The Image Grand Tour for Exploring Medical Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The image grand tour (IGT) is a method for visualizing multi– spectral images or multiple registered images. The IGT projects a linear combination of the pixel vectors into one– dimensional space (for each pixel) and renders these projected values as a gray–scale image. We will present a JAVA–based version of the IGT with additional software enhancements such as the capability of zooming into a region of interest. Our main application of the IGT in this paper are medical images such as multiple slices obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The IGT can be used to highlight features in MRI scans taken by different scanning techniques. The zooming capability may help to focus on a region of interest, such as a tumor.

Image grand tour
The image grand tour is a method for visualizing multispectral or multiple registered images. In many settings, several registered images of the same scene are collected. This most often happens when multispectral images are collected, but may happen in other settings as well. A multispectral image can be viewed as an image in which each pixel has a multivariate vector attached. The desired goa...
متن کاملNew Applications of the Image Grand Tour
The image grand tour (IGT) is a method for visualizing multispectral images or multiple registered images. Such images can be described as having a multivariate pixel vector associated with each pixel. Examples are the RGB values of a photograph or the multiple spectral and infrared readings from remote sensing satellites. The image grand tour projects a linear combination of the pixel vectors ...

Recent studies showed that remote sensing (RS) is an effective, efficient and reliable technique used in almost all the areas of earth sciences. Remote sensing as being a technique started with aerial photographs and then developed employing the multi-spectral satellite images. Nowadays, it benefits from hyper-spectral, RADAR and LIDAR data as well. This potential has widen its applicability in...
متن کاملAssessment of the Wavelet Transform for Noise Reduction in Simulated PET Images
Introduction: An efficient method of tomographic imaging in nuclear medicine is positron emission tomography (PET). Compared to SPECT, PET has the advantages of higher levels of sensitivity, spatial resolution and more accurate quantification. However, high noise levels in the image limit its diagnostic utility. Noise removal in nuclear medicine is traditionally based on Fourier decomposition o...
متن کاملMultimodal medical image fusion based on Yager’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets
The objective of image fusion for medical images is to combine multiple images obtained from various sources into a single image suitable for better diagnosis. Most of the state-of-the-art image fusing technique is based on nonfuzzy sets, and the fused image so obtained lags with complementary information. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) are determined to be more suitable for civilian, and medi...
