Hello Scalismo!

Get familiar with the Scalismo Lab environment and learn how to use it to read 3D surfaces, medical images and statistical shape models from file and display them in a …

Installation of Scalismo Lab

Welcome to Scalismo Lab! In this environment simple Scalismo programming can be done, with no Integrated Development Environment (IDE) required. This document will guide you through the installation procedure. Where …

What is Scalismo?

Get to know the software environment you will be using in the course. In this video we present you our open source shape modelling library Scalismo and give you a …

How does this course work?

Thank you for enrolling in our course on shape modelling. We are very much looking forward to working with you over the next eight weeks. During this time you will …

Introducing the course

Welcome to Statistical Shape Modelling! Welcome to our course Statistical Shape Modelling: Computing the Human Anatomy. Over the next eight weeks, you will learn to use our shape modelling software …

Multivariate normal distribution

In this course we will make the assumption that shape variations can be modelled using a normal distribution. In this video we will review the basics of multivariate normal distributions …

Saying goodbye

Thank you for joining this course on statistical shape modelling. We hope you enjoyed this course as much as we did. We hope to see you again, either on the …

Shape modelling for the analysis of 2D images

And here is yet another application of shape modelling: the reconstruction of 3D face models from 2D photographs. In this interview, Professor Vetter explains why this is an important task …

Shape modelling in biological anthropology

In this course we have been focussing mainly on medical applications of shape modelling. Here we take you on a visit to Dr Stefan Schlager, a biological anthropologist who also …

Finding correspondences in an image

What to do when given a model and an image to fit? Here we familiarise ourselves with the notion of intensity models in Scalismo. We then learn how to build …

The Active Shape Model fitting algorithm

We have demonstrated basic ideas for fitting a shape model to an image. The algorithm utilises ideas from the well-known Active Shape Model (ASM) approach and combines these with the …

Fitting models to images

As the final step in our exploration of shape models, we show in this video how we can fit a shape model to an image. We will discuss the segmentation …
