A novel method for the segmentation of multiple objects from 3D medical images using inter-object constraints is presented. Our method is motivated by the observation that neighbor...
This paper presents a surface segmentation method which uses a simulated inflating balloon model to segment surface structure from volumetric data using a triangular mesh. The mod...
In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is given a sequence of its observations. We define a term called ‘‘deformability index’’ (DI) ...
Recently, nonrigid shape matching has received more and more attention. For nonrigid shapes, most neighboring points cannot move independently under deformation due to physical co...
This paper presents a method that uses the level sets of volumes to reconstruct the shapes of 3D objects from range data. The strategy is to formulate 3D reconstruction as a stati...
