II. RESEARCH

1. Summary of Significant Research Accomplishments

Dr. Farag research focus is model-based computer vision and image understanding with practical and biomedical applications. His contributions have been in active computer vision, image modeling, segmentation, registration, and object reconstruction. Below is a sample.

A l y A . F a r a g , M a r c h 2 0 1 7 | 3

a) Contributions to Object Reconstruction:

Dr. Farag and students developed a unified framework for shape-from-shading (SFS) under various imaging conditions (e.g., Lambertian/Specular/Diffuse surfaces, orthographic/ perspective cameras, and general lighting). The irradiance equation of each setting is an explicit Partial Differential Equation amenable to convergent numerical methods. The concave/convex ambiguity resulting from the existence of singular points in the image is solved by taking into account the attenuation of illumination due to distance; a unique solution is obtained without information about the height of the image at the singular points of its surface (PAMI-00, CVPR-06 and CVPR-07). They applied SFS to important practical problems, including tile design (1995), reconstruction of the human jaw (2000) and 3D face recognition (2007). Farag holds patent on his SFS work (Farag, et al. “System and Method for 3-D Digital Reconstruction of An Oral Cavity from Sequence of 2-D Images,” US Patent No. 09/842,587.

Dr. Farag and students designed one of the early active vision systems (registered under CardEye) with five degrees of freedom: pan, tilt, roll, vergence and variable baseline in addition to automated zoom and focus of the lenses. They developed novel approaches for active camera calibration with sub-pixel accuracy, and for correcting lens distortion (CVPR-97, ICCV-99, TIP-05). CardEye is employed in research and teaching of geometric computer vision since 1997; it improved reconstructions of smooth objects, and enables sensor planning of vision-guided systems.

Dr. Farag has generalized various aspects of image formation (camera, lighting and surface characteristics), and developed cohesive solutions that lend benefits to various real world problems. Farag’s contribution has been in the engineering aspect and in generalization of still camera calibration to include zoom and focus.

b) Contributions to Analysis of Multimodality Imaging:

Dr. Farag and students developed variational models for image segmentation and characterization of shape. Their surface signatures (IEEE-PAMI-02), vector level sets (ICCV-05, IEEE-PAMI-07) and skeltonization (CVPR-05 and ICCV-07) provide robust shape models. These analytic models are efficient in segmentation and registration of multimodality imaging, especially with occluded and degraded objects, and are the basis of a new visualization system for virtual colonoscopy, known as Fly-Over (IPMI-05, MICCAI-06). The Fly-Over approach provides up to 10% improvement in visualization over the state of the art, enabling accurate detection of colon polyps. Farag and Hassouna hold a formal patent on Fly-Over (US Patent No. 8,014,561 – issued on 9/6/2011), and a patent on their work to extract the medial axes of shapes (US 8041141 issued 10/18/2011).

Dr. Farag and colleagues have major focus on early detection and follow-up of lung cancer using chest low dose CT (LDCT) scans (e.g., MICCAI-04, MICCAI-05, ICPR-06). Their approach combines shape and appearance information to distinguish nodules from lung tissue in LDCT scans, and outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of sensitivity and specificity on nodules less than 1 mm diameter. This patented work is basis for automated CAD system for screening of lung cancer from LDCT scans; US 8073226 patent “Automatic Detection and Monitoring of Nodules and Shaped Targets in Image Data”, issued on 12/06/2011 (with Elbaz).

c) Contributions on Image Modeling

Dr. Farag has long standing contributions to statistical image modeling. In his 1992 work with Delp (Journal of Optical Engineering, Vol. 12, pp. 2594­2607, December 1992), a composite model was used to describe the image information in a dual random field description of the appearance (texture) and regions that involved simultaneous autoregressive models plus Gibbs-Markov. These models were also used in their work for sequential edge linking (Edge Linking by Sequential Search,” Pattern Recognition. Vol. 24, No. 5, pp. 611-633, 1995) where edges

A l y A . F a r a g , M a r c h 2 0 1 7 | 4

were modeled as a topological graph in which nodes representing edge information were sequentially extracted by a path metric based on second order Gibbs-Markov model.

Dr. Farag and colleagues introduced a novel probability density model that generalized the linear combinations of Gaussian representation (ICIP-04, IEEE-TIP-06). They introduced a novel modification to the classical E-M algorithm to estimate the weights and kernel parameters. The estimate is consistent, converges to the MLE solution, and outperforms the plethora of histogram modeling approaches in the literature. In the context of Bayesian classification from limited data, the model provides a robust estimate for the number of classes and the marginal densities – it is applicable for multidimensional density models.

Dr. Farag and students work on identification of the Gibbs-Markov model from limited data. They developed an analytic expression for the Gibbs energy from pair-wise pixel repetitions with generalized distance. The domain of energy concentration is used to estimate the topology of the neighborhoods. A second step evaluates the clique potentials on this topology. Even though these models existed in the literature for decades, the problem has been with accurate model identification. Dr. Farag’s approach is novel and automatic, and has shown to be robust for segmentation of various imaging modalities (ICIP-06, MICCAI-06 and ICPR-06). Dr. Farag and students introduced a new identification approach for the kernels in the support vector machine (SVM) classifier using the mean field theory which lend itself to faster and more optimal estimation (IEEE-GSRS-05).

d) Entrepreneurship

Dr. Farag has been actively pursuing industrial funding to prototype three of his inventions (Dental Probe US Patent No. 09/842,587; Virtual Colonoscopy US Patent No. 8,014,561; and Detection of Lung Nodules from Low Dose CT Scans, US Patent 11/824,669). His work on autonomous refueling was developed by federal support. His current work on face recognition at a distance (FRAD) has been developed and tested by federal support. This work has wide applicability in the industrial, governmental and biomedical domains. Dr. Farag owns a consulting office and is a scientist with Kentucky Imaging Technologies, LLC.

e) Impact on the University of Louisville

Dr. Farag joined the University of Louisville in 1990, created the computer vision and image processing laboratory (CVIP Lab) from scratch, graduated 30 MS and 20 PhD students (as of Spring 2012) who hold prestigious positions in academia and industry, published over 350 articles, edited two books on level set methods, authored an upcoming textbook on medical image analysis, and holds a number of patents. He received his institution’s top research award in 1999, Awarded University Scholar designation in 2002 in recognition of his achievements, and his research has been featured on local and national media and by the NSF. Among the impacts of the CVIP Lab are the following:

The CVIP Lab is the vehicle that brought supercomputing, immersive visualization, autonomous robotics, high bandwidth networking, and multidisciplinary bioimaging research to the University of Louisville. Facilities at the CVIP Lab are used by university wide audience; researchers from engineering, medicine, psychology, physics and mathematics collaborate with Dr. Farag and use the facilities of the CVIP Lab.

The CVIP Lab is a popular visiting site for local high schools, which impacts positively on student recruiting to the University and in making younger students develop interests in science and engineering.

In addition, the research at the CVIP Lab was cited in an official media release by NSF http://www.eng.nsf.gov/engnews/1998_News/computer_vision_for_better_med.htm, Silicon Graphics, Inc. http://www.sgi.com/features/2003/jan/louisville/ , and the Louisville Science Museum. http://www.louisvillescience.org
