  1. Active Shape Models:Their Training and ApplicationsCootes, Taylor, et al. Based on Slides of Robert Tamburo, July 6, 2000

  2. Other Deformable Models • “Hand Crafted” Models • Articulated Models • Active Contour Models – “Snakes” • Fourier Series Shape Models • Statistical Models of Shape • Finite Element Models

  3. “Hand Crafted” Models • Built from subcomponents (circles, lines, arcs) • Some degree of freedom • May change scale, orientation, size, and position • Lacks generality • Detailed knowledge of expected shapes • Application specific back

  4. Articulated Models • Built from rigid components connected by sliding or rotating joints • Uses generalized Hough transform • Limited to a restricted class of variable shapes back

  5. Active Contours – “Snakes” • Energy minimizing spline curves • Attracted toward lines and edges • Constraints on stiffness and elastic parameters ensure smoothness and limit degree to which they can bend • Fit using image evidence and applying force to the model and minimize energy function • Uses only local information • Vulnerable to initial position and noise back

  6. Spline Curves • Splines are piecewise polynomial functions of order d • Sum of basis functions with applied weights • Spans joined by knots back

  7. Fourier Series Shape Models • Models formed from Fourier series • Fit by minimizing energy function (parameters) • Contains no prior information • Not suitable for describing general shapes: • Finite number of terms approximates a square corner • Relationship between variations in shape and parameters is not straightforward back

  8. Statistical Models of Shape • Register “landmark” points in N-space to estimate: • Mean shape • Covariance between coordinates • Depends on point sequence back

  9. Finite Element Models • Model variable objects as physical entities with internal stiffness and elasticity • Build shapes from different modes of vibration • Easy to construct compact parameterized shapes next

  10. Motivation – Prior Models • Lack of practicality • Lack of specificity • Lack of generality • Nonspecific class deformation • Local shape constraints

  11. Goals of Active Shape Model (ASM) • Automated • Searches images for represented structures • Classify shapes • Specific to ranges of variation • Robust (noisy, cluttered, and occluded image) • Deform to characteristics of the class represented • “Learn” specific patterns of variability from a training set

  12. Goals of ASM (cont’d.) • Utilize iterative refinement algorithm • Apply global shape constraints • Uncorrelated shape parameters • Better test for dependence?

  13. Point Distribution Model (PDM) • Captures variability of training set by calculating mean shape and main modes of variation • Each mode changes the shape by moving landmarks along straight lines through mean positions • New shapes created by modifying mean shape with weighted sums of modes

  14. Manual Labeling Alignment Statistical Analysis Point Distribution Model PDM Construction

  15. Labeling the Training Set • Represent example shapes by points • Point correspondence between shapes

  16. Aligning the Training Set • xi is a vector of n points describing the ith shape in the set: xi=(xi0, yi0, xi1, yi1,……, xik, yik,……,xin-1, yin-1)T • Minimize: Ej = (xi – M(sj, j)[xk] – tj)TW(xi – M(sj, j)[xk] – tj) • Weight matrix used:

  17. Alignment Algorithm • Align each shape to first shape by rotation, scaling, and translation • Repeat • Calculate the mean shape • Normalize the orientation, scale, and origin of the current mean to suitable defaults • Realign every shape with the current mean • Until the process converges

  18. Mean Normalization • Ensures 4N constraints on 4N variables • Equations have unique solutions • Guarantees convergence • Independent of initial shape aligned to • Iterative method vs. direct solution

  19. Aligned Shape Statistics • PDM models “cloud” variation in 2n space • Assumptions: • Points lie within “Allowable Shape Domain” • Cloud is hyper-ellipsoid (2n-D)

  20. Statistics (cont’d.) • Center of hyper-ellipsoid is mean shape • Axes are found using PCA • Each axis yields a mode of variation • Defined as , the eigenvectors of covariance matrix , such that ,where is the ktheigenvalue of S

  21. Approximation of 2n-D Ellipsoid • Most variation described by t-modes • Choose t such that a small number of modes accounts for most of the total variance • If total variance = and the approximated variance = , then

  22. Generating New Example Shapes • Shapes of training set approximated by: , where is the matrix of the first t eigenvectors and is a vector of weights • Vary bkwithin suitable limits for similar shapes

  23. Application of PDMs • Applied to: • Resistors • “Heart” • Hand • “Worm” model

  24. Resistor Example • 32 points • 3 parameters capture variability

  25. Resistor Example (cont.’d) • Lacks structure • Independence of parameters b1and b2 • Will generate “legal” shapes

  33. Hand Example (cont.’d) • 96% of variability due to first 6 modes • First 3 modes • Vary finger movements

  34. “Worm” Example • 84 shapes • Fixed width • Varying curvature and length

  36. “Worm” Example (cont.’d) • Curved cloud • Mean shape: • Varying width • Improper length

  37. “Worm” Example (cont.’d) • Linearly independent • Nonlinear dependence

  38. “Worm” Example • Effects of varying first 3 parameters: • 1st mode is linear approximation to curvature • 2nd mode is correction to poor linear approximation • 3rd approximates 2nd order bending

  39. PDM Improvements • Automated labeling • 3D PDMs • Nonlinear PDM • Polynomial Regression PDMs • Multi-layered PDMs • Hybrid PDMs • Chord Length Distribution Model • Approximation problem

  40. PDMs to Search an Image - ASMs • Estimate initial position of model • Displace points of model to “better fit” data • Adjust model parameters • Apply global constraints to keep model “legal”

  41. Adjusting Model Points • Along normal to model boundary proportional to edge strength • Vector of adjustments:

  42. where Calculating Changes in Parameters • Initial position: • Move Xas close to new position (X + dX) • Calculate dxto move X to X + dX • Update parameters to better fit image • Not usually consistent with model constraints • Residual adjustments made by deformation

  43. Model Parameter Space • Transforms dx to parameter space giving allowable changes in parameters, db • Recall: • Find db such that • - yields • Update model parameters within limits

  44. Applications • Medical • Industrial • Surveillance • Biometrics

  45. ASM Application to Resistor • 64 points (32 type III) • Adjustments made finding strongest edge • Profile 20 pixels long • 5 degrees of freedom • 30, 60, 90, 120 iterations
