Prior Knowledge for Improved Image Estimation from Raw MRI Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper is presented a method for the accurate estimation of the image boundary from incomplete raw MRI data. This is necessary for the phase correction and the image reconstruction from incomplete Cartesian or Radial scans using MR techniques and therefore for the reduction of MRI scan time. The exact estimation method comprises the binarization of the low resolution image, the fast separation of the displayed objects using image block representation and the extraction of the external and of all the interior edges which can be used as prior information for the phase correction and the image reconstruction.

Extracting Prior Knowledge from Data Distribution to Migrate from Blind to Semi-Supervised Clustering
Although many studies have been conducted to improve the clustering efficiency, most of the state-of-art schemes suffer from the lack of robustness and stability. This paper is aimed at proposing an efficient approach to elicit prior knowledge in terms of must-link and cannot-link from the estimated distribution of raw data in order to convert a blind clustering problem into a semi-supervised o...
