New deep shape regression model analyzes planar curves for health applications

Researchers have developed a novel deep shape regression model designed to analyze the geometric properties of planar curves, particularly in health applications like neuroimaging. This model can handle multimodal and high-dimensional covariates, offering invariance to translation, rotation, and scaling of input curves. It also accommodates sparsely and irregularly sampled data, with an algorithm for elastic mean estimation that removes parametrization effects. The method has been demonstrated on simulated data and applied to hippocampal outlines from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort, yielding results consistent with existing literature.
