How to Shape Model - Part 4 - Deformable template / Kernel design

11 minute read

Published:

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to define the space of deformations our template mesh can undergo. So we will go from a static mesh, to a parameterized model that defines a space of deformations on the template, which we e.g. can randomly sample from to visually see the space of deformations.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to design the reference shape of your shape model. We’ll go from this noisy segmented mesh to a clean and smooth mesh which will dramatically improve the usefulness of our shape model.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you different methods to rigidly align your dataset. We will go from randomly aligned meshes to a well-aligned set of meshes from where it is much simpler to establish point-correspondence.
