Abstract

An important class of methods for automatic segmentation involves statistically trainable deformable-shape models (SDSMs). The general approach is to apply a SDSM to an image and cause it to undergo a series of deformations converging to a close match between the SDSM and the target anatomic object(s). The deformations are driven by optimizing an objective function with terms for the probability of the geometry of the model, and the goodness of match between the model and the image data. Finding a satisfactory solution for the latter term in general is a challenging research problem.
