MOMS-based Programmable Sampling Rate Converters

Philippe Thévenaz

In this paper design options when implementing programmable sampling rate converters are discussed. The theory and performance of the classical and new converters based on maximum order and minimum support (MOMS) splines is presented. FPGA designs are show ...

Variational B-Spline Level-Set: A Linear Filtering Approach for Fast Deformable Model Evolution

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz, Olivier Bernard

In the field of image segmentation, most level-set-based active-contour approaches take advantage of a discrete representation of the associated implicit function. We present in this paper a different formulation where the implicit function is modeled as a ...

We construct parametric active contours (snakes) for outlining cells in histology images. These snakes are defined in terms of cubic B-spline basis functions. We use a steerable ridge detector for obtaining a reliable map of the cell boundaries. Using the ...

Snakuscules

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz

A snakuscule (a minuscule snake) is the simplest active contour that we were able to design while keeping the quintessence of traditional snakes: an energy term governed by the data, and a regularization term. Our construction is an area-based snake, as op ...

Elastic Image Registration of 2-D Gels for Differential and Repeatability Studies

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz

One of the main applications of electrophoretic 2-D gels is the analysis of differential responses between different conditions. For this reason, specific spots are present in one of the images, but not in the other. In some other occasions, the same exper ...

Halton Sampling for Image Registration Based on Mutual Information

Michel Bierlaire, Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz

Mutual information is a widely used similarity measure for aligning multimodal medical images. At its core it relies on the computation of a discrete joint histogram, which itself requires image samples for its estimation. In this paper we study the influe ...

BACKGROUND: Identification of embryos with high implantation potential remains a challenge in in vitro fertilization (IVF). Subjective pronuclear (PN) zygote scoring systems have been developed for that purpose. The aim of this work was to provide a softwa ...

Short basis functions for constant-variance interpolation - art. no. 69142L

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz, Thierry Blu

An interpolation model is a necessary ingredient of intensity-based registration methods. The properties of such a model depend entirely on its basis function, which has been traditionally characterized by features such as its order of approximation and it ...

Consistent And Regularized Magnification Of Images

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz, Aurélien Bourquard, Katarina Balac

Because more output data must be created than is available from the input, magnification is an III-posed problem. Traditional magnification relies on resampling an interpolation model at the appropriate rate; unfortunately, this simple solution is blind to ...

Variational B-Spline Level-Set Method for Fast Image Segmentation

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz

In the field of image segmentation, most of level-set-based active contour approaches are based on a discrete representation of the associated implicit function. We present in this paper a different formulation where the level-set is modelled as a continuo ...
