Fusion based analysis of ophthalmologic image data

Jiří Jan, Radim Kolář, Libor Kubečka, Jan Odstrčilík, Jiří Gazárek (2011)

Kybernetika

The paper presents an overview of image analysis activities of the Brno DAR group in the medical application area of retinal imaging. Particularly, illumination correction and SNR enhancement by registered averaging as preprocessing steps are briefly described; further mono- and multimodal registration methods developed for specific types of ophthalmological images, and methods for segmentation of optical disc, retinal vessel tree and autofluorescence areas are presented. Finally, the designed methods...

Implementation of the MR tractography visualization kit based on the anisotropic Allen-Cahn equation

Pavel Strachota (2009)

Kybernetika

Magnetic Resonance Diffusion Tensor Imaging (MR–DTI) is a noninvasive in vivo method capable of examining the structure of human brain, providing information about the position and orientation of the neural tracts. After a short introduction to the principles of MR–DTI, this paper describes the steps of the proposed neural tract visualization technique based on the DTI data. The cornerstone of the algorithm is a texture diffusion procedure modeled mathematically by the problem for the Allen–Cahn...

Locally weighted neural networks for an analysis of the biosensor response

Romas Baronas, Feliksas Ivanauskas, Romualdas Maslovskis, Marijus Radavičius, Pranas Vaitkus (2007)

Kybernetika

This paper presents a semi-global mathematical model for an analysis of a signal of amperometric biosensors. Artificial neural networks were applied to an analysis of the biosensor response to multi-component mixtures. A large amount of the learning and test data was synthesized using computer simulation of the biosensor response. The biosensor signal was analyzed with respect to the concentration of each component of the mixture. The paradigm of locally weighted linear regression was used for retraining...

Mathematical framework for current density imaging due to discharge of electro-muscular disruption devices

Jeehyun Lee, Jin Keun Seo, Eung Je Woo (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Electro-muscular disruption (EMD) devices such as TASER M26 and X26 have been used as a less-than-lethal weapon. Such EMD devices shoot a pair of darts toward an intended target to generate an incapacitating electrical shock. In the use of the EMD device, there have been controversial questions about its safety and effectiveness. To address these questions, we need to investigate the distribution of the current density J inside the target produced by the EMD device. One approach is to develop a computational...

Medical image – based computational model of pulsatile flow in saccular aneurisms

Stéphanie Salmon, Marc Thiriet, Jean-Frédéric Gerbeau (2003)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Saccular aneurisms, swelling of a blood vessel, are investigated in order (i) to estimate the development risk of the wall lesion, before and after intravascular treatment, assuming that the pressure is the major factor, and (ii) to better plan medical interventions. Numerical simulations, using the finite element method, are performed in three-dimensional aneurisms. Computational meshes are derived from medical imaging data to take into account both between-subject and within-subject anatomical...

Multichannel deblurring of digital images

Michal Šorel, Filip Šroubek, Jan Flusser (2011)

Kybernetika

Blur is a common problem that limits the effective resolution of many imaging systems. In this article, we give a general overview of methods that can be used to reduce the blur. This includes the classical multi-channel deconvolution problems as well as challenging extensions to spatially varying blur. The proposed methods are formulated as energy minimization problems with specific regularization terms on images and blurs. Experiments on real data illustrate very good and stable performance of...

On Representations of Algebraic Polynomials by Superpositions of Plane Waves

Oskolkov, K. (2002)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

* The author was supported by NSF Grant No. DMS 9706883.Let P be a bi-variate algebraic polynomial of degree n with the real senior part, and Y = {yj }1,n an n-element collection of pairwise noncolinear unit vectors on the real plane. It is proved that there exists a rigid rotation Y^φ of Y by an angle φ = φ(P, Y ) ∈ [0, π/n] such that P equals the sum of n plane wave polynomials, that propagate in the directions ∈ Y^φ .
