Volumetric, or three-dimensional, digital imaging now plays a vital
role in many areas of research such as medicine and geology.
Medical images acquired by tomographic scanners for instance are
often given as a stack of cross-sectional image slices. Such images
are called ?volumetric? because they depict objects in their entire
three-dimensional extent rather than just as a projection onto a
two-dimensional image plane. Since huge amounts of volumetric data
are continually being produced in many places around the world,
techniques for their automatic analysis become ever more important.
Written by a computer vision specialist, this clear, detailed
account of volumetric image analysis techniques provides a
practical approach to the field including the following topics:
- preprocessing of volumetric images
- obtaining quantitative measurements in volumetric images
- detection and modelling of objects in volumetric images
