Biomechanically-Constrained 4D Estimation of Myocardial Motion
We propose a method for the analysis of Magnetic Resonance (MR) cardiac images with the goal of reconstructing the motion of the ventricular walls. The main feature of our method i...

Cortical Shape Analysis in the Laplace-Beltrami Feature Space
For the automated analysis of cortical morphometry, it is critical to develop robust descriptions of the position of anatomical structures on the convoluted cortex. Using the eigen...

Setting Priors and Enforcing Constraints on Matches for Nonlinear Registration of Meshes
Abstract. We show that a simple probabilistic modelling of the registration problem for surfaces allows to solve it by using standard clustering techniques. In this framework, poin...
