چکیده

Statistical shape models are powerful tools for model-based segmentation and have been successfully applied to the segmentation of various structures in medical images. Though the segmentation algorithms based on statistical shape models are simple, finding corresponding landmarks for the construction of the models is a challenging optimisation task. State-of-the-art algorithms that solve the correspondence problem require a representation of the training shapes in a suitable parameter space. The mapping of a shape to a parameter space can introduce large area distortions so that simple sampling techniques can not reconstruct the original shapes sufficiently well. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to construct area preserving parameterisations of shapes with spherical topology. Using our approach, good reconstructions of the original shapes can be achieved by uniform sampling. In contrast to previously published methods that use a black box optimisation approach, we exploit knowledge about the shortcomings of initial parameterisations.

Propagation of Shape Parameterisation for the Construction of a Statistical Shape Model of the Left Ventricle

Statistical Shape Models (SSMs) have been successfully applied to both segmentation and the description of the dynamic behaviour of the heart. SSMs are learned from a set of training examples, which are represented by vectors of corresponding landmarks. While the construction of a SSM is simple when a landmark representation of the training shapes is available, the extraction of corresponding l...

A Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds

Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...

Deposition of Various Shapes Particles on a Rough Surface in Turbulent Flow

An experiment set-up is used to study wall deposition rate of particles on a rough surface in a turbulent channel flow. Deposition velocities for three classes of particles, namely, spherical glass particles, irregular shape polymer particles, and fibrous silicon particles are studied. The particle concentration at the test section was measured with the aid of an isokinetic probe in conjunction...

Discrete topology on N-dimensional square tessellated grids

Topology preservation and detection is a well known concept in the processing of 2and 3-dimensional binary images. These images can be considered as sets that are mapped on square tessellated (hyper cubic) grids. This paper describes how the formalisms derived for 2D and 3D images can be expanded to N-dimensional images, i.e. binary point sets that are aligned on an N-dimensional square tessell...

ACS Algorithms for Complex Shapes with Certified Numerics and Topology Spherical approximation of convex shapes

Given points in convex position in three dimensions, we want to find an approximating convex surface consisting of spherical patches, such that all points are within some specified tolerance bound ε of the approximating surface. We describe a greedy algorithm which constructs an approximating surface whose spherical patches are associated to the faces of an inscribed polytope formed from a subs...
