Efficient reconfigurable architectures for 3D medical image compression

This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Recently, the more widespread use of three-dimensional (3-D) imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasound (US) have generated a massive amount of volumetric data. These have provided an impetus to the development of other applications, in particular telemedicine and teleradiology. In these fields, medical image compression is important since both efficient storage and transmission of data through high-bandwidth digital communication lines are of crucial importance. Despite their advantages, most 3-D medical imaging algorithms are computationally intensive with matrix transformation as the most fundamental operation involved in the transform-based methods. Therefore, there is a real need for high-performance systems, whilst keeping architectures exible to allow for quick upgradeability with real-time applications. Moreover, in order to obtain efficient solutions for large medical volumes data, an efficient implementation of these operations is of significant importance. Reconfigurable hardware, in the form of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) has been proposed as viable system building block in the construction of high-performance systems at an economical price. Consequently, FPGAs seem an ideal candidate to harness and exploit their inherent advantages such as massive parallelism capabilities, multimillion gate counts, and special low-power packages. The key achievements of the work presented in this thesis are summarised as follows. Two architectures for 3-D Haar wavelet transform (HWT) have been proposed based on transpose-based computation and partial reconfiguration suitable for 3-D medical imaging applications. These applications require continuous hardware servicing, and as a result dynamic partial reconfiguration (DPR) has been introduced. Comparative study for both non-partial and partial reconfiguration implementation has shown that DPR offers many advantages and leads to a compelling solution for implementing computationally intensive applications such as 3-D medical image compression. Using DPR, several large systems are mapped to small hardware resources, and the area, power consumption as well as maximum frequency are optimised and improved. Moreover, an FPGA-based architecture of the finite Radon transform (FRAT)with three design strategies has been proposed: direct implementation of pseudo-code with a sequential or pipelined description, and block random access memory (BRAM)- based method. An analysis with various medical imaging modalities has been carried out. Results obtained for image de-noising implementation using FRAT exhibits promising results in reducing Gaussian white noise in medical images. In terms of hardware implementation, promising trade-offs on maximum frequency, throughput and area are also achieved. Furthermore, a novel hardware implementation of 3-D medical image compression system with context-based adaptive variable length coding (CAVLC) has been proposed. An evaluation of the 3-D integer transform (IT) and the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with lifting scheme (LS) for transform blocks reveal that 3-D IT demonstrates better computational complexity than the 3-D DWT, whilst the 3-D DWT with LS exhibits a lossless compression that is significantly useful for medical image compression. Additionally, an architecture of CAVLC that is capable of compressing high-definition (HD) images in real-time without any buffer between the quantiser and the entropy coder is proposed. Through a judicious parallelisation, promising results have been obtained with limited resources. In summary, this research is tackling the issues of massive 3-D medical volumes data that requires compression as well as hardware implementation to accelerate the slowest operations in the system. Results obtained also reveal a significant achievement in terms of the architecture efficiency and applications performance.Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia (MOHE), Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) and the British Counci

Influence of Soil Exchangeable Cations on Growth, Nutrient Uptake and Physiology of Oil Palm Seedlings

Increasing the efficiency of nutrient uptake can significantly reduce the cost of production, since fertilizer cost is about 30% of total cost of oil palm production. Despite many agronomic trials on the response of oil palm to various fertilizers, there were few published information on the multidisciplinary study of physiological responses with cations e.g. potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). Therefore, this study is necessary to increase efficiency in the oil palm nutrient management system through multidisciplinary aspects of soil and plant physiology. The trial was conducted in the nursery of the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) Research Station in Lahad Datu, Sabah. Oil palm seedlings were grown in polybag filled with two types of soil i.e Semporna Family which contain high exchangeable Ca or Lumpongan Family with low exchangeable Ca. Semporna soil was tested at 32 levels of K and Mg and Lumpongan was tested at 33 levels of K, Ca and Mg with three replicates. Among the parameters studied were vegetative measurements, relative chlorophyll content and leaf relative water content. Destructive samplings of whole plants were done and seedlings were separated into rachis, pinnae, stem and roots. The tissues were then used to determine K, Mg and Ca concentrations and uptake. Soil samples were taken at the beginning and the end of trials and subsequently analysed for cations content. Leaf gas exchange parameters were measured using a portable infrared gas analyser two weeks before the final destructive sampling. Pre-treatment analysis showed that the exchangeable K, Mg and Ca in Lumpongan soil were 0.35, 6.74 and 6.07 cmol (+) kg-1 respectively. Meanwhile, in Semporna soil the exchangeable K, Mg and Ca were 0.17, 1.22 and 33.50 cmol (+) kg-1. Application of cation fertilizers significantly increased respective exchangeable cations in both soils. There were non significant increases in seedling dry matter components with regards of cations treatments in both soils. The concentration and uptake of K in seedling components were increased significantly by K fertilizer in both soils. Magnesium fertilizer was not recommended on Lumpongan soil but 6.69 g of Mg per seedling are needed to sustain the growth of seedling in Semporna soil. The seedling recovery efficiency for K and Ca in Lumpongan soil was about 3.65 and 1.21%, respectively. Meanwhile, in Semporna soil the recovery efficiency for K and Mg was about 4.56 and 2.54%, respectively. This study showed that total cation in oil palm seedling leaves was largely determined by soil exchangeable calcium rather than K or Mg. The proportion of individual tissue cation to total cations was fairly constant, i.e about 29% if the soil exchangeable calcium is high (> 25 cmol (+) kg-1). This was considered sufficiently balance for oil palm nutrient requirement. However, excessive amount of exchangeable Mg in soil (> 4.75 cmol (+) kg-1) such as Lumpongan soil resulted in an imbalance proportion of individual tissue cation to total cation. The oil palm seedling vegetative growth, leaf tissues turgidity and chlorophyll content exhibited less sensitivity to cation treatments as indicated by non significant difference in both soils. Excessive amount of Ca in Semporna soil contributed to low shoot to root ratio of the seedlings by 7 to 9% as compared to Lumpongan soil. The photosynthesis rate on Lumpongan and Semporna soils ranged from 8.52 to 9.45 μmol m-2s-1 and 7.07 to 8.66 μmol m-2s-1, respectively. This implies that, cations treatments did not significantly reduce the photosynthesis rate. It was also concluded that the stomata conductance and intercellular CO2 concentrations of seedlings in both soils were adequate to support leaf gas exchange as indicated by non significant different between treatments. In conclusion, combinations of K1 (35.11 g K) + Mg0 (0 g Mg) + Ca1 (14 g Ca) and K2 (70.22 g K) + Mg1 (6.69 g Mg) were recommended for sustaining optimum growth, nutrient uptake and physiological requirement in oil palm seedlings grown in Lumpongan and Semporna soils, respectively. These combinations take into account the total dry matter production, uptake, recovery efficiency and physiological characteristics of oil palm seedlings at each cation levels
