  • Publication number: 20080030497
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for segmentation of three dimensional image data sets, to obtain digital models of objects identifiable in the image data set. The image data set may be obtained from any convenient source, including medical imaging modalities, geological imaging, industrial imaging, and the like. A graph cuts method is applied to the image data set, and a level set method is then applied to the data using the output from the graph cuts method. The graph cuts process comprises determining location information for the digital data on a 3D graph, and cutting the 3D graph to determine approximate membership information for the object. The boundaries of the object is then refined using the level set method. Finally, a representation of the object volumes can be derived from an output of the level set method. Such representation may be used to generate rapid prototyped physical models of the objects.
