UNC SPHARM-PDM Tutorial

SPHARM-PDM (SPherical HARMonic - Point Distribution Model) Slicer3 Tutorial

Overview

SPHARM-PDM is a tool that computes point-based models using a parametric boundary description. The two following tutorials will allow you to perform :

• Step by step analysis: With the ShapeAnalysisModule tutorial,you will learn how to load input volumes, run the module to generate triangulated surfaces with inherent correspondences and visualize them thanks to an intuitive quality control.
• Step by step analysis: With the ShapeAnalysisMANCOVA_Wizard tutorial, you will learn how to use this graphic interface to load meshes, run a group test in order to get statistical result, displayed through MRML scene.
