Optimal Surface Segmentation with Convex Priors in Irregularly Sampled Space

Optimal surface segmentation method for 3-D surfaces representing object boundaries is widely used in image understanding, object recognition and quantitative analysis of volumetric medical images (Li et  al., 2006; Abràmoff et al., 2010; Withey and Koles, 2008). The optimal surface segmentation technique (Li et al., 2006) has been extensively employed for segmentation of complex objects and surfaces, such as knee bone and cartilage (Yin et al., 2010; Kashyap et al., 2013), heart (Wu et al., 2011; Zhang et al., 2013), airways and vessels tress (Liu et al., 2013; Bauer et al., 2014), lungs (Sun et al., 2013), liver (Zhang et al., 2010), prostate and bladder (Song et al., 2010), retinal surfaces (Garvin et al., 2009; Lee et al., 2010) and fat water decomposition (Cui et al., 2015 ).
