In current biological and medical research, statistical shape modeling (SSM) provides an essential framework for the characterization of anatomy/morphology. Such analysis is often driven by the identification of a relatively small number of…
Modern face alignment methods have become quite accurate at predicting the locations of facial landmarks, but they do not typically estimate the uncertainty of their predicted locations nor predict whether landmarks are visible. In this…
On-line segmentation of the uterus can aid effective image-based guidance for precise delivery of dose to the target tissue (the uterocervix) during cervix cancer radiotherapy. 3D ultrasound (US) can be used to image the uterus, however,…
Vision based localization is a popular approach to carry out manoeuvres particularly in GPS-restricted indoor environments, because vision can complement other activities performed by the robot. The objective is to estimate the current…
Facial alignment involves finding a set of landmark points on an image with a known semantic meaning. However, this semantic meaning of landmark points is often lost in 2D approaches where landmarks are either moved to visible boundaries or…
The ability of humans to infer head poses from face shapes, and vice versa, indicates a strong correlation between the two. Accordingly, recent studies on face alignment have employed head pose information to predict facial landmarks in…
