extended abstract 1. introduction today, improving and increasing the inhabitant environment quality is the main purpose of the civil planner policies. in this study, the improper location of the physical elements and the urban land uses, the inefficient street network, the compact urban fabric, the high urban density, the improper condition of infrastructures, and the lack of civil open spaces...

This paper reports a closed-form solution for reconstructing a scene up to an affine transformation from a single image in the presence of a symmetry plane. Unlike scene reconstruction in stereo vision, the affine reconstruction process discussed in this paper does not require any knowledge about camera parameters or camera orientation relative to the scene, so camera self-calibration is totall...

There is controversy in the literature regarding a number of topics related to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)reconstruction. The purpose of this article is to answer the following questions: 1) Bone patellar tendon bone (BPTB) reconstruction or hamstring reconstruction (HR); 2) Double bundle or single bundle; 3) Allograft or authograft; 4) Early or late reconstruction; 5) Rate of return to sp...

introduction: motion of the patient during myocardial perfusion spect could potentially results in false perfusion defects. the effect of different reconstruction methods on these artifacts is not studied. clarification of the relation between the extent, severity and duration of motion with the resultant artifacts may be helpful in designing special soft wares for motion correction. this study...

This paper presents a knowledge-based approach for automatic 3D building reconstruction. By combining the aerial image analysis with information from GIS maps and specific knowledge of the buildings the complexity of the building reconstruction process can be greatly reduced. The building reconstruction process is described as a tree search in the space of possible building hypotheses. To guide...

At Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe the demonstrator of a new medical imaging system based on 3D ultrasound computer tomography will be available at the beginning of 2005. This system requires not only the recording but also the processing of very large datasets of about 3.5GBytes. On a single PC the reconstruction of a high resolution volume will take up to several weeks. However the reconstruction...

The rapid and accurate computation of the Jacobian matrix, which is usually computationally intensive, is of critical importance for the reconstruction problem of fluorescent molecular tomography (FMT). An extension of the Green's function method for the Jacobian matrix computation suitable for two coupled differential equations is proposed, in combination with the parallel forward computing st...
