چکیده
Common elastic registration schemes based on landmarks and radial basis functions (RBFs) such as thin-plate splines or multiquadrics are global. Here, we introduce radial basis functions with compact support for elastic registration of medical images which have an improved locality, i.e. which allow to constrain elastic deformations to image parts where required. We give the theoretical background of these basis functions and compare them with other basis functions w.r.t. locality, solvability, and efficiency. A detailed comparison with the Gaussian as well as conditions for preserving topology is given. An important property of the used RBFs (Wendland’s c-functions) is that they are positive definite. Therefore, in comparison to the use of the truncated Gaussian, the solvability of the resulting system of equations is always guaranteed. We demonstrate the applicability of our approach for synthetic as well as for 2D and 3D tomographic images. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Knowledge of the position and orientation of 3D planes that exist in a scene is very important for many machine vision-based tasks, such as navigation, self-localization and docking. In this paper we propose two iterative methods for robustly computing the plane parameters out of given image sequences. Both methods include the (limited) ability to determine unknown parameters of the 3D-camera m...
متن کاملFast head modeling for animation
This paper describes an efficient method to make individual faces for animation from several possible inputs. We present a method to reconstruct 3D facial model for animation from two orthogonal pictures taken from front and side views or from range data obtained from any available resources. It is based on extracting features on a face in a semiautomatic way and modifying a generic model with ...
متن کاملGenetic algorithm based feature selection for target detection in SAR images
A genetic algorithm (GA) approach is presented to select a set of features to discriminate the targets from the natural clutter false alarms in SAR images. Four stages of an automatic target detection system are developed: the rough target detection, feature extraction from the potential target regions, GA based feature selection and the final Bayesian classification. A new fitness function bas...
