Abstract

We describe two applications of statistical shape analysis. For the differentiation of different types of retroperitoneal tumors appearing in early childhood, we use shape analysis of two-dimensional MRI images. For the analysis of odors in biogas plants, we use shape analysis to interpret the data provided by electronic noses.
