Mexican drug cartel leader 'Tony Tormenta' killed during two-hour gun battle with marines
- Golfer on U.S. side of border records sound of gunfire: 'I've never had my round interrupted by a gun battle'
Antonio Ezequiel Cardenas Guillen, also known as 'Tony Tormenta' or 'Tony the Storm', was killed along with four of his gunmen and three marines in the city of Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas
Marines have killed one of Mexico's most-wanted drug lords in a two-hour gun battle near the U.S. border.
Antonio Ezequiel Cardenas Guillen, also known as 'Tony Tormenta' or 'Tony the Storm', was killed yesterday along with four of his gunmen and three marines in the city of Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.
Across the city residents holed up in their homes and offices to escape the violence, communicating by Facebook and Twitter.
'Shelter, everyone! Don't leave your houses please. Pass the word,' read one tweet.
A soldier and a newspaper reporter were also killed in related mayhem which took place across the city.
Cardenas Guillen, 48, is believed to have run the powerful cartel along with Jorge Eduardo Costilla Sanchez, moving cocaine and marijuana into the U.S. He had been indicted on drug-trafficking charges in the U.S., where authorities had offered a $5million reward for information leading to his arrest.
Mexican authorities offered a $2million reward and had him on their list of the nation's most-wanted drug traffickers.
He was killed in an operation that included 150 marines, three helicopters and 17 military vehicles and that was the result of more than six months of intelligence work, the Mexican navy said.
Officials said troops showing up to arrest Cardenas Guillen were met with grenades and heavy weapon fire when they approached his hideout at 3.30pm yesterday. The shooting then continued for another two hours.
The Matamoros newspaper El Expreso said on its website that reporter Carlos Guajardo was killed covering one of the shootouts in the city believed to be linked to the search for Guillen. Local news media reported Guajardo's car was hit by gunfire more than 20 times.
A golfer playing a round in Brownsville, just across the border, recorded the gunfire. He posted the video on YouTube and said the Fort Brown golf course was soon closed by the Department of Homeland Security.
A policeman stands in front of a burning truck in the city of Morelia, Mexico. Roadblocks were set up and cars set on fire in an attempt to free two alleged drug traffickers from custody, authorities believe
Hell on earth: Burning cars block the road between Patzcuaro and Morelia during the firefight yesterday
At the end of the clip he wrote: 'I have
had my round [sic] golf interrupted by lightning and rain but never
from a gun battle coming from another country.'
The deceased trafficker's brother Osiel Cardenas Guillen led the Gulf cartel until his arrest by Mexican authorities in a shootout in Matamoros in 2003. Osiel was extradited to the U.S. in 2007 and sentenced to 25 years in prison by a Texas court in February.
North-eastern Mexico, an area once controlled by the Gulf cartel, has seen an increase in violence due to a turf battle between the cartel and the Zetas, a drug gang formed by ex-military special forces originally as the assassins for the cartel.
The violence has included broad-daylight shootouts and dozens of beheaded corpses dumped in public areas.
Chaos: Drug gangs blocked roads and set fire to gas stations in the colonial city of Morelia in western Mexico on Friday evening
Cardenas Guillen's death is a major boost to the Mexican president's war on drug cartels.
'Today, we have taken another meaningful step toward the dismantling of criminal groups that do so much damage to our country,' said Alejandro Poire, presidential security spokesman.
Arturo Beltran Leyva, leader of the Beltran Leyva cartel, died in a raid outside Mexico City on Dec. 16, 2009. Mexican soldiers killed the Sinaloa cartel's No. 3 capo, Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel, on July 29 of this year. On Aug. 30, federal police announced the capture of Edgar Valdez Villarreal, alias "La Barbie," and on Sept. 12 Mexican marines captured Sergio Villarreal Barragan, another presumed Beltran Leyva leader.
More violence flared on Friday after the arrest of two alleged drug traffickers in the historic city of Patzcuaro outside of Morelia. Roadblocks were set up and and cars were set on fire in the city which is in the western state of Michoacan, which is controlled by La Familia cartel. The department said the vandalism was part of an attempt to free the detained men from federal custody.

Authorities in Guerrero state said Friday relatives of 20 tourists from Michoacan who went missing in the resort city of Acapulco have identified the remains of five of them among 18 bodies found buried in a clandestine grave.
Fernando Monreal, investigative police chief for Guerrero state, said relatives of the men abducted Sept. 30 recognised personal belongings and identifying marks on their bodies.
Earlier in the day, Mexican authorities announced that eight members of a drug cartel were arrested in the torture and slaying of the brother of a former state attorney general.
The body of Mario Angel Gonzalez Rodriguez was found half buried in a house under construction in Chihuahua city after one of the suspects told officials where they could find him. Gonzalez had been forced to appear at gunpoint in a video saying his sister worked for a rival gang.
More than 28,000 Mexicans have been killed in drug-related violence since Calderon launched a national assault on organized crime in late 2006. The Committee to Protect Journalists said in a recent report that at least 22 Mexican journalists have been killed since December 2006.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The Crocker Museum served as a storage space for precious pieces of artwork for Japanese families during WWII.
The museum says it recently discovered the it kept precious items for several families sent away to relocation camps, and is now trying to track down those families.
Registrar John Caswell says he recently discovered in old archived documents that the Crocker Museum once served as storage space for Japanese-American families forced into war relocation camps back in 1942.
"Given the time and the uncertainty of everything these people were going through, they at least knew that at least some of their things would remain and they were going to be protected by the Crocker.
The museum kept around 400 items safe for years, storing them in a basement of the old Crocker Museum building.
Among the items were paintings, kimonos, Buddhist shrines and ceremonial furniture. Many of the families who stored their items here once lived in the neighborhood surrounding the museum, but some lived as far away as Hanford.
"I can't imagine they took much with them to the camps, but they kept those receipts folded up and in some place safe, you can tell they have sort of been well-worn," he said.
A vault of historical significance that no one here knew about until recently.
"The children of these families are reaching a certain age and they are getting older and older and if we could bring a little bit of memory back into their life..that something good happened while they were off doing something that wasn't particularly pleasant, that would be a great thing," he said.

The dilapidated Vegas mansion was home to the flamboyant star from the 1960's until his death in 1987
The mansion once belonging to flamboyant pianist Liberace - who was recently portrayed by Michael Douglas in the film Behind the Candelabra - has been sold this week for just $500,000. Real estate agency Redfin reported that the property had sold at the beginning of the week (26 August) having been on the market for a number of years after falling into foreclosure in 2010. It was purchased by Englishman Martyn Ravenhill, a life-long Liberace fan.

Speaking with local magazine Get Surrey, based in his native England, Ravenhill described an immediate attachment he felt with the property when he first viewed it and said he felt compelled to buy the property as a celebration of his 50th birthday. Revealing that he flew from his home in Mexico to Vegas upon hearing the property was for sale, Ravenhill said, "Suddenly there I was walking around this place. Opening the door felt like home. There was a strange feeling of nostalgia to me. You could feel the history in the place as well. As we were walking around I already knew that I had to buy it to mark my 50th birthday. I have come to the realisation that you have to do things while you can and seize the moment."

New Liberace biopic is released UK-wide today after delighting audiences at Cannes but despite the widespread positive reactions, 'Behind The Candelabra' will never even be considered for an Academy Award.
Liberace biopic, Behind The Candelabra, has been released today in UK cinemas today but due to troubles securing big-buck Hollywood funding, the glitteringly kitsch film will only be seen on TV in the US, making it exempt from Oscar considerations.
In unfortunate circumstances for all who worked hard to create the well-received, feature-length biopic, Behind The Candelabra, its broadcast on US TV, instead of screening in cinemas, will mean that the film starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon cannot win the most illustrious award in filmmaking. No matter how many scores of critics proclaim their adoration; regardless of how many fans flock in their droves to the cinema here in the U.K, the film will never even have a shot at the Oscars.
According to director Steven Soderbergh, Behind The Candelabra was denied any financing from Hollywood studios because of their belief that only gay people would want to go and see the film. Soderbergh failed to let Hollywood's knockback deflate his big plans to bring Liberace back to life, finding funding instead from HBO, the American cable television network, who will broadcast the biopic on the small screen. Soderbergh said he and his team saw the bright side: "Our attitude was: 'More people are going to see it this way anyway.'"

Matt Damon feels ''proud'' of revealing his ''Brazilian tan line'' on camera alongside Michael Douglas in 'Behind The Candelabra'.
Matt Damon is ''proud'' of revealing his ''Brazilian tan line'' in 'Behind The Candelabra'.
The 49-year-old actor portrays the late entertainer Liberace's gay lover Scott Thorson alongside Michael Douglas in the biopic and was pleased with himself after the risqué scene he suggested to director Steven Soderbergh - which involved him exposing his bare bottom on camera - was included.
Matt said: ''I explained to [Steven] in this parking lot in West Hollywood about my Brazilian tan line that I had to get to make some of the outfits fit and not show a tan line.

'Behind the Candelabra' actors Michael Douglas and Matt Damon used their own marriages to help inspire their gay relationship in the new Liberace biopic.
Michael Douglas and Matt Damon used their own marriages as inspiration for 'Behind the Candelabra'.
The actors play gay lovers in the new Liberace biopic - which focuses on his secret relationship with Scott Thorson - and they felt they could ''relate'' to the couple because of their own marriages.
Speaking at the film's press conference at Cannes Film Festival, Damon said: ''What it felt like was a a love story, a movie about a real, long-term relationship.

The 66th Cannes Film Festival kicked off this week with the glittering red carpet premiere of The Great Gatsby, attended by filmmaker Bas Luhrmann and cast members Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton and Isla Fisher. The film opened in America last Friday and in the UK this Thursday.
Mulligan also stars in another film in competition at Cannes: the Coen brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis is the story of a folk singer (Oscar Isaac) in 1960s New York. The eclectic, starry cast includes Justin Timberlake, Garrett Hedlund and John Goodman. And to go with the Cannes world premiere, the film launched its first trailer this week. It looks pretty unmissable, and is being released to target awards season.

Michael Douglas as Liberace in Behind The Candelabra
Steven Soderbergh lands in sunny Cannes this week with his HBO movie Behind the Candelabra, a biopic of the flamboyant pianist Liberace, played by Michael Douglas. The American entertainer's personal life was embroiled in scandal with rumors of homosexuality which he always vehemently denied - this despite his close relationship with a young chauffeur named Scott, 39-years his junior.
Scott, played by Matt Damon, becomes an important figure in the pianist's life and he is even persuaded to under facial surgery by the pianist. It led to a desperate struggle with drugs and various fiery arguments between the pair. "I didn't want to do a biopic in the traditional sense. I wanted to go narrow and deep," Soderbergh told the Los Angeles Times of the movie, "It's Alice going down the rabbit hole. That's a much more elegant way to get into Liberace's life." On his love scenes with Damon, Michael Douglas told the New York Magazine, "Once you get that first kiss in, you are comfortable.Matt and I didn't rehearse the love scenes. We said, 'Well - we've read the script, haven't we?"

Michael Douglas forced director Steven Soderbergh to cut gay porn scenes in their new Liberace biopic because the actor wanted to be able to show his young kids the film without having to explain the explicit shots.
The Wall Street star portrays the flamboyant pianist in Behind The Candelabra, and, although he had no problem filming intimate scenes with his co-star Matt Damon, who plays Liberace's young lover Scott Thorson, Douglas refused to allow footage of men's penises to grace the Tv screens in the movie.
He tells New York Magazine, "Liberace loved sex, and I didn't have a problem with that. But, at one point, Steven Soderbergh wanted to show Lee (Liberace) watching a gay porno...

IBM, GM, Coke Form Environmental Innovation Council
IBM and the World Environment Center have announced the formation of the Innovations in Environmental Sustainability Council, whose charter members will include Boeing, Coca-Cola and General Motors.
The council of global companies will explore how innovation in business process and technology can enable strategic solutions to major sustainability challenges involving materials, energy, water, infrastructure and logistics. Charter members, which also include CH2M Hill, Dow Chemical, F. Hoffman-La Roche, Johnson & Johnson and Disney, commit to incorporate sustainability more deeply into their strategy and practice.
Members will share their experiences to encourage adoption of best practices, both in increasing efficiency and in identifying and developing opportunities for growth. The council's first meeting will be held February 7-8 in Orlando, Florida.
Neil Hawkins, Dow Chemical's vice president of sustainability and EH&S, wrote in an Environmental Leader column that when sustainability is at the core of business, it can be a platform for innovation and growth.
As an example, he cited Dow's 2015 sustainability goals, which press the company to accelerate innovation while reducing its global footprint.
Recently IBM listed "people power" – energy captured from human activities such as walking and jogging – as one of its 2011 "5 in 5." The annual list names innovations that have the potential to change the way people work, live and interact during the next five years.
Reader Comments
Unfortunately, this article is laughable… for so many reasons, it would take days to cover. I'm just surprised they (Innovations in Environmental Sustainability) haven't asked Chevron, Monsanto or Disney Corporation, to join them.
I applaud their efforts, unlike the views of nikki. I have been impressed with the efforts and accomplishments of Walmart, a company that had previously been deemed hopeless, in this regard. If Walmart can have successes so can these corps. If sustainability efforts are to have any kind of impact it needs to start with corporations like these to lead the way.

Sky 86, Mercury 55
Shay Murphy scored 20 of her career-high 22 points in the first half and Chicago beat short-handed Phoenix Sunday to stay a game behind New York for the fourth and final playoff spot in the East with three games to play.
Epiphanny Prince added 15 points and four assists, and Swin Cash had 12 points and eight rebounds for Chicago. The Sky have won four of their last six games to improve to 13-18.
Murphy scored seven straight points during a 12-0 run late in the second quarter as Chicago went up 55-26 at the break. The Mercury never got closer than 21 in the second half. It was the largest margin of victory in Sky franchise history, surpassing a 27-point win over San Antonio on July 14, 2010.
Charde Houston had 15 points, four rebounds and three assists for Phoenix (7-24).
With three injured starters out, the Mercury used only seven players - three rookies - for the second straight game.
Murphy, who came into the game averaging 7.8 points, made 4 of 5 3-pointers in the first half.
Chicago will visit Seattle on Tuesday and finish the season at home with games against third-place Atlanta and last-place Washington.
Courtney Vandersloot had 14 points and three assist for the Sky.
Olympic gold medalist Diana Taurasi, who has missed 23 games this season, sat out for the third straight game along with the league's second-leading scorer, DeWanna Bonner, who has a sore back.
Liberty 75 Mystics 68
Cappie Pondexter had 30 points and 11 rebounds as New York rallied from a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Washington.
Nicole Powell scored 10 of her 18 points in the fourth and Essence Carson added 15 points as New York (14-17) won its third straight.
Jasmine Thomas scored 16 points and Monique Currie had 12 to lead the Washington (5-27), which has lost 11 straight.
Powell's 3-pointer tied the score at 63 with 2:50 left and her short jumper gave the Liberty a 67-65 lead with 1:34 to play.
After a miss by Currie, Kara Braxton scored on a layup off a nice pass from Pondexter to make it 69-65 with 48 seconds left.
Matee Ajavon missed a short jumper and Pondexter hit two three throws. Thomas's 3-pointer made it 71-68 with 19 seconds to go, but the Mystics got no closer.
Washington outscored New York 19-12 in the third quarter and built a five-point lead as the Liberty hit just 5-of-22 field goals.
Washington played without leading scorer Crystal Langhorne (14.7 ppg), who left Friday's loss to Atlanta with a left foot sprain, and Noelle Quinn (6.5 ppg), out with an injured right shoulder.
Shock 80, Silver Stars 70
Temeka Johnson scored 18 points to lead Tulsa to a victory against playoff-bound San Antonio.
Ivory Latta added 15 points and Roneeka Hodges 11 for Tulsa (8-23), which won its second straight after a four-game skid.
Sophia Young scored 15 points and Danielle Adams 12 to lead San Antonio (19-12), which has lost seven of 10 since a 12-game winning streak. Becky Hammon and Jia Perkins both scored 10 points.
Young's layup with 4:57 was San Antonio's last points until Adams hit a short jumper with 25.2 seconds left.

First off, even though the store is listed as a "resale store" - it isn't. Until yp.com changes that, you'll find out from this review. :P The store carries a lot of cute clothing for clubbing and everyday wear. Pricing for the clothing is decent, you get a good deal each time. The sizes run a little small, but that doesn't matter as long as I find the right size. The staff are helpful and friendly which is a huge plus for any shopping experience.

This application claims priority of German application No. 10 2005 047 539.6 filed Sep. 30, 2005, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The invention relates to an image processing method for determining and setting optimized windowing and/or dose control for medical diagnostic devices, especially digital flat-panel detectors based on x-ray radiation.
Digital imaging methods have now come to play a decisive role in medical diagnostics and intervention. Whereas digital techniques have been used from the start in diagnostic methods such as in computer tomography, magnetic resonance, ultrasound and in nuclear medicine, the transition to digital imaging is now taking place to a large extent in "conventional" x-ray methods, such as mammography, angiography or cardiology. Digital x-ray detectors have thus been changing classical radiography for many years. A very wide variety of technologies have already been in use for a long time or are due on the market very soon. These digital technologies include systems such as image intensifier camera systems, based on television or CCD (Charged Coupled Devices) cameras, memory foil systems with integrated or external read-out unit, systems with optical coupling of the converter foil to CCDs or CMOS chips, selenium-based detectors with electrostatic readout or solid-state detectors with active readout matrices and direct or indirect conversion of the x-ray radiation. The last-mentioned solid-state detectors (FD) in particular have undergone extensive development in recent years for use in digital x-ray imaging. A detailed overview of different systems or the general operation of direct or indirect-operation solid-state detectors is given in "Flachbilddetektoren in the Röntgendiagnostik" (Flat Panel Detectors in x-ray diagnostics), Radiologe 43 (2003) P. 340-350).
The permanent request from practical user experience is for better editing of the digital image in order to present the diagnostic content to its optimum effect and thereby to simplify and to accelerate diagnosis. Furthermore a significant objective of digital image processing is the editing of the x-ray image to reduce the radiation burden on the patient and on the examiner. In this case image processing functions as an intermediary in cases in which image information is present in a form which is inaccessible to the eye as a result of physiological characteristics of human vision. In addition to resolution, two significant parameters for an optimum image adjustment are the signal level and the contrast. In this case what is known as windowing provides assistance in compensating for the contrast capability of the eye which is restricted to appr. 27-28 gray levels, in that a spreading of the subareas of the image over the entire light density area of the illumination medium is undertaken and thereby its full dynamics exploited. With the current high digital resolution which is already the norm of up to 14 bits and thereby 16384 gray levels, the parameters for windowing are becoming even more important. If the windowing is too narrow or if the optimum level is not selected, image content disappears, if windowing is too wide the image contrast is too low and details are more difficult to distinguish. As already mentioned at the start, with x-ray devices on the other hand with almost delay-free digitization, such as for example with x-ray devices with flat-panel detectors, image processing is used to make dose control (e.g. for fluoroscopic examinations at high image rates of approximately 30 images/s) possible. In this case the image content is analyzed automatically and the generator settings (e.g. high voltage, tube current, filter) are obtained for the subsequent series of images. At this point this control task must even be performed by a digital image processing, since unlike with older technologies of image amplifiers, no separate optical signal can be derived here which would be able to be used for control tasks.
Various options are known from the prior art for setting the correct window values. Thus U.S. Pat. No. 4,827,492 describes a device for manual gray value windowing in which the window width is set with one operating element and the center of the window, the upper or the lower window border are set with another operating element. However processes which execute automatically are desirable which save time and money in clinical operation.
Another widespread option for automatic windowing in x-ray systems is the exclusive use of so-called organ buttons which use a preset, empirically-determined set of parameters for the relevant recording area. The disadvantage of this process is the high operator effort caused by the organ buttons. Furthermore the imaging conditions which differ individually because of the previously defined parameters are not taken into account, the parameters set can thus only represent a compromise.
A method is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,351,306 in which, by determining statistical parameters in evaluation fields extending lengthwise in parallel to the border of the image, the position of insertions can be found. This fact that overradiation remains unconsidered and rotated insertions cannot be detected means that the optimum results are not always obtained with this type of windowing.
A method is known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,150,421 in which the histogram compensation described in literature and generally known (even distribution of the grey values) is performed in a slightly modified form. With this non-linear gray value transformation a restriction to the relevant image area is however also necessary. This is resolved by weighting the individual pixels differently. A requirement is that insertions and overradiation are extremely bright or dark and are also mainly to be found at the edges of the image. Pixels close to the edge of the image as well as those with extreme grey values are also weighted less for histogram compensation than those which lie closer to the center of the image or which have less extreme grey values. Furthermore an object contours detection is proposed which is based on the detection of large changes to gray values in the image. The disadvantages of such a method are that this non-linear gray value transformation changes the character of the image. Furthermore it is not always true to assume that relevant areas of the image always lie close to the center of the image or do not have any extreme gray values. In addition insertions cannot be reliably detected by an object contour detection simply by detecting large gray value changes in the image without further measures.
A method is known from DE-A1-197 42 152 for windowed presentation of medical images in which insertions and/or overradiations can be recognized and extracted and only for the relevant parts of the image recorded in this way can their window sizes be determined by determining their minimum and maximum values. In these cases overradiation and/or insertions are completely extracted by recognizing geometrical structures, which also causes the removal of pixels in the edge area of the relevant parts of the image. Furthermore a method is described through which, starting from the edge areas, insertions, caused by a diaphragm can be extracted. In this case pixels are investigated step-by-step to the center of the image to see if they exceed a threshold as regards their gray value. The approaches described here refer back to the recognition of geometrical structures, edges, contours.
The object of the invention is to specify a further-developed method which in a simple and robust manner separates diagnostic content of x-ray images from non-diagnostic content in order to achieve an optimum image reproduction and windowing. In this case especially direct irradiation areas or areas which are covered by tube-side diaphragms as well as transitional or edge areas of the relevant areas for imaging with diagnostic content are to be separated from the object area. Furthermore the object of the invention is to define the remaining diagnostic image areas so that they can be used for controlling the radiation dose.
The object is achieved by an image processing method for determining and setting an optimum windowing and/or dose control, especially of images of a medical diagnostic device based on x-ray radiation, whereby the digitized image consisting of a number of pixels of an original picture data matrix B created by an x-ray detector, especially a flat panel detector, is processed by the following steps:
1. Determining the object area by:
2. Signal evaluation of the ROI picture data elements of the object area
In this case the original detector picture data matrix B is the picture data matrix essentially directly recorded via the x-ray detector, which is subsequently reduced and simplified and investigated with regard to its object area of interest. Depending on detector size, resolution and intelligence a compressed input picture data matrix B1 is produced after a first possible iteration step and after a second iteration step an ROI picture data matrix B2 which contains as its elements what are referred to as Region Of Interest (ROI) image elements. This advantageously both minimizes the amount of data which enters further analysis and also achieves a certain smoothing of the output data. With the analysis of the ROI picture data elements these can now be clustered and divided into different areas. By division into the areas a decision is made as to whether the ROI picture data elements belong to an object area which is of further interest and is to be included in further observation or whether it should be discarded. The extraction of ROI picture data elements of interest is followed by settings for determining the object area. In further evaluations the data from the object area can also be used for controlling the radiation dose, especially for sequential multiple recordings. The method is essentially based on the fact that clinical objects generally exhibit structures i.e. edges or gray value changes (bones, vessels etc.). Direct radiation areas or inserted regions are by contrast very homogeneous, do not have any such structures and in addition have either very high signals (direct radiation area) or very low signals (diaphragm area).
It has proved advantageous for the input picture data matrix B1 to be formed by reducing the number of pixels. In current flat panel detectors measuring 40×40 cm, over 7 million pixels are produced in the first detector picture data matrix B for a pixel size of approximately 150 μm. A first reduction of this volume of data appears sensible, especially to guarantee examinations with high image rates (e.g. 30 images) because of the restrictions in performance arising.
In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the reduction of the number of pixels for forming the input picture data matrix B1 is undertaken by what is referred to as undersampling of the original detector picture data matrix B. In this case the original detector picture data matrix B is rastered into subareas, in which case these previously defined and as a rule static, equal-size and non-overlapping subareas are assembled from a specific number of pixels of the original detector picture data matrix B. From these subareas any given pixel or a pixel which is always located at the same position in the subarea is used representatively for generating the input picture data matrix B1. The total of the individual pixels taken from the subareas forms the input picture data matrix B1. This embodiment variant represents a very simple and high-performance but at the same time often sufficient method for first reduction of the original volume of image data.
In a further advantageous embodiment, a reduction of the number of pixels for forming the input picture data matrix B1 is generated by what is referred to as binning. In this process a pixel is again obtained for forming an input picture data matrix B1 from the previously-described subareas. This time however the pixel of the input picture data matrix B1 is calculated from the signal levels (gray values) of all pixels of the relevant subarea. The sum of the pixels calculated for the relevant subarea forms the input picture data matrix B1 for the further algorithm. Different options are conceivable for the calculation of the relevant pixels representing the subarea, which enables the pixels belonging to the subarea to be weighted differently. The advantage of this embodiment is an improvement of the database for the further algorithm since no pixels are discarded but all pixels are included in the formation of the input picture data matrix.
In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that the pixel of this subarea which is used to create the input picture data matrix B1 is calculated by forming the average of the signal levels of all pixels of the relevant subarea. Such averaging can be performed very quickly and forms the subarea for the further algorithm with sufficient quality.
In an advantageous embodiment of the invention it has proved sufficient and advantageous for the subarea to have a size of 3×3 pixels up to 15×15 pixels. This means that on the one hand the number of pixels can be a significantly reduced by a factor 9-225 without on the other hand important information being lost. Furthermore, this allows the algorithm to be well matched to the available computing power.
In another embodiment of the inventory a first compression of the original detector picture data matrix B can already be undertaken by algorithms in the detector and thereby by the detector itself. In the case in which the detector only provides a compressed detector picture data matrix this becomes the input picture data matrix B1 directly for subsequent method steps. In such a case the method step for forming the input data matrix B1 in the downstream digital image processing system can be almost switched to inactive because of the 1:1 relationship between subarea and pixels of the compressed data image matrix, and nothing changes in the algorithm itself. A control and adaptation to the pre-compression by the detector is then undertaken in these cases exclusively via the parameters supplied.
In a further advantageous variant an ROI picture data element is formed from the combination of 5×5 to 50×50, preferably 10×10 to 30×30 pixels of the input picture data matrix B1. This produces for example with the previously-mentioned detector data and subareas of 3×3 pixels a spectrum of appr. 300 to 30,000 ROI picture data elements. The precise number of the ROI picture data elements is governed by parameters such as complexity, resolution or contrast of the image.
In an advantageous variant of the invention the analysis of the individual ROI picture data matrix is undertaken by evaluating its frequency spectrum. To do this the ROI picture data elements which are presented in the time or space area as a series of gray values are transferred into what is referred to as the frequency area in which not only the gray values themselves but the frequency and phase components of the underlying sequences of gray values are mapped. A frequency image is thus produced for each ROI, as is generally known from the prior art. In this case large jumps in the grey value sequences are mapped via high frequencies, soft gray value transitions are equal to low frequencies. Furthermore diffraction effects, as inevitably occur in the diaphragm area, can be interpreted directly for example as intensity distribution of the Fourier transforms. Thus the evaluation of the frequency spectrum enables deductions to be made about edge areas caused by diaphragms. FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation) is to be specified as representing a possible algorithm for performing Fourier transformation. Other algorithms known to the person skilled in the art would be conceivable.
A further embodiment is produced if the evaluation of the frequency spectrum is related to the undershooting or exceeding of the threshold values. The frequency analysis can additionally be optimized by the knowledge of the organ to be examined. For example bone structures (e.g. knee, foot, hand etc.) will contain many more high frequency components than a soft tissue (abdomen). The typical detector mentioned above can resolve with a pixel size of 150 μm ideally and without aliasing effects local frequencies of up to 3.3 lp/mm (line pairs per millimeter). An observed organ with bone structures, such as a knee for example, will typically feature local frequencies of up to 3 lp/mm or more. These local frequencies then correspond to the object area, whereas direct irradiation or diaphragm areas will only have very small local frequencies (approaching 0 lp/mm). Further-developed, high-resolution detectors with a pixel size of for example up to 50 μm, as are preferably used in mammography, naturally need other threshold value parameters. In this way the assignment of the individual analyzed ROI picture data elements to pre-defined areas is easily possible.
In a further advantageous embodiment the analysis of the individual ROI picture data elements of the ROI picture data matrix is undertaken by evaluating their signal level compared to the histogram distribution of the input picture data matrix B1. The histogram forms all grey values from black to white in its range of values depending on the digital gray value resolution of the detector (analog-digital converter). Each ROI picture data element is now analyzed in respect of the range of values into which it falls. A relatively narrow lower range of values will correspond to the diaphragm area, a relatively narrow upper range of values to the direct irradiation area. The transitional areas directly adjoin diaphragm and direct irradiation area. The object region of interest thus lies between the transitional areas.
In an especially preferred embodiment the signal level is evaluated by comparison with the histogram distribution such that the signal levels of the ROI picture data elements, which are formed from the arithmetic mean of the individual pixels involved in the formation of the ROI image elements, the input picture data matrix B1, and which lies in the range of values from 10-70% of the histogram will be assigned to the object area. In a further subdivision a lower area of the histogram from 0-5% is assigned to the diaphragm area, an upper area of the histogram from 95-100% to the direct irradiation area. The areas from 5-10% as well as from 70-95% belong to the transitional areas. In this way ROI picture data elements can be assigned very easily and rapidly in a simple and high-performance manner to an object area. In further embodiments these area boundaries are also able to be variably adjusted.
In a further advantageous embodiment the analysis of the individual ROI picture data elements by ROI picture data matrix B2 is undertaken by the evaluation of the signal width function. In this case the signal of an ROI picture data element, i.e. its average grey value in the exemplary embodiment, is logically combined with the width of the ROI picture data element which is defined by the difference between the maximum and the minimum signal within this ROI picture data element. ROI picture data elements in diaphragm areas will have both small widths and also small signal values, ROI picture data elements in direct irradiation areas can likewise be expected to have small widths but high signal values. ROI picture data elements in transition areas, especially between diaphragm and direct irradiation area, will again feature large widths with average signals. Assignments to typed areas can thus be made from the position of the individual ROI picture data elements in the signal width diagram. Other calculation options are however also possible for determining the signal value and/or the width of the ROI picture data elements. Thus, for example, a signal value formed from the median can be calculated or the width is produced by the standard deviation ó, of the square root of the variance, that is of the second central moment. The values for signal level and width determined in this way can likewise be the basis for the evaluation of the signal width function. All the above-mentioned analysis methods have in common that they can be used in a simple manner for clustering of ROI picture data elements and thereby for extracting the image content relevant for further consideration.
In a further very advantageous embodiment of the invention, the above-mentioned analysis methods can be combined in any way with each other according to the frequency spectrum, according to the signal level compared to the histogram distribution and according to the signal width function. In this case two of the above-mentioned analysis methods or even all three analysis methods can be combined with each other. The accuracy of the statements made is further improved by a combination of the analysis methods, since disadvantages of the individual methods can be compensated for in this way.
In another preferred embodiment, the evaluation results for the individual ROI picture data elements from the frequency analysis and/or histogram distribution and/or signal width analysis form a number of input nodes of a neuronal network. The output node of this neuronal network then supplies information about which area (direct irradiation, diaphragm area, transitional or object area) the ROI picture data elements can be most probably assigned to. Input variables for the input nodes of the neuronal network represent for example the peak frequency of Fast Fourier Transformation or the relative signal level in relation to the histogram or the signal width function. If the knowledge of the organ to the examined by means of the organ programs is additionally to be provided as input value, the known organ represents a further option for supply to an input node.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the ROI picture data elements of the object area recognized are included for determining and setting an optimum dose performance of the x-ray radiation. In a first step, the arithmetic means of the individual ROI signal level of the object area are formed, the relevant mean represents the ROI picture data element with a value. According to a few embodiments of the invention (e.g. histogram distribution analysis), these values are already available and can be referred back to. In a further step a specific q-quantile of the series of ROI image data elements arranged in order of their signal level is determined so that the relative frequency of the underlying values is at least q. The value of the quantile is reconciled with the sensitivity of the detector for the x-ray spectrum used. It has for example proved advantageous to set the q-quantile to the 25 percent quantile. The reconciliation produces a value for the system dose arriving at the detector and in downstream processes lying outside the scope of the invention and therefore not explained in further detail here, generator settings such as high-voltage tube current, filter are obtained for example.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the ROI picture data elements of the detected object area are included for determining and setting an optimum windowing. Accordingly, as previously described the arithmetic means of the individual signal levels of the ROI picture data elements of the object are formed in a first step. The lower window value is now produced from a value lying in the range of values from 0-10% of the histogram, the upper window area from a value lying in a range of values from 90-100% of the histogram of all ROIs of the object area. In this case the above-mentioned percentage figures of 0 and 100% do not relate to the full dynamics of the detector but, as upper and lower limits, represent the actual grey range of the object area. Thus the grey range of the identified object area is spread once again which results in a further improved image presentation in the object area. It has proved advantageous to set the lower window area to the value of 5%, the upper window area to the value of 95%.
The invention is to be explained in greater detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments. The Figures show:

Looking for ways to save energy? Check out these tips -- which include using a power strip and switching to ENERGY STAR appliances -- that every homeowner should try.
Over the past couple of decades, advances in appliances and electronics -- from microwaves and dishwashers to smartphones and computers -- have changed the way we use energy in our homes.
Through the Energy Department's appliance standards, manufacturers are making great strides in developing new, more efficient appliances that are saving consumers money on their energy bills. The Department also works with the Environmental Protection Agency on ENERGY STAR, a program designed to help consumers lower their energy costs by using energy-efficient products.
Our home energy experts are answering your home energy audit questions and sharing advice on ways to save money on your energy bills.
A home energy audit is the first step to assessing how much energy your home consumes and to deciding what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient.
While not as thorough as a professional home energy audit, a simple do-it-yourself walk-through can help you identify and prioritize some energy efficiency upgrades.
Professional energy auditors use blower door tests to help determine a home's airtightness.
Energy auditors may use thermography -- or infrared scanning -- to detect thermal defects and air leakage in building envelopes.
The airtightness of a building can be determined by using several methods. Learn how the PFT (PerFluorocarbon tracer gas) technique provides information about air leakage and energy loss.
Profiling how a home energy audit and small energy efficiency upgrades helped one homeowner save big on her energy bills.

Contract Wins: Fogfuels, Dallas Schools, U. Mich., Tri-Tech
Fogfuels is to use its patented process to transform fats, oils and grease into B100 biodiesel fuel to power school buses, vehicles and machinery operated by the City of Atlanta. The company will work with independent haulers in the metropolitan Atlanta area to receive trap grease generated by restaurants and institutional sources. The waste will be received at the Fogfuels processing center where it will be converted to B100 biodiesel fuel. This facility will encourage haulers to remain compliant with City ordinances while resulting in significant reductions in their operating costs due to reduced tipping fees and transportation costs, Fogfuels says.
Green Planet Group Inc. has received additional orders for its XenTx diesel fuel savings and clean emissions additive from the Dallas County School System in Texas. The school district is the third largest pupil transportation district in the US and transports about 71,000 students to and from school each day. DCS expects to save $600,000 in fuel and maintenance costs during the first year of using XenTx.
Kroff Inc. has penned a five-year agreement with the University of Michigan to provide custom-formulated water treatment services for the university's Central Power Plant and North Campus Research Complex. Kroff will provide chemical water treatment, testing, monitoring and consulting services for the boilers, cooling towers and cooling loops in those areas.
Tri-Tech Infrastructure has secured a $2.02 million contract to provide a replacement sulfite waste liquid evaporator vessel to AV Cell, a New Brunswick company that produces softwood and hardwood pulp for its viscose staple fiber business. Under the contract, Tri-Tech US will provide a new evaporator body and accessories to replace an evaporator body from the original 1982 system for a magnesium-based sulfite pulp mill. The new evaporator body will help to increase the pulp mill's bisulfite black liquor treatment efficiency and improve the evaporator system operation to restore pulp capacity, Tri-Tech says.
The North Brooklyn Development Corporation and National Fish and Wildlife Foundation will jointly administer the Greenpoint Environmental Benefit Projects Program in New York, the state has announced. The program, with a $19.5 million fund, was established by the state's 2011 settlement with ExxonMobil, related to the oil company's massive oil spill in the Greenpoint area of Brooklyn.

AG appeals ruling on Sooba appointment
Attorney General Anil Nandlall on Thursday appealed acting Chief Justice Ian Chang's ruling that the appointment of Carol Sooba was legally defective.
The appeal was filed on behalf of the Minister of Local Government and seeks to have the order quashing Sooba's appointment vacated or set aside.
Last week, Justice Chang ruled that former Local Government Minis-ter Ganga Persaud did not have the lawful authority to appoint anyone and that his decision to appoint Sooba as the Town Clerk was "ultra vires" since that responsibility was vested in the Local Government Commission, although it has never been set up.
"…It is the finding of the court that the Minister acted ultra vires the provisions of the Municipal and District Councils Act, Chapter 28:01, and his decision to appoint Carol Sooba as Town Clerk must be quashed," Justice Chang said.
Although Justice Chang said that his decision does not prevent Sooba from continuing to perform the functions of Town Clerk as the "de facto" Town Clerk—since a direct challenge by quo warranto to her was needed to bring her de facto tenure to an end—the City Council by majority decision this week voted to send her on administrative leave until the situation is resolved.
In listing the grounds of appeal, Nandlall argued that Justice Chang "erred and misdirected himself in law when he ruled that the Minister of Local Government has no power to appoint Carol Sooba as Town Clerk for the Georgetown City Council under the Municipal and District Councils Act, Chapter 28:01."
He added that the judge "erred and misdirected himself in law when he ruled that section 95 of the Municipal and District Councils Act, Chapter 28:01 came into operation in the absence of any evidence whatsoever to that effect and in the face of evidence which tend to establish that the section did not come into operation."
He also argued that Justice Chang's decision was "misconceived and wrong in law" as well as "against the weight of the evidence."
Last December City Hall's Public Relations Officer Royston King filed a suit asking that the then minister, Persaud, show cause why his decision to appoint Sooba as Town Clerk should not be reversed.
King's move came after Sooba was appointed despite widespread disapproval and also because an interview panel had voted her as the least qualified person for the job. King had charged that the decision was an abuse of power because Persaud had failed to apply the conditions he had originally requested when advertising for a Town Clerk.
King, Paul Clarke and Darren Khan were the other applicants for the position.
On Monday, city councillors had voted to send Sooba on leave after Justice Chang had ruled that her appointment was unlawful.
