Our task is to develop 3D segmentation and visualization techniques. Please see the project homepage for further details like simulations, results, and papers. This symbolic representation will be used to construct brightness maps which will show the known brightness effects such as Mach bands, induction and assimilation. The application of the model components in image denoising and coding, but applying wavelets and Hermite polynomials. This project is a pilot study concerning the automisation of diatom identification on the basis of images.
Diatoms are unicellular algae and the frustules have a very regular ornamentation and shape.
Other tasks in the project are autofocusing and estabishing a huge database with images. This project concerns the development of tools for parallel computing, numerical algorithms, and computer vision. For publications on texture and visual perception, look at the dubuf homepage. This project concerns the development of tools for semi-automatic program parallelization. An important aspect is to estimate the speedup and to optimize the number of processors used.
