This book covers the complete spectrum of deformable models, its evolution as an imagery field and its use in many biomedical engineering and clinical application disciplines. The book focuses on the core image processing techniques, theory and biomaterials useful to research and industry. Contributors are all pioneers in the field.

Aly A. Farag received the bachelor degree from Cairo University, Egypt and the PhD degree from Purdue University in Electrical Engineering. He also holds master degrees in bioengineering from the Ohio State and the University of Michigan. He is a University Scholar and Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Louisville. Dr. Farag is the founder and director of the Computer Vision and Image Processing Laboratory (CVIP Lab) which focuses on imaging science, computer vision and biomedical imaging. Dr. Farag main research focus is 3D object reconstruction from multimodality imaging, and applications of statistical and variational methods for object segmentation and registration. He has authored over 250 technical papers in the field of image understanding and holds a number patents. He is regular reviewer to a number of professional organizations in the United States and abroad, and a member of the editorial boards of a number journals and international meetings.

In the biomedical field, biomedical imagery has come to be a discipline of its own, given the nature of its applications in the understanding of the human body and medical diagnostics. The understanding of Deformable Models are the significant utility on biomedical imagery primarily because of its ability to perform efficient topology preservation and fast shape recovery. This has dominated the binary, grayscale and color imaging frameworks, which the eye can perceive. It has not only the ability to find boundaries and surfaces that are deep-seated in 2-D and 3-D volumes respectively, but also provide satisfactory solutions for the completion of cognitive objects with missing boundaries.Deformable Models: Theory and Biomaterial Applications focuses on the core image processing techniques: theory and biomaterials useful to research and industry.
