(canceled)
A method of extracting objects from a computed tomography (CT) image, the method comprising:
- sequentially applying segmentation and carving on volumetric data of the objects in the CT image;
- and
- splitting and merging the segmented objects based on homogeneity of the objects in the CT image.
A method, comprising
- extracting objects from a computed tomography (CT) image by:
- sequentially segmenting and carving at least one of:
- (1) homogeneous bulk objects;
- (2) homogeneous medium thickness objects;
- (3) homogeneous sheet objects;
- (4) homogeneous metallic objects;
- and (5) heterogeneous objects, from volumetric data of the objects in the CT image;
- and
- splitting and merging the objects based on homogeneity of the objects in the CT image.
