NAISR: A 3D Neural Additive Model for Interpretable Shape Representation

Deep implicit functions (DIFs) have emerged as a powerful paradigm for many computer vision tasks such as 3D shape reconstruction, generation, registration, completion, editing, and understanding. However, given a set of 3D shapes with associated …

Shape Analysis

Analysis approaches to quantify shape differences.

Topology

Topological analysis approaches, with a recent focus on integrating deep learning with topology.

Image and Shape Analysis for Spatiotemporal Data

In analyzing brain development or identifying disease it is important to understand anatomical age-related changes and shape differences. Data for these studies is frequently spatiotemporal and collected from normal and/or abnormal subjects. However, …

Group Testing for Longitudinal Data

We consider how to test for group differences of shapes given longitudinal data. In particular, we are interested in differences of longitudinal models of each group’s subjects. We introduce a generalization of principal geodesic analysis to the …

Shape analysis based on depth-ordering

In this paper we propose a new method for shape analysis based on the ordering of shapes using band-depth. We use this band-depth to non-parametrically define a global depth for a shape with respect to a reference population, typically consisting of …

Depth-Based Shape-Analysis

In this paper we propose a new method for shape analysis based on the depth-ordering of shapes. We use this depth-ordering to non-parametrically define depth with respect to a normal control population. This allows us to quantify differences with …

Statistical atlas construction via weighted functional boxplots

Atlas-building from population data is widely used in medical imaging. However, the emphasis of atlas-building approaches is typically to estimate a spatial alignment to compute a mean / median shape or image based on population data. In this work, …

Time-Warped Geodesic Regression

We consider geodesic regression with parametric time-warps. This allows, for example, to capture saturation effects as typically observed during brain development or degeneration. While highly-flexible models to analyze time-varying image and shape …

A pediatric airway atlas and its application in subglottic stenosis

Young children with upper airway problems are at risk for hypoxia, respiratory insufficiency and long term morbidity. Computational models and quantitative analysis would reveal airway growth patterns and benefit clinical care. To capture expected …
