MDL Shape Models: Implementation Issues
نویسنده
چکیده
Minimum Description Length (MDL) shape modelling has recently established itself as a gold standard in optimal shape modelling. By end of 2004, available MDL packages are written in Matlab and/or incorrectly. The purpose of this technical report is to list the most critical problems that occurred during a C++ implementation of MDL–based 2D shape modelling.

Minimum Description Length Shape and Appearance Models
The Minimum Description Length (MDL) approach to shape modelling is reviewed. It solves the point correspondence problem of selecting points on shapes defined as curves so that the points correspond across a data set. An efficient numerical implementation is presented and made available as open source Matlab code. The problems with the early MDL approaches are discussed. Finally the MDL approac...
متن کاملRegistration and Analysis of Myocardial Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Images
This thesis presents the registration and analysis of myocardial perfusion magnetic resonance images. Registration is carried out by a method based on Active Appearance Models (AAM). Extensions to the basic AAM include clustering of texture vectors in temporal dimension in addition to slice-coupled modelling. A training set for the AAM is generated semi-automatically. This involves implementati...
متن کاملEvaluation of 3D Correspondence Methods for Model Building
The correspondence problem is of high relevance in the construction and use of statistical models. Statistical models are used for a variety of medical application, e.g. segmentation, registration and shape analysis. In this paper, we present comparative studies in three anatomical structures of four different correspondence establishing methods. The goal in all of the presented studies is a mo...
متن کاملAdding Curvature to Minimum Description Length Shape Models
The Minimum Description Length (MDL) approach to shape modelling seeks a compact description of a set of shapes in terms of the coordinates of marks on the shapes. It has been shown that the mark positions resulting from this optimisation to a large extent solve the so-called point correspondence problem: How to select points on shapes defined as curves so that the points correspond across a da...
متن کاملImplementing the Automatic Generation of 3D Statistical Shape Models with ITK
We describe a method to automatically find the point correspondences between a collection of polygonal genus 0 meshes. This correspondence data is the key for building three-dimensional statistical shape models, which have a variety of applications in medical imaging. Our method is based on minimizing a cost function that describes the goodness of correspondence. Apart from a cost function deri...
