发明名称 Compound object separation
摘要 Representations of an object can comprise two or more separate sub-objects, producing a compound object. Compound objects can affect the quality of object visualization and threat identification. As provided herein, a compound object can be separated into sub-objects based on object morphological properties (e.g., an object's shape, surface area). Further, a potential compound object can be split into sub-objects, for example, eroding one or more outer layers of volume space (e.g., voxels) from the potential compound object. Additionally, a volume of a representation of the sub-objects in an image can be reconstructed, for example, by generating sub-objects that have a combined volume approximate to that of the compound object. Furthermore, sub-objects, which can be parts of a same physical object, but may have been erroneously split, can be identified and merged using connectivity and compactness based techniques.

主权项 1. A system for compound object separation, comprising: a compound object splitter component configured to generate, from a representation of a potential compound object, a first representation of a first potential sub-object and a second representation of a second potential sub-object by eroding a first set of voxels from the representation of the potential compound object; and a volume reconstructor component configured to generate a first image representing the first potential sub-object from the first representation and a second image representing the second potential sub-object from the second representation, the volume reconstructor component comprising: a neighboring eroded voxel identifier component configured to group one or more voxels, of the first set of voxels, that are spatially connected to the first representation to generate a second set of voxels; andan eroded voxel dissolver component configured to dissolve the second set of voxels to generate at least a first portion of the first image.
