A Method of Automated Landmark Generation for Automated 3D PDM Construction
نویسندگان
چکیده
A previous publication has described a method of pairwise 3D surface correspondence for the automated generation of landmarks on a set of examples from a class of shape [3]. In this paper we describe a set of improved algorithms which give more accurate and more robust results. We show how the pairwise corresponder can be used in a extension of an existing framework for establishing dense correspondences between a set of training examples [4] to build a 3D Point Distribution Model. Examples are given for both synthetic and real data.

Automated 3D PDM Construction Using Deformable Models
In recent years several methods have been proposed for constructing statistical shape models to aid image analysis tasks by providing a-priori knowledge. Examples include principal component analysis (PCA) of manually or semi-automatically placed corresponding landmarks on the learning shapes (point distribution models, PDM), which is time consuming and subjective. However, automatically establ...
متن کاملA framework for automatic construction of 3D PDM from segmented volumetric neuroradiological data sets
3D point distribution model (PDM) of subcortical structures can be applied in medical image analysis by providing priori-knowledge. However, accurate shape representation and point correspondence are still challenging for building 3D PDM. This paper presents a novel framework for the automated construction of 3D PDMs from a set of segmented volumetric images. First, a template shape is generate...

Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...

متن کاملA Method of 3D Surface Correspondence for Automated Landmark Generation
A method for corresponding the triangulated mesh surface representations of two shapes is presented. The algorithm produces a matching pair of sparse polyhedral approximations, one for each shape surface, using a global Euclidean measure of similarity. A method of surface patch parameterisation is presented and its use in the interpolation of surfaces for the construction of a merged mean shape...
