Abstract:
This thesis has been accomplished in Crisalix in collaboration with the Universitat Pompeu Fabra within the program of Doctorats Industrials. Crisalix has the mission of enhancing the communication between professionals of plastic surgery and patients by providing a solution to the most common question during the surgery planning process of ``How will I look after the surgery?''. The solution proposed by Crisalix is based in 3D imaging technology. This technology generates the 3D reconstruction that accurately represents the area of the patient that is going to be operated.

A thermodynamics-based constitutive model is derived which predicts the nonlinear strain and magnetization response that magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) exhibit when subjected to mechanical and magnetic loads.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立中央大學<br>電機工程學系<br>102<br>In this study, we applied image segmentation algorithm to automatically segment the tongue contour from the oral magnetic resonance images (MRI) in order to construct a three dimensional (3-D) tongue in real human size and to study the anatomical structures of tongue muscles and reconstruct these 2-D slice results into a 3-D tongue. Based on the suggestion of the previous study from our laboratory, we adopted shape prior and fuzzy clustering knowledge into level set algorithm for solving the problems of previous research. We enhanced the pixel contrast of the f

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>資訊管理系研究所<br>105<br>We introduce an innovative application that combines Faster Region with Convolution Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) and Active Shape Model (ASM) for automated segmentation of the left ventricle of the heart from ultrasound data. This combination is relevant for segmentation problems, where the left ventricle presents large shape and appearance variations, but we can use only small annotated training set to adapt different heart phase and case by deep learning. Compare to other tradition segmentation methods, ASM is a model-based segmentation methodology which i

Abstract:
In the field of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgery, surgical planning is an important and necessary procedure due to the complex nature of the craniofacial skeleton. Computed tomography (CT) has brought about a revolution in virtual diagnosis, surgical planning and simulation, and evaluation of treatment outcomes. It provides high-quality 3D image and model of skull for Computer-aided surgical planning system (CSPS). During the planning process, one of the essential steps is to reestablish the dental occlusion. In the first project, a new approach is presented to automatically and efficiently r

Abstract:
Motivation. In Biomechanics, musculoskeletal models yield information that cannot be non-invasively obtained by direct measurement based on skeletal kinematics. Unsatisfactorily, obtaining accurate skeletal kinematics is limited to either user manual labelling or marker-based motion capture systems (MoCaps) that are limited by expansive infrastructure, environmental conditions, obtrusive markers causing movement impediment and occlusion errors. Moreover, they cannot yield surface geometry that is critical for many biomechanical applications. To advance
