Abstract
Active Shape Model (ASM) has been recognized as one of the typical methods for image understanding. Simply speaking, it iterates two steps: profile-based landmarks local searching, and statistics-based global shape modeling. We argue that the simple 1D profile matching may not localize landmarks accurately enough, and the unreliable localized landmarks will mislead the following shape matching. Considering these two problems, we propose to enhance ASM from two aspects: (1) in the landmarks local searching step, we introduce more efficient AdaBoost method to localize some salient landmarks instead of the relatively simple profile matching as in the traditional ASMs; (2) in the global shape modeling step, the confidences of the landmark localization are exploited to constrain the shape modeling and reconstruction procedure by not using those unreliably located landmarks to eliminate their negative effects. We experimentally show that the proposed strategies can impressively improve the accuracy of the traditional ASMs.
