A Survey on Deformable Model and its Applications to Medical Imaging {tag} {/tag} RTIPPR © 2010 by IJCA Journal Number 2 - Article 7 Year of Publication: 2010 Authors: Ravindra Hegadi Arpana Kop Mallikarjun Hangarge {bibtex}spe101t.bib{/bibtex} Abstract Deformable models provide a promising and vigorously researched model-based approach to computer-assisted medical image analysis. The widely recognized potency of deformable models stems from their ability to segment, match, and track images of anatomic structures by exploiting (bottom-up) constraints derived from the image data together with (top-down) a priori knowledge about the location, size, and shape of these structures. In this paper, a survey of deformable models and their latest extensions are presented. 1 / 5
