This paper studies the nonzero normal vector fields of immersions homotopic to a map g: Mn→N2n-1. In the case of the stable normal bundle of g being orientable, rather complete results are obtained.

The recently proposed gradient vector flow in the normal direction （NGVF） is anisotropic since it only keeps the diffusion along the normal direction of the isophotes; however, it has difficulties forcing a snake into long, thin boundary indentations. In this paper, a novel external force for active contours called normally generalized gradient vector flow （NGGVF） is proposed, which generalizes the NGVF formulation to include two spatially varying weighting functions. Consequently, the proposed NGGVF snake is anisotropic and would improve ac- tive contour convergence into long, thin boundary indentations while maintaining other desirable properties of the NGVF snake, such as enlarged capture range, initialization insensitivity and good convergence at concavities. The advantages on synthetic and real images are demonstrated.展开更多

The col relation coefficient (R) between the estimated bp and experimental bp is 0.9988 and the root mean square error (RMS) is 7.907 degreesC for 66 AHs. The RMS obtained by cross-validation is 9.131 degreesC, which implies the relationship model having good prediction ability.展开更多
