چکیده
1 This is an ongoing draft of a report describing our work on Active Shape Models and Active Appearance Models. Hopefully it will be expanded to become more comprehensive, when I get the time. My apologies for the missing and incomplete sections and the inconsistancies in notation. TFC

Deformable Object Modelling and Matching
Statistical models of the shape and appearance of deformable objects have become widely used in Computer Vision and Medical Image Analysis. Here we give an overview of such models and of two efficient algorithms for matching such models to new images (Active Shape Models and Active Appearance Models). We also describe recent work on automatically constructing such models from minimally labelled...
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 کاملShape and Appearance Information Integration in Medical Image Analysis and Computer Vision
OF THE DISSERTATION Shape and Appearance Information Integration in Medical Image Analysis and Computer Vision by Xiaolei Huang Dissertation Director: Prof. Dimitris N. Metaxas In many fundamental problems in medical image analysis and computer vision, object shape and appearance are two important sources of information that when integrated, provide more reliable image interpretation. In this t...
متن کاملRobustly Estimating Changes in Image Appearance
We propose a generalized model of image “appearance change” in which brightness variation over time is represented as a probabilistic mixture of different causes. We define four generative models of appearance change due to (1) object or camera motion; (2) illumination phenomena; (3) specular reflections; and (4) “iconic changes” which are specific to the objects being viewed. These iconic chan...
متن کاملAn improved statistical model of appearance under partial occlusion
The Appearance Models (AMs) are widely used in many applications related to face recognition, expression analysis and computer vision. Despite its popularity, the AMs are not much more accurate due to partial occlusion. Therefore, the authors have developed Robust Normalization Inverse Compositional Image Alignment (RNICIA) algorithm to solve partial occlusion problem. However, the RNICIA algor...
