چکیده

We present a novel use of commodity graphics hardware to perform real-time image segmentation and image morphology operations. Our preliminary results show a performance increase of over 30% using an nVidia GeForce4 when compared to an implementation using Intel MMX optimized code on a 2.2 Ghz Intel P4 CPU.

Fast Image Interpolation for Motion Estimation using Graphics Hardware

Motion estimation and compensation is the key to high quality video coding. Block matching motion estimation is used in most video codecs, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.263 and H.26L. Motion estimation is also a key component in the digital restoration of archived video and for post-production and special effects in the movie industry. Sub-pixel accurate motion vectors can improve the quality of ...

Ultra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...
