We present an ontology of objects, functions, and generic shape representation that supports form-function reasoning. By reasoning from the mechanical and other functions of object...
Abstract. Automatic delineation of the prostate boundary in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) can play a key role in image-guided prostate intervention. However, it is a very challengi...
Quantification and visualization of anatomical shape variability in different populations is essential for diagnosis and tracking progression of diseases. We present a new 3D med...
This paper presents a fast and efficient method to determine intervertebral disk orientation in a magnetic resonance (MR) image of the spine. The algorithm originates from active ...

We propose efficiency of representation as a criterion for evaluating shape models, then apply this criterion to compare the boundary curve representation with the medial axis. We...
