Molecular Shapes01:18

Molecular Shapes

53.5K
Molecules have characteristic shapes that are crucial for their function. The arrangement of various electron groups around the central atom dictates their molecular geometry. Electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom will adopt an arrangement that minimizes repulsions between the electron pairs by maximizing the distance between them. The valence electrons form either bonding pairs, located primarily between bonded atoms, or lone pairs.

Plastic Deformations of Members with a Single Plane of Symmetry01:21

Plastic Deformations of Members with a Single Plane of Symmetry

498
When a structural member undergoes plastic deformation due to bending, it is crucial to understand the position of the neutral axis and the stress distribution. This member, characterized by a single plane of symmetry, exhibits a uniform stress distribution, with negative stress above the neutral axis and positive stress below. Notably, the neutral axis does not align with the centroid of the cross-section. This misalignment is typical in cases where the cross-section is not rectangular or...

Shape and Texture of Coarse Aggregate01:25

Shape and Texture of Coarse Aggregate

1.3K
Aggregate shape is classified based on the relative sharpness or roundness of the edges and corners. This classification includes categories like rounded, angular, elongated, and flaky, each with specific characteristics. Rounded aggregates, fully shaped by attrition, are typical of river or seashore gravel, while angular aggregates, such as crushed rock, have well-defined edges. Aggregates that are elongated and flaky are less desirable, as they can reduce the workability and strength of...

Modeling and Similitude01:12

Modeling and Similitude

859
Scaled modeling is a fundamental technique in engineering, enabling the study of large and complex systems by creating smaller, manageable replicas that recreate critical characteristics of the original. In hydrology and civil infrastructure, for example, scaled models of dams help analyze water flow, turbulence, and pressure. This method allows for accurate predictions of real-world behavior within a controlled environment, significantly reducing the cost and time involved in full-scale...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Image Analysis
  • Computer Vision
  • Computational Anatomy

Background:

  • Active Shape Models (ASM) are standard for anatomic structure recognition and delineation in medical imaging.
  • ASM methods face limitations including lower accuracy, high landmark requirements, sensitivity to search range and initialization, and underutilization of image-specific information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Oriented Active Shape Models (OASM) to address the limitations of ASM in medical image segmentation.
  • To enhance delineation accuracy, reduce landmark dependency, and improve robustness to initialization and search range.

Main Methods:

  • OASM integrates ASM's statistical shape information with the boundary-oriented properties and global optimization of the live wire segmentation technique.
  • A two-level dynamic programming approach is employed for boundary recognition and delineation.
  • An automatic initialization method is developed for OASM.

Main Results:

  • OASM demonstrated considerably improved segmentation accuracy compared to ASM across various medical imaging modalities (MRI, CT) and anatomical regions (breast, liver, foot, spine).
  • The number of required landmarks was reduced by a factor of three with OASM compared to ASM.
  • OASM exhibited independence from search range and featured automatic initialization.

Conclusions:

  • OASM offers superior performance in medical image segmentation over traditional ASM.
  • The integration of boundary-oriented properties and dynamic programming significantly enhances segmentation accuracy and efficiency.
  • OASM provides a more robust and user-friendly approach to automated medical image segmentation.
