Abstract
Two deformable model methods based on the active surface and the active shape model methods are proposed in this paper for cardiac anatomical model construction. Several extensions to the original work [1,2] are introduced to deal with the segmentation of 4D cardiac images: The image force is calculated through gradient vector flow [3], which is also used in the landmarking for 3D triangle meshes. A multistage segmentation mechanism is proposed integrating the active surface and active shape model methods. This delivers better segmentation results than using either method alone.
