3D Active Shape Models Using Gradient Descent Optimization of Description Length
Abstract. Active Shape Models are a popular method for segmenting three-dimensional medical images. To obtain the required landmark correspondences, various automatic approaches ha...

Multi-figure Anatomical Objects for Shape Statistics
Abstract. Multi-figure m-reps allow us to represent and analyze a complex anatomical object by its parts, by relations among its parts, and by the object itself as a whole entity. ...

Multi-object Segmentation Using Shape Particles
Deformable template models, in which a shape model and its corresponding appearance model are deformed to optimally fit an object in the image, have proven successful in many medic...

Bayesian Population Modeling of Effective Connectivity
Abstract. A hierarchical model based on the Multivariate Autoregessive (MAR) process is proposed to jointly model neurological time-series collected from multiple subjects, and to ...

Multi-dimensional Mutual Information Based Robust Image Registration Using Maximum Distance-Gradient-Magnitude
In this paper, a novel spatial feature, namely maximum distance-gradient-magnitude (MDGM), is defined for registration tasks. For each voxel in an image, the MDGM feature encodes s...

Topology Preserving Tissue Classification with Fast Marching and Topology Templates
Abstract. This paper presents a novel approach for object segmentation in medical images that respects the topological relationships of multiple structures as given by a template. ...

The Role of Non-Overlap in Image Registration
Here we model the effect of non-overlapping voxels on image registration, and show that a major defect of overlap-only models--their limited capture range--can be alleviated. Theor...
