Tracking of Fibers in 3D Paper Structures Obtained by an Automated Microtomy Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel method for digitization of paper structure, based on automated microtomy combined with optical microscopy, is presented. The concept is capable of obtaining digitized 3D paper structure data for sample areas in the range of several square millimeters within a time range of several hours. Individual fibers are tracked through the 3D fiber network using advanced image analysis algorithms. A novel algorithm referred to as "MSERTracking" was developed. Based on the results of MSER-Tracking, numerous features of detected fibers can be extracted. First results of this concept are presented and the potential for future research is discussed.

An Automated MR Image Segmentation System Using Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network
Background: Brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3D anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. Due to image arti...

متن کامل3D Scene and Object Classification Based on Information Complexity of Depth Data
In this paper the problem of 3D scene and object classification from depth data is addressed. In contrast to high-dimensional feature-based representation, the depth data is described in a low dimensional space. In order to remedy the curse of dimensionality problem, the depth data is described by a sparse model over a learned dictionary. Exploiting the algorithmic information theory, a new def...
متن کاملPerformance of Automated Project Progress Tracking with 3d Data Fusion
In the Architectural-Engineering-Construction & Facility Management industry, project progress tracking is an important management task. Currently, this task still requires a significant amount of non value-adding manual effort that interferes with value-adding work. Additionally, current practice may lead to approximate or unreliable results. In this paper, the authors present an approach fusi...
متن کاملA New Automated Microtomy Concept for 3D Paper Structure Analysis
This paper describes a novel prototype for automated digitization of the three-dimensional paper structure. The concept is based on a light microscope which is rigidly attached to a microtome. The microscope can be moved in all three directions of space with high accuracy in order to be able to digitize large samples with high spatial resolution. All components are controlled by a PC interface ...
