A method and system of providing segmentation of volumetric three-dimensional image data set such as MRA images. Initially, a three-dimensional MRA volume is input. An initial surface S is then generated by thresholding the input. A signed distance function v to S is then generated, where v=v(x,t) and S is the zero level set of v(·,0). The process proceeds by iteratively updating v according to v t = λ ( ∇ v ( x , t ) , ∇ 2 v ( x , t ) ) + g ′ g ∇ v ( x , t ) · H ∇ I &LeftBracketingBar; ∇ I &RightBracketingBar; , the updating terminates at convergence or as determined by an operator. S′ is then defined to be the zero level set of the current distance function v′ and reinitialize v′ to be a distance function to S′. The volume is continually iteratively updated such that a final distance function v is obtained. The first output obtained from this volume is a segmentation of vessels in the MRA data, obtained by computing the zero level set of v.

An image processing system and methods of operation within such a system are disclosed. The image processing system utilizes a class model defined by one or more relative relationships between a plurality of image patches. The relative relationships describe the overall organization of images within an image class. The relative relationships are encoded in a global deformable template which can be used to classify or detect images. The class model may be predefined or generated by an image processing system.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for tracking an object(s), including identifying the object(s) by correlating video data from at least one video device, based on motion data of the object(s) for a previous time, determining that the object(s) movement is stopped, based on determining that the stopped object(s) is not occluded, monitoring the stopped object(s) properties, determining from the monitoring that the stopped object(s) is moving, and, resuming track of the object.
摘要:
An image processing system for generating a class model from an image by identifying relative relationships between different properties of different image regions, includes a region partitioner a relationship processor, a template generator and an image detector. The image processing system utilizes a class model defined by one or more relative relationships between a plurality of image patches. The relative relationships describe the overall organization of images within an image class. The relative relationships are encoded in a global deformable template which can be used to classify or detect images. The class model may be pre-defined or generated by the image processing system. In one embodiment, the class model is generated from a low resolution image.

The present invention provides an image data registration system and method of storing a first data set of three-dimensional image data associated with a predetermined portion of an object with reference to a first coordinate frame; obtaining and storing a second data set of three-dimensional image data associated with a surface of the predetermined portion of the object with reference to a second coordinate frame; and registering the first data set and the second data set to generate a matched image data set in which the first coordinate frame is aligned with the second coordinate frame. In an alternative embodiment, the present invention provides a method of registering three-dimensional data sets, comprising generating a first data set of image data with reference to a first coordinate frame; generating a second data set of image data with reference to a second coordinate frame; selecting a predetermined subset of data points from the first data set; matching the subset of data points to all possible corresponding subsets of data points associated with the second data set and producing a set of hypothesized transformation data sets; and sequentially mapping said second data set to each of the hypothesized transformation data sets to form a solution data set, the solution data set representative of a highly accurate transformation of the second data into the first coordinate frame associated with the first data set.
