate in (visually) guiding the user towards areas that need refinement by placing additional sample points. In the second stage the user navigates through the parameter space in order to determine areas where the response value (goodness of segmentation) is high. In our exploration we rely on existing ground-truth images in order to evaluate the "goodness" of an image segmentation technique. We evaluate its usefulness by demonstrating this technique on two image segmentation algorithms: a three parameter model to detect microtubules in electron tomograms and an eight parameter model to identify functional regions in dynamic Positron Emission Tomography scans. 相似文献

Numerous segmentation algorithms have been developed, many of them highly specific and only applicable to a reduced class of problems and image data. Without an additional source of knowledge, automatic image segmentation based on low level image features seemed unlikely to succeed in extracting semantic objects in generic images. A new region-merging segmentation technique has recently been developed which incorporates the spectral and textural properties of the objects to be detected and also their different size and behaviour at different stages of scale, respectively. Linking this technique with the FAO Land Cover Land Use classification system resulted in the development of an automated, standardized classification methodology. Testing on Landsat and Aster images resulted in mutually exclusive classes with clear and unambiguous class definitions. The error matrix based on field samples showed overall accuracy values of 92% for Aster image and 89% for Landsat. The KIA values were 88% for Aster images and 84% for the Landsat image. 相似文献

In the field of image analysis, segmentation is one of the most important preprocessing steps. One way to achieve segmentation is by mean of threshold selection, where each pixel that belongs to a determined class is labeled according to the selected threshold, giving as a result pixel groups that share visual characteristics in the image. Several methods have been proposed in order to solve threshold selection problems; in this work, it is used the method based on the mixture of Gaussian functions to approximate the 1D histogram of a gray level image and whose parameters are calculated using three nature inspired algorithms (Particle Swarm Optimization, Artificial Bee Colony Optimization and Differential Evolution). Each Gaussian function approximates the histogram, representing a pixel class and therefore a threshold point. Experimental results are shown, comparing in quantitative and qualitative fashion as well as the main advantages and drawbacks of each algorithm, applied to multi-threshold problem. 相似文献

In the study, a novel segmentation technique is proposed for multispectral satellite image compression. A segmentation decision rule composed of the principal eigenvectors of the image correlation matrix is derived to determine the similarity of image characteristics of two image blocks. Based on the decision rule, we develop an eigenregion-based segmentation technique. The proposed segmentation technique can divide the original image into some proper eigenregions according to their local terrain characteristics. To achieve better compression efficiency, each eigenregion image is then compressed by an efficient compression algorithm eigenregion-based eigensubspace transform (ER-EST). The ER-EST contains 1D eigensubspace transform (EST) and 2D-DCT to decorrelate the data in spectral and spatial domains. Before performing EST, the dimension of transformation matrix of EST is estimated by an information criterion. In this way, the eigenregion image may be approximated by a lower-dimensional components in the eigensubspace. Simulation tests performed on SPOT and Landsat TM images have demonstrated that the proposed compression scheme is suitable for multispectral satellite image. 相似文献

分水岭变换是一种基于区域和数学形态学的图像分割方法,被广泛用于灰度图像的分割之中.但传统分水岭变换过分割问题严重,图像的噪声和虚假纹理会淹没真正想得到的边缘信息.针对岩屑图像的特征,提出了一种改进的分水岭算法分割方案.先在预处理期用形态学开闭重建运算对原始图像平滑处理,在相对保留边缘不受影响的同时,降低噪声的影响.再通过非线性的阈值变换分离出目标和背景,然后在提取出目标的情况下合并过小区域,得到目标的边缘.而由于阈值变换后,区域数量已经明显减少,可以降低区域合并的运算量,提高合并速度.在求取形态学梯度时,选用了一种新的形态梯度形式,消除了形态学处理对分割结果造成的轮廓偏移现象.从实验结果看来,该算法取得了较好的分割效果. 相似文献

In this paper, we present a new image segmentation algorithm which is based on local binary patterns (LBPs) and the combinatorial pyramid and which preserves structural correctness and image topology. For this purpose, we define a codification of LBPs using graph pyramids. Since the LBP code characterizes the topological category (local max, min, slope, saddle) of the gray level landscape around the center region, we use it to obtain a “minimal” image representation in terms of the topological characterization of a given 2D grayscale image. Based on this idea, we further describe our hierarchical texture aware image segmentation algorithm and compare its segmentation output and the “minimal” image representation. 相似文献
