Title: Segmentation and tracking of deformable structures in biomedical images
Summary: My presentation is divided into three sections: I will present work from my Ph.D and two previous postdocs. All three projects concerned the segmentation of deformable structures in biomedical images. In the first section, I will present an non-linear elastic model for the segmentation of the heart ventricles in MR images that I developed during my thesis, see [1]. This model uses geometrical constraints to guide the deformation of a mesh, and a prior shape placed into the image, towards the boundary of the heart ventricles. The mesh is deformed under a force field computed from the image. The second part concerns the segmentation of microglia extensions from confocal images with geodesic methods. These methods are based on the Fast marching method, Harris points and a novel geodesic method, geodesic voting [2]. These methods are all adapted to segment automatically tree structures. Finally, I will present work from my last post-doc on the mapping of the brain connectivity in Diffusion Tensor Images (DTI). I will also present results of a group analysis comparing healthy and schizophrenic individuals and a study of white maturation in mouse brain [3].

Title: How to map and track cortical activations with M/EEG using sparse
priors and graph cuts
Abstract: Magneto and electroencephalography (M/EEG) can measure every millisecond the electromagnetic fields produced by the brain. From these measurements, the challenge is to localize in space, but also in time, the active brain regions that have generated the measured signal. After a short introduction to the biological basis and the physics principles enabling the acquisition of M/EEG data, we will detail the mathematical and computational aspects of the problem of brain source localization with M/EEG. When considering distributed source models, the problem addressed is equivalent to a strongly ill-posed deconvolution problem, for which a priori knowledge needs to be used. We will focus on priors leading to convex optimization problems for which we will present general optimization strategies based on proximity operators. We will show how this framework allowed us to provide a solution to the problem of retinotopic mapping with MEG data. We will then detail a graph-cut based approach to track cortical activations over time.

Title: Total Variation, Relaxation & Convex Optimization for Image
Segmentation & Graph Clustering
Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce two algorithms for image
segmentation and graph clustering. One of the most influential image
segmentation models is the Mumford-Shah’s model (1800 citations).
Several algorithms such as the level set method have been introduced to
compute a minimizing solution to the MS’s problem, but none of them can
compute a global solution. We introduce a convex formulation for the
multiphase piecewise constant MS problem (which is equivalent to the
NP-hard problem of Potts in the discrete literature) and compute exact
global minimizing solutions. We believe our method is the first in the
literature that can make this claim. The second model will focus on
graph clustering, which aims at grouping similar high-dimensional data
s.a. images. The main problem of graph clustering is to minimize a cut
of the graph. Popular cuts are the normalized cut of Shi-Malik (3000
citations) and the Cheeger’s cut, which are NP-hard problems. We
introduce a continuous relaxation of the Cheeger’s cut problem and we
show that the relaxation is actually equivalent to the original problem,
which is not the case with the Shi-Malik’s relaxation. We also give an
algorithm which is experimentally very efficient on some clustering
benchmarks since the algorithm can cluster 10,000 high-dimensional
points in a few seconds.
This is joint work with T. Chan (NSF & UCLA), E. Brown, T. Goldstein, S.
Osher (UCLA), and A. Szlam (NYU).

Title: Object Detection by Keygraph Classification
Object detection consists in the problem of deciding whether a model belongs to a scene and, if it does, calculate its exact pose. Since the ground-breaking work of Schmid and Mohr (1997), it is known that keypoint-based approaches can be very effective in solving this problem. Such approaches consist in ignoring the majority of the points in the model and the scene and focusing only on a subset of special points that can be detected and descripted consistently even under variations of scale, rotation and brightness. Those keypoints are classified individually and eventual misclassifications can be filtered through a robust pose estimator.
On this seminar we will present an alternative framework on which the individual classification of keypoints is replaced by the classification of graphs whose vertices are keypoints. Such keygraphs present three advantages: (a) allow the extraction of relational descriptors, which are more naturally robust; (b) allow a simpler scheme for pose estimation and (c) allow a fine tuning of the implementation according to the complexity of the detection problem. The risk of combinatorial explosion can be circunvented through a combination of polygonal meshing, structural constraints and part-based classification schemes. Preliminary results with implementations based on three-vertex keygraphs and four-vertex keygraphs suggest that the framework can be fast enough for real-time frame-by-frame detection on videos.
