Abstract
In this paper we present a hybrid probabilistic framework for 3D image segmentation, using Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) and implicit deformable models. Our 3D deformable model uses voxel intensity and higher scale textures as data-driven terms, while the shape is formulated implicitly using the Euclidean distance transform. The data-driven terms are used as observations in a 3D discriminative CRF, which drives the model evolution based on a simple graphical model. In this way, we solve the model evolution as a joint MAP estimation problem for the 3D label field of the CRF and the 3D shape of the deformable model. We demonstrate the performance of our approach in the estimation of the volume of the human tear menisci from images obtained with optical coherence tomography.
