Modelling shape deformations

How can we model typical shape variations mathematically? Watch Marcel Lüthi explain how to model shape deformations using Gaussian Processes.

The central question in shape modelling is how to model the shape variations within a shape family.

In this course, the answer to this question is by means of the normal distribution. In this video we will explain what this means, how we can represent shape changes as deformations, and how the concept of a Gaussian Process can be used to formulate our model assumptions.
