Nonrigid registration using free-form deformations: Application to breast MR images
- IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging
, 1999
"... Abstract — In this paper we present a new approach for the nonrigid registration of contrast-enhanced breast MRI. A hierarchical transformation model of the motion of the breast has been developed. The global motion of the breast is modeled by an affine transformation while the local breast motion i ..."

is described by a free-form deformation (FFD) based on B-splines. Normalized mutual information is used as a voxel-based similarity measure which is insensitive to intensity changes as a result of the contrast enhancement. Registration is achieved by minimizing a cost function, which represents a combination
registration
"... To make 3D scanning an attractive tool for incidental or inexperienced users, the process of scan view registration should be avoided or significantly simplified. If a 6 DoF sensor is attached to the object to be scanned, additional data about each of the 3D views can be supplied to the registration ..."

Data Gathering Algorithms in Sensor Networks Using Energy Metrics
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
, 2002
"... Sensor webs consisting of nodes with limited battery power and wireless communications are deployed to collect useful information from the field. Gathering sensed information in an energy efficient manner is critical to operating the sensor network for a long period of time. In [12], a data collecti ..."

-heads chosen to transmit to the base station, LEACH achieves a factor of 8 improvement compared to direct transmissions, as measured in terms of when nodes die. An improved version of LEACH, called LEACH-C, is presented in [14], where the central base station performs the clustering to improve energy
Matching 3D Models with Shape Distributions
, 2001
"... Measuring the similarity between 3D shapes is a fundamental problem, with applications in computer vision, molecular biology, computer graphics, and a variety of other fields. A challenging aspect of this problem is to find a suitable shape signature that can be constructed and compared quickly, whi ..."

Robust Registration of 2D and 3D Point Sets
, 2001
"... This paper introduces a new method of registering point sets. The registration error is directly minimized using general-purpose nonlinear optimization (the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm). The surprising conclusion of the paper is that this technique is comparable in speed to the special-purpose ICP ..."

Shape and motion from image streams: a factorization method - 2. point features in 3d motion.
, 1991
"... Abstract The factorization method described in this series of reports requires an algorithm to track the motion of features in an image stream. Given the small inter-frame displacement made possible by the factorization approach, the best tracking method turns out to be the one proposed by Lucas an ..."

intensities leads to a Newton-Raphson style minimization. In this report, after rederiving the method in a physically intuitive way, we answer the crucial question of how to choose the feature windows that are best suited for tracking. Our selection criterion is based directly on the definition
