In this paper, we give a brief description of the mathematical base of phase unwrapping, and a detailed description of the unweighted and weighted least square phase unwrapping algorithm.Then our algorithm combining with the weighted least square phase unwrapping guided by the branch-cuts derived from Goldstein’ s algorithm and coherence coefficient map derived from the INSAR data is provided. In our experiment we write subroutines of the Goldstein’s branch-cut algorithm,unweighted and weighted least square phase unwrapping algorithm as well as our algorithm,and construct a small experiment system to resolve the phase unwrapping problem. Finally we test our algorithm on some INSAR data. The result shows that our approach can obtain unwrapped phase correctly and efficiently.展开更多

Moreover, ...Similarity coefficient mapping(SCM) aims to improve the morphological evaluation of T*2weighted magnetic resonance imaging(T*2-w MRI). However, how to interpret the generated SCM map is still pending. Moreover, is it probable to extract tissue dissimilarity messages based on the theory behind SCM? The primary purpose of this paper is to address these two questions. First, the theory of SCM was interpreted from the perspective of linear fitting. Then, a term was embedded for tissue dissimilarity information. Finally, our method was validated with sixteen human brain image series from multiecho T*2-w MRI. Generated maps were investigated from signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) and perceived visual quality, and then interpreted from intra- and inter-tissue intensity. Experimental results show that both perceptibility of anatomical structures and tissue contrast are improved. More importantly, tissue similarity or dissimilarity can be quantified and cross-validated from pixel intensity analysis. This method benefits image enhancement, tissue classification, malformation detection and morphological evaluation.展开更多

As such, health behavior reflects a person’s health beliefs and attracts many published papers in academics. However, who is the most influential author (MIA) remains unknown. Objective: The purpose of this study is to apply the algorithm of between centrality(BC) in social network analysis (SNA) to select the MIA on the topic of health behavior using the visual displays on Google Maps. Methods: We obtained 3,593 abstracts from Medline based on the keywords of (health [Title]) and (behavior [Title] or behaviour [Title]) on June 30, 2018. The author names, countries/areas, and author-defined keywords were recorded. The BCs were applied to (1) select the MIA using SNA;(2) display the countries/areas distributed for the 1st author in geography,(3) discover the author clusters dispersed on Google Maps, and (4) investigate the keywords dispersed for the cluster related to the MIA on a dashboard. Pajek software was performed to yield the BC for each entity (or say node). Results: We found that the MIA is Spring, Bonnie (US). All visual representations that are the form of a dashboard can be easily displayed on Google Maps. The most influential country and the keywords are the US and health behavior. Readers are suggested to manipulate them on their own on Google Maps. Conclusion: Social network analysis provides wide and deep insight into the relationships with the pattern of international author collaborations. If incorporated with Google Maps, the dashboard can release much more information regarding our interesting topics for us in academics. The research approach using the BC to identify the same author names can be applied to other bibliometric analyses in the future.展开更多
