Abstract

See full text

Among other things, one or more systems and/or techniques for segmenting a representation of a sheet object from an image are provided herein. To identify elements of an image (e.g., pixels and/or voxels) representative of sheet objects, a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) score and a topological score are computed for respective elements being analyzed. The CFAR score indicates a relationship between an element and a neighborhood of elements when viewed as a collective unit. The topological score indicates a relationship between the element and a neighborhood of elements when viewed neighbor-by-neighbor. When the CFAR score is within a specified range of CFAR scores and the topological score is within a specified range of topological scores, the element is labeled as being associated with a sheet object. A connected component labeling (CCL) approach may be used to group elements labeled as being associated with a sheet object.
