The shape of a population of geometric entities is characterized by both the common geometry of the population and the variability among instances. In the deformable model approach...

This paper presents a statistical shape model for automatic skull stripping of MR brain images. A surface model of the brain boundary is hierarchically represented by a set of ove...
The levator ani is vulnerable to injury during childbirth and effective surgical intervention requires full knowledge of the morphology and mechanical properties of the muscle stru...

We propose a method for estimating confidence regions around shapes predicted from partial observations, given a statistical shape model. Our method relies on the estimation of the...
—In this paper, we present a new model for deformations of shapes. A pseudolikelihood is based on the statistical distribution of the gradient vector field of the gray level. The...
