The most complex aspect of the mesh-to-mesh correspondence in this case lies in the fact the source (model) and the target mesh can differ largely (partial view of the femur, anatomy that lies away from the mean) which makes common correspondence approaches inefficient. In this paper, we introduce a contribution to an algorithm from the field of object recognition that produces a reliable registration. By adding the concept of global deformability in the algorithm, we are able to improve the precision of the algorithm (mean mesh-to-mesh distance improved from 2.77mm to 0.79mm) and its robustness to anatomy far off the mean (better standard deviation and Hausdorff distance) on synthetic data . The next step will be to assess it in its application field i.e. the automatic localization of knee landmarks for the design of patient-specific knee prosthesis.Keyphrases: automatic landmarks localization, custom implant, knee surgery, pose estimation, preoperative planning, registration, statistical shape model In: Ferdinando Rodriguez Y Baena and Fabio Tatti (editors).
