Rendering and interaction in co-operative 3-D image analysis

Most interactive segmentation methods are defined at a 2-d level requiring sometimes extensive interaction when the object of interest is difficult to be outlined by simple means of segmentation. This may become tedious if the data happens to be a 3-d scene of which a part of the differentiating features of a structure is buried in 3-d contextual information. We propose a concept of extending i...

QBISM: A Prototype 3-D Medical Image Database System

A PC-Based Interactive Image Processing System for 3-D Analysis of SEM Stereo Images

A PC-based interactive image processing system for 3-D analyses of stereo images of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) using an advanced feature-based stereo model is described. Integration between the global and qualitative human vision and the local and quantitative computer vision makes it possible to greatly reduce the computational load and to highly improve the reliability of stereo cor...
