On-line OCR with improved shape descriptors supports graphical or textual annotation. Medical Imaging and Visualization Automated extraction and measurement for diagnosis. Automated segmentation and rendering of three-dimensional medical anatomy. Morphometric tools for interactive measurement and interrogation of 3-D geometry.
Segmentation allows image objects to be extracted using simple gesture motions with a mouse.
Image composition makes use of automated frequency matching and filtering, equivalencing of density or color range, and antialiasing. Color segmentation and quantization for object recognition, searching of large image data bases, reduced bandwidth, and navigation of a mobile robot. Globally optimal region growing through use of a connected component engine and a modified octree data structure. Rendering of 3-D anatomy simultaneously and interactively during image segmentation to allow and to accommodate user intervention and interaction. Segmented speech, video, user-owned cursors for interactive dialogues with a visual conversation piece or a mobile robot and its remotely imaged environment.
