    摘要: A method of image segmentation includes receiving a set of voxels, segmenting the set of voxels into a foreground group and a background group, and classifying voxels of the foreground group as either lesion voxels or normal anatomy voxels. The method also includes blocking the normal anatomy voxels and performing a second segmentation on voxels of the background group and the lesion voxels, the second segmentation forming a stage two foreground group comprising the lesion voxels and a portion of the voxels of the background group. The method further includes classifying voxels of the stage two foreground group as either stage two lesion voxels or stage two normal anatomy voxels.

    摘要: A technique for producing a foreground mask from a digital image is based on receiving two digital images, wherein a first digital image is derived from a first original scene image including a foreground photographed against a background having arbitrary and unknown content matter, and a second digital image is derived from a second original scene image including substantially the same background but without the foreground. The second digital image is automatically aligned to the first digital image without user intervention to generate an aligned digital image including the background without the foreground. Then, using the first digital image and the aligned digital image, a foreground mask is produced relating to the spatial regions in the first digital image pertaining to the foreground, whereby the foreground mask is subsequently used to generate a composite digital image.
