Multiresolution Signal Processing on Meshes for Automatic Pathological Shape Characterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method based on multiresolution signal processing on meshes to create a thickness atlas. We applied this method to construct an atlas of bladder wall thickness. Bladder cancer is associated with increased bladder wall thickness. A thickness atlas helps to detect abnormal thickening in the bladder wall. Extracting inner and outer surface meshes from segmented images, we compute the thickness on the inner surface and map it to a sphere. We average the thickness at each position on the sphere to create a thickness atlas. We then compute Zscore values on the configuration of the patient’s bladder to show regions of unusual thickness.

Wavelet Transformation
Wavelet transformation is one of the most practical mathematical transformations in the field of image processing, especially image and signal processing. Depending on the nature of the multiresolution analysis, Wavelet transformation become more accessible and powerful tools. In this paper, we refer to the mathematical foundations of this transformation. Introduction: The...
متن کاملMultiresolution Wavelet Representations for Arbitrary Meshes
Wavelets and multiresolution analysis are instrumental for developing ee-cient methods for representing, storing and manipulating functions at various levels of detail. Although alternative methods such as hierarchical quadtrees or pyramidal models have been used to that eeect as well, wavelets have picked up increasing popularity in recent years due to their energy compactness, ee-ciency, and ...

متن کاملMultiresolution Methods for Nonmanifold Models
The concept of fairing applied to triangular meshes with irregular connectivity has become more and more important. Previous contributions proposed a variety of fairing operators for manifolds and applied them to design multiresolution representations and editing tools for meshes. In this paper, we generalize these powerful techniques to handle non-manifold models. We propose a method to constr...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of Structure Preserving MultiresolutionModels
We are proposing a multiresolution representation which uses a subdivision surface as a smooth base surface with respect to which a high resolution mesh is defined by normal displacement. While this basic representation is quite straightforward, our actual contribution lies in the automatic generation of such a representation. Given a high resolution mesh, our algorithm is designed to derive a ...
