Mass-spring systems are of special interest for soft tissue modeling in surgical simulation due to their ease of implementation and real-time behavior. However, the parameter ident...
We introduce a new hybrid approach for spline-based elastic image registration using both point landmarks and intensity information. As underlying deformation model we use Gaussian...
We present an interactive technique for the registration of captured images of elastic and rigid body parts in which the user is given flexible control over material specific de...
This paper presents a new method for computing elastic and plastic deformations in the context of discrete deformable model-based registration. Internal forces are estimated by ave...
Nonlinear deformations in fingerprint images, arising from the elasticity of the skin as well as the pressure and movement of the finger during image acquisition, lead to diffi...
