A method for reconstructing a signal from incomplete data in a signal processing device includes acquiring incomplete signal data. An initial reconstruction of the incomplete signal data is generated. A reconstruction is generated starting from the initial reconstruction by repeating the steps of: calculating a sparsity transform of the reconstruction, measuring an approximation of sparsity of the reconstruction by applying an m-estimator to the calculated sparsity transform, and iteratively optimizing the reconstruction to minimize output of the m-estimator thereby maximizing the approximation of sparsity for the reconstruction. The optimized reconstruction is provided as a representation of the incomplete data.

A method for segmenting a digital image includes initializing object and background seed nodes in an image, where the image is represented as a graph G=(V, E) whose nodes iεV correspond to image points and whose edges eεE connect adjacent points, where set M⊂V contains locations of nodes marked as seeds, set U⊂V contains locations of unmarked nodes, set O⊂M contains locations of object seed nodes, and set B⊂M contains locations of background seed nodes, assigning to each seed node a membership value such that ∀iεO,xi=1 and ∀iεB,xi=0, where each node iεV is associated with a membership xiε[0,1], and finding a membership vector xε, whose ith entry is given by xi that minimizes E p ( x ) = ∑ eij ∈ E w ij x i - x j pij , where each edge eijεE connecting nodes i and j in V is associated with a weight wij and an exponent pij, and ∀eijεE,1≦pij
摘要:
An improved method of graph-based segmentation of objects in images uses the property of rectilinear shape classes which optimize the ratio of specific metrics, that can be expressed as Laplacian matrices applied to indicator vectors. A relaxation of the binary formulation of this problem allows a solution via generalized eigenvectors. This segmentation algorithm incorporating shape information requires no initialization, is non -iterative and finds a steady-state (i.e., global optimum) solution. The method is generally applicable to segmentation of rectilinear shapes.

Methods and systems dedicated to automatic object segmentation from image data are provided. In a first step a fuzzy seed set is generated that is learned from training data. The fuzzy seed set is registered to image data containing an object that needs to be segmented from a background. In a second step a random walker segmentation is applied to the image data by using the fuzzy seed set as an automatic seeding for segmentation. Liver segmentation, lung segmentation and kidney segmentation examples are provided.

A system and method for automatically determining the standard cardiac image views as defined by the American Heart Association from volumetric data of the chest including the heart. The system and method can be used by a health practitioner to quickly see the two dimensional views from which a diagnosis is generally made. The left ventricle is detected. Then the relative orientation of the right ventricle is determined and the standard cardiac views are determined.

A method for image segmentation includes specifying seed points in an image of interest, the seed points corresponding to a node in a seed texture, each seed point having a different color. The method includes determining a matrix for each node, including neighboring edge weights of each node, and determining a probability that a node can be characterized as each seed point. The method includes assigning the node the color of a most probable seed point, and outputting a segmentation of the image of interest according to node assignments, wherein the segmentation differentiates portions of the image of interest.

A method for segmenting image data within a data processing system includes acquiring an image. One or more seed points are established within the image. An advection vector field is computed based on image influences and user input. A dye concentration is determined at each of a plurality of portions of the image that results from a diffusion of dye within the computed advection field. The image is segmented into one or more regions based on the determined dye concentration for the corresponding dye.
