Abstract
An image processing method comprises an extracting step for extracting a plurality of images of different depths of a 3-dimensional object, the axes forming different angles with the 3-dimensional object, a binary coding step for eliminating a gray level range of the plurality of images obtained by the extracting step, the gray level range containing a small amount of components of the 3-dimensional object, remapping the other portion to a predetermined gray level value range, and putting the plurality of images in binary form, and a step for forming a 3-dimensional image of the 3-dimensional object based on the plurality of images put in binary form by the binary coding step.
Claims9
An image processing method, comprising:
- extracting a plurality of images from 3-dimensional data of a 3-dimensional object along one or more axes at different depths, said axes forming an angle with each other;
- eliminating a gray level range including at least two components of said 3-dimensional object from the plurality of images extracted, and remapping remaining gray level range to a predetermined gray level range, thereby forming a plurality of binary images;
- and
- forming a 3-dimensional image of said 3-dimensional object based on the plurality of binary images.
An image processing method comprising:
- extracting, from 3-dimensional data of a 3-dimensional object, a plurality of images along a plurality of axes, wherein each axis is in a different direction and each image is at a different depth on an axis;
- eliminating a gray level range including at least two components of said 3-dimensional object from the plurality of images extracted in said extracting, and remapping remaining gray level range to a predetermined gray level range, thereby forming a plurality of binary images;
- and
- forming a 3-dimensional image of said 3-dimensional object based on the plurality of binary images formed in said binary coding.
A computer readable recording medium storing an image processing program that causes a computer, when executed by the computer, to perform:
- extracting a plurality of images from 3-dimensional data of a 3-dimensional object along one or more axes at different depths, said axes forming an angle with each other;
- eliminating a gray level range including at least two components of said 3-dimensional object from the plurality of images extracted, and remapping remaining gray scale range to a predetermined gray level range, thereby forming a plurality of binary images;
- and
- forming a 3-dimensional image of said 3-dimensional object based on the plurality of binary images.
