PROCESSING A SERIES OF IMAGES TO IDENTIFY AT LEAST A PORTION OF AN OBJECT

摘要

A method and system of processing a series of images to identify at least a portion of an object of interest within the images, wherein each image represents at least a part of an environment. The method comprises obtaining a first two-dimensional (2D) image, in which at least one point, having a predetermined property, is labelled as forming at least part of the object of interest;segmenting the first 2D image to identify the at least one region corresponding to the at least one labelled point to identify the at least a portion of the object of interest within the first 2D image; obtaining a second 2D image of the environment; propagating at least a portion of the region from the first 2D image to the second 2D image using three dimensional (3D) geometric data; and segmenting the second 2D image to identify the at least one region having the predetermined property in the second 2D image thereby identifying the at least a portion of the object of interest in the second2D image.
