Brain Segmentation with Competitive Level Sets and Fuzzy Control
We propose to segment 3D structures with competitive level sets driven by fuzzy control. To this end, several contours evolve simultaneously toward previously defined anatomical ta...

Multi-figure Anatomical Objects for Shape Statistics
Abstract. Multi-figure m-reps allow us to represent and analyze a complex anatomical object by its parts, by relations among its parts, and by the object itself as a whole entity. ...

Multi-dimensional Mutual Information Based Robust Image Registration Using Maximum Distance-Gradient-Magnitude
In this paper, a novel spatial feature, namely maximum distance-gradient-magnitude (MDGM), is defined for registration tasks. For each voxel in an image, the MDGM feature encodes s...
