I’ve spent a little time with Caffe over the holiday break to try and understand how it might work in the context of real-time visualization/object recognition in more natural scenes/videos. Right now, I’ve implemented the following Deep Convolution Networks using …

Extracting Automatically Labeled Volumetric ROIs from MRI

Performing a region of interest analysis on MRI requires knowing where the regions are in your subject data. Typically, this has been done using hand-drawn masks in a 3d viewer. However, recent research has made the process mostly automatic and …
