Reduction of satellite radiance data to temperature profiles involves both difficult mathematical inversion analysis as well as complicated data processing. recently, the application of the optical measure theory represents a novel approach which provide a solution free from the need of… More

Vision and natural language processing is based on inductive inference, which is realizable by large scale neural networks. constructing fully parallel, large scale, neural networks is frustrated by the problems of providing for massive inter-connectivityand for overcoming fan in/out limitations in… More

The use of digital imaging has been applied throughout various radiology services since ct was developed. both economics and efficiency of data storage and transmission have been demanded by the medical imaging community. a new decomposition method using an image splitting and gray value remapping… More

A hardware-based bybrid lung nodule detection system will be developed for improving diagnostic accuracy and speed for lung cancerous pulmonary radiology. the configuration of the system includes the following processing phases: (1) data acquisition and pre-processing, in order to reduce and to… More

A "Hybrid Ship Track Detection System" is proposed for fast, accurate, and automatically processing multi-channel satellite cloud imagery, focusing on 3.7 and 0.63 micron to detect ship tracks. The configuration of the "Hybrid Ship Track Detection System" includes the following processing phases:… More

DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): A computer aided diagnosis (CAD) method is proposed to assist radiologists in detecting pulmonary cancer in thoracic computed tomography (CT). Specifically, Phase I's aim is to assist radiologists (1) to compare current and previous thoracic… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In the US alone, it is estimated that lung cancer caused a total of 161,900 deaths in 2000. The 5-year survival rate in the US is 13% when all stages are considered. Substantial evidence suggests that early detection of lung cancer may reduce mortality for… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Phase I Effective registration functions of temporal digital images for many radiographic applications have been long over due. In the first phase of this project, we propose to develop key segmentation methods for automatic delineation of anatomic structures in… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Caelum Research Corporation proposes to develop a computer-aided detection (CAD) system for detecting minimal tuberculosis (TB) on chest radiographs. Among infectious diseases, TB is the leading killer of adults in the world today and has infected one third of… More

The U.S. military has been using satellite IR images to monitor ground missile activities of hostile nations. Successful IR monitoring of ground features requires us to account for the intervening weather conditions that can have an adverse impact on intelligence gathering. The proposed… More
