This chapter describes a Multi-View Active Appearance Model (AAM) for coherent segmentation of multiple cardiac views. Cootes’ AAM framework was adapted by considering shapes and intensities from multiple views as single shape and intensity samples, while eliminating trivial difference in object pose in different views. This way, the coherence in organ shape and intensities between different views is modeled, and utilized during image search. The method is validated in two substantially different and novel applications: segmentation of combined end- diastolic and end-systolic X-ray left ventricular angiograms, and simultaneous segmentation of a combination of four chamber, two chamber and short-axis cardiac MR views.
