Three Dimensional Curvilinear Structure Detection Using Optimally Oriented Flux
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a novel curvilinear structure detector, called Optimally Oriented Flux (OOF). OOF finds an optimal axis on which image gradients are projected in order to compute the image gradient flux. The computation of OOF is localized at the boundaries of local spherical regions. It avoids considering closely located adjacent structures. The main advantage of OOF is its robustness against the disturbance induced by closely located adjacent objects. Moreover, the analytical formulation of OOF introduces no additional computation load as compared to the calculation of the Hessian matrix which is widely used for curvilinear structure detection. It is experimentally demonstrated that OOF delivers accurate and stable curvilinear structure detection responses under the interference of closely located adjacent structures as well as image noise.

An Oriented Flux Symmetry Based Active Contour Model for Three Dimensional Vessel Segmentation
This paper proposes a novel approach to segment three dimensional curvilinear structures, particularly vessels in angiography, by inspecting the symmetry of image gradients. The proposed method stresses the importance of simultaneously considering both the gradient symmetry with respect to the curvilinear structure center, and the gradient antisymmetry with respect to the object boundary. Measu...
متن کاملSupervised Feature Learning for Curvilinear Structure Segmentation
We present a novel, fully-discriminative method for curvilinear structure segmentation that simultaneously learns a classifier and the features it relies on. Our approach requires almost no parameter tuning and, in the case of 2D images, removes the requirement for hand-designed features, thus freeing the practitioner from the time-consuming tasks of parameter and feature selection. Our approac...

متن کاملComparison of the Eccentricity Faults Effects on the Performance of several Toroidal Wounded Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Motors
Eccentricity fault is one the most common fault types of disk-type permanent magnet machines, which could lead to devastating effects. Unfortunately, most of the previous works have studied this fault and its detection techniques for slotted structure with common winding. Therefore, in this paper, the effects of eccentricity faults on the performance of single-sided slotted, single-sided slotle...

In this paper, topology optimization is utilized for damage detection in three dimensional elasticity problems. In addition, two mode expansion techniques are used to derive unknown modal data from measured data identified by installed sensors. Damages in the model are assumed as reduction of mass and stiffness in the discretized finite elements. The Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (...
