This study aims at renewing traditional dialectological atlases to provide amapping of pronunciation variants by using crowdsourcing. Based on French spoken in France, Belgium and Switzerland, it focuses on mid vowels whose quality may be open or close and shibboleths such as final consonants which may be maintained or deleted, as a function of speakers’ background. Over 1000 subjects completed...

Longitudinal atlas construction is a challenging task in medical image analysis. Given a set of longitudinal images of different subjects, the task is how to construct the unbias longitudinal atlas sequence reflecting the anatomical changes over time. In this paper, a novel longitudinal atlas construction framework is proposed. The main contributions of the proposed method lie in the following ...

The Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas provides a cellular-resolution map of gene expression in the developing mouse brain from the embryo to the young adult. To provide a neuroanatomical framework for expression data, reference atlases for the Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas were created with the expertise of Professor Luis Puelles, M.D., Ph.D. (University of Murcia, Spain). Sagittal full-c...

Background: One of the challenges of PET/MRI combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the PET image. For that, the pseudo-CT image could be used to correct the attenuation. Until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-CT image using the registration techniques. However, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...

The Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas provides a cellular-resolution map of gene expression in the developing mouse brain from the embryo to the young adult. To provide a novel neuroanatomical framework based on genoarchitectonic data, the Allen Developing Mouse Brain Reference Atlas was created with the expertise of Professor Luis Puelles, MD, PhD (University of Murcia, Spain). Sagittal full-...

Probabilistic atlas has broad applications in medical image segmentation and registration. The most common problem building a probabilistic atlas is picking a target image upon which to map the rest of the training images. Here we present a method to choose a target image that is the closest to the mean geometry of the population under consideration as determined by bending energy. Our approach...

Monitored Drift Tube (MDT) chambers will constitute the large majority of precision detectors in the Muon Spectrometer of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. For commissioning and calibration of MDT chambers, a Cosmic Ray Measurement Facility is in operation at Munich University. The objectives of this facility are to test the chambers and on-chamber electronics, to map t...

This paper presents the Digital Atlas of Portuguese America (Atlas Digital da América Portuguesa), a project that produces an interactive map of South America claimed by the Portuguese between 1500 and 1808, giving a detailed account on the development and structure of this digital cartographic platform. The paper narrates the stages that the project went through and details the structure of in...
