متن کاملLocalized Component Analysis for Arthritis Detection in the Trapeziometacarpal Joint
The trapeziometacarpal joint enables the prehensile function of the thumb. Unfortunately, this joint is vulnerable to osteoarthritis (OA) that typically affects the local shape of the trapezium. A novel, local statistical shape model is defined that employs a differentiable locality measure based on the weighted variance of point coordinates per mode. The simplicity of the function and the smoo...
