Abstract

In this paper, we propose a unified framework for global-to-local groupwise shape registration based on an unbiased diffeomorphic shape atlas. We introduce the information-theoretic concept of entropy as the energy functional for shape registration. To this end, for given example shapes, we estimate the underlying shape distribution on the space of signed distance functions in a nonparametric way. We then perform global-to-local shape registration by minimizing the shape entropy estimate and entropy of displacement vector field. In addition, the gradient flow for the shape entropy is derived explicitly using the L 2-distance in Hilbert space for a template shape estimation. Diffeomorphisms which are estimated by rigid/nonrigid registrations obviously establish dense correspondences between an example shape and the template shape. In addition, the composition rule gives a way to establish consistent correspondences by guaranteeing another diffeomorphism.
