Objective

The UNC shape analysis framework is an automatic approach employing sampled spherical harmonics (SPHARM-PDM). ShapeAnalysisModule computes point-based models using a parametric boundary description. The goal is to be able to use the point-based models computed with this tool to perform statistical studies (within shapeAnalysisMANCOVA) or to get correspondence point Models(within ParticleModule).

Approach, Plan

Progress

shapeAnalysisMANCOVA_Wizard can be use either though command line or within Slicer and whatever the choise, the mrml scene will be displayed in Slicer3 at the end. The shapeAnalysisMANCOVA_Wizard's window is now resizable.
