[Insight-users] Segmenting Visible Human Data

[Stefan Lindenau]

Hi,

I have to do a segmentation on a part of the female Dataset of the 
Visible Human. I think this part will be as big as 4GB.
After reading documentation and former Mailinglist postings I came to 
the conclusion that the Watershed Algorithm in conjunction with the 
SegmentationEditorFltkGUI would be an appropriate approach.

The goal is to use the segmented data in the VTK to render for example 
the ribs of the Visible Woman. The SegmentationEditor provides a nice UI 
to choose the appropriate elements in the segmented image and to 
manipulate them.

My concern lies on the memory consumption of the processing. Is it 
realistic to use this approach with a consumer computer? Maybe another 
algorithm would fit better to my needs.

Thank you
Stefan
