Shape Particle Filtering for Image Segmentation

Deformable template models are valuable tools in medical image segmentation. Current methods elegantly incorporate global shape and appearance, but can not cope with localized appearance variations and rely on an assumption of Gaussian gray value distribution. Furthermore, initialization near the optimal solution is required.
