A moment-based three-dimensional edge operator.

This paper presents a three-dimensional edge operator aimed at the detection of anatomical structures in medical imaging. It uses the spatial moments of gray level surface, and operates in three dimensions with any window size. It allows us to estimate the location and the contrast surface, as well as the surface orientation. The computation of the discrete version is reported. Bias and errors due to the spatial sampling and noise are analyzed both at a theoretical and experimental level. The moment-based operator is compared with other well-known edge operators on simple shaped primitives for which the analytical solution is known. The 3D rendering of real data is then provided by merging the operator in a ray-tracing framework.

Wavelet analysis of EEG for three-dimensional mapping of epileptic events.

This paper is aimed at understanding epileptic patient disorders through the analysis of surface electroencephalograms (EEG). It deals with the detection of spikes or spike-waves based on a nonorthogonal wavelet transform. A multilevel structure is described that locates the temporal segments where abnormal events occur. These events are then visually interpreted by means of a 3D mapping technique. This 3D display makes use of a ray tracing scheme and combines both the functional (the EEG but also its wavelet representation) and the morphological data (acquired from computed tomography [CT] or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] devices). The results show that a significant reduction of the clinical workload is obtained while the most important episodes are better reviewed and analyzed.
