A Statistical Shape Model for the Liver
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of statistical shape models is a promising approach for robust segmentation of medical images. One of the major challenges in building a 3D shape model from a training set of segmented instances of an object is the determination of the correspondence between them. We propose a novel geometric approach that is based on minimizing the distortion of the mapping between two surfaces. In this work we investigate the accuracy and completeness of a 3D statistical shape model for the liver built from 20 manually segmented individual CT data sets. The quality of the shape model is crucial for its application as a segmentation tool.

A Semi-empirical Model to Predict the Attached Axisymmetric Shock Shape
In this work, a simple semi-empirical model is proposed, based on Response Surface Model, RSM, to determine the shape of an attached oblique shock wave emanating from a pointed axisymmetric nose at zero angle of attack. Extensive supersonic visualization images have been compiled from various nose shapes at different Mach numbers, along with some others performed by the author for the present p...

متن کاملComparing the Shape Parameters of Two Weibull Distributions Using Records: A Generalized Inference
The Weibull distribution is a very applicable model for the lifetime data. For inference about two Weibull distributions using records, the shape parameters of the distributions are usually considered equal. However, there is not an appropriate method for comparing the shape parameters in the literature. Therefore, comparing the shape parameters of two Weibull distributions is very important. I...
