FEMUR SHAPE RECOVERY FROM VOLUMETRIC IMAGES USING 3-D DEFORMABLE MODELS

IntroductionThe rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament( ACL) has become the most common knee in-juries.In operation of ACL reconstruction,thesurgeons have to find the optimal attachmentpoints resulting in a low anisometry of the graft,while preventing impingement between the graftand the femoral notch.Markus Fleute andStéphane lavallée[1] proposed a real- time systemfor computer- assisted ACL surgery.A recentadvance in surgery is minimally invasive tech-nique that can avoid the large…     

AN EFFECTIVE HUMAN LEG MODELING METHOD

IntroductionFFD is a widely used technique in the field ofsolid modeling and computer animation.Seder-berg and Parry introduced the conceptof FFD[1] ,and Barr provided the basic deformation methodfor FFD[2 ] .Although there are several versionsof FFD in the related literature[3～ 6 ] ,they havethe same basic idea:1 Constructa lattice space.The space can be of any shape,not restricted toparallel- piped cube[5 ] .2 Embed the object intothe lattice space.In other words,impose a localcoordi…     

AN EFFICIENT FAST ENCODING ALGORITHM FOR VECTOR QUANTIZATION

IntroductionAs an effective technique for data compression,VQ[1,2 ] has been successfully used forvarious ap-plications involving VQ- based encoding and VQ-based recognition in both vocal and image pro-cessing.The k- dimensional,N- level vectorquantizer is defined as a mapping from a k- di-mensional Euclidean space Rkinto a certain finitesubset C={Ci,i=1 ,2 ,… ,N },which is called acodebook and whose elements Ci are called code-words.A distortion measure D( X,Ci) is a non-negative dissi…     

DESIGN OF A NEW INTERPOLATED CONTROLLER FOR STABILIZATION OF A SET OF INTERPOLATED PLANTS

IntroductionDynamics of almost all plants in reality variesaccording to the condition under which the plantis operated.An idea to describe the variation ofplant dynamics is interpolating a number of rep-resentative models defined at representative op-erating points.In Ref. [1 ] ,the plant was as-sumed to described as a linear interpolation ofproper stable coprime factorizations of transferfunctions of two representative models and thestabilization problems have been considered. InRef.[2 ] ,it…     

STUDY ON CONFLICT MANAGEMENT FOR COLLABORATIVE DESIGN SYSTEM

IntroductionAdvances in computer networks and informationtechnology have enabled product designers tomore effectively communicate,collaborate,ob-tain and exchange a wide range of design re-sources during product development.ComputerSupported Cooperative Work( CSCW) describesa research area concerned with people working ingroups and computer systems supporting them,and collaborative design is an important applica-tion of CSCW.Collaborative design has typicallydistributed multiple functional…     

GLOBAL MEASURE ON IMAGE CONTENT

IntroductionContent- based image retrieval has been proposedto allow retrieval to be performed on the basis ofa variety of aspects of image content[1] .A chal-lenging problem arises with many imagedatabases,within which queries are posed via vi-sual or pictorial examples.A common visualquery to an image database system would involvefinding all images in the database which containa subimage that is similar to the query image.Such retrievals must be based on embedded con-tent features,such as sh…     

Incrementally Exploiting Sentential Association for Email Classification

Introduction Email classification can be cast into text classifi-cation (TC). Many methods have been proposed forTC, which can be extended to Email domain. Popularmethods include NaiveBayes, decision trees, supportvector machine (SVM) and association rule…     

论执行《国际安全管理规则》对承运人适航义务认定之若干影响

国际安全管理规则（ＩＳＭＣ）已强制执行，它是迄今为止国际海事组织在船舶安全及防污染方面所制订的最为严厉的规范。其“适航管理”概念的引入必将对承运人适航义务的认定产生重大的影响，承运人提单下责任也因此而加重     

PREDICTION OF WELDING DEFORMATIONS BY FEM BASED ON INHERENT STRAINS

IntroductionIt is of importance to predict and control theresidual deformations caused by welding pro-cesses to ensure the accuracy of a welded produc-tion.Nowadays there are three ways to deter-mine the welding deformations:( 1 ) empiricalformulas or curves based on the experiments;( 2 ) thermo- elasto- plastic analysis by FEM;( 3)inherent strain method.The empirical formulasare only suited to the cases of simple plates orbeams that undergo a welding cycle close to theexperiment conditions. …     

SOFT COMPUTING APPROACH FOR NOISY IMAGE RESTORATION

IntroductionSoftcomputing is a consortium of different com-puting tools to deal with real world problems ef-ficiently.The aim of softcomputing is to exploitthe tolerance for imprecision and uncertainty toachieve tractability,robustness and low cost[1] .Neurocomputing is one of the major componentsof soft computing,the other two important con-stituents are fuzzy logic and probabilistic reason-ing,which subsumes belief networks,geneticalgorithms and chaotic systems.Often,to solvea fairly complex…
