To improve the environment perception ability of wheeled mobile robots (WMRs), visual behavior mechanism negative-correlation motion chameleons is introduced into binocular vision system WMRs, and a shifty-behavior-based model with chameleon-inspired active for WMRs established, where vision–motor coordination achieved. First, target search sub-model built. The relationship between rotation ang...

Introduction: Variable resolution x-ray (VRX) CT is a new type of CT that can image objects at various spatial resolutions. In a VRX CT scanner, the spatial resolution increases at the cost of reduction in the field of view (FOV). An important factor that limits the spatial resolution of the VRX CT is the effect of focal spot size. Also, the optimum magnification is different at each incident a...

In this paper, we address the issue of tracking moving objects in an environment covered by multiple uncalibrated cameras with overlapping fields of view, typical of most surveillance setups. In such a scenario, it is essential to establish correspondence between tracks of the same object, seen in different cameras, to recover complete information about the object. We call this the problem of c...

Typically, pseudo-Computerized Tomography (CT) synthesis schemes proposed in the literature rely on complete atlases acquired with same field of view (FOV) as input volume. However, clinical CTs are usually a reduced FOV to decrease patient ionization. In this work, we present Franken-CT approach, showing how use non-parametric atlas composed diverse anatomical overlapping Magnetic Resonance (M...

The accuracy of target position detection in IR seeker depends on the accuracy of tracking error signal (TES) extraction from seeker Field of View (FOV). The type of reticle inside the seeker determines the output modulation signal that carries the TES. In this paper, the stationary wagon wheel reticle is used, which makes the type of the output signal as FM modulation in the linear region of F...

In this paper, we present an automated wide area surveillance system that detects, tracks, classifies moving objects across multiple cameras. In addition, it detects unusual activities carried out by objects in the area under observation. At the single camera level, objects are detected using a robust background subtraction approach, then tracking is performed using a voting scheme that utilize...

objective(s): the present study was conducted to examine whether the standardized uptake value (suv) may be affected by the spatial position of a lesion in the radial direction on positron emission tomography (pet) images, obtained via two methods based on time-of-flight (tof) reconstruction and point spread function (psf). methods: a cylinder phantom with the sphere (30mm diameter), located in...

Introduction: Metal-supported porcelain crowns (MSPC) and bridge restorations may be present in the mouths of patients undergoing CBCT imaging. Artifacts that are caused by these MSPCs may adversely affect image quality. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of different FOV (field of view) and localization in FOV on metal artifacts caused by MSPC. Methods:</...

objectives: this study aimed to assess the effect of voxel size and object location in the field of view (fov) on diagnostic accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (cbct) for detection of simulated bone defects. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, bone defects were drilled in four sections of a dry human mandible. bone blocks were fixed on a platform parallel to the horizontal pla...
