Measurement-Based Shape Analysis

چکیده
Conventional methods for shape analysis, based upon Procrustes and PCA, seem incapable of dealing with ‘non-landmark’ features, meaning measured positions not associated with well defined locations. This is due to an assumption of homogeneous errors, associated with an attempt to extract linear models with biologically meaningful descriptions. We propose a shape analysis system based upon the description of landmarks with measurement covariance which will extend the modelling process to ‘pseudo-landmarks’ such as boundaries and surfaces. We discuss the properties of our approach and how these covariances can be considered characteristic of the local shape. The method has been implemented and tested on measurements from fly wing, hand and face data. We use these data to explore possible advantages and disadvantages over the use of Procrustes/PCA.

Surface reconstruction of detect contours for medical image registration purpose
Although, most of the abnormal structures of human brain do not alter the shape of outer envelope of brain (surface), some abnormalities can deform the surface extensively. However, this may be a major problem in a surface-based registration technique, since two nearly identical surfaces are required for surface fitting process. A type of verification known as the circularity check for th...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new technique for row spacing measurement in a wire array using giant magnetoresistive (GMR) sensor. The self-rectifying property of the GMR-based probes leads to accurately detection of the magnetic field fluctuations caused by surface-breaking cracks in conductive materials, shape-induced magnetic anisotropy, etc. The ability to manufacture probes h...

The study was performed on the shape and morphology of otolith Grammoplites suppositus (Troschel, 1840) in Bushehr and Hormozgan waters of the Persian Gulf. 157 specimens (86 from Hormozgan and 72 from Bushehr) were collected as trawl bycatch. All the specimens are killed and fixed in 70% alcohol. After obtaining otolith, its shape indices include: form factor, roundness, circularity, rectangul...
متن کاملMorphometric Shape Analysis with Measurement Covariance Estimates
We propose a shape analysis system based upon the description of landmarks with measurement covariance, which extends statistical linear modelling processes to ‘pseudo landmarks’ for scientific studies. We discuss the properties of our approach and how measurement covariances can be considered characteristic of the local shape. Our formulation includes corrections for parameter bias, induced by...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of 3-D shape measurement algorithm with a short baseline projector-camera system
A number of works for 3-D shape measurement based on structured light have been well-studied in the last decades. A common way to model the system is to use the binocular stereovision-like model. In this model, the projector is treated as a camera, thus making a projector-camera-based system unified with a well-established traditional binocular stereovision system. After calibrating the project...
