  • Computer implemented methods for identifying channels in a 3D volume and computer program product implementing the methods
    Patent number: 9875537
    Abstract: The methods comprise: a) obtaining a 3D volume of the object containing two different sub-volumes identified as: well-defined zone (S) and not-well-defined zone (BZ) sub-volumes; b) generating well-defined zone (S) and not-well-defined zone (BZ) patches from the two sub-volumes; c) automatically identifying the possible channels by means of automatically obtaining candidate channels regions (CCR), dilating the perimeters of the well-defined zone (S) patches. The method includes embodiments for a layered approach, an EAM polygonal mesh approach and a volume approach. The computer program product is adapted to implement part or all of the steps of the method of the invention. The EAM system comprises computing navigation means implementing the method of the invention.
