Subject: Request for references, etc.
I'm working on a radiation therapy planning project. The aim
is to produce a system which takes as input a physician's
prescription, history of previous treatment, other relevant medical
info and the output of a CT scan at the site of the tumor and produces
a proposed radiotherapy treatment plan. The CT output is in the form
of coordinate points of the vertices of polygons. Each structure of
interest (and some which aren't) are represented. The planner uses
Case-based techniques, retrieving similar cases from memory upon which
it bases it planning activities.
Contiguity relations between the objects in the body cross
section are of special significance. I need methods which will allow
the program to conclude such things as "the target cups the vertebra"
and "there is a corridor separating the target from the right lung (at
such and such an angle with width so many cm)" and the like. The area
of interest for me is in memory organization and plan repair. I don't
want to spend five years building the code to solve the graphics
analysis problems.
Can someone pass on to me any pointers in this area? Any off
the shelf methods? Most vision stuff I see is concerned with 3D
issues. I'm hoping the 2D problems are already solved.
Any responses are gratfully appreciated.

Subject: Real Color Image Processing
Organization: Univ. of Michigan College of Engineering, Ann Arbor, MI
I am looking for some information on real-color image acquisition
and processing capabilities on a Mac. If any one can give me more
information on the name of the company producing such a board, on
limitations and benefits of using real-color image processing on
a Mac over other machines (Apollo, PS/2 & PC-AT), on the necessary
configuration on the Mac for using such a board, or any such info,
it will be of big help. I would greatly appreciate any information
and help in this regard.

[ By "real-color," I assume Pawan means 24-bit color? The Macintosh Buyer's
Guide lists hardware and software products for the Mac. I know that Data
Translation (508-481-3700) and TrueVision (800-858-8783) make decent
video acqusition boards. MacDSP by Spectral Innovations (408-734-1314)
make a low-cost NuBus card with a DSP card and a host of routines for
image processing. Higher end of the market would be NuVision by
Perceptics (615-966-9200). You may want to take a look at the paper
"Mac-II Based IU Environment Development" in the 1989 DARPA IUW
proceedings.

This is an archival peer-reviewed journal.Its aim is to combine reports on the
state-of-the-art of visual communication and image representation with emphasis
on novel ideas and theoretical work in this multidisciplinary area of pure and
pure and applied research. The journal consists of regular papers and research
reports describing original research results. The field of visual communication
and image representation is considered in its broadest sense and covers all
aspects of processing and communication in biological visual systems.
Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to, all aspects of:
Image scanning, sampling and tessellation; Image representation by partial
information; Local and global schemes of image representation; Visual data
reduction and coding; Early processing in biological visual systems; Image
understanding and psychophysical analysis of visual perception.
