This paper presents a cooperative strategy between volumetric registration and segmentation. The segmentation method is based on the level set formalism. Starting from an initial position, a closed 3D surface propagates towards the desired boundaries through the evolution of a 4-D implicit function. We show that the number of iterations required for convergence is significantly reduced by using...

This paper aims to develop a fuzzy dynamic programming approach formultiobjectivemultistage decisionmaking problems. Fuzzy dynamic programming usually convert the problems into corresponding single objective problems by an aggregate of hybrid objective values that expresses the performance of the particular stage decision. Weightassessment is an important problem arising from the evaluation of ...
