We propose a new global registration method for estimating the cardiac displacement field in 2D sequences of ultrasound images of the heart. The basic idea is to select a referenc...
Abstract. Concepts from elasticity are applied to analyze modes of variation on shapes in two and three dimensions. This approach represents a physically motivated alternative to s...
— This paper presents an analytical model for calculating the deformation behavior of an elastic, composite strut comprising any number of materials, which are represented by an ...
Medical volume images contain ambiguous and low-contrast boundaries around which existing fully- or semiautomatic segmentation algorithms often cause errors. In this paper, we pro...
We describe two new shape operators that superimpose wrinkles on top of a smooth NURBS surface. Previous research studying wrinkles focused mostly on cloth modeling or in animatio...
