Abstract:

Statistical modeling methods have been successfully used to segment, classify, and annotate digital images, over the years. In this paper, we present a 3-D hidden Markov model (HMM) for volume image modeling. The 3-D HMMis applied to volume image segmentation and tested using synthetic images with ground truth. Potential applications to 3-D biomedical image analysis are also discussed.
