Abstract
The paper shows several methods employed in a semi-automatic pipeline for 3D surface reconstruction of anatomic shapes from Computed Tomography scans. Main benefits of the approach are very little human involvement and high processing speed, while maintaining high reconstruction accuracy. Several filtering methods are described that make contour segmentation easier. Further improvements of the algorithm are proposed.
