Book Description
Bringing together key researchers in disciplines ranging from visualization and image processing to applications in structural mechanics, fluid dynamics, elastography, and numerical mathematics, the workshop that generated this edited volume was the third in the successful Dagstuhl series. Its aim, reflected in the quality and relevance of the papers presented, was to foster collaboration and fresh lines of inquiry in the analysis and visualization of tensor fields, which offer a concise model for numerous physical phenomena. Despite their utility, there remains a dearth of methods for studying all but the simplest ones, a shortage the workshops aim to address. Documenting the latest progress and open research questions in tensor field analysis, the chapters reflect the excitement and inspiration generated by this latest Dagstuhl workshop, held in July 2009. The topics they address range from applications of the analysis of tensor fields to purer research into their mathematical and analytical properties. They show how cooperation and the sharing of ideas and data between those engaged in pure and applied research can open new vistas in the study of tensor fields.

Languages : en
Pages : 1196
Book Description
The excellently received call for papers of the 13th Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis, June 29-July 2 (SCIA 2003) resulted in the selected articles of this proceedings. Additionally the volume also contains invited contributions from - Ivar Austvoll, Stavanger University College (NO), - Lars B? a? ath, Halmstad University (SE), - Ewert Bengtsson, Uppsala University (SE), - Rasmus Larsen, Technical University of Denmark (DK), - Jussi Parkkinen, University of Joensuu (FI), - Pietro Perona, California Institute of Technology (US) which brings the total number of articles to 152. The theme of the papers are dominated by the categories - Feature extraction - Depth and surface - Medical image processing - Shape analysis - Segmentation and spatial grouping - Coding and representation - Motion analysis - Texture analysis - Color analysis - Indexing and categorization which also represent the topical groupings of this book. The particularly strong response to the feature extraction, depth and surface, and medical image processing themes makes us believe that these areas are c- rently expansive, partly because of the rich set of problems which remain to be addressed.

Local Structure Tensor for Multidimensional Signal Processing
Author: Raúl San José Estépar
Publisher: Presses univ. de Louvain
ISBN: 2874631019
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Feature extraction and, particularly, orientation estimation of multidimensional images is of paramount importance for the Image Processing and Computer Vision communities. This dissertation focuses on this topic; specifically, we deal with the problem of local structure tensor (LST) estimation, as a mean of characterizing the local behavior of a multidimensional signal. The LST can be seen as a measure of the uncertainty of a multidimensional signal with respect to a given orientation. LST estimation can be achieved by estimating the local energy of a signal in different orientations. Then, the LST is computed as a linear combination of the local energy for each orientation with a tensor basis whose elements are calculated for each orientation. This kind of methods for the estimation of the LST are based on quadrature filters to obtain the local energy of the signal. While the LST based on quadrature filters is well defined for signals that vary locally only in one orientation (simple signals), the estimation method fails with complex signals, i.e. signals that consist of several differently-oriented simple signals. In this dissertation, an analytical study of the distortions of the tensor eigenvalues due to such complex neighborhoods is carried out. From this analytical study, two constructive methods are proposed for the estimation of the LST. The first method is based on a maximum likelihood estimation of the quadrature filter outputs. The second method uses a measure of phase consistency based on generalized quadrature filters which are formally derived from an extension of the analytic signal to multidimensional signals known as the monogenic signal. The interpretation of a multidimensional image as a function graph, i.e. a Riemannian manifold, instead of just intensity variations on the Euclidean space, has important implications that are exploited in this dissertation. Image processing tasks can then be performed by solving partial differential equations on the Riemannian manifold. In this dissertation, Riemannian geometry is used to study the evolution of fronts under mean curvature flow on a Riemannian manifold using a level set framework. For our purposes, the Riemannian manifold is defined by the induced metric of the image that is related to the LST. The Riemannian mean curvature flow is the theoretical basis for the definition of a level set segmentation method. The methods proposed in this dissertation are applied to two medical image applications. The first consists in a freehand 3D ultrasound reconstruction technique that uses the LST to perform an adaptive interpolation based on normalized convolution. Our results show that our method outperforms traditional technique for this interpolation problem. The second application uses the level set method based on Riemannian mean curvature flow to segment anatomical structures in dataset from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US). This novel method reveals as a feasible approach to medical image segmentation.
