AbstractThis paper describes a comparison of the well known Active Shape Model(ASM) and the new More Active Shape Model (MASM). It is the first time MASM has been implemented and thus also the first time it has been compared to ASM. Both implementations were done in Matlab and the comparison were done on a real case of finding the metacarpals in x-ray images of the left hand. The paper also introduces the idea of using three different regression matrices in MASM, which improves both the search range and final convergence of the model.
KeywordsActive shape model, metacarpals, principal component analysis and regression
