    摘要: In image registration, a similarity measure is computed of first and second images (4, 6) offset at a plurality of relative axial offsets (30). A starting relative axial offset (40) between the first and second images is identified based on the computed similarity measures. An iterative image registration process is performed to relatively register the first and second images (4, 6) using the identified starting relative axial offset between the first and second images as an initial condition for the iterative image registration process. A starting relative in-slice offset (42) may also be identified as an in-slice offset effective to align corresponding slices of the first and second images (4, 6) offset at the starting relative axial offset (40), the identified starting relative in-slice offset also being used as an initial condition for the iterative image registration process.

    摘要: An image processing system and method employs a registration processor (130) to calculate a statistical measure of likelihood for two volumetric images (110, 112). The likelihood is calculated based on an assumption that the voxel values in two images in registration are probabilitically related. The likelihood is calculated for a plurality of relative transformations in iterative fashion until a transformation that maximizes the likelihood is found. The transformation that maximizes the likelihood provides an optimal registration and the parameters for the optimized transform are output to memory (150) for use by a display system (160) in aligning the images for display as a fused or composite image. If statistics about the relationship between the involved images are known, a mutation probability can be derived and used in the likelihood calculation. If there is no such prior knowledge, the mutation probability can be estimated purely from the image data. All voxel pairs in the overlapping volume or, alternatively, a portion of it can be used to compute the likelihood. The optimized likelihood has a simple and less abstract interpretation and can be further used to provide an indication of the quality of the registration.

    摘要: A flat-panel liquid crystal display. The display includes a flat sheet of bistable chiral nematic liquid crystal material activated by a drive circuit that individually controls the display state of multiple picture elements. The driver circuitry activates the liquid crystal domains with various drive schemes which have any number of different phases to attain various addressing sequence times. At the end of each drive scheme, the texture of the liquid crystal material is allowed to provide either focal conic or twisted planar end states across the two-dimensional array of picture elements. Each drive scheme employs at least a preparation phase and a selection phase to predispose the liquid crystal material to one of the end states.

    摘要: Bistable cholesteric liquid crystal material is disposed between opposed substrates, wherein one of the substrates has a first plurality of electrodes facing a second plurality of electrodes on the other substrate, wherein the intersection of the first and the second plurality of electrodes forms a plurality of pixels. The material is addressed by applying a preparation voltage across the first and second plurality of electrodes and then subsequently applying a selection voltage across the first and second plurality of electrodes. The material is then allowed to relax for a period of time, whereupon the preparation and selection voltages are reapplied. These steps are repeated until the liquid crystal material obtains the desired reflectance.
