Refraction corrected transmission imaging based on Bézier curves: first results with KIT 3D USCT [PDF]
The computational complexity of wave-based image ultrasound transmission reconstructionsis very high especially in 3D. Hence, ray-based approximations are often used.

Robust semi-automated path extraction for visualising stenosis of the coronary arteries [PDF]
Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is useful for diagnosing and planning treatment of heart disease. However, contrast agent in surrounding structures (such as the aorta and left ventricle) makes 3-D visualisation of the coronary arteries difficult ...

Teleseismic Tomography for Imaging the Upper Mantle Beneath Northeast China
Tomographic imaging technology is a geophysical inversion method. According to the ray scanning, this method carries on the inversion calculation to the obtained information, and reconstructs the image of the parameter distribution rule of elastic wave ...

EDGE PRESERVING FILTERS USING GEODESIC DISTANCES ON WEIGHTED ORTHOGONAL DOMAINS [PDF]
We introduce a framework for image enhancement, which smooths images while preserving edge information. Domain (spatial) and range (feature) information are combined in one single measure in a principled way.

PATH PLANNING OF TRACTOR-TRAILER ROBOT BY FAST MARCHING METHODE (FMM) [PDF]
This paper deals with motion planning of Tractor-trailer robots, which are car-like robot dragging several trailers with no driving force. Each trailer has a nonholonomic kinematic constraint which increases the complexity of the path planning problem ...

Sub-Riemannian Fast Marching in SE(2)
We propose a Fast Marching based implementation for computing sub-Riemanninan (SR) geodesics in the roto-translation group SE(2), with a metric depending on a cost induced by the image data.

UAVs Formation Approach Using Fast Marching Square Methods [PDF]
This article presents a novel method for the management of UAVs formations. Based on the fast marching square (FM2) technique, the proposed method allows the generation of soft realizable paths for a formation in leader-followers configuration, keeping a desired geometry among its different agents.
