PURPOSE: Representation of anatomy appearance is one of the key problems in medical image analysis. An appearance model represents the anatomies with parametric forms, which are then vectorised for prior learning, segmentation and classification tasks.
METHODS: We propose a part-based parametric appearance model we refer to as a deformable appearance pyramid (DAP). The parts are delineated by multi-scale local feature pyramids extracted from an image pyramid. Each anatomy is represented by an appearance pyramid, with the variability within a population approximated by local translations of the multi-scale parts and linear appearance variations in the assembly of the parts. We introduce DAPs built on two types of image pyramids, namely Gaussian and wavelet pyramids, and present two approaches to model the prior and fit the model, one explicitly using a subspace Lucas-Kanade algorithm and the other implicitly using the supervised descent method (SDM).
RESULTS: We validate the performance of the DAP instances with difference configurations on the problem of lumbar spinal stenosis for localising the landmarks and classifying the pathologies. We also compare them with classic methods such as active shape models, active appearance models and constrained local models. Experimental results show that the DAP built on wavelet pyramids and fitted with SDM gives the best results in both landmark localisation and classification.
CONCLUSION: A new appearance model is introduced with several configurations presented and evaluated. The DAPs can be readily applied for other clinical problems for the tasks of prior learning, landmark detection and pathology classification.
