    摘要: A method for segmenting a feature of interest from a volume image acquires image data elements from the image of a subject. At least one view of the acquired volume is displayed. One or more boundary points along a boundary of the feature of interest are identified according to one or more geometric primitives defined by a user with reference to the displayed view. A foreground seed curve defined according to the one or more identified boundary points and a background seed curve encompassing and spaced apart from the foreground seed curve are formed. Segmentation is applied to the volume image according to foreground values that are spatially bounded within the foreground seed curve and according to background values that lie outside the background seed curve. An image of the segmented feature of interest is displayed.

    摘要: A method for detecting a linear structure in a digital mammographic image, using a processor or computer at least in part, locates at least one microcalcification candidate cluster in the image data and extracts a first region of interest that encloses the at least one microcalcification candidate cluster. The first region of interest is processed to identify feature points that correspond to geometric structures in the first region of interest. A linear detection algorithm is applied by a repeated process that selects a line model from a predefined set of line models and analyzes the line model to determine whether a linear structure is present in the first region of interest.

    摘要: A three-dimensional model of a scene is obtained from a plurality of three-dimensional panoramic images of a scene, wherein each three-dimensional panoramic image is derived from a plurality of range images captured from a distinct spatial position. Transformations are determined that align the plurality of three-dimensional panoramic images, and spatial information is integrated from the plurality of three-dimensional panoramic images to form a spatial three-dimensional model of the scene. Finally, intensity and texture information is integrated from the plurality of three-dimensional panoramic images onto the spatial three-dimensional model to form a three-dimensional model of the scene containing both spatial and intensity information.
