Abstract: A machine learning model is trained to identify the texture difference between the different layers of a multilayer object. By training with data in full 3D space, the resulting model is capable of predicting the probability that each pixel in a 3D image belongs to a certain layer. With the resulting probability map, comparing probabilities allows one to determine boundaries between layers, and/or other properties and useful information such as volume data.
