Precise characterization and analysis of corneal nerve fiber tortuosity are of great importance in facilitating examination and diagnosis of many eye-related diseases. In this paper we propose a fully automated method for ...

This study has developed a novel saliency detection method based on compactness feature for detecting three common types of leakage in retinal fluorescein angiogram: large focal, punctate focal, and vessel segment leakage. ...

A number of Cellular Automata (CA)-based edge detectors have been developed recently due to the simplicity of the model and the potential for simultaneous removal of different types of noise in the process of detection. ...

Since age is the most significant risk factor for the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), it is important to understand the effect of normal ageing on brain network characteristics before we can accurately diagnose ...

With the rapid increase of the integration and complexity of industrial components, the inaccessibility and inapplicability of existing Non-destructive testing devices have become a bottleneck for in-situ inspection of ...

This article gives an overview of range‐imaging techniques with an aim to let the reader better understand how the difficult issue, such as the registration of overlapping range images, can be approached and solved. It ...

The estimation of vascular network topology in complex networks is important in understanding the relationship between vascular changes and a wide spectrum of diseases. Automatic classification of the retinal vascular trees ...

Automated detection of retinal blood vessels plays an important role in advancing the understanding of the mechanism, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease and many systemic diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy ...

The reconstruction and analysis of tree-like topological structures in the biomedical images is crucial for biologists and surgeons to understand biomedical conditions and plan surgical procedures. The underlying tree-structure ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) provides dramatic tremor relief in patients with severe essential tremor (ET). Typically, the VIM nucleus is the most effective brain area to target for high-frequency electrical stimulation ...
