This paper presents spatiotemporal statistical models of organ surfaces during human embryonic development, in which size, shape, and topology of organs are dynamically changed. The modeling scheme comprised two steps: (1) each temporal stage of an embryo was statistically modeled, and (2) models between neighboring temporal stages were interpolated. This paper includes optimization of interpolation techniques and a novel method for modeling nested shapes, such as brain and ventricular surfaces. The effectiveness of our method was demonstrated in the context of statistical modeling of a human embryo from the Kyoto Collection.
