Using a pig fore-leg as the scanning object, an overlapping algorithm is designed to reconstruct the 2D cross-sectional image, the contours of the bone and skin are extracted using edge detection algorithm and the 3D model of the pig fore-leg is reconstructed by using reverse engineering technology. The results of checking the accuracy of the image by scanning a cylinder work pieces show that the extracted contours of the cylinder are quite close to the standard circumference. So it is feasible to get the contours of bones and skin by ultrasonic scanning. The ultrasonic scanning system featuring no radiation and low cost is a kind of new means of cross section scanning for medical images.展开更多

Our model replaces the last two layers of the 3D U-Net with a sliding window-based multilayer perceptron(SMLP), enabling better extraction of local image features. We also design a high-and low-level feature fusion dilated convolution block that focuses on local features and better supplements the surrounding information of the target region. This block is embedded in the entire encoding process, ensuring that the overall network is not simply downsampling. Before each feature extraction, the input features are processed by the dilated convolution block. We validate our experiments on the liver tumor segmentation challenge 2017(Lits2017) dataset, and our model achieves a Dice coefficient of 0.95, which is an improvement of 0.015 compared to the 3D U-Net model. Furthermore, we compare our results with other segmentation methods, and our model consistently outperforms them.展开更多

Firstly, the PDGI of the regular swept surface is constructed from point cloud, then the bounding box of the Gaussian sphere is uniformly partitioned into a number of small cubes （3D grids） and the PDGI points on the Gaussian sphere are associated with the corresponding 3D grids. Secondly, cluster analysis technique is used to sort out a group of 3D grids containing more PDGI points among the 3D grids. By the connected-region growing algorithm, the congregation point or the great circle is detected from the 3D grids. Thus the translational direction is determined by the congregation point and the direction of the rotational axis is determined by the great circle. In addition, the positional point of the rotational axis is obtained by the intersection of all the projected normal lines of the rotational surface on the plane being perpendicular to the estimated direction of the rotational axis. Finally, a pattem search method is applied to optimize the translational direction and the rotational axis. Some experiments are used to illustrate the feasibility of the above algorithm.展开更多
