A 2.5D Colon Wall Flattening Model for CT-Based Virtual Colonoscopy
Conformal map** for Computed Tomography Colonography(CTC) provides a two-dimensional (2D) representations for the original three-dimensional (3D) colon wall. Based on the flattening results of the colon, eff...

Large-Scale Manifold Learning Using an Adaptive Sparse Neighbor Selection Approach for Brain Tumor Progression Prediction
Manifold learning performs dimensionality reduction by identifying low-dimensional structures (manifolds) embedded in a high-dim- ensional space. Many algorithms involve an eigenvector or singular value decomp...

Local Label Descriptor for Example Based Semantic Image Labeling
In this paper we introduce the concept of local label descriptor, which is a concatenation of label histograms for each cell in a patch. Local label descriptors alleviate the label patch misalignment issue in com...
