In the present paper we propose a method for fast segmentation of ultrasound data. It is based on setting up a model depending on user input. We apply a matching scheme in order to obtain initial contours for 2D segmentation of several cross-sections of the organ by a discrete dynamic contour. Further, we set up an active image which drives the deformation of the dynamic contour. The active ima...

This paper describes a new method for automatic estimation of the contours of the femur and of the cranial cross-section in fetal ultrasound images. Our approach can be described as a regionbased maximum likelihood formulation of parametric deformable contours. This formulation provides robustness against the poor image quality, and allows simultaneous estimation of the contour parameters toget...

Eastman Kodak Company is using a scanner-based image quality measurement system to perform production line testing of the image quality of a high-quality thermal media based imaging system. Automating this process has led to increased throughput, has guaranteed uniformity in measurement methods on multiple branches of the production line, and has transferred subjective evaluations into parametr...

In the paper authors discuss the quality estimation of assembly line balancing problem. Task are assigned to workstations and the calculated measures show the quality of the final results. Because even optimal solutions contain idle times, the estimation of quality of end results is very important. In the literature we can find different measures but the most useful are: line efficiency, smooth...

karim as a new line (hamam-4: t.aest/sprw's'//ca8055/3/bacanora86 icw92-0477-1ap-1ap-4ap-1ap-0ap) was evaluated at gachsaran agricultural research station in 2004-2005. it was selected for its high grain yield (3975 kg ha-1) and included in advance yield trial in gachsaran, khoramabad, gonbad, moghan and ilam field stations in next growing season. average yield of this line and check ...

Software architecture design is a critical step of software development. Currently, there are various design methods available and each is focusing on certain perspective of architecture design. Especially, quality-based methods have received a lot of attentions and have been well developed for single system architecture design. However, the use of quality-based design methods is limited in sof...
