Abstract :
Presents a general scheme for the building of anatomical atlases. The authors propose to use specific and stable features, the “crest lines” or ridge lines which are automatically extracted from 3D images by differential geometry operators. The authors have developed nonrigid registration techniques and got encouraging results for the building of a first atlas of the crest lines of the skull based on several CT-scan images of different patients
