Curve-skeletons are thinned 1D representations of 3D objects useful for many visualization
tasks including virtual navigation, reduced-model formulation, visualization improvement …

The eikonal equation and variants of it are of significant interest for problems in computer
vision and image processing. It is the basis for continuous versions of mathematical …

Object oriented data analysis is the statistical analysis of populations of complex objects. In
the special case of functional data analysis, these data objects are curves, where standard …

This paper presents an approach to automatically segment and partition the spinal column
from routine 5 mm chest and/or abdominal CT images. The segmented spinal column has …

In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) research, significant attention has been paid to the
analysis of the hippocampus (HC) within the medial temporal lobe because of its importance …

The medial surface of a volumetric object is of significant interest for shape analysis.
However, its numerical computation can be subtle. Methods based on Voronoi techniques …

An image is digitized to convert it to a form which can be stored in a computer's memory or
on some form of storage media such as a hard disk or CD-ROM. Once the image has been …

Today the design of custom in-the-ear hearing aids is based on personal experience and
skills and not on a systematic description of the variation of the shape of the ear canal. In this …

The covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES) has been successfully used
to minimize functionals on vector spaces. We generalize the concept of the CMA-ES to …

Our research focuses on anatomical atlases and medical image registration. Anatomical
atlases are useful tools to study human anatomical structures and diagnose abnormal …
