Abstract

The invention discloses a method for detecting terminal points of a tree-like structure in a digital image. The two-dimensional terminal point detection steps are as follows: step 1, detecting a two-dimensional high-curvature point in a two-dimensional image, and using it as a candidate two-dimensional terminal point; Step 2. Detect the local diameter of the tree structure around each candidate 2D terminal point; Step 3. Detect the real 2D terminal point from the candidate 2D terminal points based on the multi-scale diverging ray model. The three-dimensional end point detection step is as follows: firstly, extract a group of two-dimensional slice images from the three-dimensional image, detect the two-dimensional end point in each two-dimensional slice image, and use the detected two-dimensional end point as a candidate three-dimensional end point; Then, the true 3D endpoints are detected from the candidate 3D endpoints based on the endpoint visual priors. The invention has high detection accuracy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of image processing, and relates to a method for detecting terminal points of a tree structure in a digital image. Background technique [0002] In biomedical research, the reconstruction of the morphology of dendritic structures such as neurons, retinal vessels, and bronchi plays a crucial role. At present, many tree structure tracking methods rely on suitable seed points, and one of the most ideal seed points is the start point and end point of the tree structure, that is, the terminal point. If the position of the terminal points of the tree structure can be detected automatically and accurately, many reconstruction tools and methods can reconstruct the 2D / 3D shape of the tree structure. [0003] A method for automatic detection of nerve endings in a three-dimensional image stack is disclosed in the prior art [1]. The steps for automatic detection of targets are as follows: [0004] a. Detect two-dimens...
