CVIT at ICIP 2020

Alphin J Thottupattu pursuing Ph.D under the supervision of Prof. Jayanthi Sivaswamy presented a paper on A fast method for shape template generation at the 27th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP-2020) at Abu Dhabi from 25 – 28 October. The conference was held virtually due to Covid-19.

 Research  work as explained by the authors of the paper: 

Disease diagnosis often requires segmentation of structures from a given image followed by shape analysis. Shape analysis entails quantifying the variability in a shape by constructing a template for a given population. We propose an orientation-invariant representation using varifolds for the shape elements in a given shape population and present a novel diffeomorphic Log-demons based template creation pipeline. The proposed method generates a good quality template at a significantly less computation time compared to state of the art method.

ICIP-2020 had rich technical program including top plenaries, targeting relevant and timely topics, tutorials, exposing deep dives into main stream and advanced fields, special sessions, exploring new methods and applications, grand challenges, along with regular sessions, all aiming at establishing the new state of the art in Image Processing. In addition there were several events targeting students and professionals.
