Research on planar-to-stereo image conversion has significant theoretical and practical implications for image processing. In this paper we use a method which segments an image into sub-blocks to perform this kind of conversion; parameters such as random variables are used for conversion control. We use two quantitative criteria, cross-entropy and root-mean-square error, to evaluate the stereo effect. Furthermore, the stereo effect that the random variables create is discussed. The results of the experiment show that, (i) when all random variables have the same distribution, different values of these random variables only slightly affect the stereo effect; and (ii) when different distributions are applied to the random variables, the cross-entropies or root-mean-square errors are slightly different, which indicates different distributions have a small influence on the stereo effect. Generally, we recommend normal distribution for better stereo effect in most cases. 相似文献
Accurate segmentation of lungs in pathological thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans plays an important role in pulmonary disease diagnosis. However, it is still a challenging task due to the variability of pathological lung appearances and shapes. In this paper, we proposed a novel segmentation algorithm based on random forest (RF), deep convolutional network, and multi-scale superpixels for segmenting pathological lungs from thoracic CT images accurately. A pathological thoracic CT image is first segmented based on multi-scale superpixels, and deep features, texture, and intensity features extracted from superpixels are taken as inputs of a group of RF classifiers. With the fusion of classification results of RFs by a fractional-order gray correlation approach, we capture an initial segmentation of pathological lungs. We finally utilize a divide-and-conquer strategy to deal with segmentation refinement combining contour correction of left lungs and region repairing of right lungs. Our algorithm is tested on a group of thoracic CT images affected with interstitial lung diseases. Experiments show that our algorithm can achieve a high segmentation accuracy with an average DSC of 96.45% and PPV of 95.07%. Compared with several existing lung segmentation methods, our algorithm exhibits a robust performance on pathological lung segmentation. Our algorithm can be employed reliably for lung field segmentation of pathologic thoracic CT images with a high accuracy, which is helpful to assist radiologists to detect the presence of pulmonary diseases and quantify its shape and size in regular clinical practices.
An intelligent verification platform based on a structured analysis model is presented.Using an abstract model mechanism with specific signal interfaces for user callback,the unified structured analysis data,shared by the electronic system level design,functional verification,and performance evaluation,enables efficient management review,auto-generation of code,and modeling in the transaction level.We introduce the class tree,flow parameter diagram,structured flow chart,and event-driven finite state machine as structured analysis models.As a sand table to carry maps from different perspectives and levels via an engine,this highly reusable platform provides the mapping topology to search for unintended consequences and the graph theory for comprehensive coverage and smart test cases.Experimental results show that the engine generates efficient test sequences,with a sharp increase in coverage for the same vector count compared with a random test. 相似文献
