This paper presents a statistical shape model for automatic skull stripping of MR brain images. A surface model of the brain boundary is hierarchically represented by a set of ove...
Segmenting brain from non-brain tissue within magnetic resonance (MR) images of the human head, also known as skull-stripping, is a critical processing step in the analysis of neu...

The paper presents a 2D or 3D shape deformation method which incorporates global and local stiffness controls. First, a geometric object is embedded into a regular lattice and then...
We propose a sweep-based approach to the freeform deformation of three-dimensional objects. Instead of using a volume enclosing the whole object, we approximate only its deformabl...
We introduce a new paradigm for automatic medical image analysis that adopts concepts from the field of Artificial Life. Our approach prescribes deformable organisms, autonomous ag...
