An appearance manifold is usually nonlinear, embedded in a high dimensional space, and can be approximated by a mixture of locally linear models.

In this paper, we parameterize the mixture of linear appearance subspaces of an object in a global coordinate system, and apply it to visual tracking using a Rao-Blackwellized particle filter.

Analysis of the lung structure is one of important functions in a computer aided diagnosis system for chest CT data. Since the lung is composed of five lobes, analysis of the lung requires recognition of each lobe area. Thin membranes, called interlobar pleura, exist between lobes. Their CT values are higher than those of the lung parenchyma on CT images. Therefore, the proposed method extracts interlobar pleura regions and interpolates the regions by fitting quadratic surfaces. Then, lung regions are divided into lobes using fitted surfaces. From the obtained lung lobe regions and the bronchial tree data extracted beforehand, each bronchial branch is classified into the lobe to which it belongs. The proposed method was applied to fourteen cases of 3D chest CT images. The experimental results showed that lung regions were satisfactorily divided into lobes and that most bronchi were classified into lobes to which they belong","PeriodicalId":236033,"journal":{"name":"18th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR'06)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132048869","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}
