Isolated kinematic properties of visible speech can provide information for lip reading. Kinematic facial information is isolated by darkening an actor's face and attaching dots to various articulators so that only moving dots can be seen with no facial features present. To test the salience of these images, the authors conducted experiments to determine whether the images could visually influe...

Textual annotations enhance visualizations and provide additional information such as object names or measures, e.g. volumes or distances. They are essential for surgery planning, in particular for documentation and collaborative discussions. For optimal use, it is crucial that the relation between visualized objects and related annotations is unambiguous and easily perceived. We describe a fra...

Recently, different approaches for uncalibrated stereo have been suggested which permit projective reconstruction from multiple views. These use weak calibration which is represented by the epipolar geometry, and so no knowledge of the intrinsic or extrinsic camera parameters is required. In this paper we consider projective reconstructions from pairs of views, and compare a number of the avail...

ESTRO 35 2016 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ cm amplitude. A Fourier Transform (FT) was used to calculate the MTF of the images for the static and moving phantom. The MTF of five commonly used LOG filters were calculated. The response of the filters was compared with the MTF of the images to determine if the motion would aff...

We propose a method for the matching of characteristics of stereo images based on the concepts of an initial global match and the foveation of the images. We present several macular tilings that can be used in the foveation process. Given a pair of cameras that image a static scene, vergence is achieved at a minimun of the mse difference between the two corresponding macular images.

Regions in the occipitotemporal cortex (OTC) show clear selectivity to static images of human body parts, and upper limbs in particular, with respect to other object categories. Such selectivity was previously attributed to shape aspects, which presumably vary across categories. Alternatively, it has been proposed that functional selectivity for upper limbs is driven by processing of their dist...

The spatio-temporal correlation of natural images during fixational eye instability is studied. The statistics of eye movements and static natural images are first analyzed separately and then combined to obtain an analytical formula for the correlation function. Previous work on this subject is presented and important shortcomings are pointed out. A more rigorous and general formula is derived...

On-line images of wear debris contain important information for real-time condition monitoring, and a dynamic imaging technique can eliminate particle overlaps commonly found in static images, for instance, acquired using ferrography. However, dynamic wear debris images captured in a running machine are unavoidably blurred because the particles in lubricant are in motion. Hence, it is difficult...

OBJECTIVES To test the reliability of new ultrasound (US) definitions and quantification of synovial hypertrophy (SH) and power Doppler (PD) signal, separately and in combination, in a range of joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using the European League Against Rheumatisms-Outcomes Measures in Rheumatology (EULAR-OMERACT) combined score for PD and SH. METHODS A stepwise approa...
