A Method for Lung Boundary Correction Using Split Bregman Method and Geometric Active Contour Model

In order to get the extracted lung region from CT images more accurately, a model that contains lung region extraction and edge boundary correction is proposed. Firstly, a new edge detection function is presented with the help of the classic structure tensor theory. Secondly, the initial lung mask i...
