The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient increases with 11.2\% for the Styku method compared to the other methods.

It brings a skeletonized reference model of an individual human hand into correspondence with optical 3D surface scans of hands by sequentially applying articulation-based registration and elastic surface registration. Registered surfaces are then fed into a statistical shape modelling algorithm based on principal component analysis. The model-building technique has been evaluated on a dataset of optical scans from 100 healthy individuals, acquired with a 3dMD scanning system. It is shown that our registration framework provides accurate geometric and anatomical alignment, and that the shape basis of the resulting statistical model provides a compact representation of the specific population. The model also provides insight into the anatomical variation of the lower arm and hand, which is useful information for the design of well-fitting products.},

Unfortunately, triangle meshes are not well supported by CAD software where spline geometry dominates. Therefore, we propose a methodology to convert databases of pre-corresponded triangle meshes into multi-patch B-spline SSMs. An evaluation on four 3D scan databases shows that our method is able to generate accurate and water-tight models while preserving inter-subject correspondences by construction. In addition, we demonstrate that such SSMs can be used to generate design manikins which can be readily used in SolidWorks for designing well conforming product parts.},

In this study, we evaluated variation in women{\textquoteright}s preference for male facial masculinity in a forced-choice experiment. Nearly 1200 participants scored preference for manipulated photos and surface scans. Between-individual variation in preferences were relatively small, especially for the evaluation of the surface scans. Nevertheless, preferences from the evaluations of photos and scans correlated positively, indicating that both stimuli provide similar biological information. Only few condition-dependent variables correlated significantly with preference for masculinity, and not all in predicted directions. Stronger preference for masculine male faces {\textendash} albeit only significant for the photos {\textendash} with higher own women attractiveness was observed as expected. Yet, for perceived infectability, consistently across the photos and scans, a negative association with preference for masculine faces was observed, which is opposite to theoretical predictions. In addition, no effects of pathogen exposure, germ aversion (a correlate of disgust), relational status, preference for short term relationships and sociosexuality were detected. Thus, overall, our study is in line with recent large studies that also find only very weak conditiondependent effects, if any.},

	abstract = {Background
Foot morphology has received increasing attention from both biomechanics researches and footwear manufacturers. Usually, the morphology of the foot is quantified by 2D footprints. However, footprint quantification ignores the foot{\textquoteright}s vertical dimension and hence, does not allow accurate quantification of complex 3D foot shape.

Methods
The shape variation of healthy 3D feet in a population of 31 adult women and 31 adult men who live in Belgium was studied using geometric morphometric methods. The effect of different factors such as sex, age, shoe size, frequency of sport activity, Body Mass Index (BMI), foot asymmetry, and foot loading on foot shape was investigated. Correlation between these factors and foot shape was examined using multivariate linear regression.

Results
The complex nature of a foot{\textquoteright}s 3D shape leads to high variability in healthy populations. After normalizing for scale, the major axes of variation in foot morphology are (in order of decreasing variance): arch height, combined ball width and inter-toe distance, global foot width, hallux bone orientation (valgus-varus), foot type (e.g. Egyptian, Greek), and midfoot width. These first six modes of variation capture 92.59\% of the total shape variation. Higher BMI results in increased ankle width, Achilles tendon width, heel width and a thicker forefoot along the dorsoplantar axis. Age was found to be associated with heel width, Achilles tendon width, toe height and hallux orientation. A bigger shoe size was found to be associated with a narrow Achilles tendon, a hallux varus, a narrow heel, heel expansion along the posterior direction, and a lower arch compared to smaller shoe size. Sex was found to be associated with differences in ankle width, Achilles tendon width, and heel width. Frequency of sport activity was associated with Achilles tendon width and toe height.

Conclusion
A detailed analysis of the 3D foot shape, allowed by geometric morphometrics, provides insights in foot variations in three dimensions that can not be obtained from 2D footprints. These insights could be applied in various scientific disciplines, including orthotics and shoe design.},

This allowed us to include surface information on the incudomallear (IM) complex (joint, ligaments and tendon not included) of 123 healthy ears with a scanning resolution of 150~μm and without a priori assumptions. Statistical shape modeling yields an average geometry for the IM complex and the variations present in the population with a high precision. Mean values, variation and correlations among anatomical features (length of manubrium, combined length of malleus head and neck, lengths of incus long and short process, enclosing angles, ossicular lever ratio, incudomallear angle, and principal moments of inertia) are reported and compared to results from the literature. Most variation is found in overall size and the angle between incus and malleus. The compact representation provided by statistical shape modeling is demonstrated and its benefits for surface modeling are discussed.},

	abstract = {Introduction
Statistical shape modeling is a promising approach to map out the variability of a population. By adapting the parameters of the shape model, a new, realistic surface can be obtained. In this work, the framework for surface registration and building a statistical shape model of fruit is described.

Method
The framework consists of two parts. First, a reference surface is registered to each fruit. Based on the correspondences that resulted from this surface registration, a statistical shape model is built. In the surface registration part, a reference surface is registered to a target surface, such that the geometric distance between those surfaces becomes minimal while maintaining correspondences. The second part of our framework consists of building a statistical shape model based on the correspondences that resulted from the surface registration (Fig. 1). The model is built by performing principal
components analysis on the corresponding points matrix of the population. In this model, the mean surface and the main shape modes are captured.
Parametrization of a surface is the task of defining a map between the surface and a simple parameter domain, such as a cylinder or sphere, so each fruit in the model can be described using basis functions, such as B-splines. This is a very compact representation and is useful in CAD and finite-element environments, so the models can be used for simulations.

Results
Experiments resulted in better correspondences than the current state-of-the-art. This means that our shape model is a good representation of the population and adapting the shape model parameters will lead to a realistic surface.

Applications
Possible applications of a statistical shape model of fruit are predicting the final size of the fruit, search for correlations between stages of growth, estimate the volume from a single view and evaluation of the effect of the fruit shape on airflow characteristics to obtain cooling uniformity.},

	abstract = {In this paper, a method for building a 3D statistical shape model of the apple is described. The framework consists of two parts. First, a reference surface is registered to each apple surface, derived from 3D CT scans of apples, of the population to obtain meaningful correspondences between the shapes. In the second part, the corresponded surfaces are used to build a statistical shape model from the population of apples. This model maps out the variability within the population and by adapting the shape model parameters, new, realistic surfaces can be obtained. By parameterizing the surface, an apple can be described with a compact set of basis functions, which has applications in surface fitting description, recognition, or meshing, e.g. for storage simulation. The constructed apple shape model is tested on performance and has proven to be a good representation of the population and can be used in many applications.},

	abstract = {The human body comes in many sizes and shapes. For design purposes, it is useful to be able to quickly simulate a virtual mannequin of a customer. A statistical shape model can be used for this purpose, because it describes the main variations of body shape inside the model{\textquoteright}s population. From this model, the specific features of each person in the population are known. Therefore, a mapping between the shape model parameters and specific features can be calculated, which allows adjusting the body shape, in an intuitive way. In this work, we have investigated how accurate a body shape can be predicted based on a set of features and which features are most suitable for this purpose. Height, weight, and hip circumference appeared to be the most suitable features to accurately predict the body shape.},

	title = {Statistical shape modeling of the incudomalleolar complex using micro-CT and clinical cone-beam CT},
	year = {2015},
	month = {July},
	address = {Aalborg, Denmark},
	abstract = {Introduction: A large variation in material properties and geometry exists in the human temporal bone. These variations can affect hearing and middle ear sound transmission. Middle ear computer (finite element, FE) models are successfully used to predict sound transmission and its dependence on material properties. The model geometry, however, is mostly based on data of a single sample. Here we use statistical shape models (SSM) to characterize the natural anatomical variations present in the incudomalleolar (IM) complex of humans. SSM can later be used in FE models to study the effect of geometry on sound transmission, or parameters can be fitted to clinical CT data to obtain a patient-specific computer model.

Methods and Materials: In this study we combine data of high resolution micro-CT scans (uCT, 20 um resolution) of 6 human cadaveric temporal bones and clinical cone-beam CT scans (CBCT, 150 um resolution) of 100 patients. First, a dense correspondence between the uCT samples is obtained by pair-wise elasticity modulated registration of a reference sample to each of the remaining samples. A SSM is built from these corresponded scans using principal component analysis (PCA), describing the average shape and the main variations of the middle ear within the uCT population. Next this SSM is fitted to clinical CBCT data by elastic registration with the SSM as shape prior.

Results and conclusions: We will obtain an average geometrical model for malleus, incus and IM complex and characterize the deviations present in the patient population. We will do this by reporting natural variation of size and thickness of malleus head, neck and manubrium, the long and short process of the incus and relative angles in the IM complex.},

correspondence, and timing compared to the current state of

of correspondences for shape models, reconstruction of missing
