A probabilistic framework for point-based shape modeling in medical image analysis

This thesis enters on the development of a point-based statistical shape model relying on correspondence probabilities in a sound mathematical framework. Further focus lies on the integration of the model into a segmentation method where a novel approach is taken by combining an explicitly represent...
