Abstract
An image processing method is provided, including: obtaining image data of a cavity wall of an organ; unfolding the cavity wall; and generating an image of the unfolded cavity wall. The unfolding of the cavity wall may include: obtaining a mask and a centerline of the organ; obtaining a connected region of the mask; dividing the connected region into at least one equidistant block; determining an orientation of the equidistant block in a three-dimensional coordinate system including a first direction, a second direction and a third direction; determining an initial normal vector and an initial tangent vector of a center point of the centerline; assigning a projection of the initial normal vector to a normal vector of a light direction of the center point; assigning the third direction or an reverse direction of the third direction to a tangent vector of the light direction of the center point.
