Confocal and two-photon fluorescence microscopy have advanced the exploration of complex, three-dimensional biological structures at submicron resolution. We developed a voxel-based (3-D) imaging program (Voxx) capable near real-time rendering that runs on inexpensive personal computers. This low-cost interactive 3-D system provides powerful tool for analyzing complex in cells tissues encourages more thorough image data.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia that causes progressive impairment memory and other cognitive functions.Multivariate regression models have been studied in AD for revealing relationships between neuroimaging measures scores to understand how structural changes brain can influence status.Existing methods, however, do not explicitly model dependence relation among multiple derived from a single test.It has found such deteriorate performance these methods.To...
Predicting cognitive performance of subjects from their magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures and identifying relevant biomarkers are important research topics in the study Alzheimer's disease. Traditionally, this task is performed by formulating a linear regression problem. Recently, it found that using sparse model can achieve better prediction accuracy. However, most existing studies only focus on exploitation sparsity coefficients, ignoring useful structure information coefficients....

Machine learning algorithms and traditional data mining process usually require a large volume of to train the algorithm-specific models, with little or no user feedback during model building process. Such "big data" based automatic strategy is sometimes unrealistic for applications where collection processing very expensive difficult, such as in clinical trials. Furthermore, expert knowledge can be valuable some fields biomedical sciences. In this paper, we propose new visual analytics...
Rendering deformable volume data currently needs separate processes for deformation and rendering, is expensive in terms of both computational memory costs. Recognizing the importance unifying these processes, we present a new approach to direct rendering volumes without explicitly constructing intermediate deformed volumes. The done by radial basis function that piecewise linearly approximated an adaptive subdivision octree encoded target volume. blocks are then projected, reverse morphed...
Volume morphing is a technique used for generating smooth 3D image transformations and deformations. In this paper, several algorithms are developed that create new forms simulate shape deformation growth in biomedical applications. Three-dimensional biological point landmarks their movements defined to guide the transformation using scattered data interpolation algorithm. Two types of algorithms, Shepard-based radial basis function approach, investigated detail applied volume predictions...

It makes use existing graphics hardware on standard workstations, such as polygon-based geometry engine and frame buffer operations, is able generate voxel-based volume representations general curves, surfaces, or solid objects efficiently. On workstation with hardwaresupported texture mapping, result may also be written directly three-dimensional memory object, interactively rendered by...
CSG modeling using volumetric techniques is a new and promising approach. Due to the need for large volume data processing, however, it difficult perform interactive without special hardware systems. In this paper, we present fast technique standard graphics hardware. The algorithm builds pipeline by slice sweeping, significant improvement over our earlier work on model voxelization. To achieve modeling, makes use of OpenGL features apply acceleration object slicing other operations. Two...
