In this paper, a method for automatic stitching of radiology images based on pixel features has been presented. In this method, according to the smooth texture of radiological images and in order to increase the number of the extracted features after quality enhancement of initial radiology images, 45 degree isotropic mask is applied to each radiology image to observe the image details. After t...

Pixel brightness variations in an image sequence depend both on the objects’ surface reflectance and on the motion of the camera and object. In the case of rigid shapes some proposed models have been very successful explaining the relation among these strongly coupled components. On the other hand, shapes which deform pose new challenges since the relation between pixel brightness variation wit...

In this paper we present a method to obtain corresponding contour features in a sequence of images. Our final goal is to compute camera motion and structure, for navigation based on vision. We make a feature tracking in the image considering not only the contour geometric information, but also a brightness-based description. A kinematic model of brightness attributes has been proposed in order ...

To capture the full brightness range of natural scenes, cameras automatically adjust the exposure value which causes the brightness of scene points to change from frame to frame. Given such a video sequence, we introduce an adaptive stereo system that automatically generates texture-mapped 3D models. The key part of the system is a new method for tracking features and estimating the radiometric...

We describe a system for detection of leukemia cells involving complement-mediated cytotoxic reaction and an image processing system, consisting of a charge-coupled-device image sensor, an image memory board, a personal computer, and a phase-contrast microscope. Then added to a cell suspension, monoclonal antibody specific to the fetal thymus antigen-1 of the mouse leukemia GRSL cell produced c...

Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of an organ or tissue from a stack of histologic serial sections provides valuable morphological information. The procedure includes section preparation of the organ or tissue, micrographs acquisition, image registration, 3D reconstruction, and visualization. However, the brightness and contrast through the image stack may not be consistent due to imperfect...

The original optical flow algorithm [1] dealt with a flow field that could vary from place to place in the image, as would typically occur when a camera is moved through a three-dimensional environment—or if objects moved in front of a fixed camera. A related, but simpler problem, is that of recovering the motion of an image, all parts of which move with the same velocity (section 4.3 in [2]). ...

PURPOSE Fractal dimension of retinal vasculature is a global summary measure of retinal vascular network pattern and geometry. This study was conducted to examine the effect of variations in image color, brightness, focus, contrast, and format on the measurement of retinal vascular fractal dimension. METHODS A set of 30 retinal images from the Blue Mountains Eye Study was used for a series of...
