Abstract

This is a practical contouring method combining region growing, gradient edge detection, and prior shape constraints to compute contours throughout a three dimensional, computed tomography image dataset. Beginning with a sample of known object interior pixels, alternating steps of incremental region growth are followed by determination of an optimal contour, fitted simultaneously to the current region's perimeter local maxima in the gray level gradient, and to the shapes of prior contours of the object. The resulting contour corresponds to the maximum over all the iteratively-computed contours. Region growing is conducted by a supervised classifier developed on the fly for each object-section. Contours are parametric curves where the parameters are the independent variables of an objective function. The parameters also are treated as random variables whose distributions constrain future contour shapes. Both the region growing and the boundary finding are posed as maximum a posteriori problems. The method propagates contours from section to section using the texture classifier region template, and parametric shape prior probabilities from a previous section's contour to begin contour determination on a succeeding section. Initially intended as a drawing tool to speed-up interactive contouring on CT images in radiation therapy planning, the method is fully competent to run automatically as long as initial object-interior samples are provided.
医学可视化的最大后验分割
这是一种实用的轮廓方法,结合了区域增长、梯度边缘检测和先验形状约束来计算整个三维计算机断层扫描图像数据集的轮廓。从已知物体内部像素的样本开始,增量区域增长的交替步骤随后是确定最佳轮廓,同时拟合到当前区域的周长局部最大值在灰度梯度中,以及物体的先前轮廓的形状。所得轮廓对应于所有迭代计算轮廓的最大值。区域增长是由一个有监督的分类器对每个对象部分进行的。等高线是参数曲线,其中参数是目标函数的自变量。这些参数也被视为随机变量,其分布限制了未来的轮廓形状。区域增长和边界寻找都是最大后验问题。该方法使用纹理分类器区域模板和前一段轮廓的参数形状先验概率在剖面之间传播轮廓,从而开始在后续剖面上确定轮廓。该方法最初是作为一种绘图工具,用于加速放射治疗计划中CT图像的交互式轮廓,只要提供初始物体内部样本,该方法就完全能够自动运行。
