3D medical volume segmentation using hybrid multiresolution statistical approaches
This article is available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund. Copyright © 2010 S AlZu’bi and A Amira.3D volume segmentation is the process of partitioning voxels into 3D regions (subvolumes) that represent meaningful physical entities which are more meaningful and easier to analyze and usable in future applications. Multiresolution Analysis (MRA) enables the preservation of an image according to certain levels of resolution or blurring. Because of multiresolution quality, wavelets have been deployed in image compression, denoising, and classification. This paper focuses on the implementation of efficient medical volume segmentation techniques. Multiresolution analysis including 3D wavelet and ridgelet has been used for feature extraction which can be modeled using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) to segment the volume slices. A comparison study has been carried out to evaluate 2D and 3D techniques which reveals that 3D methodologies can accurately detect the Region Of Interest (ROI). Automatic segmentation has been achieved using HMMs where the ROI is detected accurately but suffers a long computation time for its calculations
Object Detection in 20 Years: A Survey
Object detection, as of one the most fundamental and challenging problems in
computer vision, has received great attention in recent years. Its development
in the past two decades can be regarded as an epitome of computer vision
history. If we think of today's object detection as a technical aesthetics
under the power of deep learning, then turning back the clock 20 years we would
witness the wisdom of cold weapon era. This paper extensively reviews 400+
papers of object detection in the light of its technical evolution, spanning
over a quarter-century's time (from the 1990s to 2019). A number of topics have
been covered in this paper, including the milestone detectors in history,
detection datasets, metrics, fundamental building blocks of the detection
system, speed up techniques, and the recent state of the art detection methods.
This paper also reviews some important detection applications, such as
pedestrian detection, face detection, text detection, etc, and makes an in-deep
analysis of their challenges as well as technical improvements in recent years.Comment: This work has been submitted to the IEEE TPAMI for possible
