<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make candidate points extracted from image data precisely correspond to nodes of a shape model. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of candidate points S<SB POS="POST">p</SB>are extracted from the image data DV, and a corresponding point corresponding to a teacher label T<SB POS="POST">q</SB>configuring a shape model M<SB POS="POST">ref</SB>is selected among them. The selection of this corresponding point is performed in restricted conditions in which on each of two teacher labels connected with each other, when a path between two candidate points corresponding to respectively two teacher labels is determined, the candidate points which do not correspond to the teacher labels are included respectively only in one path among all the paths determined, or are not included in either path determined. Then, using a plurality of corresponding points selected, a structure M is detected from the image data DV. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
