It is now common practice in machine vision to define the variability in an object's appearance in a factored manner, as a combination of shape and texture transformations. I...
This paper describes the conceptual and algorithmic evolutions of Memory Based Parametric Equalization (MPEQ) needed to exploit the potentialities of the method within the state-o...
In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is. We define a term called “deformability index” for shapes. The deformability index is computed ...
There have been many efforts using image analysis algorithms to study cardiac kinematics, or using biomechanics strategies to study myocardial material properties. In this paper, ...
A novel shape based segmentation approach is proposed by modifying the external energy component of a deformable model. The proposed external energy component depends not only on t...
