We propose a region growing vessel segmentation algorithm based on spectrum information. First, the algorithm does Fourier transform on the region of interest containing vascular structures to obtain its spectrum information, according to which its primary feature direction will be extracted. Then combined edge information with primary feature direction computes the vascular structure’s center points as the seed points of region growing segmentation. At last, the improved region growing method with branch-based growth strategy is used to segment the vessels. To prove the effectiveness of our algorithm, we use the retinal and abdomen liver vascular CT images to do experiments. The results show that the proposed vessel segmentation algorithm can not only extract the high quality target vessel region, but also can effectively reduce the manual intervention.

With the gradual improvement of China’s railway net, the opening of international railways as well as the continuous growth of railway operating mileage, the workload of remeasuring railways is increasing. The traditional methods of remeasuring railways can not meet current high-speed and high-density operating conditions anymore in terms of safety, efficiency and quality, so a safer and more efficient measurement method is urgently needed.This thesis integrated various sensors on a self-mobile instrument, such as 3D laser scanner, digital image sensor and GNSS_IMU, designing a set of intelligent and integrated self-mobile scanning measurement system. This thesis proposed region growing segmentation based on the reflection intensity of point cloud. Through the secondary development of CAD, the menu for automatic processing of self-mobile scanning measurement system is designed to realize rail automatic segmentation, extraction of rail top points, fitting of plane parameters of railway line, calculation of curve elements and mileage management.The results show that self-mobile scanning measurement system overcomes the shortcomings of traditional railway measurement to some extent, and realizes intelligent measurement of railways.
