| Abstract | We propose a novel method for 3D image segmentation, where a Bayesian formulation, based on joint prior knowledge of the object shape and the image gray levels, along with information derived from the input image, is employed. Our method is motivated by the observation that the shape of an object and the gray level variation in an image have consistent relations that provide configurations and context that aid in segmentation. We define a maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation model using the joint prior information of the object shape and the image gray levels to realize image segmentation. We introduce a representation for the joint density function of the object and the image gray level values, and define a joint probability distribution over the variations of the object shape and the gray levels contained in a set of training images. By estimating the MAP shape of the object, we formulate the shape-intensity model in terms of level set functions as opposed to landmark points of the object shape. In addition, we evaluate the performance of the level set representation of the object shape by comparing it with the point distribution model (PDM). We found the algorithm to be robust to noise and able to handle multidimensional data, while able to avoid the need for explicit point correspondences during the training phase. Results and validation from various experiments on 2D and 3D medical images are shown. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
