Statistical shape and deformation analysis contributes enormously to solving different problems in patient care and physical anthropology, ranging from improved automatic registration and segmentation in medical image computing to the study of genetics, evolution and comparative form in physical anthropology and biology. This book gives a clear description of the concepts, methods, algorithms and techniques developed over the last three decades, followed by examples of their implementation using open source software. Applications of statistical shape and deformation analysis are given for a wide variety of fields, including biology, biometry, anthropology, medical image analysis, and clinical practice. An accessible introduction to the basic concepts, methods, algorithms and techniques in statistical shape and deformation analysisIncludes implementation examples using open source software Covers real-life applications of statistical shape and deformation analysis methods
