Anatomical objects often have complex and varying image appearance at different portions of the boundary; and it is frequently a challenge even to select appropriate scales at whic...
We present novel approaches for fully automated extraction of tree-like tubular structures from 3-D image stacks. A 4-D Open-Curve Active Contour (Snake) model is proposed for sim...
Fitting statistical models is a widely employed technique for the segmentation of medical images. While this approach gives impressive results for simple structures, shape models a...
Recently, nonlinear shape models have been shown to improve the robustness and flexibility of segmentation. In this paper, we propose Shape Regularized Active Contour (ShRAC) that...
—This paper describes a complete system to create anatomically accurate example-based volume deformation and animation of articulated body regions, starting from multiple in vivo...
