| Content | Statistical shape models are one of the most important technologies in computer vision and medical image analysis. With this technology, the computer learns the characteristic shape variations of an object or organ. The model resulting from this analysis may then be used in implant design, image analysis, surgery planning and many other fields. In this course, you will get insights from mathematics, statistics and machine learning, in order to address practical problems, as well as a theoretical and practical introduction to the open source software Scalismo. This software is used today for the automatic detection of organs in medical images or the design of medical implants. You will come to a point where you can use your acquired skills and knowledge for real-world professional applications or academic research. |
| Learning objectives | At the end of the course the students should be able to - describe how medical images can be analysed using Shape models. - apply the mathematical concept of a Gaussian process to model anatomical shapes - understand Bayesian approaches to medical image analysis - to develop programs for medical image analysis using the open source software scalismo |
| Bibliography | Links to related literature will be given as part of the online course. |
