Abstract: A method for automatically segmenting a volume-of-interest representative of a subject's breast from a three-dimensional magnetic resonance image is provided. The three-dimensional image may include a plurality of spatially contiguous two-dimensional images. The image is converted to a monogenic signal, which is analyzed to determine locations in the image that correspond to maximal phase congruency in the monogenic signal. The orientation of each of these locations is determined and used along with the locations to estimate a boundary surface of the volume-of-interest. The estimated surface may be used to segment the image directly, or to generate a surface model, such as a statistical shape model, that is used to segment the image. This provided method is robust to segmenting the subject's breast, even at the chest-wall boundary in images with lower contrast-to-noise ratio between breast tissue and tissues in and around the chest wall.

Abstract: The threat of piracy is growing rapidly, and the potential for escalation of this into full-blown global terrorism is only beginning to be understood. Piracy is causing a major disruption in trade and maritime transit, and is a direct threat to life and property in several parts of the world. It is generally understood that conventional firearms are not recommended for ships to defend themselves, and though this may change over time, they carry their own risks. Additionally, trained, full-time staff to carry those arms for the purpose of repelling boarders, is a long-term expense that also depends on relatively close engagement with pirates, who are becoming increasingly emboldened and experienced in their attacks. The use of non-lethal weapons has been proven effective in counter-piracy, specifically the use of sonic/acoustic devices (the LRAD - Long Range Acoustic Device - was used in November, 2005 by a cruise ship, the Seabourn Spirit to great effect in allowing the ship's escape from attack). However, this type of device is relatively short ranged in terms of maritime applications (350 meters truly effective). The present disclosure concerns long range non-lethal dazzling lasers. One proposed uses of long range non-lethal dazzling lasers is to deter piracy.
