Introduction to Multi-scale Imaging, Geometry, Informatics and Visualization

Introduction to computational algorithms and data structures for image and geometry processing, and visualization with applications to multi-modal biological-imaging data spanning molecular, cellular, tissue and whole organ scales. The relevant algorithms include image filtering, contrast enhancement, alignment, reconstruction, contouring, skeletonization, segmentation, compression, surface point-cloud reconstruction, cross-sectional interpolation, finite element mesh generation, mesh-quality improvement, medial axis, complementary spaces, quantitative analysis (topological, combinatorial, geometric properties), volume visualization. The relevant data structures include interval trees, octrees, contour trees and packing grids.

As application case studies we shall consider :

I) molecular modeling from single particle and tomographic EM (electron microscopy) and quantitative visualization of properties involved in molecular recognition

II) cellular modeling from serial section EM and quantitative visualization of properties involved in electrical signaling

III) cardio-vasculature modeling from CT (computed tomography) Angio and quantitative visualization of properties involved in blood flow
