Abstract
A method of segmenting a selected region from a multi-dimensional dataset, which method comprises the steps of setting up a shape model representing the general outline of the selected region and setting up an adaptive mesh. The adaptive mesh represents an approximate contour of the selected region. The adaptive mesh is initialized on the basis of the shape model. Furthermore, the adaptive mesh is deformed in dependence on the shape model and on feature information of the selected region.
Claims10
A method of segmenting a selected region from a multi-dimensional dataset, which method comprises the steps of:
- setting-up a shape model representing a general outline of the selected region;
- setting-up an adaptive mesh representing an approximate contour of the selected region,
- which adaptive mesh is
- initialized and deformed based on the shape model, and
- on feature information of the selected region.
A data processor arranged to
- set-up a shape model representing a general outline of a selected region, and to
- set-up an adaptive mesh representing an approximate contour of the selected region, wherein the
- adaptive mesh is
- initialized and deformed on the basis of the shape model and
- on feature information of the selected region.
A computer program embodied in a computer-readable medium for implementing a set of computer instructions to
- set-up a shape model representing a general outline of a selected region, and to
- set-up an adaptive mesh representing an approximate contour of the selected region, wherein the adaptive mesh is
- initialized and deformed on the basis of the shape model, and
- on feature information of the selected region.
