Morphometric differences in the anatomy of cortical structures are associated with neuro-developmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. Such differences can be quantized and detected by a powerful tool called Labeled Cortical Distance Map…
Anatomical shape differences in cortical structures in the brain can be associated with various neuropsychiatric and neuro-developmental diseases or disorders. Labeled Cortical Distance Map (LCDM), can be a powerful tool to quantize such…
In this article, we analyze the morphometry of hippocampus in subjects with very mild dementia of Alzheimer's type (DAT) and nondemented controls and how it changes over a two-year period. Morphometric differences with respect to a template…
Most Machine Learning (ML) methods, from clustering to classification, rely on a distance function to describe relationships between datapoints. For complex datasets it is hard to avoid making some arbitrary choices when defining a distance…
The human brain cortical layer has a convoluted morphology that is unique to each individual. Characterization of the cortical morphology is necessary in longitudinal studies of structural brain change, as well as in discriminating…
Color based re-identification methods usually rely on a distance function to measure the similarity between individuals. In this paper we study the behavior of several histogram distance measures in different color spaces. We wonder whether…
A non-vector-based dissimilarity measure is proposed by combining vector-based distance metrics and set operations. This proposed compound dissimilarity measure (CDM) is applicable to quantify similarity of collections of attribute/feature…
Weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS) methods using class labels often rely on class activation maps (CAMs) to localize objects. However, traditional CAM-based methods struggle with partial activations and imprecise object…

Quantification of brain morphology has become an important cornerstone in understanding brain structure. Measures of cortical morphology such as thickness and surface area are frequently used to compare groups of subjects or characterise…
Motivation: Characterising the changes in cortical morphology across the lifespan is fundamental for a range of research and clinical applications. Most studies to date have found a monotonic decrease in commonly used morphometrics, such as…
The universal scaling law of cortical morphology describes cortical folding as the covariance of average grey matter thickness, pial surface area, and exposed surface area. It applies for mammalian species, humans, and across lobes, however…
Statistical pattern recognition methods based on the Coherence Length Diagram (CLD) have been proposed for medical image analyses, such as quantitative characterisation of human skin textures, and for polarized light microscopy of liquid…
Perspective distortion (PD) leads to substantial alterations in the shape, size, orientation, angles, and spatial relationships of visual elements in images. Accurately determining camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters is challenging,…
We investigate the potential of weak gravitational lensing maps to differentiate between distinct cosmological models, considering cosmic variance due to a limited map extension and the presence of noise. We introduce a measure of the…
The cortical magnification matrix M is introduced founded on a notion similar to that of the scalar cortical magnification factor M. Unlike M, this matrix is suitable to describe anisotropy in cortical magnification, which is of particular…
Encoding the distance between locations in space is essential for accurate navigation. Grid cells, a functional class of neurons in medial entorhinal cortex, are believed to support this computation. However, existing theories of how…
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex psychiatric disorder that affects the lives of hundreds of millions of individuals around the globe. Even today, researchers debate if morphological alterations in the brain are linked to MDD,…
In clinical practice, crossmodal information including medical images and tabular data is essential for disease diagnosis. There exists a significant modality gap between these data types, which obstructs advancements in crossmodal…
Neurodegeneration affects cortical gray matter leading to loss of cortical mantle volume. As a result of such volume loss, the geometrical arrangement of the regions on the cortical surface is expected to be altered in comparison to healthy…
