Deformable registration methods are widely used for the accurate registration of objects with largescale deformation. In this paper, we present a detail review on performance analysis of deformable registration methods. We comprehensively review each registration method and describe its features, advantages, issues and challenges. Deformable registration methods are further quantitatively compa...

Material property has great importance in deformable body simulation and medical robotics. The elasticity parameters, such as Young's modulus of the deformable bodies, are important to make realistic animations. Further in medical applications the (recovered) elasticity parameters can assist surgeons to perform better pre-op surgical planning and enable medical robots to carry out personalized ...

We introduce a new approach to medical image analysis that combines deformable model methodologies with concepts from the field of artificial life. In particular, we propose "deformable organisms", autonomous agents whose task is the automatic segmentation, labeling, and quantitative analysis of anatomical structures in medical images. Analogous to natural organisms capable of voluntary movemen...

In this paper, the interaction of our novel hyper-redundant haptic display ViSHaRD10 with virtual deformable objects is investigated. ViSHaRD10 has serial kinematic structure and 10 degrees of freedom. The work mainly represents benchmark tests for this novel display. Additionally it aims to create easy-to-use virtual deformable objects. Two different deformable objects were developed. The defo...

Dispatch optimization of the integrated energy system with multi-type storages, as an essential issue to optimum management, is a high-dimensional complex nonlinear problem time-series constraints. To overcome problem, new meta-heuristic method presented in this paper. The proposed introduces several heuristic rules, called maximum storage utilization and embeds them into adaptive GA improve qu...

We describe a method to obtain the fraction of poorly deformable red blood cells in a blood sample from the intensity pattern in an ektacytometer. In an ektacytometer red blood cells are transformed into ellipsoids by a shear flow between two transparent cylinders. The intensity pattern, due to a laser beam that is sent through the suspension, is projected on a screen. When measuring a healthy ...
