These problems become particularly relevant for low-resolution, low-contrast 3D images. The proposed method, developed and optimized for brain PET imaging, is a general tool for automatic characterization, classification and sorting of any type of image. Such a method is applicable to any homogeneous dataset representing a population of objects described by an n-dimensional scalar matrix. ELBA, the efficient algorithm behind the method, is able to extract the relevant properties from the image by calculating features based on isosurfaces and offers a valid alternative to intensity-based methods.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #20415c;\">Applications<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Evaluation of amyloid PET in clinical trials;<\/li>\n<li>Recognition of supernovae (astronomical images);<\/li>\n<li>Object recognition;<\/li>\n<li>Characterization and classification of images (also in time series);<\/li>\n<li>Data mining;<\/li>\n<li>Night vision improvement;<\/li>\n<li>Mole classification and monitoring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #20415c;\">Advantages<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It provides stable features, extractable from any n-D matrix;<\/li>\n<li>Innovative computer vision approach;<\/li>\n<li>It provides information complementary to that provided by standard methods;<\/li>\n<li>It avoids image normalization;<\/li>\n<li>Extremely flexible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1702567488600{margin-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #042a48 !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;.column_details_portfolio&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">ADDITIONAL DETAILS<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #8bc9e0;\"><strong>PATENT OWNERS<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p style=\"color: #fff; font-weight: bold;\">INFN<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;21px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #8bc9e0;\"><strong>PRIORITY NUMBER<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">IT 102014902284616<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;21px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #8bc9e0;\"><strong>TECHNOLOGY SECTOR <\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Diagnostic imaging<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;21px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #8bc9e0;\"><strong>RELATED PROJECTS<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/web.infn.it\/TechTransfer\/?portfolio_page=dorian\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff; text-decoration: underline;\">Dorian<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;21px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #8bc9e0;\"><strong>TT CODE<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">P_14.002<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;riga_spazio_progetti&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #8bc9e0;\"><strong>CONTACT US<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">For more information about this technology, <\/span><a href=\"mailto:tto@lists.infn.it\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff; text-decoration: underline;\">WRITE TO US<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;51px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_raw_html]W3dwc2VvX2JyZWFkY3J1bWJd[\/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] Automatic method for classifying 3D images [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Method for extracting information from three-dimensional images, by identifying general properties regardless of orientation.
