Hi,

I am new to active shape models (ASM) and I want to use it in my research to do image segmentation.

For using ASM, there should be a training set to generate the shape statistical model: x = xbar+Pb, where xbaris the mean shape and P is the eigenvectors, x is the shapes obtained by changing the shape parameters b.

In my particular case, there is no training set. However, the mean shape is known, so is the shape constraints. Is there a way to use the statistical model? Use simulated shapes for training? But how to mimic the gray-level profile?

Thanks in advance.
