Module Description

This is a fast implementation of the GrowCut method. It supports multi-label segmentation and user online interactions. Please see the references below for more details.








Tutorials

Step 1.) Add data volume to segment

Step 2.) Go to the “Editor” module, select the volume loaded in Step 1 as the “Master Volume” in the “Create and Select Label Maps” drop-down menu

Step 3.) Select the “FastGrowCutEffect” effect in the “Edit Selected Label Map” drop-down menu

Step 4.) Press the “Start Fast GrowCut” button ( FastGrowCut is now running in the background until the “Stop FastGrowCut” button is pressed)

Step 5.) Turn “On” all three slice views in the 3D Plane

Step 6.) Initialize the segmentation using fast GrowCut

  • (a) go to PaintEffect to draw seed regions (label 1 for foreground and 2 for background), then press 'G' to run fast GrowCut.

  • (b) If not satified, press 'S' to toggle between seed image and segmentation result. Edit on the seed image to reduce over/under segmentaions.

  • (c) Once finished editing on the seed image, press 'G' to run fast GrowCut again.

The steps 6 (b) and (c) may be repeated a couple of times until satisfied.

Multi-Label Segmentation Examples

The module supports multi-label segmentations. Two examples are shown below.

  • Brain ventricle and tumor segmentation
