Image moments have been widely used for designing robust shape descriptors that are invariant to rigid transformations. In this work, we address the problem of estimating non-rigid deformation fields based on image moment variations. By using a single family of polynomials to both parameterize the deformation field and to define image moments, we can represent image moments variation as a system o...Show More
This paper addresses the problem of 3D reconstruction of nonrigid objects from uncalibrated image sequences. Under the assumption of affine camera and that the nonrigid object is composed of a rigid part and a deformation part, we propose a stratification approach to recover the structure of nonrigid objects by first reconstructing the structure in affine space and then upgrading it to the Euclide...Show More
The registration of time-varying 3D shapes with high degrees of freedom remains a challenging task. Most existing techniques attempt to address this issue by solving an optimization problem defined on deformation graph with as-rigid-as-possible smoothness prior, which usually struggle to capture large scale displacements. Motivated by the insight that a set of points tends to collectively undergo ...Show More
Detecting defects in printed circuit boards (PCBs) is essential to guarantee their reliability and functionality in industrial applications. Recently, automatic optical inspection (AOI) systems equipped with machine vision technologies have been increasingly used to identify defects in PCBs. Nevertheless, images captured by AOI systems frequently exhibit nonrigid deformations due to movement and v...Show More
This paper presents and validates a low-dimensional nonrigid registration method for fusing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) in image-guided prostate biopsy. Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men in the United States. Conventional clinical practice uses TRUS to guide prostate biops...Show More
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has proven to be useful for online anatomical imaging during catheterization. Our objective was to develop a speckle tracking method for myocardial motion estimation from ICE image sequences in order to provide a mean for regional functional imaging. Our approach was to solve two problems in motion estimation from 2-D ICE image sequences: nonrigid myocardial def...Show More
Multimodal remote sensing image registration aims to achieve alignment between different modal image pairs. This effectively enhances the subsequent effects of multisource data fusion, object detection and recognition, and provides support for geographic spatial analysis and applications. Most existing approaches for multimodal remote sensing image registration are targeted at registering rigid tr...Show More
Residual map-based defect detection methods have been widely concerned in the field of prints, because of their superiority in detecting defects of arbitrary shapes and extreme aspect ratios by taking advantage of pixel-level comparison, especially in detecting the tiny defects. However, residual map-based methods require extremely high structural similarity between images, so it is important to e...Show More
This letter presents an image deformation method based on Moving Regularized Least Squares optimization. The user controls the deformation by simply choosing a set of point handles in the input image, and also the target positions that the source point handles should be deformed to. The deformation function in our method is nonrigid and specified in a functional space, more specifically a reproduc...Show More
Multimodal image registration is a great challenge in medical imaging which requires to aligning anatomically identical structures. Their appearance in images acquired with different multimodality images may be very different. In order to realize fast, precise and robust image registration, we proposed a new multimodal medical registration method, which is based on free-form deformation (FFD) and ...Show More
This paper solves the problem of nonrigid deformation based on labeled and unlabeled feature points between two images or surfaces. The principle is to obtain the labeled deformation control point pairs on the correspondence images and the unlabeled feature control points in the source image, and estimate the deformation function between the deformation control point pairs for each pixel or voxel....Show More
This article is devoted to investigation of the effectiveness of a method for automatic correction of the control program (ACCP) in practice to compensate for the elastic deformations occurring in turning nonrigid shafts. The relevance of the research is justified by a wide prevalence of this tool type in mechanical engineering, as well as the by the peculiarities of their turning at the modern CN...Show More
Incorporating biomedical information into nonrigid image registration is an important approach to improve the registration quality and provide realistic results. However, previous tissue-dependent deformation field filtering incur a relatively high computation cost in order to obtain results of improved quality. In this paper, we propose a collapsed-cone based adaptive filtering method to reduce t...Show More
Nonrigid deformation is a fundamental feature in face recognition. The proposed method extracts nonrigid deformation by finding the mapping between two shapes. To improve registration accuracy, it integrates geometric shape decomposition and nonrigid point-set registration. On the basis of manifold harmonics, the method first decomposes shapes into low-frequency and high-frequency parts. Then, it ...Show More
Three-dimensional detection and shape recovery of a nonrigid surface from video sequences require deformation models to effectively take advantage of potentially noisy image data. Here, we introduce an approach to creating such models for deformable 3D surfaces. We exploit the fact that the shape of an inextensible triangulated mesh can be parameterized in terms of a small subset of the angles bet...Show More
In this paper, a method for 3D non-rigid motion estimation of a surface using an RGB-D camera in eye-in-hand configuration is presented. The eye-in-hand configuration eliminates errors typically associated with camera-end-effector calibration, and is thus desirable for task on moving surfaces such as bioprinting. However, its implementation is challenging since camera and surface of interest are m...Show More
Accurate assessment of spinal cord vasculature is important for the urgent diagnosis of injury and subsequent treatment. Ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) offers super-resolution imaging of microvasculature by localizing and tracking individual microbubbles (MBs) across multiple frames. However, a long data acquisition often involves significant motion artifacts caused by breathing and hear...Show More
Nonrigid medical image registration is a key technology for clinical disease diagnosis by integrating the vital information taken from input images acquired using multiple imaging sensors. Recently, transformer networks have attracted attention in image registration, but splitting images into patches remains a problem. Although there are usually multiple structural regions with different sizes and...Show More
Microwave ablation (MWA) is a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of liver tumor. Accumulating clinical evidence has considered the minimal ablative margin (MAM) as a significant predictor of local tumor progression (LTP). In clinical practice, MAM assessment is typically carried out through image registration of pre- and post-MWA images. However, this process faces two main challenges:...Show More
We propose a nonrigid registration method whose motion estimation is cast into a feature matching problem under the Log-Demons framework using Graph Wavelets. We investigate the Spectral Graph Wavelets (SGWs) to capture the shape features of the images. The SGWs are more adapted to learn the spatial and geometric organization of data with complex structures than the classical wavelets. Our experim...Show More
Nonrigid image registrations require a large number of degrees of freedom (DoFs) to capture intersubject anatomical variations. With such high DoFs and lack of anatomical correspondences, algorithms may not converge to the globally optimal solution. In this work, we propose a fast, two-step nonrigid registration procedure with low DoFs to accurately register brain images. Our method makes use of a...Show More
In this paper, we present an approach for creating animatable 3D models from temporal monocular image acquisitions of non-rigid objects. During deformation, the object of interest is captured with only a single camera under full perspective projection. The aim of the presented framework is to obtain a shape deformation model in terms of joints and skinning weights that can finally be used for anim...Show More
In this paper, we present a fusion approach to solve the nonrigid shape recovery problem, which takes advantage of both the appearance information and the local features. We have two major contributions. First, we propose a novel progressive finite Newton optimization scheme for the feature-based nonrigid surface detection problem, which is reduced to only solving a set of linear equations. The ke...Show More

First, from the template and deformed images, the DoG detector and SIFT descriptor are used to extract and describe the feature points. Then use the covariance of neighborhood feature statistics computed inside a region...Show More
