Active volume models with probabilistic object boundary prediction module,” MICCAI
, 2008
"... Abstract. We propose a novel Active Volume Model (AVM) which deforms in a free-form manner to minimize energy. Unlike Snakes and level-set active contours which only consider curves or surfaces, the AVM is a deforming object model that has both boundary and an interior area. When applied to object s ..."

Ecologically valid trials of elderly unobtrusive monitoring: analysis and first results
"... Abstract. Intelligent health monitoring systems of elderly have been around for several years now. Evaluation of sensor measurements and intelligent processing algorithms has been performed mainly in lab settings, prohibiting the collection of datasets that reflect real behavior of seniors. As a re ..."

Statistical analysis of sensor observations and clinical assessment tools revealed the monitoring added value of the sensors in an ecological
Training the Cognitive and Stylistic Aspects of Surgery Through Simulation
"... The education of a surgeon-in-training involves the acquisition of the sensorimotor skills necessary for performing surgical tasks as well as the refinement of the cognitive processes involved in performing a full procedure. While a number of existing surgical simulators have been developed to train ..."

It should also provide the user with feedback detailing the trainee’s weaknesses and how they can be improved. Materials and Methods We are developing a
Towards an Engineering Discipline for GRAMMARWARE
, 2003
"... Grammarware comprises grammars and all grammar-dependent software. The term grammar is meant here in the sense of all established grammar formalisms and grammar notations including context-free grammars, class dictionaries, XML schemas as well as some forms of tree and graph grammars. The term gramm ..."

Shape Registration in Implicit Spaces Using Information Theory and Free Form Deformations
- IEEE Trans. Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI
, 2006
"... We present a novel variational and statistical approach for shape registration. Shapes of interest are implicitly embedded in a higher dimensional space of distance transforms. In this implicit embedding space, registration is formulated in a hierarchical manner: the Mutual Information criterion s ..."

supports various transformation models and is optimized to perform global registration; then a B-spline based Incremental Free Form Deformations (IFFD) model is used to minimize a Sum-of-Squared-Differences (SSD) measure and further recover a dense local nonrigid registration field. The key advantage
A tour of the theory of absolutely minimizing functions
"... Abstract. These notes are intended to be a rather complete and self-contained exposition of the theory of absolutely minimizing Lipschitz extensions, presented in detail and in a form accessible to readers without any prior knowledge of the subject. In particular, we improve known results regarding ..."

. This elementary geometric device renders the theory versatile and transparent. A number of tools and issues routinely encountered in the theory of elliptic partial differential equations are illustrated here in an especially clean manner, free from burdensome technicalities- indeed, usually free from partial
Allocating memory in a lock-free manner

, 2009
"... The Web 2.0 fosters the creation of communities by offering users a wide array of social software tools. While the success of these tools is based on their ability to support different interaction patterns among users by imposing as few limitations as possible, the communities they support are not f ..."

In this paper we propose a framework for the sharing of best community practices in the form of a (potentially rule-based) annotation layer that can be integrated with existing Web 2
Dynamic NURBS with Geometric Constraints for Interactive Sculpting
, 1994
"... This article develops a dynamic generalization of the nonuniform rational B-spline (NURBS) model. NURBS have become a de facto standard in commercial modeling systems because of their power to represent free-form shapes as well as common analytic shapes. To date, however, they have been viewed as pu ..."

, 2009
"... In this paper, we show that several well-known nonlinear surface registration algorithms can be put in an ICP-like framework, and thus boil down to the successive estimation of point-to-point correspondences and of a transformation between the two surfaces. We propose to enrich the ICP-like criterio ..."

We illustrate the high added value of this new term on synthetic and real data. Index Terms — registration, mesh
