We propose an approach for the simultaneous bounding box estimation of multiple organs in volumetric CT images. Local eigen-organ spaces are constructed for different types of training organs, and a global eigen-space, which describes the spatial relationships between the organs, is also constructed. Each volume of interest in the abdominal CT image is projected into the local eigen-organ space...

We investigate the expressive power of MATLANG, a formal language for matrix manipulation based on common matrix operations and linear algebra. The language can be extended with the operation inv of inverting a matrix. In MATLANG + inv we can compute the transitive closure of directed graphs, whereas we show that this is not possible without inversion. Indeed we show that the basic language can...

Deformations in handwritten characters have category-dependent tendencies. In this paper, the estimation and the utilization of such tendencies called eigen-deformations are investigated for the better performance of elastic matching based handwritten character recognition. The eigen-deformations are estimated by the principal component analysis of actual deformations automatically collected by...

We survey and extend the recent progress in polynomial root-finding based on reducing the problem to eigen-solving for highly structured generalized companion matrices. In particular we cover the selection of the eigen-solvers and the matrices and the resulting benefits based on exploiting matrix structure. No good estimates for global convergence of the basic eigen-solvers have been proved, bu...

Visual inspection of diffuse lung disease (DLD) patterns on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is difficult because of their high complexity. We proposed a bag of words based method on the classification of these textural patters in order to improve the detection and diagnosis of DLD for radiologists. Six kinds of typical pulmonary patterns were considered in this work. They were consol...

This paper mainly discusses the stable gesture classification criteria, which can identify several human motions from a sequence of images with the eigen space method. We have already proposed the gesture classification technique with the silhouette images and the PCA method, which includes the difficulty in the correspondence between two sets of eigen points, i.e. dictionary and input sequence...
