Purpose: Despite the success of total knee arthroplasty there continues to be a significant proportion of patients who are dissatisfied. One explanation may be a shape mismatch between pre and post-operative distal femurs. The purpose of this study was to investigate a method to match a statistical shape model (SSM) to intra-operatively acquired point cloud data from a surgical navigation system, and to validate it against the pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from the same patients.
Methods: A total of 10 patients who underwent navigated total knee arthroplasty also had an MRI scan less than 2 months pre-operatively. The standard surgical protocol was followed which included partial digitization of the distal femur. Two different methods were employed to fit the SSM to the digitized point cloud data, based on (1) Iterative Closest Points (ICP) and (2) Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM). The available MRI data were manually segmented and the reconstructed three-dimensional surfaces used as ground truth against which the statistical shape model fit was compared.
Results: For both approaches, the difference between the statistical shape model-generated femur and the surface generated from MRI segmentation averaged less than 1.7 mm, with maximum errors occurring in less clinically important areas.
Conclusion: The results demonstrated good correspondence with the distal femoral morphology even in cases of sparse data sets. Application of this technique will allow for measurement of mismatch between pre and post-operative femurs retrospectively on any case done using the surgical navigation system and could be integrated into the surgical navigation unit to provide real-time feedback.

3D Morphable Models (MM) are a popular tool for analysis and synthesis of facial expressions. They represent plausible variations in facial shape and appearance within a low-dimensional parameter space. Fitted to a face scan, the model's parameters compactly encode its expression patterns. This expression code can be used, for instance, as a feature in automatic facial expression recognition. For accurate classification, an MM that can adequately represent the various characteristic facets and variants of each expression is necessary. Currently available MMs are limited in the diversity of expression patterns. We present a novel high-quality Facial Expression Morphable Model built from a large-scale face database as a tool for expression analysis and synthesis. Establishment of accurate dense correspondence, up to finest skin features, enables a detailed statistical analysis of facial expressions. Various characteristic shape patterns are identified for each expression. The results of our analysis give rise to a new facial expression code. We demonstrate the advantages of such a code for the automatic recognition of expressions, and compare the accuracy of our classifier to state-of-the-art.
