Manual for Fitting S-reps and Computing Shape Statistics via S-reps
نویسنده
چکیده
S-reps are form of skeletal representation that capture the interior of an object in a way that a) provides an object-related coordinate system for the points in the object interior and near exterior; b) supports statistics on object geometry. This document teaches 1) What the s-rep computer representation is. 2) How to prepare object descriptions implying an object boundary for being fit by an s-rep. 3) How to fit s-reps to an individual object description. 4) How to fit s-reps to a collection of object descriptions so that the fits correspond in regard to their interior points. 5) How to generate a probability distribution on object geometry from a collection of corresponding s-reps. 6) How to generate a classification from two classes of training s-reps. 7) How to classify a new s-rep given the classification generated in method #6. 8) How to test hypotheses on differences between s-rep features from two classes.

Multi-figure Anatomical Objects for Shape Statistics
Multi-figure m-reps allow us to represent and analyze a complex anatomical object by its parts, by relations among its parts, and by the object itself as a whole entity. This representation also enables us to gather either global or hierarchical statistics from a population of such objects. We propose a framework to train the statistics of multi-figure anatomical objects from real patient data....
متن کاملDeformable Solid Modeling using Sampled Medial Surfaces: A Multiscale Approach Technical Report TR00-005
We introduce a multiscale approach to modeling and rendering deformable solid objects, replacing polygonal or spline-based B-reps with a medial representation (M-rep) based on hierarchically linked, discretely sampled medial figures. Each medial figure is a widthproportionally sampled medial surface which implies object boundaries within a width-proportional tolerance; boundary variations withi...
متن کاملIntrusive Images in Psychological Disorders
Involuntary images and visual memories are prominent in many types of psychopathology. Patients with posttraumatic stress disorder, other anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, and psychosis frequently report repeated visual intrusions corresponding to a small number of real or imaginary events, usually extremely vivid, detailed, and with highly distressing content. Both memory and im...
متن کاملScalable reputation management with trustworthy user selection for P2P MMOGs
Networked virtual environments (NVEs) such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) have become very popular in recent years. However, existing client-server architectures suffer from resource constrains when the number of concurrent users increases. Research on peer-to-peer networked virtual environments (P2P NVEs) thus tries to find more scalable and affordable methods via the resource s...
متن کاملNon-Euclidean classification of medically imaged objects via s-reps
Classifying medically imaged objects, e.g., into diseased and normal classes, has been one of the important goals in medical imaging. We propose a novel classification scheme that uses a skeletal representation to provide rich non-Euclidean geometric object properties. Our statistical method combines distance weighted discrimination (DWD) with a carefully chosen Euclideanization which takes ful...
