Carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) measurements provide a non-invasive assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of the study was to assess the inter- and intra-observer variability of automated C-IMT measurements undertaken by two novic...
Recognizing human actions in 3-D video sequences is an important open problem that is currently at the heart of many research domains including surveillance, natural interfaces and rehabilitation. However, the design and development of models for act...
Retinal imaging provides a non-invasive opportunity for the diagnosis of several medical pathologies. The automatic segmentation of the vessel tree is an important pre-processing step which facilitates subsequent automatic processes that contribute t...

This paper proposes a new computer-aided method for the skin lesion classification applicable to both melanocytic skin lesions (MSLs) and nonmelanocytic skin lesions (NoMSLs). The computer-aided skin lesion classification has drawn attention as an ai...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The objectives are: 1) to introduce a simple and efficient method for extracting region of interest (ROI) values from a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) viewer using optical character recognition (OCR) softw...
There is an increasing interest in learning mappings from features to saliency maps based on human fixation data on natural images. These models have achieved better results than most bottom-up (unsupervised) saliency models. However, they usually us...
This paper proposes a novel model-based tracking approach for 3-D localization. One main difficulty of standard model-based approach lies in the presence of low-level ambiguities between different edges. In this paper, given a 3-D model of the edges ...
