Classifying Brain Shapes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Brain shapes do not necessarily form a continuum in some descriptor space, but may form clusters related to pre-determined genetical factors or acquired diseases. As a feasibility study for introducing a suitable descriptor space, the use of modal analysis was tested on a large brain database acquired in healthy young subjects. Significant shape differences due to gender were found, and intra-gender clusters were determined.

Algorithms for classifying and constructingthe boundary of a shape
This paper continues with the subject matter that we introduced previously (Krishnamurti and Stouffs, 2004). Here, we describe algorithms for classifying the boundary of a shape with respect to another, coequal, shape and for constructing the description of a shape given parts of the boundary that make up the shape. Specifically, algorithms for classification and construction of shapes in U23 (...
متن کاملBayesian hierarchical modeling of simply connected 2D shapes
Models for distributions of shapes contained within images can be widely used in biomedical applications ranging from tumor segmentation for targeted radiation therapy to classifying cells in a blood sample. Our focus is on hierarchical probability models of shape and size, described using 2D closed curves. Prevalent methods for analyzing a population of shapes assume that each shape is already...
متن کاملAnalyzing Visual Semantic Processing and Recognizing the Shape Changes in Video
How does the brain work? How do we recognize things? These are one of the few mystery of the world which has bothered the cognitive researchers for years and continue to haunt them. In this project, we try to analyze the visual semantic processing of the objects of different shapes in the brain. We show the people videos with changing shapes and analyze their brain signals to see the effects of...
متن کاملObject Segmentation and Classification using Multiple Shape Models from an image sequence
A method of segmenting, classifying the multiple shapes from an image sequence is presented. This paper presents the segmentation framework that allows multiple shapes to be segmented simultaneously in a seamless fashion. Shape models (SMs), contains features of a set of training shapes, represent a new object present in the image. It is based on clustering a set of training shapes in the origi...
متن کاملCSF and Brain Structural Imaging Markers of the Alzheimer's Pathological Cascade
Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and structural imaging markers are suggested as biomarkers amended to existing diagnostic criteria of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). But there is no clear instruction on which markers should be used at which stage of dementia. This study aimed to first investigate associations of the CSF markers as well as volumes and shapes of the hipp...
