    摘要: A medical viewing system having means, for analysing and visualising medical image data corresponding to folded surfaces, comprises means of segmentation of the image data to identify the object surface, means for approximating the object surface by a reference surface, and means for detecting folded portions of the object surface including means for determining points of the reference surface at which a normal to a zone forming a patch on the reference surface intersects with the object surface. If there are more than one point of intersection, then that patch corresponds to a folded portion of the object surface. Fold-portion patches are assigned a code such that, on display or printing of an image (RP) corresponding to the reference surface, the fold-portions will be flagged (for example by coloured or patterned regions (HP). Other fold-attribute data can also be determined, coded and displayed: for example, the number and location of intersections between the first surface and the normal to the fold-portion patch, the distance to the first intersection, the distance between the second and third intersections, etc.

This system comprises estimation means for estimating a feature confidence parameter for each image feature. The model resolution is locally adapted according to said parameter. The feature confidence parameter depends on the feature distance and on the estimation of quality of this feature including estimation of noise. The large distances and the noisy, although close features are penalized. The resolution of the Model is decreased in absence of confidence and is gradually increased with the rise of feature confidence.

    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.
