A Riemannian Statistical Shape Model using Differential Coordinates

Please always quote using this URN: urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-61175
  • We propose a novel Riemannian framework for statistical analysis of shapes that is able to account for the nonlinearity in shape variation. By adopting a physical perspective, we introduce a differential representation that puts the local geometric variability into focus. We model these differential coordinates as elements of a Lie group thereby endowing our shape space with a non-Euclidian structure. A key advantage of our framework is that statistics in a manifold shape space become numerically tractable improving performance by several orders of magnitude over state-of-the-art. We show that our Riemannian model is well suited for the identification of intra-population variability as well as inter-population differences. In particular, we demonstrate the superiority of the proposed model in experiments on specificity and generalization ability. We further derive a statistical shape descriptor that outperforms the standard Euclidian approach in terms of shape-based classification of morphological disorders.
