PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for automatically generating a virtual model of a branched structure using as an input a plurality of images taken of the branched structure.SOLUTION: A computer program for causing a processor to implement a method for creating a virtual model of an anatomical structure employs an algorithm that avoids inaccuracy associated with sub-optimal threshold settings by "patching" holes or leaks created by inconsistency inherent in imaging technology. By "patching" the holes, the algorithm may continue to run using a threshold.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
