  • Modified Large Margin Nearest Neighbor Metric Learning for Regression 

    Assi, Kondo C.; Labelle, Hubert; Cheriet, Farida (IEEE, 2014-03)
    The main objective of this letter is to formulate a new approach of learning a Mahalanobis distance metric for nearest neighbor regression from a training sample set. We propose a modified version of the large margin nearest neighbor metric learning ...
  • A physically based trunk soft tissue modeling for scoliosis surgery planning systems 

    Assi, Kondo C.; Grenier, Sébastien; Parent, Stefan; Labelle, Hubert; Cheriet, Farida (Elsevier, 2015-03-01)
    One of the major concerns of scoliotic patients undergoing spinal correction surgery is the trunk's external appearance after the surgery. This paper presents a novel incremental approach for simulating postoperative trunk shape in scoliosis surgery. ...
  • Simulation of the postoperative trunk appearance in scoliosis surgery 

    Dionne, Olivier; Assi, Kondo C.; Grenier, Sébastien; Labelle, Hubert; Guibault, François; Cheriet, Farida (IEEE, 2012-05-01)
    Persistence of external trunk asymmetry after scoliosis surgical treatment is frequent and difficult to predict by clinicians. This is a significant problem considering that correction of the apparent deformity is a major factor of satisfaction for the ...
  • Statistical model based 3D shape prediction of postoperative trunks for non-invasive scoliosis surgery planning 

    Assi, Kondo C.; Labelle, Hubert; Cheriet, Farida (Elsevier, 2014-05-01)
    One of the major concerns of scoliosis patients undergoing surgical treatment is the aesthetic aspect of the surgery outcome. It would be useful to predict the postoperative appearance of the patient trunk in the course of a surgery planning process ...
