Applications of Direct Similarity Shape Analysis in Medical Imaging
Victor Patrangenaru, Leif Ellingson · 2015
As an application of the theoretical results in Chapter 13, here we give a large sample confidence region for the extrinsic mean shape of a configuration of eight landmarks obtained from X-rays of midfaces of clinically healthy eight year old children in terms of simultaneous confidence intervals for the affine coordinates of the extrinsic sample mean shape. We also illustrate a test for the difference between 3D mean shapes in a problem involving the detection of glaucomatous mean shape change.
