Doctor of Engineering

Image Information Engineering

Dedicated to study of bases and application in imaging software engineering, including in particular, applied artificial intelligence of computer vision and image recognition and understanding, pattern information analysis of images and shapes, and image-based measurement, and to development of related methods for data processing and analysis as well as software. The major subjects are related to medical images (computer-aided medical image diagnosis) , but not limited. For example, evaluation methods are called for, which are essentially applicable to general-purpose. Biomedical research subjects are often suggested by clinical sides with hints.

Current and Past Project

• Research under Grant-in-aid by the Japanense Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Development and use of computer-aided diagnosis systems using digital images. Its goal is development of technics and systems for supporting medical diagnosis by developing and evaluating automatic diagnosis functions of cancer by computers. Allotment: development of fundamental techniques of medical image recognition for diagnosis support.
• Medical X-ray images include overlapping background tissues. The essentially additive property of the imaging is invoked in estimating the backgrounds as an envelope for the gray level distribution. By removing the background components, the image may represents more directly the X-ray absorption by the target tissue itself of the imaging.
• Research under Grant-in-aid by the Japanense Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The goal is development of computer-aided cancer diagnosis and systems through computer technology development of image recognition and visualization. Allotment: research on image understanding for automated cancer diagnosis by using gastric radiographs.
