Automatic parameter setting for balloon modelsJ

چکیده
We describe a \learning{from{examples"{method to automatically adjust parameters for a balloon model. Our goal is to segment arbitrarily shaped objects in medical images with as little human interaction as possible. For our model, we identiied six signiicant parameters that are adjusted with respect to certain applications. These parameters are computed from one manual segmentation drawn by a physician. (1) The maximal edge length is derived from a polygon{approximation of the manual segmentation. (2) The size of the image subset that exerts external innuences on edges is set according to the scale of gradients normal to the contour. (3) The ooset of the assignment from greylevels to image potentials is adjusted such that the propulsive pressure overcomes image potentials in homogeneous parts of the image. (4) The gain of this assignment is tuned to stop the contour at the border of objects of interest. (5) The strength of deformation force is computed to balance the contour at edges with ambiguous image information. (6) These parameters are computed for both, positive and negative pressure. The variation that gives the best segmentation result is chosen. The analytically derived adjustments are optimized with a genetic algorithm that evolutionarily reduces the number of misdetected pixels. The method is used on a series of histochemically stained cells. Similar segmentation quality is obtained applying both, manual and automatic parameter setting. We further use the method on laryngoscopic color image sequences, where, even for experts, the manual adjustment of parameters is not applicable.

Influence of Pipeline Operating Pressure on Value Setting of Automatic Control Valves at Different Pressure Drop Rates
When a natural gas pipeline ruptures, the adjacent upstream and downstream automatic control valves (ACV) should close quickly to prevent leakage or explosion. The differential pressure set point (DPS) at each valve location is the main criteria for value setting in ACV actions. If the DPS is not properly adjusted, the ACV may mistakenly close or it may not take any actions at a proper ti...

When a natural gas pipeline ruptures, the adjacent automatic line control valves (ALCVs) should close quickly to prevent leakage or explosion. The differential pressure set point (DPS) at each valve location is the main criteria for value setting in ALCV action. If the DPS is not properly adjusted, the ALCV may mistakenly close or it may not take any action at proper time. This study focused on...

متن کاملAutomatic estimation of regularization parameter by active constraint balancing method for 3D inversion of gravity data
Gravity data inversion is one of the important steps in the interpretation of practical gravity data. The inversion result can be obtained by minimization of the Tikhonov objective function. The determination of an optimal regularization parameter is highly important in the gravity data inversion. In this work, an attempt was made to use the active constrain balancing (ACB) method to select the...
