Progressive encoding of binary voxel models using pyramidal decomposition

Progressive Encoding of Binaray Voxels with Adaptive Pyramidal Decomposition

We propose a progressive encoding method for geometric information of 3D object model, which is represented with binary voxels. For progressive transmission, we create multi-resolution model of the 3D models by pyramidal decomposition. However, a simple pyramidal decomposition, which decimates 3D model by 3D sampling, can not preserve the detailed structure of the 3D model, which is very sensit...

Receptive Field Encoding Model for Dynamic Natural Vision

Introduction: Encoding models are used to predict human brain activity in response to sensory stimuli. The purpose of these models is to explain how sensory information represent in the brain. Convolutional neural networks trained by images are capable of encoding magnetic resonance imaging data of humans viewing natural images. Considering the hemodynamic response function, these networks are ...

Impaired Memory and Evidence of Histopathology in CA1 Pyramidal Neurons through Injection of Aβ1-42 Peptides into the Frontal Cortices of Rat

Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders, which has much benefited from animal models to find the basics of its pathophysiology. In our previous work (Haghani, Shabani, Javan, Motamedi, & Janahmadi, 2012), a non-transgenic rat model of AD was used in electrophysiological studies. However, we did not investigate the histological aspects in the ...

Implementational Aspects of the Contourlet Filter Bank and Application in Image Coding

This paper analyzed the implementational aspects of the contourlet filter bank (or the pyramidal directional filter bank (PDFB)), and considered its application in image coding. First, details of the binary tree-structured directional filter bank (DFB) are presented, including a modification to minimize the phase delay factor and necessary steps for handling rectangular images. The PDFB is view...
