Convolutional Neural Networks have outperformed traditional image processing approaches for many image classification tasks. However, despite achieving high classification accuracy on multiple datasets, these machine learning approaches are not transparent and act more like a black box. For this...

An atlas is an anatomical representation containing all brain structures well identified in a stereotaxic space from a single subject or a population. Atlases provide information about the organization and localization of the different brain tissues. One may take advantage of this well-organized...

The current computer input devices are either direct or indirect based on how interactive input data is interpreted by a computing system. Existing research have shown the benefits and limitations of both input modalities, and found that the limits of one input mode are the advantages of the...

With the exponential growth of web image data, image tagging is becoming crucial in many image based applications such as object recognition and content-based image retrieval. However, despite the great progress achieved in automatic recognition technologies, none has yet provided a satisfactory...

Physical simulations are in general very computationally intensive and required large and costly computing resources. Most of those simulations are rarely interactive as the link between visualization, interaction, and simulation is too slow. The recent development of parallel Graphic Processing...

It is essential for surgeons to have their skill evaluated prior to entering the oper- ating room. Most evaluation methods currently in use are subjective, relying on human judgment to assess trainees. Recently, sensors have been used to track the positions of instruments and the forces applied...
