Module Description
This module is a general purpose segmentor. The target object is initialized by a label map. An active contour model then evolves to extract the desired boundary of the object.
Usage

Use Cases, Examples
- Note use cases for which this module is especially appropriate, and/or link to examples.
- Link to examples of the module's use
Tutorials
- First run:
- Give a rough estimate of the object volume and use the editing module to paint several non-zero labels, called seeds in the following, in the object.
- Run the module using the default parameters.
- Note:
- The Approximate volume is just a rough upper limit for the volume. It should be at least the size of the object. This is because when the volume reaches that, the program must stop. However, other criteria may stop the algorithm before the volume reaches this value.
- The positions of the seeds have to be in the object, preferably close to center.
- Troubleshooting
- Surface is too rough. Try:
- Increase "Boundary smoothness"
- Leakage into thin/narrow regions. Try:
- Increase "Boundary smoothness"
- leakage into similar (but still different) intensity regions (which is not necessarily thin), Try:
- Increase "Intensity homogeneity"
- Some regions are missed: Try (either one):
- Increase "Max volume"
- Decrease"Intensity homogeneity"
- Decrease "Boundary smoothness"
- Some regions are missed, at the same time leakages to some other regions. Try (either one)
- Increase "Intensity homogeneity"
- Add some other seeds
- Surface is too rough. Try:
- Data Set 1
