A Fast Algorithm to Support Interactive Wavelet Processing on a Radiologist Workstation

چکیده
Medical imaging analysis such as diagnosis of mammography frequently requires advanced image processing capabilities, including transformation, ltering or enhancement which need high-speed image manipulation, and display. Such functionality is important to support technical end-users in Radiology and CAD (Computer Aided Diagnosis). We have designed an eecient parallel algorithm to support interactive analysis and multiscale processing. We show how this multiscale block algorithm works and demonstrate the amount of speedup achieved over traditional linear convolution schemes and conventional FFT methods.

متن کاملHardware Based Wavelet Transformations
Many filtering and feature extraction algorithms use wavelet or related multiscale representations of volume data for edge detection and processing. Due to the computational complexity of these approaches no interactive visualization of the extraction process is possible nowadays. Using the hardware of modern graphics workstations for wavelet decomposition and reconstruction is a first importan...
متن کاملFeature Selection in Structural Health Monitoring Big Data Using a Meta-Heuristic Optimization Algorithm
This paper focuses on the processing of structural health monitoring (SHM) big data. Extracted features of a structure are reduced using an optimization algorithm to find a minimal subset of salient features by removing noisy, irrelevant and redundant data. The PSO-Harmony algorithm is introduced for feature selection to enhance the capability of the proposed method for processing the measure...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...
