Segmentation of Single-Figure Objects by Deformable M-reps

This paper describes the basis and behavior of segmentation of single figures in 3D by deformable m-reps models. Results are given for the segmentation of kidneys from CT and of hippocampi from MR images. Special focus is made on multi-scale-level stages of segmentation, on intrinsic correspondences under deformation that are provided by m-reps, and on the match against model-relative templates provided by both theoretical edge strength templates and templates derived from training images.
