Math 290j/2, Winter 2007 and CCB SIG-PDE
Current literature in applied mathematics
Topics: variational methods and partial differential equations for image analysis, including medical imaging. Statistical or wavelets methods are also welcome.

SCHEDULE:

Thursday, January 18, 11am-12pm: We talked about the paper
  • Snakes, shapes, and gradient vector flow, by Xu CY, Prince JL, from IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING 7 (3): 359-369 MAR 1998.
    Paper

    Thursday, January 25, 11am - 12pm: We will continue with the same topic, by reading and presenting the papers:
  • NGVF: An improved external force field for active contour model, Ning JF, Wu CK, Liu SG, Yang SQ, PATTERN RECOGNITION LETTERS 28 (1): 58-63 JAN 1 2007 Paper
  • Interpolating orientation fields: An axiomatic approach , Chessel A, Cao F, Fablet R, COMPUTER VISION - ECCV 2006, PT 4, PROCEEDINGS LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE 3954: 241-254, Part 4 2006 Paper
    These two papers are related and based on the paper presented last year by Toungyou Lin:
  • An axiomatic approach to image interpolation, Caselles V, Morel JM, Sbert C, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING 7 (3): 376-386 MAR 1998 Paper
