[Insight-users] Question about FuzzyConnectedness

[jiang]

Dear ITK users,
I want to do medical image segmentation with ITK. Now I want to try
FuzzyConnectedness method. There is one example in InsightApplication. I
find that this example could segment a image and give a binary map of
segmentation. I don't know why it needs 3d image? It only processes 2d
image.
I don't read paper
J. K. Udupa and S. Samarasekera, "Fuzzy connectedness and object definition:
theory, algorithms, and
application in image segmentation", Graphical Models in Image Processing,
Vol 58, pp. 246-261, 1996
If somebody can give me this paper, I will appreciate very much. I only read
another related paper and have a brief view about this algorithm.
Since I have not example data that mentioned in ReadMe file of
FuzzyConnectedness application, I want to modify it and use my image to do a
test. Is it possible to use only 2d image to do FuzzyConnectedness? Or is it
possible to segment 3d image and get 3d binary map by FuzzyConnectedness?

Thank you very much!
