  • Visualisation of PET data in the Fly Algorithm 

    Abbood, Zainab Ali; Rocchisani, Jean-Marie; Vidal, Franck (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    We use the Fly algorithm, an artificial evolution strategy, to reconstruct positron emission tomography (PET) images. The algorithm iteratively optimises the position of 3D points. It eventually produces a point cloud, ...
  • Simulated Motion Artefact in Computed Tomography 

    Vidal, Franck; Villard, Pierre-Frédéric (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    We propose a simulation framework to simulate the computed tomography acquisition process. It includes five components: anatomic data, respiration modelling, automatic parametrisation, X-ray simulation, and tomography ...
  • A Statistical Method for Surface Detection 

    Smith, Samuel; Williams, Ian (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    This work presents a new method for 3D surface detection using a statistical dual-region filter. The method improves over traditional 3D surface detection techniques by resolving interfaces between different stochastic ...
