Real-Time Simulation of Deformable Soft Tissue Based on Mass-Spring and Medial Representation
In this paper, we present a novel deformable model for soft tissue simulation in a real-time manner. The innovative model consists of two submodels: the surface one and the interna...

Active Contours Under Topology Control Genus Preserving Level Sets
We present a novel framework to exert topology control over a level set evolution. Level set methods offer several advantages over parametric active contours, in particular automat...

A Hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian Approach for Thickness, Correspondence, and Gridding of Annular Tissues
—We present a novel approach to efficiently compute thickness, correspondence, and gridding of tissues between two simply connected boundaries. The solution of Laplace’s equat...

Locally Switching Between Cost Functions in Iterative Non-rigid Registration
In non-rigid image registration problems, it can be difficult to construct a single cost function that adequately captures concepts of similarity for multiple structures, for examp...

Registration of PET and MR Hand Volumes Using Bayesian Networks
Abstract. A method for the non-rigid, multi-modal, registration of volumetric scans of human hands is presented. PET and MR scans are aligned by optimising the configuration of a ...

Segmenting Brain Tumors with Conditional Random Fields and Support Vector Machines
Abstract. Markov Random Fields (MRFs) are a popular and wellmotivated model for many medical image processing tasks such as segmentation. Discriminative Random Fields (DRFs), a dis...
