Stage 1 - Initial Load

The first stage of building the shape model is to bring in the first set of images and generate landmarks from them. The following figure illustrates the general process of this stage.

• Insert the figure here.

First, the images are imported into the SPC system and converted into the SPC internal format. Then the alignment of the images is improved. Next, a set of initial landmarks is generated with a GSD of 120cm at a spacing of 20 degrees. Batch processing then generates the topography and improves the landmark registration.

The following table details the steps, specific procedures and the programs used to accomplish this stage:

First, you will import the images into the SPC system and convert them into the SPC internal format. Then, you will improve the alignment of the images. Next, you will generate a set of initial landmarks with a GSD of 120cm at a spacing of 20 degrees. Finally, you will use batch processing to generate the topography and improve the landmark registration.
