This thesis presents a computational framework for modelling the biomechanics of human
facial expressions. The expressive motions are formed by intricate interactions of muscles …

Training a shape prior has been potent scheme for anatomical object segmentations,
especially for images with noisy or weak intensity patterns. When the shape representation …

Both posterior optimization of deformable shape models and multiscale approaches have
been potent directions for segmentation. In this work these two concepts are united. It is …

This paper addresses the problem of describing the significant intra-and inter-variability of
3D deformable structures within 3D image data sets. In pursuing it, a 3D probabilistic …

Résumé En imagerie médicale, la robustesse de l'analyse et de la segmentation d'image est
améliorée grâce à l'utilisation de connaissances à priori. Les atlas anatomiques constituent …

Based on an effective statistical segmentation methodology using a deformable medial
model, a local scale deformation approach is developed to refine the global scale …
