Abstract The omnidirectional M-mode echocardiogram provides a new method for human heart functional analyses. In this article, to sharpen object edges, we designed image processing kernel based on Fractional differential for image enhancement. After that, the contour of the left ventricle in a short axis is first extracted using both an improved Canny edge detection algorithm and the gray level searching algorithm in the radial direction as auxiliary. The modified Canny edge detection algorithm with the matching method between adjacent frames then is adopted for the subsequent frames to extract the left ventricular contours. The non-functional movements in the B-ultrasonic plane are determined by using the movement extracting method based on Fourier descriptors and the mass center with the inertia axis method, and the movements are removed from a compound motion. The Fourier descriptors are applied to get a series of image contour curves with the principal translation and rotation. Hence the curve of the cardiac motion can accurately show functional movements in any location of the heart. Using our technique, we can reduce multi-lines and excursion, as well as correct the omnidirectional M-mode echocardiography.

Threshold based pupil detection algorithm was found tobe most efficient method to detect human eye. An implementation of a real-time system on an FPGA board to detect and track a human's eye is the main motive to obtain from proposed work. The Pupil detection algorithm involved thresholding and image filtering. The Pupil location was identified by computing the center value of the detected region. The proposed hardware architecture is designed using Verilog HDL and implemented on aAltera DE2 cyclone II FPGA for prototyping and logic utilizations are compared with Existing work. The overall setup included Cyclone II FPGA, a E2V camera, SDRAM and a VGA monitor. Experimental results proved the accuracy and effectiveness of the hardware realtime implementation as the algorithm was able to manage various types of input video frame. All calculation was performed in real time. Although the system can be furthered improved to obtain better results, overall the project was a success as it enabled any inputted eye to be accurately detected and tracked.

Whereas early studies of microsaccades have predominantly relied on custom-built eye trackers and manual tagging of microsaccades, more recent work tends to use video-based eye tracking and automated algorithms for microsaccade detection. While data from these newer studies suggest that microsaccades can be reliably detected with video-based systems, this has not been systematically evaluated. I here present a method and data examining microsaccade detection in an often used video-based system (the Eyelink II system) and a commonly used detection algorithm (Engbert & Kliegl, 2003; Engbert & Mergenthaler, 2006). Recordings from human participants and those obtained using a pair of dummy eyes, mounted on a pair of glasses either worn by a human participant (i.e., with head motion) or a dummy head (no head motion) were compared. Three experiments were conducted. The first experiment suggests that when microsaccade measurements make use of the pupil detection mode, microsaccade detections in the absence of eye movements are sparse in the absence of head movements, but frequent with head movements (despite the use of a chin rest). A second experiment demonstrates that by using measurements that rely on a combination of corneal reflection and pupil detection, false microsaccade detections can be largely avoided as long as a binocular criterion is used. A third experiment examines whether past results may have been affected by possible incorrect detections due to small head movements. It shows that despite the many detections due to head movements, the typical modulation of microsaccade rate after stimulus onset is found only when recording from the participants’ eyes.
