Skeleton is a frequently applied shape feature to represent the general form of an object. Thinning is an iterative object reduction technique for producing a reasonable approximat...
This paper presents a Bayesian multi-scale three dimensional deformable template approach based on a medial representation for the segmentation and shape characterization of anatom...

Landmark-based thin-plate spline image registration is one of the most commonly used methods for non-rigid medical image registration and anatomical shape analysis. It is well know...
Abstract. This paper presents a new and integrated approach to automatic 3D brain vessel segmentation using physics-based statistical models of background and vascular signals, and...

Statistical analysis of anatomical shape differences between two different populations can be reduced to a classification problem, i.e., learning a classifier function for assignin...

In this paper we propose a novel approach to feature enhancement to enhance the quality of noisy images. Our approach is based on a phase-based feature detection algorithm, followe...
Spatial and temporal correlations which affect the signal measured in functional MRI (fMRI) are usually not considered simultaneously (i.e., as non-independent random processes) in...
