A method for classifying pulmonary structures in digitized images includes providing approximate target structure locations of one or more target structures in a digitized 3-dimensional (3D) image, fitting an anisotropic Gaussian model about said approximate target locations to generate more precise 3D target models and center locations of said one or more target structures, warping each said 3D target model into a 3D sphere, constructing a bounding manifold about each said warped 3D sphere, and identifying clusters on said bounding manifold wherein said one or more target structures are classified.
