Abstract

The invention provides a method for determining a confidence value for an image segmentation. The method includes obtaining an image, wherein the image comprises a view of an anatomical structure and a model of the anatomical structure is obtained, wherein the model comprises a plurality of nodes. The image is processed to generate a plurality of image segmentation outputs, wherein each image segmentation output comprises a set of values for the view, wherein each value of the set of values is associated with a node of the plurality of nodes of the model. For each node of the model, a confidence value is determined based on the plurality of values corresponding to the node. A confidence map of the anatomical structure is generated based on the confidence value of each node.

Dependent claims

A method for determining a confidence value for an image segmentation, the method comprising:

obtaining an image comprising a view of an anatomical structure;
obtaining a model mesh of the anatomical structure, wherein the model mesh comprises a plurality of nodes, wherein the plurality of nodes comprises a first node;
generating a plurality of meshes based on the image and the model mesh, wherein the plurality of meshes comprises a first mesh and a second mesh, wherein the first node in the first mesh comprises a first location and the first node in the second mesh comprises a second location;
determining the confidence value for the first node based on a difference between the first location and the second location;
and
generating a confidence map of the anatomical structure based on the confidence value of the first node.
