Robust Multimodal Dictionary Learning

We propose a robust multimodal dictionary learning method for multimodal images. Joint dictionary learning for both modalities may be impaired by lack of correspondence between image modalities in training data, for example due to areas of low …

Sparse Scale-Space Decomposition of Volume Changes in Deformations Fields

Anatomical changes like brain atrophy or growth are usually not homogeneous in space and across spatial scales, since they map differently depending on the anatomical structures. Thus, the accurate analysis of volume changes from medical images …

Studying Cerebral Vasculature Using Structure Proximity and Graph Kernels

An approach to study population differences in cerebral vasculature is proposed. This is done by 1) extending the concept of encoding cerebral blood vessel networks as spatial graphs and 2) quantifying graph similarity in a kernel-based discriminant …

Weighted Functional Boxplot with Application to Statistical Atlas Construction

Atlas-building from population data is widely used in medical imaging. However, the emphasis of atlas-building approaches is typically to compute a mean / median shape or image based on population data. In this work, we focus on the statistical …

Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Registration of Diffusion-Weighted Images

Registration of Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) data emerges as an important topic in magnetic resonance (MR) image analysis. As existing methods are often designed for specific diffusion models, it is difficult to fit to the registered data …

Longitudinal Image Registration with Non-uniform Appearance Change

Longitudinal imaging studies are frequently used to investigate temporal changes in brain morphology. Image intensity may also change over time, for example when studying brain maturation. However, such intensity changes are not accounted for in …

Metamorphic Geodesic Regression

We propose a metamorphic geodesic regression approach approximating spatial transformations for image time-series while simultaneously accounting for intensity changes. Such changes occur for example in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of the …

Spatio-temporal Image Analysis for Longitudinal and Time-Series Image Data - Second International Workshop, STIA 2012, Held in Conjunction with MICCAI 2012, Nice, France, October 1, 2012. Proceedings

Geodesic Regression for Image Time-Series

Registration of image-time series has so far been accomplished (i) by concatenating registrations between image pairs, (ii) by solving a joint estimation problem resulting in piecewise geodesic paths between image pairs, (iii) by kernel based local …

Geometric Metamorphosis

. Standard image registration methods do not account for changes in image appearance. Hence, metamorphosis approaches have been developed which jointly estimate a space deformation and a change in image appearance to construct a spatio-temporal …
