[ITK-users] deformable surface registration

[Audette, Michel A.]

Dear ITK users,



one of my students needs to produce an accurate surface mesh correspondence in conjunction with stats shape aware active surface models, towards a vertebral segmentation application.



Doing a Google search on this, I found a discussion from 2009 http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/insight-users/2009-August/031857.html; I was wondering if there has been progress in this area since then. For example, can the image deformation methods such as Demons and the like be applied to a surface to surface correspondence problem (with further information available such as underlying MRI gradients)?



Our surface meshes relate to vertebral surfaces, so these are not topologically equivalent to spheres; they are more like doughnuts.



Thanks for kind support.



Michel
