Abstract

In this paper, we develop an algorithm to compute the mean shape of a collection of planar curves for the computation of the mean shape of a collection of organs. We first define the relative distortion of a pair of curves using curvatures of curves. Then, we derive the mean of curves as the curve which minimises the total distortion of a collection of shapes.
