Statistical Models of Shape and Appearance
نویسنده
چکیده
The Active Shape and Appearance models are used in a variety of instances to effectively model both the shape and appearance of an image in a statistical manner. This project examines the construction of each model and its combined model. Furthermore, the robustness of the model is examined when reconstructing images from outside of its training database and reasons are given for its failure.

Statistical Models of Shape and Appearance
Many objects of interest in images can be represented as deformed versions of some average structure for instance faces, bones and many organs in medical images. This tutorial will describe methods of constructing statistical models of the variation in shape and appearance of such objects from annotated sets of examples. Two widely used matching methods, Active Shape Models and Active Appearanc...
متن کاملStatistical Shape and Appearance Models for Segmentation and Classification
In this dissertation we develop and apply models of shape and models of image intensities (appearance models) in object-based image processing tasks. We make contributions in three areas of interest: constructing novel flexible models of shape and of image intensities, using these models to extract object boundaries from images, and analyzing differences between groups of shapes from given, ext...
متن کاملStatistical models of appearance for medical image analysis and computer vision
Statistical models of shape and appearance are powerful tools for interpreting medical images. We assume a training set of images in which corresponding ‘landmark’ points have been marked on every image. From this data we can compute a a statistical model of the shape variation, a model of the texture variation and a model of the correlations between shape and texture. With enough training exam...
متن کاملPartitioned Shape Modeling with On-the-Fly Sparse Appearance Learning for Anterior Visual Pathway Segmentation
MRI quantification of cranial nerves such as anterior visual pathway (AVP) in MRI is challenging due to their thin small size, structural variation along its path, and adjacent anatomic structures. Segmentation of pathologically abnormal optic nerve (e.g. optic nerve glioma) poses additional challenges due to changes in its shape at unpredictable locations. In this work, we propose a partitione...
متن کاملA 4 - week project in Active Shape and Appearance Models
This paper describes a four-week project in active shape and appearance modeling, including experiments in shape and appearance modeling and a brief look at the fundamental theory. Shape modeling derives a statistical shape model from a set of example objects annotated with landmark points to generate new, similar object shapes. Shape modeling can be extended by gray-level modeling, where a sim...
