  • Method and image processing apparatus for the segmentation of image data and computer program product
    Patent number: 11430126
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and to an image processing facility configured to carry out the method for the segmentation of image data of a target object. In the method, a first segmentation is generated by a trained algorithm. Furthermore, a statistical shape and appearance model is provided, which is trained on corresponding target objects. An interference region is further determined, in which the image data is impaired by an image artifact. A final segmentation of the image data is then generated by adjusting the shape and appearance model to the respective target object outside the interference region and using the first segmentation in the interference region.
