Live Mesh: an Interactive 3d Image Segmentation Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
Image segmentation is the process by which objects are extracted from their surroundings in images. Segmentation in two dimensional images is a well-researched area, with both user-interactive and non-user-interactive tools to perform this function. While research has been done in three-dimensional image segmentation, few user-interactive tools exist that work directly in 3D. We present Live Mesh, an algorithm that provides a highly user-interactive environment for effective 3D image segmentation. It expands on the concepts of Live Wire, and uses a three-dimensional implementation of the powerful Dijkstra’s algorithm. The Live Mesh algorithm allows the user to effectively drag mesh patches, or surfaces over a 3D object. SimpleSeg is an implementation of Live Mesh that shows the utility and effectiveness of the Live Mesh method.

Interactive segmentation of image volumes with Live Surface
Live Surface allows users to segment and render complex surfaces from 3D image volumes at interactive (sub-second) rates using a novel, cascading graph cut (CGC). Live Surface consists of two phases. (1) Preprocessing for generation of a complete 3D hierarchy of tobogganed regions followed by tracking of all region surfaces. (2) User interaction in which, with each mouse movement, the volume is...
متن کاملAnisotropic geodesics for live-wire mesh segmentation
We present an interactive method for mesh segmentation that is inspired by the classical live-wire interaction for image segmentation. The core contribution of the work is the definition and computation of wires on surfaces that are likely to lie at segment boundaries. We define wires as geodesics in a new tensor-based anisotropic metric, which improves upon previous metrics in stability and fe...

Live Surface allows users to segment and render complex surfaces from 3D image volumes at interactive (subsecond) rates using a novel, cascading graph cut (CGC). The process consists of four steps. (1) Preprocessing for generation of a complete 3D watershed hierarchy followed by tracking of all catchment basin surfaces. (2) User selection of foreground and background seeds from two-dimensional,...
متن کاملIntelligent Scissoring for Interactive Segmentation of 3D Meshes
Many algorithms and tools exist for the segmentation of 3D meshes. However, they are labor intensive and lack the simplicity of 2D image segmentation systems, limiting them to a small set of expert users. This paper introduces a new segmentation tool which aims for accurate and flexible interactive mesh segmentation, yet maintains an easy-to-use interface suitable for novices and experienced us...
