However, due to the complexity of SAR imaging mechanism, interpreting targets in SAR images is a tough problem. This paper presents a new aircraft interpretation method based on the joint time-frequency analysis and multi-dimensional contrasting of basic structures. Moreover, SAR data acquisition experiment is designed for interpreting the aircraft. Analyzing the experiment data with our method, the result shows that the proposed method largely makes use of the SAR data information. The reasonable results can provide some auxiliary support for the SAR images manual interpretation.展开更多

Although preoperative computer surgical analysis has been widely used in daily clinical practice, intraoperative computer assisted solutions for risk analysis and navigation in liver surgery are not widely available or still under clinical evaluation. Computer science technology can efficiently assist modern surgeons during complex liver operations, mainly by providing image guidance with individualized 2 D images and 3 D models of the various anatomical and pathological structures of interest. Intraoperative computer assisted liver surgery is particularly useful in complex parenchyma-sparing hepatectomies, for intraoperative risk analysis and for the effective treatment of colorectal metastases after neoadjuvant therapy or when they are multiple. In laparoscopic liver surgery, intraoperative computer aid is definitively more important as, apart from a restricted field of view, there is also loss of the fine haptic feedback. Intraoperative computer assisted developments face challenges that prevent their application in daily clinical practice. There is a vast variety of studies regarding intraoperative computer assisted liver surgery but there are no clear objective measurements in order to compare them and select the most effective solutions. An overview of up-to-date intraoperative computer assisted solutions for liver surgery will be discussed.展开更多

Methods:A computer-assisted binocular indirect ophthalmoscope imaging and output system was equipped with camera and image processing hardware and connected to computers. The process of fundus examination was videotaped (photograph) and output. Simulated eyes were utilized to debug video head and acquire stable and clear fundus images by binocular indirect ophthalmoscope for premature infants. Results:Fundus imaging output technique was sucessfully established. The common reasons of unclear imaging and corresponding solutions were summarized. This technique can capture and output stable and clear fundus images of premature infants. Conclusion: Assisted by hardware and software processing, a compute assisted binocular indirect ophthalmoscope imaging and output system was established,which can be used for screening, research, treatment and follow-up of ROP in premature babies to resolve the difficulty in obtaining clear fundus photograph.展开更多

However, current annotation techniques make no further investigation of the statement-level syntactic correlation among the annotated words, therefore making it very difficult to render natural language interpretation for images such as "pandas eat bamboo". In this paper, we propose an approach to interpret image semantics through mining the visible and textual information hidden in images. This approach mainly consists of two parts: first the annotated words of target images are ranked according to two factors, namely the visual correlation and the pairwise co-occurrence; then the statement-level syntactic correlation among annotated words is explored and natural language interpretation for the target image is obtained. Experiments conducted on real-world web images show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.展开更多

The real space is represented by a patient’s bone where a set of cuts by means of robot system is to be made. The virtual space is a 3D model of the bone reconstructed from a set of CT slices. Robot system is then not only to machine bones but also to perform the fundamental step of registration between the two spaces. An external force sensor is used to adjust robot stiffness in order to perform the tactile searching necessary for the registration. A simple but reliable software algorithm is used to control the robot for matching between medical image and robot space in robot-assisted surgery. The results show the system proposed is precise enough for application, and tests been made also clarify the way to improve it.展开更多
