Abstract:
Multiscale analysis is often required in image processing applications because image features are optimally detected at different levels of resolution. With the advance of high-resolution 3D imaging, the extension of multiscale analysis to higher dimensions is necessary. This paper extends an existing 2D scale selection method, known as the minimum reliable scale, to 3D volumetric images. The method is applied to 3D boundary detection and is illustrated in examples from biomedical imaging. The experimental results show that the 3D scale selection improves the detection of edges over single scale operators using as few as three different scales.

Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation
The hypothesis testing for the claim of population standard deviation (or variance) requires the data and samples to be random and unbiased. The population distribution also must be normal. There is no specific requirement on the sample size as the estimation is based on the chi-square distribution.
As a first step, the hypothesis (null and alternative) concerning the claim about...
