The system enables query of known spectral signatures and clustering of spectral data based on intrinsic properties. As a result, presence and relative concentration of specific chemical bonds can be quantified. The primary contribution of this paper is in representation of raman profile in terms of fluorescence background and multiscale peak detection at each grid point (voxel). Such a representation allows efficient spatial segmentation based on the coupling between high-level salient properties and low-level symbolic representation at each voxel. The high-level salient properties refer to preferred peaks and their attributes for the entire image. The low-level symbolic representations are based on fluorescence background, spectral peak locations, and their attributes. We present results on a corn stover tissue section that is imaged through Raman microscopy, and the results are consistent with the literature. In addition, automatic clustering indicates several distinct layers of the cell walls with different spectral signatures.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"61 18","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120934488","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 presented sensors are very low-cost- optical mice and a Wii Remote - yet enable flexible 3D US acquisition with no global tracking overhead.

As a consequence, image registration techniques are evolving from alignment of pairs of static volumetric images to spatio-temporal registration of dynamic (4D) images. Since the elastic image registration problem is ill-posed, additional prior information or constraints are usually required to regularize the problem. This work proposes to enforce local invertibility (diffeomorphism) of 4D deformations. A novel sufficient condition for local invertibility over continuous space and time is proposed and a practical regularization prior is designed from the theory. The method has been applied to an image registration (motion tracking) of a dynamic 4D CT image sequence. Results show that using proposed regularizer leads to deformations that are more plausible for respiratory motion than the standard approach without additional temporal regularization.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122368246","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}

We compare the proposed algorithm to a previously reported method that involves padding of the high resolution data with a supersampled version of the low resolution data, to zero padding and edge extension, using synthetic data sets.

Moreover, we extend the concept of partial volume estimation, introduced for mutual information (MI), to other similarity measures. We compare local and global sum of squared differences (SSD), cross correlation (CC) and MI for different sizes of the local regions. In general, local MI gives the highest accuracy, even for image pairs of the same modality.

In such cases, the degradation is typically caused by the resolution limitations of an imaging device in use and/or by measurement noise. In the field of optics and nuclear imaging, the noise is commonly assumed to obey a Poisson distribution. In this note, a novel method for de-noising and/or de-blurring of digital images corrupted by Poisson noise is introduced. The proposed method is derived under the assumption that the image of interest can be sparsely represented in the domain of a linear transform. Consequently, a shrinkage-based iterative procedure is proposed, which guarantees convergence to the global maximizer of an associated maximuma-posteriori criterion.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130313534","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}
