Objective
Segmentation of prostate gland from 3D Transrectal Ultrasound images. Our goal is to work out a deformable model that can segment the prostate gland well, we are trying to find an appropriate energy function that can have good segmentation result for Ultrasound images.
Approach, Plan
Our proach is localization active contour, we use the ball which centred at the coutour to make the chan-vese method more localization.
Progress
Delivery Mechanism
This work is in very early stages of exploration.
