Cardiovascular interventions in the region of the aortic isthmus such as stent-grafting and vessel transposition introduce substantial changes in the deformation properties of the affected vessels. The changes play a fundamental role in the long-term prognosis for any such treatment, but are only poorly understood to date. We explore a fully automated method to quantify the deformation patterns of the thoracic aorta in gated computed tomography sequences. The aorta is segmented by a level set approach that accurately identifies the vessel lumen in each frame of the sequence. Consequently, landmarks on the vessel wall in each frame are registered using a probabilistic method. This allows for the measurement of global and local deformation properties. We evaluate our method on synthetic datasets and report first results of its application on real world data.

We present a novel method for 3D face recognition, in which the 3D facial surface is first mapped into a 2D domain with specified resolution through a global optimization by constrained conformal geometric maps. The Intrinsic Shape Description Map (ISDM) is then constructed through a modeling technique capable to express geometric and appearance information of the 3D face. Hence the 3D surface matching problem can be simplified to a 2D image matching problem, which greatly reduces the computational complexity. Finally, the Intrinsic Shape Description Feature (ISDF) of ISDM and the discrimination analysis can be calculated. Experimental results implemented on GavabDB demonstrate that our proposed method significantly outperforms the existing methods with respect to pose variation.

This paper presents a threshold-free maximum a posteriori (MAP) super resolution (SR) algorithm to reconstruct high resolution (HR) images with sharp edges. The joint distribution of directional edge images is modeled as a multidimensional Lorentzian (MDL) function and regarded as a new image prior. This model makes full use of gradient information to restrict the solution space and yields an edge-preserving SR algorithm. The Lorentzian parameters in the cost function are replaced with a tunable variable, and graduated nonconvexity (GNC) optimization is used to guarantee that the proposed multidimensional Lorentzian SR (MDLSR) algorithm converges to the global minimum. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the MDLSR algorithm as well as its superiority over conventional SR methods.
