چکیده

The use of dynamic instruction architectures based on eld-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) is described. Using this approach, an application speciic instruction based system has been designed for image segmentation which is an important stage in a computer vision system. The speciic application of interest here is texture-based page layout segmentation for document images. The complete segmentation algorithm has been designed for implementation on Splash 2 { an attached processor (for SUN SPARCstations) based on Xilinx 4010 FPGAs. It is estimated that seg-mentation of a 1,024 1,024 image will take less than 125 millisecond on a 16-board Splash 2 system compared to 250 seconds of CPU time on a SPARCstation 20.

Assessment of the Log-Euclidean Metric Performance in Diffusion Tensor Image Segmentation

Introduction: Appropriate definition of the distance measure between diffusion tensors has a deep impact on Diffusion Tensor Image (DTI) segmentation results. The geodesic metric is the best distance measure since it yields high-quality segmentation results. However, the important problem with the geodesic metric is a high computational cost of the algorithms based on it. The main goal of this ...
