Presented the MSc student project within the scope of the Image Processing Special Programme course titled „Image Registration”, lectured by Dr. Attila Tanács.
The aim was to get familiar with the basic concepts and techniques of statistical analysis of shapes and to use Principal Component Analysis for modeling shape variation. Since the literature on these topics is quite rich, the present documentation does not contain minute details, instead presents the listed methods and the chosen approach through a thorough example. The development environment is MATLAB, which has plenty data analysis options, image processing tools and easy data visualization, among other things.
This documentation is organized in a step‐by‐step fashion, presenting the theory along with the required MATLAB code to solve the actual task described for a given step. In case several possible solutions and approaches exist to a sub-problem, a reference is made to the literature detailing other options, latter entries can be found in the bibliography.
