Cephalometric Landmark Detection is the process of identifying key areas for cephalometry. Each landmark is a single GT point labelled by a clinician. A machine learning model predicts the probability locus of a landmark represented by a…
Purpose: Semantic segmentation and landmark detection are fundamental tasks of medical image processing, facilitating further analysis of anatomical objects. Although deep learning-based pixel-wise classification has set a…
Re-identification of individual animals in images can be ambiguous due to subtle variations in body markings between different individuals and no constraints on the poses of animals in the wild. Person re-identification is a similar task…
In this paper, we address the problem of automatic three-dimensional cephalometric analysis. Cephalometric analysis performed on lateral radiographs doesn't fully exploit the structure of 3D objects due to projection onto the lateral plane.…
Rapid advances in 3D model scanning have enabled the mass digitization of dental clay models. However, most clinicians and researchers continue to use manual morphometric analysis methods on these models such as landmarking. This is a…
Image landmark detection aims to automatically identify the locations of predefined fiducial points. Despite recent success in this field, higher-ordered structural modeling to capture implicit or explicit relationships among anatomical…
The success of deep learning methods relies on the availability of a large number of datasets with annotations; however, curating such datasets is burdensome, especially for medical images. To relieve such a burden for a landmark detection…
Clinicians trace cephalometric radiographs by following a structured anatomical workflow -- yet no prior system explicitly encodes this into computation. We present a five-phase anatomy-guided pipeline producing confidence-weighted spatial…
A Point Distribution Model (PDM) is the basis of a Statistical Shape Model (SSM) that relies on a set of landmark points to represent a shape and characterize the shape variation. In this work, we present a self-supervised approach to…
Homologous anatomical landmarks between medical scans are instrumental in quantitative assessment of image registration quality in various clinical applications, such as MRI-ultrasound registration for tissue shift correction in…
We propose a new Patch-based Iterative Network (PIN) for fast and accurate landmark localisation in 3D medical volumes. PIN utilises a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to learn the spatial relationship between an image patch and…
The topic of facial landmark detection has been widely covered for pictures of human faces, but it is still a challenge for drawings. Indeed, the proportions and symmetry of standard human faces are not always used for comics or mangas. The…
The incorporation of 3D data in facial analysis tasks has gained popularity in recent years. Though it provides a more accurate and detailed representation of the human face, accruing 3D face data is more complex and expensive than 2D face…
Deep learning networks have shown promising performance for accurate object localization in medial images, but require large amount of annotated data for supervised training, which is expensive and expertise burdensome. To address this…
We propose a novel cascaded framework, namely deep deformation network (DDN), for localizing landmarks in non-rigid objects. The hallmarks of DDN are its incorporation of geometric constraints within a convolutional neural network (CNN)…
Existing deep learning based facial landmark detection methods have achieved excellent performance. These methods, however, do not explicitly embed the structural dependencies among landmark points. They hence cannot preserve the geometric…
Marking anatomical landmarks in cephalometric radiography is a critical operation in cephalometric analysis. Automatically and accurately locating these landmarks is a challenging issue because different landmarks require different levels…
The ultrasound (US) screening of the infant hip is vital for the early diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The US diagnosis of DDH refers to measuring alpha and beta angles that quantify hip joint development. These two…
