Interests
My research interestes are in: Medical Image Analysis, Image Processing and Computational Vision, Computer Graphics, Statistical Learning, Information Geometry and Applied Mathematics. Some salient features of my published work are: (1) We introduced the geometric active contours idea in a level-set framework for image segmentation to the field of Computer Vision (SPIE'93, ECCV'94, PAMI'95), (2) We developed the fastest preconditioners to-date, for a host of early vision problems that involved solving elliptic PDEs including (a) surface reconstruction, (b) shape from shading, (c) the lightness problem and (d) optical flow (see PAMI'97 and IJCV'98); (3) Several efficient algorithms for uni-modal and multi-modal image registration in Medical Imaging (MedIA'98, MedIA'03, IEEE TMI'02), (4) Diffusion Tensor smoothing and estimation (IPMI'03); (5) We introduced a new measure of entropy which has more general properties than Shannon entropy and applied it to multi-modal image registration with superior results in comparison to mutual information-based methods (see IPMI'03).
