Abstract:
Techniques are described for closed surface fitting (CSF). Processing circuitry may determine a plurality of points on a shape, determine a contour, used to determine a shape of an anatomical object, from image information of one or more images of a patient, and determine corresponding points on the contour that correspond to the plurality of points on the shape based on at least one of respective normal vectors projected from points on the shape and normal vectors projected from points on the contour. The processing circuitry may generate a plurality of intermediate points between the points on the shape and the corresponding points on the contour, generate an intermediate shape based on plurality of intermediate points, and generate a mask used to determine the shape of the anatomical object based on the intermediate shape.
