Automated Expansion of Statistical Shape Model Training Set for Femur

Active Shape Model (ASM) uses Statistical Shape Model (SSM) to fit the manually labeled landmark point in Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) scan and segment the femur from the MRI scan. The SSM is trained from a training set containing 275 complete femur meshes. In general, with more femur meshes in the training set, there would be more shape...

Landmark Influence Visualization in Active Shape Models

Segmentation of shapes in Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) data is a non-trivial problem. Active Shape Models (ASM) is an approach that attempts to fit a Statistical Shape Model to landmarks. One possible approach is to let a user fit the model onto the MRI data by placing landmarks for ASM. Usually, the user can only see the global fit of the...
