VERFAHREN, SYSTEM UND VORRICHTUNG ZUR VERARBEITUNG EINES EINE RÖHRENARTIGE STRUKTUR DARSTELLENDEN BILDES UND ZUR BESTIMMUNG EINES PFADES DURCH DIE GENANNTE STRUKTUR

摘要

The invention relates to an image processing method for processing an image representing a tubular structure having walls, comprising steps for determining a flight path (EP) inside this tubular structure between a first and a second predetermined end points, said flight path being both the shortest path between said end points and the farthest from the structure walls (NB1). Said steps may comprise locating the structure wall points, determining a surface at a predetermined constant distance from said wall points, inside the structure, for forming a central region (CR), and determining, in said central region, the shortest path (EP) between the first and second end points.
