Fiber Bundle Estimation and Parameterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Individual white matter fibers cannot be resolved by current magnetic resonance (MR) technology. Many fibers of a fiber bundle will pass through an individual volume element (voxel). Individual visualized fiber tracts are thus the result of interpolation on a relatively coarse voxel grid, and an infinite number of them may be generated in a given volume by interpolation. This paper aims at creating a level set representation of a fiber bundle to describe this apparent continuum of fibers. It further introduces a coordinate system warped to the fiber bundle geometry, allowing for the definition of geometrically meaningful fiber bundle measures.

Fiber bundles and Lie algebras of top spaces
In this paper, by using of Frobenius theorem a relation between Lie subalgebras of the Lie algebra of a top space T and Lie subgroups of T(as a Lie group) is determined. As a result we can consider these spaces by their Lie algebras. We show that a top space with the finite number of identity elements is a C^{∞} principal fiber bundle, by this method we can characterize top spaces.
متن کاملMinimizing Image Reprojection Error For Relative Scale Estimation In Visual Odometry
In this paper we address the problem of visual motion estimation (visual odometry) from a single vehicle mounted camera. One of the basic issues of visual odometry is relative scale estimation. We propose a method to compute locally optimal relative scales by minimizing the reprojection error using windowed bundle adjustment. We introduce a minimal parameterization of the bundle adjustment prob...
متن کاملEffective Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposites Reinforced With Carbon Nanotubes Bundle
Nanocomposites made of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) bundles have attracted researchers’ attention due to their unusual properties such as: light weight, flexibility and stiffness. In this paper, the effects of straight and rope-shaped bundles on nanocomposite effective mechanical properties are investigated. First, FEA models are created consisting of CNTs with different shapes of straight and rope-...
متن کاملGeneralized Lambda Distribution and its Properties
Generalized Lambda Distribution is an extension of Tukey's lambda distribution, that is very flexible in modeling information and statistical data. In this paper, We introduced two parameterization of this distribution. Then We estimate parameters by moment matching, percentile, starship and maximum likelihood methods and compare two parameterization and parameter estimation method...
