Abstract

The developments in 3D imaging and the availability of commercial equipment for collecting 3D surfaces of objects has created an opportunity for new science in applying these imaging techniques to variable objects. We build on our experience of developing and using shape models (2D) to aid the segmentation and interpretation of images. The extenssion of this expertise to the collection and handling of 3D shape data would be very relevant to applications such as estimating meat yield on poultry carcasses, condition monitoring of dairy cows and monitoring the conformation of breeding stock. We will adapt and extend existing techniques for handling and modelling 3D data to allow for partially closed surfaces, deformable objects, and using prior knowledge. We will develop techniques for allocating shapes to categories in high dimensional space. This will include methods for aligning the data, and for finding and labelling clusters in a high-dimensional space.
