Autodelineation using ASMs
Psychomorph has a built in auto-delineation system using Active Shape Models. These shape models can be constructed from a set of pre-delineated images or a set can be downloaded from our website. Downloading and Installation. To install, unzip the ASM files into a new directory. Each ASM is composed of multiple files; all must be in the same directory in order to correctly function. Each ASM should be installed in a separate directory to avoid conflicts.
