Deformable Models: Classic, Topology-Adaptive and Generalized Formulations

  • Chapter
Geometric Level Set Methods in Imaging, Vision, and Graphics

Abstract

“Deformable models” refers to a class of physics-based modeling methods with an extensive track record in computer vision, medical imaging, computer graphics, geometric design, and related areas. Unlike the Eulerian (fluid) formulations associated with level set methods, deformable models are characterized by Lagrangian (solid) formulations, three variants of which are reviewed herein.
