METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SEGMENTATION

摘要

For use in a system for interactive segmentation of 3D images a method for the segmentation of images into semantical parts, an application of the method being medical scanning data, like for instance MR and CT, but the system being equally usable for other types of images, like for instance bifocal 3D microscopy images and 3D geological images of the underground; the method pre-computes a number of 3D segment building blocks; a user may interactively select blocks to build a segment, this may be done in virtual 2D slices of the volume or in 3D visualizations of the data, the method providng fast processing in 3D, which is advantageous for substantially instant and thereby natural interaction.
