Gait Phase Estimation in Steady Walking: A Comparative Study of Methods Based on the Phase Portrait of the Hip Angle

Mohamed Bouri, Auke Ijspeert, Davide Malatesta, Coline Lugaz, Ali Reza Manzoori, Tian Ye

Accurate real-time estimation of the gait phase (GP) is crucial for many control methods in exoskeletons and prostheses. A class of approaches to GP estimation construct the phase portrait of a segment or joint angle, and use the normalized polar angle of ...

Impact of the skull contour definition on Leksell Gamma Knife(R)Icon (TM) radiosurgery treatment planning

Constantin Tuleasca

Introduction The Gamma Knife(R)planning software (TMR 10, Elekta Instruments, AB, Sweden) affords two ways of defining the skull volume, the "historical" one using manual measurements (still perform in some centers) and the new one using image-based skull ...

Fabrication and Characterisation of Epitaxial PMN-PT Nano-structures

Xiao Di

Downscaling of the minimal feature size, or the gate length has been the key for the exponential im-provement of the performance of the logic CMOS integrated circuits over the last six decades. How-ever, since about 2003, some fundamental limits in the dev ...

Fast Segmentation from Blurred Data in 3D Fluorescence Microscopy

Michaël Unser, Martin Kurt Storath

We develop a fast algorithm for segmenting 3D images from linear measurements based on the Potts model (or piecewise constant Mumford-Shah model). To that end, we first derive suitable space discretizations of the 3D Potts model, which are capable of deali ...

Orthogonal Bodipy Trimers as Photosensitizers for Photodynamic Action

José Luis Bila

Orthogonally linked BODIPY units shale exceptional intersystem crossing efficiencies. We now report orthogonal BODIPY trimers with strong absorption in the visible region and high singlet oxygen generation capability. The X-ray diffraction structure confir ...

Multiscale Centerline Detection

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Engin Türetken, Amos Sironi

Finding the centerline and estimating the radius of linear structures is a critical first step in many applications, ranging from road delineation in 2D aerial images to modeling blood vessels, lung bronchi, and dendritic arbors in 3D biomedical image stac ...

Local Refinement for 3D Deformable Parametric Surfaces

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Anaïs Laure Marie-Thérèse Badoual

Biomedical image segmentation is an active field of research where deformable models have proved to be efficient. The geometric representation of such models determines their ability to approximate the shape of interest as well as the speed of convergence ...

Efficient Shape Priors for Spline-Based Snakes

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann, Ricard Delgado Gonzalo

Parametric active contours are an attractive approach for image segmentation, thanks to their computational efficiency. They are driven by application-dependent energies that reflect the prior knowledge on the object to be segmented. We propose an energy i ...

Modélisation géométrique itérative sous contraintes

Gilles Gouaty

Iterative models are widely used today in CAD. They allow, with a limited number of parameters, to represent relatively complex forms through a subdivision algorithm. There is a wide variety of such models (Catmull-Clark, Doo-Sabin, L-Systems...). Most ite ...

Segmentation fémorale par modèle déformable et programmation dynamique

Gaëtan Marti

This Ph.D thesis presents new paradigms in the field of segmentation by mean of deformable models. Classic model-based segmentation approach consists of iteratively deform complex models in the space of the scanner slices until the organ to segment is fitt ...
