AI Article Synopsis

  • This study explores how to adapt active appearance models (AAM) to color images, specifically improving on the limitations of previous methods that used RGB color models.
  • The research finds that normalizing color texture vectors separately for intensity and chromaticity can enhance convergence accuracy and image synthesis quality.
  • The optimal performance is reached using the I1I2I3 color space, which helps in reducing correlation between image channels for better results.

Article Abstract

The extension of the standard grayscale active appearance model (AAM) techniques to color images is investigated. Prior work in this field has mainly focused on RGB color models which did not demonstrate noticeable benefits over grayscale models from the point of view of convergence accuracy. We improve on previous work by normalizing the color texture vector separately for intensity and chromaticity components. Where an appropriate color space is chosen, we demonstrate improvements in convergence accuracy as well as image synthesization quality for AAMs. Optimal results are achieved when a color space in which the image channels are strongly decorrelated is chosen. Our best results are achieved using the I1I2I3 color space, originally proposed by Ohta.

Developing robust and secure image encryption methods for transmitting multiple images in batches over unprotected networks has become imperative. This necessity arises from the limitations of single-image encryption techniques in managing the escalating volume of extensive data. This paper introduces a novel three-layer multiple-image encryption (MIE) technique to encrypt batch images based on three 2D-chaotic maps.

Diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular space: the bias from crossing fibres.

Brain Commun

November 2024

Department of Clinical Sciences, Diagnostic Radiology, Medical Faculty, Lund University, 221 85 Lund, Sweden.

Non-invasive evaluation of glymphatic function has emerged as a crucial goal in neuroimaging, and diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) has emerged as a candidate method for this purpose. Reduced ALPS index has been suggested to indicate impaired glymphatic function. However, the potential impact of crossing fibres on the ALPS index has not been assessed, which was the aim of this cross-sectional study.
