Abstract:
A plane detection apparatus for detecting at least one plane model from an input depth image. The plane detection apparatus may include an image divider to divide the input depth image into a plurality of patches, a plane model estimator to calculate one or more plane models with respect to the plurality of patches including a first patch and a second patch, and a patch merger to iteratively merge patches having a plane model a similarity greater than or equal to a first threshold by comparing plane models of the plurality of patches. When a patch having the plane model similarity greater than or equal to the first threshold is absent, the plane detection apparatus may determine at least one final plane model with respect to the input depth image using previously merged patches.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method to create a model of a target organ of a patient. The apparatus and method generate a deformation matrix between at least two shape models of a target organ based on at least two three-dimensional (3D) images of the target organ. The apparatus and method also extract constraints about the target organ from a two-dimensional (2D) image of the target organ. The apparatus and method create the model of the target organ based on the constraints and the deformation matrix.
