Measuring Intrinsic Volumes in Digital 3d Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The intrinsic volumes – in 3d up to constants volume, surface area, integral of mean curvature, and Euler number – are a very useful set of geometric characteristics. Combining integral and digital geometry we develop a method for efficient simultanous calculation of the intrinsic volumes of sets observed in binary images. In order to achieve consistency in the derived intrinsic volumes for both foreground and background, suitable pairs of discrete connectivities have to be used. To make this rigorous, the concepts discretization w.r.t. an adjacency system and complementarity of adjacency systems are introduced.

Influences of reconstruction and attenuation correction in brain SPECT images obtained by the hybrid SPECT/CT device: evaluation with a 3‐dimensional brain phantom
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influences of reconstruction and attenuation correction on the differences in the radioactivity distributions in 123I brain SPECT obtained by the hybrid SPECT/CT device. Methods: We used the 3-dimensional (3D) brain phantom, which imitates the precise structure of gray mater, white matter and bone regions. It was filled with 123I solution (20...

Introduction: Radiation imaging is one of the applicable methods in diagnostic medicine and nondestructive testing for industrial applications. In nondestructive 3D imaging, in addition to the radiation source, there is a requirement for a suitable detection system, data acquisition system, mechanical sections for moving objects, reconstruction algorithm and finally a computer for processing an...
متن کاملEstimation of fractal dimension and fractal curvatures from digital images
Most of the known methods for estimating the fractal dimension of fractal sets are based on the evaluation of a single geometric characteristic, e.g. the volume of its parallel sets. We propose a method involving the evaluation of several geometric characteristics, namely all the intrinsic volumes (i.e. volume, surface area, Euler characteristic etc.) of the parallel sets of a fractal. Motivate...
متن کاملHistopathology in 3D: From 3D Reconstruction to Multi-stain and Multi-modal Analysis
Light Microscopy applied to the domain of histopathology has traditionally been a two dimensional imaging modality. Several authors, including the authors of this work, have extended the use of Digital Microscopy to three dimensions by stacking digital images of serial sections using image based registration. In this paper we give an overview of our approach, and of extensions to the approach t...
