Objective

The UNC shape analysis framework is an automatic shape correspondence methodology that uses spherical harmonics for sampling (SPHARM-PDM). ShapeAnalysisModule computes point-based models using a parametric boundary description. The point-based models computed with this tool are used to perform statistical studies (within shapeAnalysisMANCOVA) or to get correspondence point Models(within ParticleModule). The goal is to improve the Particle Module. We need to find a way to be sure that the triangulations are not flipped. That is to say, we have to know how to fix a template for the Particle study.

Approach, Plan

Our plan for the project week is to:

• Meet with all interested parties
• Decided how we are going to fix the template
