Abstract: Intensity standardization of MRI data sets aims at correcting scanner- dependent intensity variations. An automatic technique, called STI, which shares the simplicity and robustness of histogram-matching techniques, but also incorporates tissue spatial intensity information, has been discovered. The method comprises registering a medical image to a standard image; applying one or more masks to the medical and standard images for isolating certain specific image components; determining the most common intensity data pair between the medical and standard images for each isolated image component; calculating a formula that joins the most common intensity data pair of each image component; and interpolating an intensity data adjustment using the formula and applying it to the medical image data to generate a standardized version of the medical image.

Title: Scalable compressed audio bit stream and codec using a hierarchical filterbank and multichannel joint coding
Inventor: SHMUNK DMITRY V
IPC: G10L19/008
Filed: 2006-06-16
Abstract: A method for encoding an audio input signal to form a scaled bit stream (116) having a data rate less than or approximately equal to a desired data rate. A hierarchical filterbank 2100 decomposes the input signal into a multi-resolution time/frequency representation from which the encoder can efficiently extract both tonal 2106 and residual components 2117.  The components are ranked and then quantized with reference to the same masking function or different psychoacoustic criteria. The selected tonal components are suitably encoded using differential coding extended to multichannel audio. The time-sample and scale factor components that make up the residual components are encoded using joint channel coding (JCC) extended to multichannel audio.
