Multi-Label Simple Points Definition for 3D Images Digital Deformable Model

Abstract

The main contribution of this paper is the definition of multilabel simple points that ensures that the partition topology remains invariant during a deformable partition process. The definition is based on simple intervoxel properties and is easy to implement. A deformation process is carried out with a greedy energy minimization algorithm. A discrete area estimator is used to approach at best standard regularizers classically used in continuous energy minimizing methods. The effectiveness of our approach is shown on several 3D image segmentations.
