Automatic Generation of Initial Surfaces for Implicit Snakes

This paper presents a methodology for the automatic generation of initial surfaces for implicit snakes, aimed at 3D surface reconstruction from medical imaging data (e.g., CT, MRI). Traditional methods rely heavily on manual initialization and landmark detection, which are often impractical or ineffective. Our approach utilizes multi-part global shape models constructed from sample images, improving robustness against noise and occlusion. By matching image features with composite models, we achieve a reliable automatic initialization process, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in medical imaging applications.
