Pre-procés i segmentació en imatges d’ultrasons 2D i 3D de la pròstata

Aquest projecte s'ha dut a terme amb el Grup de visió per computador del departament d'Arquitectura i Tecnologia de Computadors (ATC) de la Universitat de Girona. Està enfocat a l'anàlisi d'imatges mèdiques, en concret s'analitzaran imatges de pròstata en relació a desenvolupaments que s'estan realitzant en el grup de visió esmentat. Els objectius fixats per aquest projecte són desenvolupar dos mòduls de processamentm d'imatges els quals afrontaran dos blocs important en el tractament d'imatges, aquests dos mòduls seran un pre-processat d'imatges, que constarà de tres filtres i un bloc de segmentació per tal de cercar la pròstata dintre de les imatges a tractar. En el projecte es treballarà amb el llenguatge de programació C++, concretament amb unes llibreries que es denominen ITK (Insight Toolkit ) i són open source enfocades al tractament d'imatges mèdiques. A part d'aquesta eina s'utilitzaran d'altres com les Qt que és una biblioteca d'eines per crear entorns gràfics

Visual SLAM for 3D large-scale seabed acquisition employing underwater vehicles

This paper presents a novel technique to align partial 3D reconstructions of the seabed acquired by a stereo camera mounted on an autonomous underwater vehicle. Vehicle localization and seabed mapping is performed simultaneously by means of an Extended Kalman Filter. Passive landmarks are detected on the images and characterized considering 2D and 3D features. Landmarks are re-observed while the robot is navigating and data association becomes easier but robust. Once the survey is completed, vehicle trajectory is smoothed by a Rauch-Tung-Striebel filter obtaining an even better alignment of the 3D views and yet a large-scale acquisition of the seabed

Integración de los estándares OGC en los clientes 2D y 3D de visualización de mapas

A través de la propuesta Styled Layer Descriptor 3D (SLD3D), cuya especificación se encuentra en el Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), se posibilitará la generación de información tridimensional. La interpretación de estos estilos a través del Keyhole Markup Language (KML) y su representación en los interfaces 3D, garantizarán el aprovechamiento de la tercera componente espacial permitiendo una representación realista del entorno

CODAPACK3D. A new version of Compositional Data Package

The statistical analysis of compositional data should be treated using logratios of parts, which are difficult to use correctly in standard statistical packages. For this reason a freeware package, named CoDaPack was created. This software implements most of the basic statistical methods suitable for compositional data. In this paper we describe the new version of the package that now is called CoDaPack3D. It is developed in Visual Basic for applications (associated with Excel©), Visual Basic and Open GL, and it is oriented towards users with a minimum knowledge of computers with the aim at being simple and easy to use. This new version includes new graphical output in 2D and 3D. These outputs could be zoomed and, in 3D, rotated. Also a customization menu is included and outputs could be saved in jpeg format. Also this new version includes an interactive help and all dialog windows have been improved in order to facilitate its use. To use CoDaPack one has to access Excel© and introduce the data in a standard spreadsheet. These should be organized as a matrix where Excel© rows correspond to the observations and columns to the parts. The user executes macros that return numerical or graphical results. There are two kinds of numerical results: new variables and descriptive statistics, and both appear on the same sheet. Graphical output appears in independent windows. In the present version there are 8 menus, with a total of 38 submenus which, after some dialogue, directly call the corresponding macro. The dialogues ask the user to input variables and further parameters needed, as well as where to put these results. The web site http://ima.udg.es/CoDaPack contains this freeware package and only Microsoft Excel© under Microsoft Windows© is required to run the software.
