Multiresolution Reconstruction of Pipe-Shaped Objects from Contours
We reconstruct pipe-shaped objects from a set of contours, each of which is extracted from an image representing a slice sampled from 3D volume data. The contours are formed by con...

Human Pose Estimation from Volume Data and Topological Graph Database
This paper proposes a novel volume-based motion capture method using a bottom-up analysis of volume data and an example topology database of the human body. By using a two-step gra...

Wavelet-based hybrid multilinear models for multidimensional image approximation
The wavelet transform hierarchically decomposes images with prescribed bases, while multilineal models search for optimal bases to adapt visual data. In this paper, we integrate t...
