This paper discusses a relatively new procedure in the computer-assisted design of pattern-extraction algorithms. The procedure involves the adaptation of genetic programming, a recent technique that has been used for automatic programming, for image processing and analysis. This paper summarizes several of the measures we have taken to develop two prototype systems that help a user to design p...

This paper focuses on the task of automatic feature detection for computer-assisted fixation of hip fractures. The features of interest are the lateral cortex line, the femoral neck centre and the femoral head centre, the latter being the most challenging of all. A nonconventional “divide-and-conquer” knowledgebased approach produces more reliable and faster results than the standard global ima...

Despite rapid developments in the research areas of medical imaging, medical image processing, and robotics, the use of computer assistance in surgical routine is still limited to diagnostics, surgical planning, and interventions on mostly rigid structures. In order to establish a computer-aided workflow from diagnosis to surgical treatment and follow-up, several proposals for computer-assisted...

Introduction: Nowadays applying computer in image processing is being improved revolutionary for solving medical images deficiencies. Image features that are analysis in image processing show image information. The aim of the present study was to find correlation between CT- scan and MRI images' features. Materials and Methods: After data acquisition, applying...

In this paper we describe a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for automated detection of pulmonary nodules in computed-tomography (CT) images. After extracting the pulmonary parenchyma using a combination of image processing techniques, a region growing method is applied to detect nodules based on 3D geometric features. We applied the CAD system to CT scans collected in a screening program ...

Within the communication process of human beings, the speaker’s facial expression and lip-shape movement contains extremely rich language information. The hearing impaired, aside from using residual listening to communicate with other people, can also use lip reading as a communication tool. As the hearing impaired learn the lip reading using a computer-assisted lip-reading system, they can fre...

The Digital image processing helps the ophthalmologists in distinguishing the vascular irregularities in order to detect some disorders related to retina like Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), and Glaucoma etc., which can cause visual impairments. The retinal fundus images of the patients are procured by capturing the fundus of the eye with a digital fondues cam...
