An Algorithm for 3D Image Segmentation

Abstract

We propose a new 3D image segmentation method based on prediction, block-matching and partial 3D constraint in this paper. The algorithm only needs to set a few key points in the first image. We use intensity information and block-matching to optimize the initial condition, and consider the 3D object's characteristics at the same time. By using the partial 3D constraints we can get the result of 2D and 3D smoothness. Experimental results validate its usefulness in 3D image segmentation.
