Constructing 2D Curve Atlases
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach to computing a curve atlas based on deriving a correspondence between two curves. This correspondence is based on a notion of an alignment curve and on a measure of similarity between the intrinsic properties of the curve, namely, length and curvature. The optimal correspondence is found by an efficient dynamicprogramming method. This is then used to compute an average for a set of curves and applied to computing the averages of bone shapes and corpus callosum as examples, towards constructing a computational atlas. The proposed notion of alignment also leads to a registration method, which is illustrated with several examples.

Notes on: Currents for curve and surface matching
There is a need for registration algorithms to compare functional data, to compute distances between healthy and disease anatomies, and to build probabilistic atlases between the healthy and disease groups. To do this, medical images can be directly processed via 2d or 3d image matching, or after segmentation: extraction of some features points, curves or surfaces of interest. In this case, the...
متن کاملAn Efficient Virtual Dissection Tool to Create Generic Models for Anatomical Atlases
We have developed an efficient virtual dissection tool to create generic 3D models for anatomical atlases without the need for artistic drawings. Our custom-developed tool can be used to extract 3D models from 2D medical image stacks, cut the models and align the sub-models. Corresponding 2D medical image portions of the sub-models can then be registered and averaged. In the end, a generic mode...
متن کاملFrom Flatland to Spaceland - Concepts for Interactive 3D Navigation in High Standard Atlases
Moving from flatland to spaceland”, this phrase aims at a development in atlas cartography, which represents a move from 2D maps to 3D representations. Navigation thus becomes a central feature of interaction. The concept of ‘3D thinking’ in interactive atlas navigation results in user-friendly solutions, which allows for a smooth shift between 2D and 3D maps and for easy 3D navigation with no ...
متن کاملSegmentation of 3D CT Volume Images Using a Single 2D Atlas
Segmentation of medical images is an important first step in the analysis of medical images. A lot of research has been performed on the segmentation of complex CT/MR images using the atlas-based approach. Most existing methods use 3D atlases which are more complex and difficult to control than 2D atlases. They have been applied mostly for the segmentation of brain images. This paper presents a...
متن کاملCartography Meets Gaming: Navigating Globes, Block Diagrams and 2D Maps with Gamepads and Joysticks
Gamepads and joysticks have the potential to improve spatial navigation in virtual globes, block diagrams and 2D maps. Digital school atlases, in particular, can become more engaging if support for gamepads and joysticks is added, as children and adolescents are very proficient at using these devices. The fusion of gaming devices and interactive school atlases offers interesting new use cases: ...
