Automatic construction of statistical shape models using deformable simplex meshes with vector field convolution energy

Abstract Background In the active shape model framework, principal component analysis (PCA) based statistical shape models (SSMs) are widely employed to incorporate high-level a priori shape knowledge of the structure to be segmented to achieve robustness. A crucial component of building SSMs is to...
