The proposed framework can be used for simulating aging effects on new face images in order to predict how an individual might look like in the future or how he/she used to look in the past and experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the face recognition system can be improved.

It is described how the models can be used in local image search and give examples of their application to medical images, and how the method can be simply extended to segment 3-D objects in volume images and to track structures in image sequences.

A method for building flexible shape models is presented in which a shape is represented by a set of labelled points and a number of modes of variation are determined describing the main ways in which the example shapes tend to deform from the average.

Results are given for several different training sets of two-dimensional boundaries, showing that the proposed method constructs better models than other approaches including manual landmarking-the current gold standard and can be extended straightforwardly to three dimensions.

'Active Shape Models' are described which iteratively adapt to refine estimates of the pose, scale and shape of models of image objects to be a powerful method for refining estimates of object shape and location.
