Semi-automatic stereoscopic conversion of 2D medical image

초록

Recently, diverse 3D image processing technologies have been applied in industries. Among them, stereoscopic conversion is a technology to generate a stereoscopic image from a 2D image. The aim of this paper is to apply the stereoscopic conversion to medical fields. For this, this paper presents a novel methodology for converting a 2D medical image into a 3D stereoscopic image. For this, mean shift segmentation, edge detection and intensity analysis, etc. are utilized to generate a final depth map. From the depth map, left and right images are made. In the experiment, the proposed method is performed on a CT (Computed Tomograpy) image. The stereoscopic image displayed on a 3D monitor shows a satisfactory performance. © ICIC International 2011.
