CAD-to-CT Registration of Cylindrical Objects via Ellipse-Based Axis Estimation

Aleksander Ogonowski, Mikołaj Mrozowski, Daniel Więcek et al.

Accurate registration of CAD models to CT scans is essential for establishing ground truth geometry in volumetric imaging. Obtaining reliable object masks is of growing importance in machine learning settings; as recent architectures grow more capable, huge datasets are required to fully utilise their capabilities. Traditional intensity-based methods fail when CT grayscale values lack calibration references, while point-based algorithms (e.g., ICP, RANSAC) require feature correspondence unavailable between idealized CAD geometry and noisy volumetric CT data. We propose a two-stage geometric registration method for cylindrical objects (ionization chambers) that takes advantage of the distinctive geometric features of the objects. First, we estimate the 3D rotation axis by detecting elliptical cross-sections across CT slices, fitting ellipses to edge-detected contours, and performing PCA on the fitted ellipse centers after RANSAC outlier removal. Second, we voxelize the CAD model, orient it along the detected axis, and maximize volumetric overlap with the CT scan through translational adjustment. This approach achieves robust registration with tilt and orientation errors below $0.1^\circ$ without intensity calibration or feature matching. Once registered, the aligned CAD model provides ground truth geometry for applications including machine learning-based object localization and automated analysis in industrial CT workflows.

Preliminary study on artificial intelligence methods for cybersecurity threat detection in computer networks based on raw data packets

Aleksander Ogonowski, Michał Żebrowski, Arkadiusz Ćwiek et al.

Most of the intrusion detection methods in computer networks are based on traffic flow characteristics. However, this approach may not fully exploit the potential of deep learning algorithms to directly extract features and patterns from raw packets. Moreover, it impedes real-time monitoring due to the necessity of waiting for the processing pipeline to complete and introduces dependencies on additional software components. In this paper, we investigate deep learning methodologies capable of detecting attacks in real-time directly from raw packet data within network traffic. We propose a novel approach where packets are stacked into windows and separately recognised, with a 2D image representation suitable for processing with computer vision models. Our investigation utilizes the CIC IDS-2017 dataset, which includes both benign traffic and prevalent real-world attacks, providing a comprehensive foundation for our research.
