摘要:
The invention relates to system (100) for segmenting an image dataset based on a deformable model for modeling an object in the image dataset, utilizing a coarse mesh for adapting to the image dataset and a fine mesh for extracting detailed information from the image dataset, the system comprising an initialization unit (110) for initializing the coarse mesh in an image dataset space, a construction unit (120) for constructing the fine mesh in the image dataset space based on the initialized coarse mesh, a computation unit (130) for computing an internal force field on the coarse mesh and an external force field on the coarse mesh, wherein the external force is computed based on the constructed fine mesh and the scalar field of intensities, and an adaptation unit (140) for adapting the coarse mesh to the object in the image dataset, using the computed internal force field and the computed external force field, thereby segmenting the image dataset. Since only the coarse mesh is adapted to the image dataset, keeping the modeled object surface smooth does not require a smoothing of the surface over large neighboring areas, and therefore the adaptation of the coarse mesh is much faster than the adaptation of the fine mesh. Advantageously, the proposed technique can be easily integrated into existing frameworks of model-based image segmentation.

摘要:
A method for delineating a bony structure within a 3D image of a body volume. A non contrast-enhanced tissue (reference) structure and a region comprising the bony structure and contrast-enhanced structures are identified (S2, S3) by thresholding or other image segmentation technique. A deformable model generally representative of the bony structure aligned and centred relative to the reference structure (S4) and the model is then deformed (S5) relative to the region of the image including the bony structure so as to fit the model thereto and thereby to delineate the bony structure in the image.

摘要:
An image processing system having image data processing means of segmentation of an object of interest using an unstructured deformable mesh model composed of surface (TJ) and internal (THJ) discrete elements, and further means of refining said mesh model by automatically dynamically adapting the size of the internal discrete elements to the local variation of size of the surface discrete elements. This system has means for acquiring size information (LJ) related to the surface discrete elements in order to evaluate the optimal size to be assigned to the internal discrete elements and for propagating this size information from the surface discrete elements to the internal discrete elements while new internal discrete (THJ) elements are created during the refinement process by insertion of new vertices inside said internal discrete elements.

摘要:
A method of operating a dimensioning system to determine dimensional information for objects is disclosed. A number of images are acquired. Objects in at least one of the acquired images are computationally identified. One object represented in the at least one of the acquired images is computationally initially selected as a candidate for processing. An indication of the initially selected object is provided to a user. At least one user input indicative of an object selected for processing is received. Dimensional data for the object indicated by the received user input is computationally determined.
