Towards a framework for multi class statistical modelling of shape, intensity, and kinematics in medical images by Fouefack, Jean-Rassaire

“…First, a robust registration method for multi-volumetric shapes is described. Both sampling and parametric based registration algorithms are proposed, which allow the establishment of dense correspondence across volumetric shapes (such as tetrahedral meshes) while preserving the spatial relationship between them. …”
