Abstract
This paper describes a technique for building compact models of the sh ape and appearance of flexible objects (such as organs) seen in 2D ima ges. The models are derived from the statistics of labelled images con taining examples of the objects. Each model consists of a flexible sha pe template, describing how the relevant locations of important points on the objects can vary, and a statistical model of the expected grey levels in a region around each model point. We describe how the model s can be used in local image search, and give examples of their applic ation to medical images.
