Joint efforts during the course "Computer Vision and Deep Learning"

By vrai

We are happy to announce that our work "A regression framework to head-circumference delineation from US fetal images" has been published in "Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine". You can find the work here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169260720316047

This work was born in the framework of the "Computer Vision and Deep Learning" course of UNIVPM, held by Prof. Emanuele Frontoni. During the practical section of the course, two master students (Morriss Capparuccini and Sara Giamberini) started to work on fetal head-circumference delineation with the support and supervision of Maria Chiara Fiorentino (PhD student) and Sara Moccia (Postdoc). All the efforts have now been paid off!

Well done!
