We propose a new way of embedding shape distributions in a topological deformable template. These distributions rely on global shape descriptors corresponding to the 3D moment inva...
The osteophyte shows only on some particular locations on the vertebra. This indicates that other locations on the vertebra shape contain that are not of interest hinder the spine...
