Fast and Precise 3D Fluorophore Localization based on Gradient Fitting.

ABSTRACT: Astigmatism imaging approach has been widely used to encode the fluorophore's 3D position in single-particle tracking and super-resolution localization microscopy. Here, we present a new high-speed localization algorithm based on gradient fitting to precisely decode the 3D subpixel position of the fluorophore. This algebraic algorithm determines the center of the fluorescent emitter by finding the position with the best-fit gradient direction distribution to the measured point spread function (PSF), and can retrieve the 3D subpixel position of the fluorophore in a single iteration. Through numerical simulation and experiments with mammalian cells, we demonstrate that our algorithm yields comparable localization precision to the traditional iterative Gaussian function fitting (GF) based method, while exhibits over two orders-of-magnitude faster execution speed. Our algorithm is a promising high-speed analyzing method for 3D particle tracking and super-resolution localization microscopy.

Multifocal imaging for precise, label-free tracking of fast biological processes in 3D.

Project description:Many biological processes happen on a nano- to millimeter scale and within milliseconds. Established methods such as confocal microscopy are suitable for precise 3D recordings but lack the temporal or spatial resolution to resolve fast 3D processes and require labeled samples. Multifocal imaging (MFI) allows high-speed 3D imaging but is limited by the compromise between high spatial resolution and large field-of-view (FOV), and the requirement for bright fluorescent labels. Here, we provide an open-source 3D reconstruction algorithm for multi-focal images that allows using MFI for fast, precise, label-free tracking spherical and filamentous structures in a large FOV and across a high depth. We characterize fluid flow and flagellar beating of human and sea urchin sperm with a z-precision of 0.15 µm, in a volume of 240 × 260 × 21 µm, and at high speed (500 Hz). The sampling volume allowed to follow sperm trajectories while simultaneously recording their flagellar beat. Our MFI concept is cost-effective, can be easily implemented, and does not rely on object labeling, which renders it broadly applicable.

Fast Fourier-based simulation of off-resonance artifacts in steady-state gradient echo MRI applied to metal object localization.

Project description:PurposeTo accelerate simulation of off-resonance artifacts in steady-state gradient echo MRI by using fast Fourier transforms and demonstrate its applicability to metal object localization.Theory and methodsBy exploiting the repetitive nature of steady-state pulse sequences it is possible to use fast Fourier transforms to calculate the MR signal. Based on this principle, a method for fast simulation of off-resonance artifacts was designed. The method was validated against Bloch simulations and MRI scans. Its clinical relevance was demonstrated by employing it for template matching-based metal object localization, as applied to a titanium cylinder, an oxidized zirconium knee implant, and gold fiducials.ResultsThe fast simulations were accurate compared with actual MRI scans of the objects. The differences between the fast simulations and Bloch simulations were minor, while the acceleration scaled linearly with the number of phase-encoding lines. The object localization method accurately localized the various metal objects.ConclusionThe proposed simulation methodology provided accurate 3D simulations of off-resonance artifacts with a lower computational complexity than Bloch simulations. The speed of the simulations opens up possibilities in image reconstructions involving off-resonance phenomena that were previously infeasible due to computational limitations, as demonstrated for metal object localization.

Fitting magnetic field gradient with Heisenberg-scaling accuracy.

Project description:The linear function is possibly the simplest and the most used relation appearing in various areas of our world. A linear relation can be generally determined by the least square linear fitting (LSLF) method using several measured quantities depending on variables. This happens for such as detecting the gradient of a magnetic field. Here, we propose a quantum fitting scheme to estimate the magnetic field gradient with N-atom spins preparing in W state. Our scheme combines the quantum multi-parameter estimation and the least square linear fitting method to achieve the quantum Cramér-Rao bound (QCRB). We show that the estimated quantity achieves the Heisenberg-scaling accuracy. Our scheme of quantum metrology combined with data fitting provides a new method in fast high precision measurements.

Sound localization in web-based 3D environments.

Project description:Sound delivery is a key aspect of immersivity in virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), with studies hinting at a correlation between users' ability to locate sounds around them and the 'feeling of being there'. This is particularly true for WebVR, a method of delivering immersive experiences through a local web browser that has recently captured attention in multiple industries. In WebVR, audio is the main spatial cue. Designers need to select the correct number of sound sources so that users perceive the location of incoming sound correctly. Information on how users localize sound is essential. Sound localization experiments, so far, have been run only in empty spaces or closed rooms, without clear indications for designers in WebVR. Thus, in this study, we investigate sound localization directly through WebVR. To do so, we designed a traditional empty room for training and a city-like virtual environment for testing purposes. In our paper, we also discuss key design parameters, differences in perception for vertical and horizontal directions, the impact of training, and the role of changing virtual environments. In addition, we introduce and test a new sound cue along with the traditional pink noise sound to measure and explore the impact of different sound cues in different environments. The results demonstrate the potential of exploring sound localization using WebVR, and our study will support the development of virtual experiences in human-computer interaction that may be able to reach a large number of participants using a local web browser.

3D cell nuclei segmentation based on gradient flow tracking.

Project description:BackgroundReliable segmentation of cell nuclei from three dimensional (3D) microscopic images is an important task in many biological studies. We present a novel, fully automated method for the segmentation of cell nuclei from 3D microscopic images. It was designed specifically to segment nuclei in images where the nuclei are closely juxtaposed or touching each other. The segmentation approach has three stages: 1) a gradient diffusion procedure, 2) gradient flow tracking and grouping, and 3) local adaptive thresholding.ResultsBoth qualitative and quantitative results on synthesized and original 3D images are provided to demonstrate the performance and generality of the proposed method. Both the over-segmentation and under-segmentation percentages of the proposed method are around 5%. The volume overlap, compared to expert manual segmentation, is consistently over 90%.ConclusionThe proposed algorithm is able to segment closely juxtaposed or touching cell nuclei obtained from 3D microscopy imaging with reasonable accuracy.

Free-Resolution Probability Distributions Map-Based Precise Vehicle Localization in Urban Areas.

Project description:We propose a free-resolution probability distributions map (FRPDM) and an FRPDM-based precise vehicle localization method using 3D light detection and ranging (LIDAR). An FRPDM is generated by Gaussian mixture modeling, based on road markings and vertical structure point cloud. Unlike single resolution or multi-resolution probability distribution maps, in the case of the FRPDM, the resolution is not fixed and the object can be represented by various sizes of probability distributions. Thus, the shape of the object can be represented efficiently. Therefore, the map size is very small (61 KB/km) because the object is effectively represented by a small number of probability distributions. Based on the generated FRPDM, point-to-probability distribution scan matching and feature-point matching were performed to obtain the measurements, and the position and heading of the vehicle were derived using an extended Kalman filter-based navigation filter. The experimental area is the Gangnam area of Seoul, South Korea, which has many buildings around the road. The root mean square (RMS) position errors for the lateral and longitudinal directions were 0.057 m and 0.178 m, respectively, and the RMS heading error was 0.281°.

Algorithm for fast monoexponential fitting based on Auto-Regression on Linear Operations (ARLO) of data.

Project description:PURPOSE:To develop a fast and accurate monoexponential fitting algorithm based on Auto-Regression on Linear Operations (ARLO) of data, and to validate its accuracy and computational speed by comparing it with the conventional Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) and Log-Linear (LL) algorithms. METHODS:ARLO, LM, and LL performances for T2* mapping were evaluated in simulation and in vivo imaging of liver (n=15) and myocardial (n=1) iron overload patients and the brain (two healthy volunteers). RESULTS:In simulations, ARLO consistently delivered accuracy similar to LM and significantly superior to LL. In in vivo mapping of T2 * values, ARLO showed excellent agreement with LM, while LL showed only limited agreements with ARLO and LM. Compared with LM and LL in the liver, ARLO was 125 and 8 times faster using our Matlab implementations, and 156 and 13 times faster using our C++ implementations. In C++ implementations, ARLO reduced the online whole-brain processing time from 9 min 15 s of LM and 35 s of LL to 2.7 s, providing T2 * maps approximately in real time. CONCLUSION:Due to comparable accuracy and significantly higher speed, ARLO can be considered as a valid alternative to the conventional LM algorithm for online T2 * mapping.

Fast-spin-echo versus rapid gradient-echo for 3D magnetization-prepared acquisitions: Application to inhomogeneous magnetization transfer.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the benefits of fast spin echo (FSE) imaging over rapid gradient-echo (RAGE) for magnetization-prepared inhomogeneous magnetization transfer (ihMT) imaging.MethodsA 3D FSE sequence was modified to include an ihMT preparation (ihMT-FSE) with an optional CSF suppression based on an inversion-recovery (ihMT-FLAIR). After numeric simulations assessing SNR benefits of FSE and the potential impact of an additional inversion-recovery, ihMT-RAGE, ihMT-FSE, and ihMT-FLAIR sequences were compared in a group of six healthy volunteers, evaluating image quality, thermal, and physiological noise as well as quantification using an ihMT saturation (ihMTsat) approach. A preliminary exploration in the cervical spinal cord was also conducted in a group of three healthy volunteers.ResultsSeveral fold improvements in thermal SNR were observed with ihMT-FSE in agreement with numerical simulations. However, we observed significantly higher physiological noise in ihMT-FSE compared to ihMT-RAGE that was mitigated in ihMT-FLAIR, which provided the best total SNR (+74% and +49% compared to ihMT-RAGE in the white and gray matter, P ≤ 0.004). IhMTsat quantification was successful in all cases with strong correlation between all sequences (r2 > 0.75). Early experiments showed potential for spinal cord imaging.ConclusionsFSE generally offers higher SNR compared to gradient-echo based acquisitions for magnetization-prepared contrasts as illustrated here in the case of ihMT. However, physiological noise has a significant effect, but an inversion-recovery-based CSF suppression was shown to be efficient in mitigating effects of CSF motion.

Inequality-Constrained and Robust 3D Face Model Fitting.

Project description:Fitting 3D morphable models (3DMMs) on faces is a well-studied problem, motivated by various industrial and research applications. 3DMMs express a 3D facial shape as a linear sum of basis functions. The resulting shape, however, is a plausible face only when the basis coefficients take values within limited intervals. Methods based on unconstrained optimization address this issue with a weighted ℓ 2 penalty on coefficients; however, determining the weight of this penalty is difficult, and the existence of a single weight that works universally is questionable. We propose a new formulation that does not require the tuning of any weight parameter. Specifically, we formulate 3DMM fitting as an inequality-constrained optimization problem, where the primary constraint is that basis coefficients should not exceed the interval that is learned when the 3DMM is constructed. We employ additional constraints to exploit sparse landmark detectors, by forcing the facial shape to be within the error bounds of a reliable detector. To enable operation "in-the-wild", we use a robust objective function, namely Gradient Correlation. Our approach performs comparably with deep learning (DL) methods on "in-the-wild" data that have inexact ground truth, and better than DL methods on more controlled data with exact ground truth. Since our formulation does not require any learning, it enjoys a versatility that allows it to operate with multiple frames of arbitrary sizes. This study's results encourage further research on 3DMM fitting with inequality-constrained optimization methods, which have been unexplored compared to unconstrained methods.
