• Abstract: Particle-based shape modeling (PSM) is a family of approaches that automatically quantifies shape variability across anatomical cohorts by positioning particles (pseudo landmarks) on shape surfaces in a consistent configuration. Recent advances incorporate implicit radial basis function representations as self-supervised signals to better capture the complex geometric properties of anatomical structures. However, these methods still lack self-adaptivity -- that is, the ability to automatically adjust particle configurations to local geometric features of each surface, which is essential for accurately representing complex anatomical variability. This paper introduces two mechanisms to increase surface adaptivity while maintaining consistent particle configurations: (1) a novel neighborhood correspondence loss to enable high adaptivity and (2) a geodesic correspondence algorithm that regularizes optimization to enforce geodesic neighborhood consistency. We evaluate the efficacy and scalability of our approach on challenging datasets, providing a detailed analysis of the adaptivity-correspondence trade-off and benchmarking against existing methods on surface representation accuracy and correspondence metrics.

  Particle-based shape modeling is a popular approach to quantify shape variability in populations of anatomies. We propose an adaptation of this method using a traditional optimization approach that allows more precise control over the desired characteristics of models. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach to state-of-the-art methods on two real datasets and justify our choice of losses empirically.
