Spatio-temporal feature descriptors are of great importance for characterizing the local changes of 3D deformable shapes. In this study, we propose a method for characterizing 3D shapes from point clouds and we show a direct application on a study of organ temporal deformations. As an example, we characterize the behavior of the bladder during forced respiratory motion with a reduced number of 3D surface points: first, a set of equidistant points representing the vertices of quadrilateral mesh for the organ surface are tracked throughout a long dynamic MRI sequence using a large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM) framework. Second, a novel 3D shape descriptor invariant to translation, scale and rotation is proposed for characterizing the temporal organ deformations by employing an Eulerian Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) methodology. We demonstrate the robustness of our feature on both synthetic 3D shapes and realistic dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data sequences portraying the bladder deformation during a forced breathing exercise. Promising results are obtained, showing that the proposed feature may be useful for several computer vision applications such as medical imaging, aerodynamics and robotics.
