 | 30 January 2012, MI 00.12.019 QUANTITATIVE EVALUTATION OF 4D MYOCARDIAL STRAIN MEASURES VIA OPTICAL FLOW WITH A FINITE ELEMENT MODEL FITTED TO SONOMICROMETRY Dynamic cardiac metrics, including strains and displacements, can provide a quantitative approach to evaluate cardiac function. However, in current clinical diagnosis, strain measures in 2D are used despite the fact that cardiac motions are complex changes in 4D. Recent advances in 4D ultrasound enable the capability to capture such complex motion in real time. In our previous work, a 4D optical flow based motion tracking algorithm was developed to extract full 4D dynamic cardiac metrics from such 4D ultrasound data. In order to quantitatively evaluate this method, coronary artery occlusion experiments at various locations were performed on five canine hearts with 4D ultrasound and sonomicrometry data acquired during the occlusion. Optical flow displacement was then mapped onto a finite element field fitted model. Corresponding 4D ultrasound data from these experiments were then analyzed. Estimated principal strains were directly compared to those recorded by sonomicrometry showing strong agreement. This was the first validation study of optical flow based strain estimation for 4D cardiac ultrasound including a direct comparison with sonomicrometry on in vivo data. |
 | 27 January 2012, MI 03.13.010 Modeling Brain Circuitry over a Wide Range of Scales Electron microscopes (EM) can now provide the nanometer resolution that is needed to image synapses, and therefore connections, while Light Microscopes (LM) see at the micrometer resolution required to model the 3D structure of the dendritic network. Since both the arborescence and the connections are integral parts of the brain's wiring diagram, combining these two modalities is critically important. In this talk, I will therefore present our approach to building the dendritic arborescence and to tracking migrating neurons from LM images, as well as to segmenting intra-neuronal structures from EM images. I will also argue that the techniques that are in wide usage in the Computer Vision and Machine Learning community are just as applicable in this context. |
 | 26 January 2012, MI 01.13.010 Multi-People Tracking through Global Optimization Given three or four synchronized videos taken at eye level and from different angles, we show that we can effectively detect and track people, even when the only available data comes from the binary output of a simple blob detector and the number of present individuals is a priori unknown. We start from occupancy probability estimates in a top view and rely on a generative model to yield probability images to be compared with the actual input images. We then refine the estimates so that the probability images match the binary input images as well as possible. Finally, having performed this computation independently at each time step, we compute trajectories over tive by solving a convex constrained flow problem, which allows us accurately follow individuals across thousands of frames. Our algorithm yields metrically accurate trajectories for each one of them, in spite of very significant occlusions. In short, we combine a mathematically well-founded generative model that works in each frame individually with a simple approach to global optimization. This yields excellent performance using very simple models that could be further improved. |

| 28 September 2011, MI 01.13.010 Advanced Imaging in Head-Mounted Displays for Patients with Age-Related Macular Degeneration Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of low vision worldwide without a medical solution. Nevertheless, enhancement of people’s vision by means of mediated reality is conceivable. This thesis presents a head-mounted magnification system to enhance visual perception acquired with peripheral vision. A hybrid magnification technique is adjusted and implemented on a head-mounted display. Furthermore; a system for modeling and correcting distorted vision is proposed. The system obtains a correction model by means of a deformable grid. To evaluate the system; a method for simulating distorted vision is applied. By superimposing the model on OCT macular images; it is suitable to identify macular features; which could help on the development of an automatic correction method. |
 | 23 September 2011, MI 03.13.010 The Embedded Vision Approach to the Development of Backover Prevention Prototype In this talk we describe the development of a prototype for Backover Prevention on an embedded processor. The approach is based on developing (1) memory-agnostic compute functions and (2) optimal data transfers, independent of each other. Thus the data transfer design is orthogonal to the design of vision functions. This feature of our approach to embedded vision significantly simplifies the often very hard process of implementing complex vision algorithms on embedded processors. |

Abstract: Performance capture is a term for a new class of acquisition methods that enable the simultaneous reconstruction of dynamic shape and surface appearance properties of dynamic scenes - in particular scenes involving human actors - from multi-view video. These reconstruction approaches exceed the capabilities of marker-based optical motion capture approaches that are still state-of-the-art in many real production scenarios, such as in movie productions... |

 | 11 April 2011, MI 03.13.010 Invited Talk: Physical Manifestations of Virtual Humans Virtual humans have been around for many years, offering a controlled human dimension to applications such as training, education, and entertainment. The manifestation of virtual humans in a real space typically involves a 2D flat panel display, sometimes with stereo head tracked imagery. In these situations, the 2D display effectively serves as a portal to the virtual human’s world, through which all communication and perception must pass. From the perspective of the real space, the virtual humans are in some sense “trapped” in the 2D display. But what if instead, avatars could manifest themselves in physical form, with human shape, appearance, behavior, and sound? In other words, what if virtual humans could break free from their 2D displays, joining us in the real world as physically-present approximations of real humans? In this talk I will discuss this idea, including some applications, technology research, perceptual issues, and even ethical issues |
