Camera Calibration with Active Targets

This code accompanies the paper Camera Calibration: Active versus Passive Targets by Christoph Schmalz, Frank Forster and Elli Angelopoulou, (Optical Engineering, November 2011)

Active targets can be digital displays or e-paper. They have several advantages. Digital displays are nearly ubiquitous, so dedicated calibration targets with a fixed checkerboard or dot array pattern become unnecessary. Handling is easy as most displays have a tilt/swivel base to set up different target poses. Also, the target does not have to be in focus to obtain excellent calibration results, which is especially useful for calibrating cameras with a large field of view, since the target can be moved closer to the lens. Most importantly, active targets enable a higher localization accuracy for the calibration marks than traditional passive targets. This translates into a higher accuracy in applications like for example 3D reconstruction tasks. 

See the paper and the included readme for further details.

CAVAREV: CArdiac VAsculature Reconstruction EValuation

The main goal of CAVAREV is to enable an easy and objective comparison of different dynamic reconstruction algorithms.

The area of application is the 3-D and 4-D reconstruction of contrasted cardiac vessels, e.g. the coronary arteries using C-arm CT (rotational angiography). Various methods exist in literature with lots of nice results. However, the results can vary significantly between phantom and real clinical data.

Therefore, we provide:

  • Open (i.e. public) and easy accessible projection data.
  • Anatomically and physiologically correct projection data based on patient data.
  • Two degrees of difficulty: (a) Strictly periodic cardiac motion and (b) an aperiodic combination of cardiac and breathing motion.
  • An online evaluation platform where 3-D reconstructions can be uploaded and the reconstruction quality is assessed objectively.

CUDA Super-Resolution

This is a C++ implementation of the framework proposed in our paper "GPU Accelerated Time-of-Flight Super-Resolution for Image-Guided Surgery".

Edge Sharpness Comparison

This MATLAB® tool supports comparison of edge sharpness in images, both interactively and in batch mode. Opens internal link in current windowMore...

Epipolar Consistency has been shown to be a powerful tool in calibration and motion correction for flat panel detector CT (FD-CT) and other X-ray based applications. The epipolar consistency conditions (ECC) apply to projection data directly and can be used to correct for 3D parameters without 3D reconstruction. The computation of an epipolar consistency metric is real-time capable for small sets of images and can be parallelized for large sets of images. This is an open-source implementation in Octave/MATLAB, which can easily be ported to your favorite software environment.

Embedded Classification Software Toolbox (ECST)

Embedded microcontrollers are employed in an increasing number of applications as a target for the implementation of classification systems. This is true, for example, for the fields of sports, automotive, and medical engineering. However, important challenges arise when implementing classification systems on embedded microcontrollers, which is mainly due to limited hardware resources.

With the Opens internal link in current windowEmbedded Classification Software Toolbox, we present a solution to the two main challenges, namely obtaining a classification system with low computational complexity and, at the same time, high classification accuracy. For the first challenge, we propose complexity measures on the mathematical operation and parameter level, because the abstraction level of the commonly used Landau notation is too high in the context of embedded system implementation. For the second challenge, we present a software toolbox that trains different classification systems, compares their classification accuracy, and finally analyzes the complexity of the trained system.

Instantaneous P- and T-Wave detection algorithms

Arrhythmia detection algorithms require the exact and instantaneous detection of fiducial points in the ECG signal. These fiducial points (QRS-complex, P- and T-waves) correspond to distinct cardiac contraction phases. 

We implemented in Matlab three algorithms: one is based on a line fitting approach, an expeditious version of a Wavelet-based ECG delineation algorithm, and a fast naive fiducial points detection algorithm.
