Abstract. In this paper we introduce the concept of statistical deformation models (SDM) which allow the construction of average models of the anatomy and their variability. SDMs a...

We introduce a new method for segmentation of 3D medical data based on geometric variational principles. A minimal variance criterion is coupled with a geometric edge alignment mea...
