On Normalized Convolution to Measure Curvature Features for Automatic Polyp Detection
Early removal of polyps has proven to decrease the incidence of colon cancer. We aim to increase the sensitivity of the screening by automatic detection of polyps. It requires accu...

Compact Support Radial Basis Functions for Soft Tissue Deformation
We describe the use of compact support radial basis functions (CSRBFs) for simulation of soft tissue deformation. CSRBFs allow surface and volumetric deformations to be computed i...
