Improving Segmentation of the Left Ventricle Using a Two-Component Statistical Model
Abstract. Quality of segmentations obtained by 3D Active Appearance Models (AAMs) crucially depends on underlying training data. MRI heart data, however, often come noisy, incomple...

Limits on Estimating the Width of Thin Tubular Structures in 3D Images
This work studies limits on estimating the width of thin tubular structures in 3D images. Based on nonlinear estimation theory we analyze the minimal stochastic error of estimating...

Physics-Based Elastic Image Registration Using Splines and Including Landmark Localization Uncertainties
We introduce an elastic registration approach which is based on a physical deformation model and uses Gaussian elastic body splines (GEBS). We formulate an extended energy function...

Toward Interactive User Guiding Vessel Axis Extraction from Gray-scale Angiograms: An Optimization Framework
We propose a novel trace-based method to extract vessel axes from gray-scale angiograms without preliminary segmentations. Our method traces the axes on an optimization framework w...
