Localization of Anatomical Point Landmarks in 3D Medical Images by Fitting 3D Parametric Intensity Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a new approach for the localization of 3D anatomical point landmarks based on 3D parametric intensity models which are directly fit to the image. We propose an analytic intensity model based on the Gaussian error function in conjunction with 3D rigid transformations as well as deformations to efficiently model tip-like structures of ellipsoidal shape. The approach has been successfully applied to accurately localize anatomical landmarks in 3D MR and 3D CT image data. We have also compared the experimental results with the results of a previously proposed 3D differential operator. It turns out that the new approach significantly improves the localization accuracy.

On the Localization of 3D Anatomical Point Landmarks in Medical Imagery Using Multi-step Differential Approaches
In this paper, we investigate diierential approaches for the localization of 3D anatomical point landmarks in 3D medical images. First, we study an existing 2D edge intersection approach for localizing corners and theoretically analyze the localization accuracy of this method for an analytic model of an L-junction. Then, we extend this approach to 3D. We propose two two-step and one three-step ...

In this contribution, we are concerned with the detection and re ned localization of 3D point landmarks. We propose multi-step di erential procedures which are generalizations of an existing two-step procedure for subpixel localization of 2D point landmarks. This two-step procedure combines landmark detection by applying a di erential operator with re ned localization through a di erential edge...

We investigate the extraction of corresponding anatomical point landmarks in MR and CT images of the human head using 3D di erential operators for the extraction of isocontour curvature extrema. We carried out experiments measuring the sensitivity to noise, the localization accuracy, the false detection rate and the registration accuracy. Based on the experimental results we compare the perform...
