摘要:
A system for establishing a contour of a structure is disclosed. An initialization subsystem (1) is used for initializing an adaptive mesh representing an approximate contour of the structure, the structure being represented at least partly by a first image, and the structure being represented at least partly by a second image. A deforming subsystem (2) is used for deforming the adaptive mesh, based on feature information of the first image and feature information of the second image. The deforming subsystem comprises a force-establishing subsystem (3) for establishing a force acting on at least part of the adaptive mesh, in dependence on the feature information of the first image and the feature information of the second image. A transform-establishing subsystem (4) is used for establishing a coordinate transform reflecting a registration mismatch between the first image, the second image, and the adaptive mesh.

The invention relates to a system (100) for registering a vessel model with an image data set based on a joined model comprising a reference object model and the vessel model, the system comprising: a placement unit (110) for placing the joined model in a space of the image data set, thereby creating a placed joined model comprising a placed reference object model and a placed vessel model; a computation unit (120) for computing a deformation field based on a landmark displacement field comprising displacements of landmarks of the placed reference object model relative to corresponding landmarks in the image data set; a transformation unit (130) for transforming the placed joined model using the deformation field, thereby creating a transformed joined model comprising a transformed reference object model and a transformed vessel model; and a registration unit (140) for registering the transformed vessel model with the image data set based on modifying the transformed vessel model and optimizing an objective function of the modified transformed vessel model, wherein the objective function comprises a location-prior term based on a localization of the modified transformed vessel model relative to the transformed joined model. Hence, the system is arranged to model a vessel taking into account the localization of a vessel model relative to a reference anatomical structure described by a reference model.

The invention relates to an image registration apparatus for registering a first image and a second image with respect to each other. A model, which has a fixed topology, is adapted to the first image for generating a first adapted model and to the second image for generating a second adapted model,and corresponding image elements (40, 48, 49; 50, 58, 9) are determined in the first image and in the second image based on spatial positions of first image elements in the first image with respect to the first adapted model and spatial positions of second image elements in the second image with respect to the second adapted model. Since the model has a fixed topology, corresponding image elements can relatively reliably be found based on the adapted models, even if the first and second images show objects having complex properties like a heart, thereby improving the registration quality.

The invention relates to an adaptation system for adapting a deformable model to an object of interest in an image data set, the system comprising a propagator for propagating a set of predetermined transformation parameters to the model segments that have not yet been activated for adaptation to the image; an activator for activating at least one model segment from the model segments that have not yet been activated for adaptation to the image; and an adapter for adapting the deformable model by optimizing model energy of the deformable model, said model energy comprising internal energy of the plurality of model segments and external energy of at least the latest activated model segment(s). By enabling propagation of the transformation parameters from the model segments that have been adapted to the image to the model segments that have not been adapted to the image, this invention can improve the robustness and flexibility of the adaptation.

The invention relates to a method (100) of adapting a geometric model to an image data comprising determining a first partial transformation for mapping a first part of the geometric model into the image data and a second partial transformation for mapping a second part of the geometric model into the image data. By determining the first partial transformation of the first part of the geometric model and the second partial transformation of the second part of the geometric model, the geometric model can assume more shapes and therefore can be more accurately adapted to an object comprised in the image data.

The present invention relates to a method, a computer system and a computer program product for speech recognition and/or text formatting by making use of topic specific statistical models. A text document which may be obtained from a first speech recognition pass is subject to segmentation and to an assignment of topic specific models for each obtained section. Each model of the set of models provides statistic information about language model probabilities, about text processing or formatting rules, as e.g. the interpretation of commands for punctuation, formatting, text highlighting or of ambiguous text portions requiring specific formatting, as well as a specific vocabulary being characteristic for each section of the recognized text. Furthermore, other properties of a speech recognition and/or formatting system (such as e.g. settings for the speaking rate) may be encoded in the statistical models. The models themselves are generated on the basis of annotated training data and/or by manual coding. Based on the assignment of models to sections of text an improved speech recognition and/or text formatting procedure is performed.
