The ability to measure the mean and Gaussian curvature in lipid mesophases is important in our understanding of their formation and properties, and can be achieved both experimentally and computationally. Here we show that curvature can be…
Estimating 3D human pose and shape from 2D images is a crucial yet challenging task. While prior methods with model-based representations can perform reasonably well on whole-body images, they often fail when parts of the body are occluded…
Along with rich health-related metadata, medical images have been acquired for over 40,000 male and female UK Biobank participants, aged 44-82, since 2014. Phenotypes derived from these images, such as measurements of body composition from…
This paper presents novel methods to predict the surface and volume of the ham through a camera. This implies that the conventional weight measurement to obtain in the object's volume can be neglected and hence it is economically effective.…
We develop a novel ultrasound nasogastric tube (UNGT) dataset to address the lack of public nasogastric tube datasets. The UNGT dataset includes 493 images gathered from 110 patients with an average image resolution of approximately 879…
Volume Interpolated Breath-Hold Examination (VIBE) MRI generates images suitable for water and fat signal composition estimation. While the two-point VIBE provides water-fat-separated images, the six-point VIBE allows estimation of the…
