Propagating Shell for Segmenting Objects with Fuzzy Boundaries, Automatic Volume Determination and Tumor Detection Using Computer Tomography

A dynamic thresholding level set method combines two optimization processes, i.e., a level set segmentation and an optimal threshold calculation in a local histogram, into one process that involves a structure called a “propagating shell.” The propagating shell is a mobile 3-dimensional shell structure with a thickness that encompasses the boundary of an object, the boundary between two objects or the boundary between an object and a background. Because the local optimal threshold tends to shift to a value of a small region in a histogram, the shift can drive the propagating shell to an object boundary by pushing or pulling the propagating shell. The segmentation process is an optimizing process to find a balanced histogram with minimal threshold shift. When the histogram in the propagating shell is balanced, the optimal threshold becomes stable, and the propagating shell reaches a convergence location, i.e., an object boundary. This method can be applied to computer-aided organ and tumor volumetrics.

Smoothed Local Histogram Filters for Computer Graphics

Local histogram and local histogram-based functions can be determined by generating offset-kernel images based on domain-shifted tonal filter kernels. The offset-kernel images can be reused for multiple image locations and / or local neighborhood sizes, shapes, and weights. A neighborhood filter representing the desired local neighborhood size, shape, and frequency domain characteristics is applied to each of the offset-kernel images. Neighborhood filters may include a temporal dimension for evaluating neighborhoods in space and time. Neighborhood filtered offset-kernel images' values represent samples of local histogram or local histogram-based function corresponding with the domains of their associated domain-shifted tonal filter kernels. Arbitrary functions may be used as tonal filter kernels. A histogram kernel may be used to sample values of local histogram functions. A tonal filter kernel that is a derivative or integral of another tonal filter kernel may be used to sample a derivative or integral, respectively, of a function.
