The Cellular Potts Model (CPM) is a cellular automaton (CA) allowing to model the morphogenesis of living cells. It characterizes a cell by its volume, surface and type. The CPM has already been used to simulate several models of cell selforganization. However, the cell shape is under-constraint i.e. it does not implies a unique shape. We propose a definition and an implementation of the cell s...

in this work, a direct design approach for designing a surface shape (inverse design problem) has been developed, in which both the target surface pressure and the unknown nodal coordinates appear explicitly in the formulations. the final discretized form of the governing equations (unified formulation) can be used for both analysis and shape design problems. in this work, shape design problems...

We propose a new integrated target tracking, recognition and segmentation algorithm, called ATR-Seg, for infrared imagery. ATR-Seg is formulated in a probabilistic shape-aware level set framework that incorporates a joint view-identity manifold (JVIM) for target shape modeling. As a shape generative model, JVIM features a unified manifold structure in the latent space that is embedded with one ...

UWB (ultra wide-band) pulse radar is a promising candidate for surveillance systems. The fast SEABED (Shape Estimation Algorithm based on BST and Extraction of Directly scattered waves) imaging algorithm is deployed in the application of UWB pulse radar in fields that require real-time operations. However, since the SEABED algorithm uses signals received at multiple locations, this method eithe...

Carbon-ion therapy by layer-stacking irradiation for static targets has been practised in clinical treatments. In order to apply this technique to a moving target, disturbances of carbon-ion dose distributions due to respiratory motion have been studied based on the measurement using a respiratory motion phantom, and the margin estimation given by the square root of the summation Internal margi...
