چکیده

Knowledge about the biological variability of anatomical objects is essential for statistical shape analysis and discrimination between healthy and pathological structures. This paper describes a novel approach that incorporates variability of an object population into the generation of a characteristic 3D shape model. The proposed shape representation is a coarse-scale sampled medial description derived from a fine-scale spherical harmonics (SPHARM) boundary description. This medial description is composed of a net of medial samples (m-rep) with fixed graph properties. The medial model is computed automatically from a predefined shape space using pruned 3D Voronoi skeletons to determine the stable medial branching topology. An intrinsic coordinate system and an implicit correspondence between shapes is defined on the medial manifold. Our novel representation describes shape and shape changes in a natural and intuitive fashion. Several studies of biological structures are presented. A new medial shape similarity study of group differences between Monozygotic and Dizygotic twins in lateral ventricle shape demonstrates the meaningful and powerful representation of local and global form. 6/09/2001; 11:27; p.1 Shape analysis based on medial models 2

Three-Dimensional Medial Shape Representation Incorporating Object Variability

This paper presents a novel processing scheme for the automatic computation of a medial shape model which is representative for an object population with shape variability. The sensitivity of medial descriptions to object variations and small boundary perturbations are fundamental problems of any skeletonization technique. These problems are approached with the computation of a model with commo...

Population-Based Fitting of Medial Shape Models with Correspondence Optimization

A crucial problem in statistical shape analysis is establishing the correspondence of shape features across a population. While many solutions are easy to express using boundary representations, this has been a considerable challenge for medial representations. This paper uses a new 3-D medial model that allows continuous interpolation of the medial manifold and provides a map back and forth be...
