Abstract:
We present a new approach to segmentation of 3Dimensional shapes that initializes and then optimizes a 3-D surface model given only the data and a very small number of 3-D seed points and corresponding surface normals. This is a valuable capability for medical, robotic and cartographic applications where such seed points can be naturally supplied. In effect, the surface model is clamped onto the object boundary in manner reminiscent of a Velcro being closed. We develop the method's mathematic framework and show preliminary results using volumetric medical data. 1
