Optimal Embedding for Shape Indexing in Medical Image Databases
Fast retrieval using organ shapes is crucial in medical image databases since shape is a clinically prominent feature. In this paper, we propose that 2-D shapes in medical image da...

Model-Based Parameter Recovery from Uncalibrated Optical Images
We propose a novel method for quantitative interpretation of uncalibrated optical images which is derived explicitly from an analysis of the image formation model. Parameters chara...

Synthetic Ground Truth for Validation of Brain Tumor MRI Segmentation
Validation and method of comparison for segmentation of magnetic resonance images (MRI) presenting pathology is a challenging task due to the lack of reliable ground truth. We prop...

A Unifying Approach to Registration, Segmentation, and Intensity Correction
We present a statistical framework that combines the registration of an atlas with the segmentation of magnetic resonance images. We use an Expectation Maximization-based algorithm...

A Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman Approach to High Angular Resolution Diffusion Tractography
Abstract. This paper describes a new framework for white matter tractography in high angular resolution diffusion data. A direction-dependent local cost is defined based on the dif...

Construction of a 4D Statistical Atlas of the Cardiac Anatomy and Its Use in Classification
Abstract. In this paper we present a novel method for building a 4D statistical atlas describing the cardiac anatomy and how the cardiac anatomy changes during the cardiac cycle. T...

Riemannian Elasticity: A Statistical Regularization Framework for Non-linear Registration
In inter-subject registration, one often lacks a good model of the transformation variability to choose the optimal regularization. Some works attempt to model the variability in a...

Multiscale 3D Shape Analysis Using Spherical Wavelets
Shape priors attempt to represent biological variations within a population. When variations are global, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) can be used to learn major modes of vari...
