Recognition of atherosclerotic plaques and their extended dimensioning with computerized tomography angiography imaging

Tomasz Markiewicz, Mirosław Dziekiewicz, Marek Maruszyński, Romana Bogusławska-Walecka, Wojciech Kozłowski (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper the authors raise the issue of automatic discrimination of atherosclerotic plaques within an artery lumen based on numerical and statistical thresholding of Computerized Tomography Angiographic (CTA) images and their advanced dimensioning as a support for preoperative vessel assessment. For the study, a set of tomograms of the aorta, as well as the ilio-femoral and femoral arteries were examined. In each case a sequence of about 130-480 images of the artery cutoff planes were analyzed...

Region of interest contrast measures

Václav Remeš, Michal Haindl (2018)

Kybernetika

A survey of local image contrast measures is presented and a new contrast measure for measuring the local contrast of regions of interest is proposed. The measures validation is based on the gradual objective contrast decreasing on medical test images in both grayscale and color. The performance of the eleven most frequented contrast measures is mutually compared and their robustness to different types of image degradation is analyzed. Since the contrast measures can be both global, regional and...

RGB-D terrain perception and dense mapping for legged robots

Dominik Belter, Przemysław Łabecki, Péter Fankhauser, Roland Siegwart (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper addresses the issues of unstructured terrain modeling for the purpose of navigation with legged robots. We present an improved elevation grid concept adopted to the specific requirements of a small legged robot with limited perceptual capabilities. We propose an extension of the elevation grid update mechanism by incorporating a formal treatment of the spatial uncertainty. Moreover, this paper presents uncertainty models for a structured light RGB-D sensor and a stereo vision camera used...
