Abstract

In a region extraction to be achieved by a concatenated region expansion processing, to improve reliability of extraction results and to reduce loads imposed on the operator, when a region other than an objective region is extracted as a result of the region extraction, a point belonging to the region other than the objective region is specified in a three-dimensional display image to execute deletion of the overflow region.
