Invited Talk by Dr. Tommaso Mansi
Patient-specific therapy planning is challenging due to the large variability in disease causes, locations and severity. Dr. Tommaso Mansi is going to present an integrated framework for multi-physics heart modeling based on medical images, relying on efficient machine-learning methods to estimate an accurate and comprehensive model of patient’s anatomy from MRI |

PhD Defense of Maximilian Baust about Polar Active Contours for Medical Applications
The accurate and robust detection and tracking of objects in different kinds of imaging data is a fundamental task in computer vision, which can be achieved by so-called active contours. The contribution of this dissertation is the development of a novel class of polar active contours, i.e. a sub-class of active contours which can only describe star-shaped objects. These novel active contours enjoy several properties, such as an increased robustness to noise for instance, which are particularly desirable for medical applications, e.g. the segmentation of abdominal aortic aneurysms from computed tomography angiography data or the tracking of the left ventricular cavity acquired by magnetic resonance imaging. |

Interventional Perfusion Imaging
Computed tomography is rather advanced and experienced an immense innovation boost in the last decade. Nowadays reconstruction algorithms for rigid objects exhibit excellent image quality. Contrast and spatial resolution are sufficient for many diagnostic and interventional procedures. One out of many, but very demanding open problems in interventional imaging is still the three-dimensional reconstruction of perfusion processes using C-arm devices. The impact of such a system would be outstanding: perfusion measurements could be done during interventions using the existing imaging equipment. In this talk I will present initial algorithmic and clinical results for C-arm perfusion imaging in the interventional suite. |

PhD Defense of Victor Castaneda about Constructive interference for Multi-view Time–of-flight acquisition
This thesis describes a novel method for acquiring depth images using multi-view Time of Flight (ToF) cameras, which uses a constructive interference between the emitted signals to enhance the depth accuracy. This work proposes to combine the measurements of the multi-view cameras at the acquisition level, in opposite to approaches that filter, calibrate or do 3D reconstructions posterior to the image acquisition. This work presents an example using a pair of ToF cameras in stereo-set-up defining a three-stages procedure, in which the infrared lighting of the scene is actively modified. This thesis also presents two applications of Monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (MonoSLAM). The first application is using MonoSLAM in endoscopic images and the second one in a RGB-D sensor. |
