Abstract:
Image segmentation of a structure of complex shape proceeds by acquiring by circuitry, a plurality of training images of the structure. A shape model of the structure is formed by fusing the plurality of training images. The shape model is partitioned by circuitry into a predetermined number of portions, an appearance and shape of each portion being determined by a classifier.
