Abstract
In the last years, deformable models raised much interest and found various applications in the field of 2D and 3D computer vision. Active surfaces are usually employed for segmentation and object reconstruction. In this paper, a new model for 3D image segmentation is proposed, the Topological Active Volumes (TAV). This model is based on deformable models, it is able to integrate the most representative characteristics of the region-based and boundary-based segmentation models and it also provides information about the topological properties of the inside of detected objects. This model has the ability to perform topological local changes in its structure during the adjustment phase in order to: obtain a specific adjustment to object’s local singularities, find several objects in the scene and identify and delimit holes in detected structures.
