Global Medical Shape Analysis Using the Laplace-Beltrami Spectrum
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes to use the Laplace-Beltrami spectrum (LBS) as a global shape descriptor for medical shape analysis, allowing for shape comparisons using minimal shape preprocessing: no registration, mapping, or remeshing is necessary. The discriminatory power of the method is tested on a population of female caudate shapes of normal control subjects and of subjects with schizotypal personality disorder.

Shape-based Transfer Function Using Laplace-Beltrami Operator
We exploit the Laplace-Beltrami operator to represent shapes which in turn is used for designing a shape based transfer function for volume rendering. Laplace-Beltrami spectral measures are isometry invariant and are one of the most powerful ways to represent shape, also called “Shape-DNA”. Isosurfaces are extracted from the volume data and the Laplace-Beltrami operator is applied on these extr...
متن کاملThe Laplace-Beltrami Operator: A Ubiquitous Tool for Image and Shape Processing
The ubiquity of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in shape analysis can be seen by observing the wide variety of applications where it has been found to be useful. Here we demonstrate a small subset of such uses with their latest developments including a scale invariant transform for general triangulated meshes, an effective and efficient method for denoising meshes using Beltrami flows via high di...
متن کاملSimilarity Detection Algorithms for CAD Models
This document presents two spectral methods for shape matching and recognition. Our first method computes the Laplace-Beltrami spectra on a domain to describe its shape. Since the spectrum is an isometry invariant and contains geometrical information, it is optimally suited for shape analysis and shape matching of geometric data. We have recently focused on global shape comparison with an appli...
متن کاملLaplace-Beltrami operator on Digital Curves
Many problems in image analysis, digital processing and shape optimization are expressed as variational problems and involve the discritization of laplacians. Indeed, PDEs containing Laplace-Beltrami operator arise in surface fairing, mesh smoothing, mesh parametrization, remeshing, feature extraction, shape matching, etc. The discretization of the laplace-Beltrami operator has been widely stud...
متن کاملIntrinsic Mesh Segmentation
Mesh segmentation offers a desirable divide-and-conquer strategy for many graphics applications. In this paper, we present a novel, efficient, and intrinsic method to segment meshes following the minima rule. The eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator define locality and volume-shape preserving functions over a surface. Inspired on Manifold learning theory, we use these functions as th...
