Inventor: VON BERG JENS
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2004-02-09
Abstract: Quantification of metric or functional parameters often requires image segmentation. A crucial part of such method is the model of the surface characteristics of the object of interest (features), which drives the deformable surface towards the object boundary in the image. According to the present invention, sections of the mesh are assigned to different classes for different features. According to the present invention, the assignment of mesh sections to the classes is adapted by using actual feature information from the unseen image. Advantageously, this allows for an adaptation of the feature category to which the mesh section is assigned and thereby allows an improved segmentation of the object.

Abstract: Power consumed by a power-variable amplifying unit
for amplifying and supplying data to an antenna in a
mobile telephone carrying out data transmission by
changing transmission power in accordance with a TPC bit
transmitted from a base transceiver station is reduced. 
     The power-variable amplifying unit is constituted
with a variable gain amplifier (21) in which a gain is
variably controlled with a control voltage corresponding
to the above-described TPC bit, a driver amplifier (22)
with a fixed gain, and a power amplifier (23) with a
fixed gain. Then, a variable resistance 25 for bypassing
a current flowing through a transistor (26) of the driver
amplifier (22) is provided, and a resistance value of
this variable resistance (25) is variably controlled with
the control voltage corresponding to the above-described
TPC bit. Accordingly, a current quantity of the current
flowing through the transistor 26 can be controlled to be
a current quantity according to the control voltage
(=transmission power). Consequently, reduction in power
consumption by the driver amplifier (22) results in
reduction in the power consumed by the aforementioned
power-variable amplifying unit.
