Figure 1

Energy function of the deformable model. C(s)=(x(s),y(s)) is the parameterized contour (endo- and epicardial), P(B) is the histogram of blood pool and P(M) as the histogram of myocardium. Ba(f/g) is the Bhattacharyya coefficient measuring the amount of overlap between two statistical samples f and g. Shape is the Fourier descriptors of the discretized contour. Each contour is constrained by the corresponding cine contour shape, and by myocardial thickness.
