Abstract

This short paper presents a deformable surface registration scheme which is based on the statistical shape
modelling technique. The method consists of two major processing stages, model building and model
fitting. A statistical shape model is first built using a set of training data. Then the model is deformed and
matched to the new data by a modified iterative closest point (ICP) registration process. The proposed
method is tested on real 3-D facial data from BU-3DFE database. It is shown that proposed method can
achieve a reasonable result on surface registration, and can be used for patient position monitoring in
radiation therapy and potentially can be used for monitoring of the radiation therapy progress for head and
neck patients by analysis of facial articulation.
