Abstract

A Bayesian network formulation for relational shapematching is presented. The main advantage of the relationalshape matching approach is the obviation ofthe non-rigid spatial mappings used by recent non-rigidmatching approaches. The basic variables that need tobe estimated in the relational shape matching objectivefunction are the global rotation and scale and the localdisplacements and correspondences. The new Bethefree energy approach is used to estimate the pairwisecorrespondences between links of the template graphsand the data. The resulting framework is useful inboth registration and recognition contexts. Results areshown on hand-drawn templates and on 2D transverseT1-weighted MR images.
