Development of the computer aided animation system was begun in the winter of 1910. The system was designed to produce visual aid materials tor Engineering Graphics, such as orthographic and perspective projection, dihedral angles, piercing-points, etc. It was thus required that a user be able to input objects precisely and to manipulate them with translations, rotations, foldouts etc. in 3-D s...

The design of embedded computing systems, such as video-enabled mobile phones and reliable medical devices, faces a serious productivity gap due to the increasing complexity of their hardware and software, as well as hard design constraints, including strict timing, multi-core functionality, low power and price, and short time-to-market. One solution to address this problem is the modeling at h...

Volumetric analysis of structural MR images of the brain may provide quantitative evidence of neurodegeneration and help identify patients at risk for rapid clinical deterioration. This note describes tests of a fully automated MR imaging postprocessing system for volumetric analysis of structures (such as the hippocampus) known to be affected in early Alzheimer disease (AD). The system yielded...

Background: With advances in medical imaging systems, digital dermoscopy has become one of the major imaging modalities in the analysis of skin lesions. Thus, automated segmentation or border detection has a great impact on the subsequent steps of skin cancer computer-aided diagnosis using demoscopy images. Since dermoscopy images suffer from artifacts such as shading and hair, there is a need ...

Molecular modeling is a set of computational techniques for construction of 3D structure of a protein especially membrane bound proteins whose structures can not be elucidated using experimental techniques. These techniques has been applied in the study of membrane metalloproteases for comparing wild and mutated enzymes, docking inhibitors in the catalytic site and examination of binding pocket...

In this chapter, an overview of recent developments in image analysis and understanding techniques for automated detection of breast cancer from digital mammograms is presented. The various steps in the design of an automated system (i.e. Computer Aided Detection [CADe] and Computer Aided Diagnostics (CADx)] include preparation of image database for classification, image pre-processing, mammogr...

OBJECTIVES Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common rheumatic disease with arthritis, and causes substantial functional disability in approximately 50% patients after 10 years. Accurate measurement of the disease activity is crucial to provide an adequate treatment and care to the patients. The aim of this study is focused on a computer aided diagnostic system that supports an assessment of syno...
