Moment Algorithms for Blood Vessel Detection in Infrared Images of Laser-Heated Skin
نویسندگان
چکیده
Block-detection and three-dimensional moment algorithms are applied to determine the presence and orientation of cylinders in a three-dimensional image. The proposed method detects blood vessels in a three-dimensional tomographic image constructed by infrared radiometry. Based on the moment principle, the method can be employed to determine the centroid, diameter, and orientation of arbitrarily shaped blood vessels for application in the laser treatment of hypervascular skin lesions.

Detection of Blood Vessels in Color Fundus Images using a Local Radon Transform
Introduction: This paper addresses a method for automatic detection of blood vessels in color fundus images which utilizes two main tools: image partitioning and local Radon transform. Material and Methods: The input images are firstly divided into overlapping windows and then the Radon transform is applied to each. The maximum of the Radon transform in each window corresponds to the probable a...
متن کاملImproving the RX Anomaly Detection Algorithm for Hyperspectral Images using FFT
Anomaly Detection (AD) has recently become an important application of target detection in hyperspectral images. The Reed-Xialoi (RX) is the most widely used AD algorithm that suffers from “small sample size” problem. The best solution for this problem is to use Dimensionality Reduction (DR) techniques as a pre-processing step for RX detector. Using this method not only improves the detection p...
متن کاملImpact of linear dimensionality reduction methods on the performance of anomaly detection algorithms in hyperspectral images
Anomaly Detection (AD) has recently become an important application of hyperspectral images analysis. The goal of these algorithms is to find the objects in the image scene which are anomalous in comparison to their surrounding background. One way to improve the performance and runtime of these algorithms is to use Dimensionality Reduction (DR) techniques. This paper evaluates the effect of thr...
