Invertible Orientation Scores of 3D Images
The enhancement and detection of elongated structures in noisy image data is
relevant for many biomedical applications. To handle complex crossing
structures in 2D images, 2D orientation scores were introduced, which already
showed their use in a variety of applications. Here we extend this work to 3D
orientation scores. First, we construct the orientation score from a given
dataset, which is achieved by an invertible coherent state type of transform.
For this transformation we introduce 3D versions of the 2D cake-wavelets, which
are complex wavelets that can simultaneously detect oriented structures and
oriented edges. For efficient implementation of the different steps in the
wavelet creation we use a spherical harmonic transform. Finally, we show some
first results of practical applications of 3D orientation scores.Comment: ssvm 2015 published version in LNCS contains a mistake (a switch

View subspaces for indexing and retrieval of 3D models
View-based indexing schemes for 3D object retrieval are gaining popularity
since they provide good retrieval results. These schemes are coherent with the
theory that humans recognize objects based on their 2D appearances. The
viewbased techniques also allow users to search with various queries such as
binary images, range images and even 2D sketches. The previous view-based
techniques use classical 2D shape descriptors such as Fourier invariants,
Zernike moments, Scale Invariant Feature Transform-based local features and 2D
Digital Fourier Transform coefficients. These methods describe each object
independent of others. In this work, we explore data driven subspace models,
such as Principal Component Analysis, Independent Component Analysis and
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization to describe the shape information of the
views. We treat the depth images obtained from various points of the view
sphere as 2D intensity images and train a subspace to extract the inherent
structure of the views within a database. We also show the benefit of
categorizing shapes according to their eigenvalue spread. Both the shape
categorization and data-driven feature set conjectures are tested on the PSB
database and compared with the competitor view-based 3D shape retrieval

Virtual sensors for local, three dimensional, broadband multiple-channel active noise control and the effects on the quiet zones
In this paper, two state of the art virtual sensor algorithms, i.e. the Remote Microphone Technique (RMT) and the Kalman filter based Virtual Sensing algorithm (KVS) are compared, in both state space (SS) and finite impulse response (FIR) implementations. The comparison focuses on the accuracy of the estimated sound pressure signals at the virtual locations and is based on actual measurements in a practical situation. The FIR implementation of the RMT algorithm was found to produce the most reliable results. It is implemented in a local, three dimensional, real-time, multiple-channel, broadband active noise control system. With this implementation, the benefits and limitations of the RMT-ANC system on the shape and size of the quiet zones are investigated
