Objective: To investigate the characteristics of vascular lesions in patients with a cerebellar watershed infarction. Methods: Clinical data from 178 cases of cerebellar infarction were collected with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan results, including diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), a magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and computed tomography angiography (CTA). The cases were divided...

This paper discusses the inverse problem of the watershed. From a partition obtained by the watershed from markers, find the minimal set of markers that reproduces the same watershed partition. We present a solution based on the minimum spanning tree and introduce the concept of marker receptive region. We also review the watershed transform based on the minimum spanning forest problem. Two app...

This paper is devoted to the study of watershed algorithms behavior. Through the introduction of a concept of pass value, we show that most classical watershed algorithms do not allow the retrieval of some important topological features of the image (in particular, saddle points are not correctly computed). An important consequence of this result is that it is not possible to compute sound meas...

Recently, Chai et al. proposed a threshold password authentication scheme that t out of n server nodes could efficiently carry out mutual authentication with a user while preserving strong security requirements in the mobile ad hoc networks. In this article, we will show that their scheme suffers from a number of security vulnerabilities by passive attacks.
