Abstract
This paper introduces the concept of structured deformable model and presents its application to 3D medical image analysis. A structured deformable model is composed of a group of basic shape elements. A generic model of a biological shape can be build following a growth process controlled by the morphogenesis. This model can be fitted to a specific biological shape by adjusting the parameters of the model based on the information given by a 3D image of the targeted biological structure. An application to bone joint modelling is presented and discussed.
