Although highly effective, such large quantities of images incur a high cost in terms of storage, processing time and transmission. This paper proposes a method for lossless compression of targeted parts within Fluoroscopy images, extracting the region of interest (ROI) - in this case the pharynx and esophagus, and employing customized correlation and the combination of Run Length and Huffman coding, to increase compression efficiency. The experimental results show that the proposed method improved performance with a compression ratio of 300% better than conventional methods.","PeriodicalId":440373,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125662817","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 proposed algorithm aims to obtain the maximum a posterior (MAP) estimate of communication code and the unknown parameters using particle filtering by establishing the state space model for the interfered signal, Specially, in order to overcome the sample impoverishment problem, particle swarm optimized is introduced to the re-sampling process in particle filtering(PF). In such a way, the number of needed particles is reduced and the variety of particles is retained during the sequential estimation process, moreover, the proposed algorithm has superior performance under time-varying amplitude LFM interference. Simulation results show that the method is effective to separate communication signal and interference when the ISR is less than 20dB and SNR is more than 14dB.","PeriodicalId":440373,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129207943","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}

A multi-object system is a generalisation of the standard state space system to one with a randomly varying set of states. An example of such a system is the collection of mobile sensors monitoring an unknown and time varying number of targets in a surveillance region.

Traditionally driven by applications in radar and sonar, today, multi-object system has found applications in many diverse disciplines, including oceanography, autonomous vehicles, and biomedical research.

It then estimates camera pose and augments the image with registered synthetic graphics. We describe the optimizations necessary to enable real-time performance on a mobile tablet. An experimental evaluation of the system in real environments demonstrates that the method is accurate and robust.","PeriodicalId":440373,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134278836","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}

Since the extent of myocardial edema delineates the ischemic area-at-risk (AAR) after MI the AAR can be used to estimate the amount of salvageable myocardial post-MI and therefore has potential clinical utility in the management of acute MI patients. Two methods for the segmentation and quantification of edema from T2 weighted MRI data have been presented. The methods presented in this paper are Two Statistical Mixture Model and Fuzzy C-means. Quantitative evaluations of segmentation accuracy for the two algorithms were performed by comparing to manual segmentation on real T2 weighted CMR data collected from Golden Jubilee National Hospital, Glasgow for 16 adult subjects.","PeriodicalId":440373,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133435111","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}

While training, in handling HMM state, we introduce fixed state and variable state, where in fixed state, the numbers of state is generally fixed for all gestures and while the number of state in variable state is determined by the movement of the gesture.
