Abstract
A method and apparatus for volumetric image analysis and processing is described. Using the method and apparatus, it is possible to obtain geometrical information from multi-dimensional (3D or more) images. As long as an object can be reconstructed as a 3D object, regardless of the source of the images, the method and apparatus can be used to segment the target (in 3D) from the rest of the structure and to obtain the target's geometric information, such as volume and curvature.
