Instantiation and registration of statistical shape models of the femur and pelvis using 3D ultrasound imaging.

TLDR
Despite limitations on the regions of bone accessible using US imaging, this technique has potential as a cost-effective and non-invasive method to enable surgical navigation during CAOS procedures, without the additional radiation dose associated with performing a preoperative CT scan or intraoperative fluoroscopic imaging.

Ultrasound confidence maps using random walks.

TL;DR: This work introduces a method for estimating a per-pixel confidence in the information depicted by ultrasound images, referred to as an ultrasound confidence map, which emphasizes uncertainty in attenuated and/or shadow regions, within a random walks framework by taking into account ultrasound specific constraints.

Statistical modelling of the whole human femur incorporating geometric and material properties

TL;DR: This study illustrates a methodology with the potential to generate femur models incorporating material properties for large scale multi-femur finite element studies, and a registration scheme based on elastic surface matching and a mesh morphing algorithm has been developed.

Marching cubes: A high resolution 3D surface construction algorithm

TL;DR: In this paper, a divide-and-conquer approach is used to generate inter-slice connectivity, and then a case table is created to define triangle topology using linear interpolation.

Independent component analysis: algorithms and applications

TL;DR: The basic theory and applications of ICA are presented, and the goal is to find a linear representation of non-Gaussian data so that the components are statistically independent, or as independent as possible.

Active shape models—their training and application

TL;DR: This work describes a method for building models by learning patterns of variability from a training set of correctly annotated images that can be used for image search in an iterative refinement algorithm analogous to that employed by Active Contour Models (Snakes).
Journal ArticleDOI

Active appearance models

Abstract: We describe a new method of matching statistical models of appearance to images. A set of model parameters control modes of shape and gray-level variation learned from a training set. We construct an efficient iterative matching algorithm by learning the relationship between perturbations in the model parameters and the induced image errors.
