Abstract


A novel centerline planning algorithm for virtual endoscopy is proposed. It can be executed in original images data directly, no longer subjects to the results of segmentation. It is based on B-Snake model, and a moving polyhedron centralize method is defined, which provides a centralizing force as the external force of B-Snake model. And the internal force of the Snake model is removed, so as to control the model easily. With the characteristic of B-spline, a few control points are chosen and the smooth and continuous centerline is got effectively. Error analysis and experimental results show the validity of the proposed method.
