SUMMARY In this paper, the recent developments on distributed coordination control, especially the consensus and formation control, are summarized with the graph theory playing a central role, in order to present a cohesive overview of the multi-agent distributed coordination control, together with brief reviews of some closely related issues including rendezvous/alignment, swarming/flocking an...

We present Calipso, an interactive method for editing images and videos in a physically-coherent manner. Our main idea is to realize physics-based manipulations by running a full physics simulation on proxy geometries given by non-rigidly aligned CAD models. Running these simulations allows us to apply new, unseen forces to move or deform selected objects, change physical parameters such as mas...

Most approaches for protein structure alignment start from a search for similar fragments since this local similarity is necessary to the alignment even though is insufficient. In contrary to the sequence alignment, any insignificant trial alignment for structures can be detected by structure superposition and then excluded. It is then practicable to select from locally similar fragments those ...

This Demo presents a framework for the live synchronization of an RDF view defined on top of relational database. In the proposed framework, rules are responsible for computing and publishing the changeset required for the RDB-RDF view to stay synchronized with the relational database. The computed changesets are then used for the incremental maintenance of the RDB_RDF views as well as applicat...

Abstract. Image registration is widely used in live cell microscopy image analysis to compensate for the motion. It a challenging task as not only moving (which causes rotation and translation), but also changes its form time making motion non-rigid. To address this, we propose CNN-based unsupervised method non-rigid of sequences. Our network predicts both deformation field between pair images ...

BACKGROUND Although systems of 3-dimensional image-guided surgery are a valuable adjunct across numerous procedures, differences in organ shape between that reflected in the preoperative image data and the intraoperative state can compromise the fidelity of such guidance based on the image. In this work, we assessed in real time a novel, 3-dimensional image-guided operation platform that incorp...

Computational anatomy allows the quantitative analysis of organs in medical images. However, most analysis is constrained to the millimeter scale because of the limited resolution of clinical computed tomography (CT). X-ray microtomography (μCT) on the other hand allows imaging of ex-vivo tissues at a resolution of tens of microns. In this work, we use clinical CT to image lung cancer patients ...

In this paper we assess rigid body co-registration in terms of residual motion artifacts for the different correlation approaches used in fMRI. We summarise, from a statistical perspective, the three main approaches to parametric fMRI analysis and then present a new way of visualising motion effects in correlation analysis. This technique can be used both to select regions of relatively unambig...

We present a design methodology and manufacturing process for the construction of articulated three-dimensional microstructures with features on the micron to centimeter scale. Flexure mechanisms and assembly folds result from the bulk machining and lamination of alternating rigid and compliant layers, similar to rigid-flex printed circuit board construction. Pop-up books and other forms of pap...

One of the major problems facing medical imaging is the presence of geometric distortions inherent in an imaging technique. Image registration techniques are often used to correct for such geometric perturbations. Recently, it was proposed that the SSD cost function can be evaluated efficiently using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to determine the optimal translation between two images. Howev...
