Generalized Scale: Theory, Algorithms and Applications in Medical ImageAnalysis

Description: Generalized Scale by Anant Madabhushi, Jayaram Udupa Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging (MRI), a non-invasivemethod for imaging the human body, hasrevolutionized medical imaging. MR image processing,particularly segmentation, and analysis are usedextensively in medical and clinical research foradvancing our understanding and diagnosis of varioushuman diseases. These efforts face two majordifficulties - the first due to image intensityinhomogeneity present as a background variationcomponent, and the second due to the non-standardnessof the MR image intensities. Scale is a fundamentalconcept useful in almost all image processing andanalysis tasks. Broadly speaking, scale related workcan be divided into multi-scale representations(global models) and local scale models. In thisthesis, we present a new morphometric scale modelthat we refer to as generalized scale which combinesthe properties of local scale models with the globalspirit of multi-scale representations. We contendthat this semi-locally adaptive nature ofgeneralized scale confers it certain distinctadvantages over other scale formulations, making itreadily applicable to solving several imageprocessing tasks.
