Abstract
We compare three hierarchical structures, S 15, C 15, C 19, that are used to steer a segmentation process in 3d voxel images. There is an important topological difference between C 19 and both others that we will study. A quantitative evaluation of the quality of the three segmentation techniques based on several hundred experiments is presented.
This work was founded by the BMBF under grant 01/IRC01B (research project 3D-RETISEG).
