A computer-implemented method for vertebrae segmentation includes providing an image of a plurality of vertebrae, and determining a seed in each of at least two adjacent vertebrae in the image. The method further includes mapping a unit square to the seeds in the image as corresponding shape constraints on a segmentation, evolving the shape constraints to determine the segmentation of the adjacent vertebrae, wherein evolutions of the shape constraints interact, and outputting a segmented image indicating a location of the vertebra.
