Track Finding with Deformable Templates - The Elastic Arms
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel algorithm for particle tracking is presented and evaluated. It is based on deformable templates that converge using a deterministic annealing algorithm. These deformable templates are initialized by Hough transforms. The algorithm, which eeectively represents a merger between neuronic decision making and parameter tting, naturally lends itself to parallel execution. Very good performance is obtained for both non-magnetic and magnetic tracks. For the latter simulated TPC tracks from the CERN DELPHI detector are used.

Extensions and Explorations of the Elastic Arms Algorithm
The deformable templates method for track nding in high energy physics is reviewed and extended to handle multiple and secondary vertex positions. An automatized minimization method that handles diierent types of parametrizations is derived. It is based on the gradient descent method but modiied with an explicit calculation of the natural metric. Also a simpliied and more intuitive derivation o...
متن کاملDeformable Templates for Plaque Thickness Estimation of Intravascular Ultrasound Sequences∗
Deformable Template models are first applied to estimate the wall of coronary arteries in intravascular ultrasound sequences. Two circular templates (inner and outer) are used to localise and track an image zone that contains the atheroma plaque. Moreover robust wall thickness estimations are derived from this analysis.
متن کاملDeformable Object Tracking Using the Boundary Element Method
This paper presents a method to perform 2D deformable object tracking using the boundary element method (BEM). BEM, like the finite element method (FEM), is a technique to model an elastic solid. BEM differs from FEM in that only the contour of an object needs to be meshed for BEM, making this method attractive for computer vision problems. For FEM, the interior of the object must be meshed als...
متن کاملNumerical free vibration analysis of higher-order shear deformable beams resting on two-parameter elastic foundation
Free vibration analysis of higher-order shear deformation beam resting on one- and two-parameter elasticfoundation is studied using differential transform method (DTM) as a part of a calculation procedure. First,the governing differential equations of beam are derived in a general form considering the shear-freeboundary conditions (zero shear stress conditions at the top and bottom of a beam). ...
متن کاملDeformable Templates for Tracking and Analysis of Intravascular Ultrasound Sequences
Deformable Template models are first applied to track the inner wall of coronary arteries in intravascular ultrasound sequences, mainly in the assistance to angioplasty surgery. A circular template is used for initializing an elliptical deformable model to track wall deformation when inflating a balloon placed at the tip of the catheter. We define a new energy function for driving the behavior ...
