[Insight-users] How to get mean shape image instead of vector in itkActiveShapeModelCalculator

[Zachary Pincus]

Hello,

As I mentioned in an earlier email, I believe the 
ActiveShapeModelCalculator class calculates LANDMARK-BASED, not 
IMAGE-BASED shape models. Please read the papers referred to in the 
header documentation of the itkActiveShapeModelCalculator, and the 
Leventon paper that I also referred to earlier, if you want to grasp 
the differences between these approaches.

The mean shape information returned by the ActiveShapeModelCalculator 
(as described in its documentation) is a list of landmark points. To 
get image-based shape models, you need to feed signed distance maps 
into an ImagePCAShapeModelEstimator.
