Nonrigid Registration of Dynamic Renal MR Images Using a Saliency Based MRF Model
Nonrigid registration of contrast-enhanced MR images is a difficult problem due to the change in pixel intensity caused by the washin and wash-out of the contrast agent. In this pa...

Conformal Slit Mapping and Its Applications to Brain Surface Parameterization
We propose a method that computes a conformal mapping from a multiply connected mesh to the so-called slit domain, which consists of a canonical rectangle or disk in which 3D curve...
