Statistical shape models (SSMs) have by now been firmly established as a robust tool for
segmentation of medical images. While 2D models have been in use since the early 1990s …

This paper presents a comprehensive survey of facial feature point detection with the
assistance of abundant manually labeled images. Facial feature point detection favors many …

Model-based vision is firmly established as a robust approach to recognizing and locating
known rigid objects in the presence of noise, clutter, and occlusion. It is more problematic to …

This paper describes a technique for building compact models of the shape and appearance
of flexible objects (such as organs) seen in 2D images. The models are derived from the …

We present a technique for locating landmarks in images of human faces. We replace the
1D gradient profiles of the classical Active Shape Model (ASM)(Cootes and Taylor, 1993) …

Monitoring, recording, and predicting livestock body weight (BW) allows for timely
intervention in diets and health, greater efficiency in genetic selection, and identification of …

Over the last two decades, face alignment or localizing fiducial facial points on 2D images
has received increasing attention owing to its comprehensive applications in automatic face …

We propose a new 3D/2D registration method for vertebrae of the scoliotic spine, using two
conventional radiographic views (postero-anterior and lateral), and a priori global …

This paper reports a novel method for fully automated segmentation that is based on
description of shape and its variation using point distribution models (PDM's). An …

This paper introduces a novel camera mouse driven by 3D model based visual face tracking
technique. While camera becomes standard configuration for personal computer (PC) and …
