An algorithm which uses an iterative line search procedure to adapt the segmentation thresholds is proposed. This algorithm is parallel in nature, and could be implemented on a disturbed computer architecture. Based on the angiogram's histogram, two thresholds are obtained which classify the pixels into three types: artery, background, and unclassified, The threshold adaptation is an iterative process. A heuristic line search is conducted throughout the neighborhoods of the unclassified pixels. The results of the search are used to adapt the thresholds. The process is continued until all pixels are classified as either artery or background. The algorithm was implemented on an IBM PC/AT-based imaging system and tested with coronary arteriogram images. Preliminary results demonstrated the algorithm's usefulness in enhancing the arterial structure, even under low signal-to-noise ratios. Furthermore, the segmentation was achieved within a few iterations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":165980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1988 Fourteenth Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131607869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The recent development of an imaging supercomputer with associated two-dimensional fast Fourier transform software has now made possible the calculation of (120*128)-pixel two-dimensional Fourier transforms, multiplication by an arbitrary filter function, and inverse two-dimensional Fourier transformation possible in real time. Here, plain-film projection radiographs are digitized and a variety of high-pass, low-pass and bandpass filters are applied in the transform domain. The preliminary results suggest that such real-time spatial filtering may be particularly attractive to radiologists because of the ability to see simultaneously both the unprocessed and processed radiograph and to utilize rapidly and assess a variety of available filters.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":165980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1988 Fourteenth Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115728026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key conclusion is that the eigenvalues and the orientation of the eigenvectors of the system matrix associated with the velocity storage integrator are closely linked to the gravitational field. Gravity appears to maintain the eigenvectors with the smallest eigenvalues, i.e. the principal axes of storage, close to the spatial vertical regardless of head orientation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":165980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1988 Fourteenth Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121573751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laboratory experiment and preliminary numerical modeling results of receptor responses that support the matched-filter hypothesis are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":165980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1988 Fourteenth Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121900358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Included in this transfer function are the electromechanical vibrators, the skin interface, and the tactile skin sensors. In previous work, individual components have been analyzed, but no attempt has been made to evaluate the process in its entirety. Each transfer function is also analyzed in detail to describe the input-output relationships important in the effective transfer of optical information in a TVIS. The overall transfer function is developed and its equation is given. Here, a theoretically derived stimulation waveform was used for the vibrator driving current. Under computer simulation, this waveform reduces the vibrator noise levels to less than 70 dB(C) while requiring only 3 mW of power for each vibrator to elicit tactile sensation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":165980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1988 Fourteenth Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115357704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The technique of linear prediction has been used to enhance the quality of the embedded gastric signal component. The results indicate that linear prediction is capable of separating the gastric electrical signal component from uncorrelated interferences. Moreover, this approach has the intrinsic ability to track irregularities of the gastric activity, such as tachygastria, which is demonstrated by examples.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":165980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1988 Fourteenth Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"2012 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133352511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
