One of the most important and challenging tasks in bio-medical image analysis is the localization, identification, and discrimination of salient objects or structures. While to date human experts are performing these tasks manually at the expense of time and reliability, methods for automation of these processes are evidently called for. This paper outlines a novel technique for geometric clust...

This paper proposes a new method for understanding the structure of populations of complex objects in the area of medical image analysis. The new methods require invention of approaches to the statistical analysis of a population of tree-structured objects. The approach is based on a metric in tree space. The metric provides a foundation for defining a notion of population center. In Functional...

Exploring and using anatomical shape properties plays an increasingly important role in many medical imaging and image processing applications, including structural analysis and modeling, medical image segmentation, image registration, computer aided diagnosis, tracking and longitudinal analysis, and medical navigation. For example, prior knowledge on the shape of interest has been used to achi...

Object Oriented Data Analysis is the statistical analysis of populations of complex objects. In the special case of Functional Data Analysis, these data objects are curves, where standard Euclidean approaches, such as principal components analysis, have been very successful. Recent developments in medical image analysis motivate the statistical analysis of populations of more complex data objec...

since the birth of multi–spectral imaging techniques, there has been a tendency to consider and process this new type of data as a set of parallel gray–scale images, instead of an ensemble of an n–d realization. although, even now, some researchers make the same assumption, it is proved that using vector geometries leads to better results. in this paper, first a method is proposed to extract th...

Within recent years the use of medical images for diagnosis purposes has become necessity. The limitation in transmission and storage space also growing size of medical images has necessitated the need for efficient method, then image Compression is required as an efficient way to reduces irrelevant and redundancy of the image data in order to be able to store or transmits data. It also reduces...

introduction: content based image retrieval (cbir) is a method of image searching and retrieval in a  database. in medical applications, cbir is a tool used by physicians to compare the previous and current  medical images associated with patients pathological conditions. as the volume of pictorial information  stored in medical image databases is in progress, efficient image indexing and retri...

This paper outlines some of the usage and applications for HPC in the medical image analysis field. As opposed to traditional HPC work that focuses on developing new optimization strategies and improving the implementation of existing environments, the work reported here is focussing strongly on the utilization of HPC technology (both commercial and public domain) in an application driven clini...

Medical image processing is the technique used to create images of the human body for medical purposes. Nowadays, medical image processing plays a major role and a challenging solution for the critical stage in the medical line. Several researches have done in this area to enhance the techniques for medical image processing. However, due to some demerits met by some advanced technologies, there...
