Abstract

We propose a method for creating a 3-D statistical shape model of the left ventricle from sets of sparse 2-D contour inputs. Since the input contours may not delineate consistent portions of the underlying organ from subject to subject, we apply a model-based approach to make associations (landmarks) between training examples. Included is a measure of confidence in these created landmarks. Statistics on the model shape are garnered via principal component analysis. The results of applying the technique to a 14 subject database are presented.
