Multiscale Shape Segmentation
To represent multiscale variations in a shape population in order to drive the segmentation of deep brain structures, such as the caudate nucleus or the hippocampus.
Description
Shape Representation and Prior
The overview of our shape representation is given in Figure 1. Our technique defines a multiscale parametric model of surfaces belonging to the same population using a compact set of spherical wavelets targeted to that population (Figure 2). We further refine the shape representation by separating into groups wavelet coefficients that describe independent global and/or local biological variations in the population, using spectral graph partitioning. We then learn a prior probability distribution induced over each group to explicitly encode these variations at different scales and spatial locations (Figure 4) [1].
Segmentation
Based on this representation, we derive a parametric active surfaceIn evolution using the multiscale prior coefficients as parameters for our optimization procedure to naturally include the prior for segmentation. Additionally, the optimization method can be applied in a coarse-to-fine manner.
Results
We applied our algorithm to the caudate nucleus, a brain structure of interest in the study of schizophrenia [2]. Our validation shows our algorithm is computationally efficient and outperforms the Active Shape Model (ASM) algorithm, by capturing finer shape details.
