2011 Summer Project Week Shape Analysis UNC
Scatter plot of the original FA data through the genu of the corpus callosum of a normal brain.
Regression of FA data; solid line represents the mean and dotted lines the standard deviation.

Objective
The UNC shape analysis framework is an automatic approach employing sampled spherical harmonics (SPHARM-PDM). ShapeAnalysisModule computes point-based models using a parametric boundary description. The point-based models computed with this tool are used to perform statistical studies (within shapeAnalysisMANCOVA) or to get correspondence point Models(within ParticleModule). The goal is to improve the Particle Module. We need to find a way to be sure that the triangulations, we have at the end, are not flipped. That is to say, we have to know how to fix a template for the Particle study.
Approach, Plan
Our plan for the project week is to:
- Meet with all interested parties
- Decided how we are going to fix the template
