Abstract: A brightness information generation unit 13 generates brightness profiles, serving as brightness information, from each Sobel image formed by an image transformation unit. A feature point detection unit 14 extracts feature points from the generated brightness information. In this case, maximum points (hereinafter, referred to as “peaks”) in the brightness profiles generated from the Sobel image are determined and detected as feature points. A layered structure identification unit 15 identifies the kind of the boundary of each layer or that of the layer in the retina. To identify the kind of the layer or boundary, brightness values in an area between the peaks are obtained from a median image and the layered structure in the area between the peaks is determined, thus identifying the kind of the layer or boundary corresponding to each peak on the basis of information indicating the determination.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for segmenting an object from a three-dimensional image are disclosed. According to the method, first, a surface of the object is estimated using scale estimation processes such as Laplacian-of-Gaussian filters in one, two or three dimensions. Second, the estimated surface is transformed by having a shrink function applied to it independently in each dimension to give a regularly shaped (preferably substantially spherical), non-isotropic shape. The object is segmented from the volume around it, and is inverse-transformed to obtain the original shape, which shape is then isolated from the image volume.
