Segmentation is a necessary step when creating realistic three-dimensional (3D) models. In order to build 3D models of whole body structures and have a wider lateral application, the thin sectional anatomical images of the Chinese Visible Human (CVH) dataset should be segmented. The more detailed structures are segmented to provide greater potential for wider application of the segmented images.
All the images based on the CVH male and female dataset were segmented semi-automatically using PHOTOSHOP software. This research lasted about 7 years.
In this study, 869 structures of CVH male and 860 structures of CVH female were semi-automatically segmented, and the formats for the segmented color-filled image data were PSD and PNG. In these segmented structures, nearly all skeletal muscles included muscle belly and tendon, and hollow organs included their organ walls and their lumen. Most nerve trunks, small arteries, lymph nodes, and lymph ducts were also segmented. Many surface-rendering and volume-rendering organ models were created using these segmented images.
The CVH male and female images represent the normal Asian population. After segmentation, the images can be reconstructed directly in 3D and greatly facilitate the biological modeling of physical and physiological information, a great help in improving medical and biological science in China.
分割是创建逼真三维（3D）模型的必要步骤。为了构建全身结构的 3D 模型并具有更广泛的横向应用，应分割中国可视人（CVH）数据集的薄层解剖图像。分割更详细的结构为分割图像的更广泛应用提供了更大的潜力。
使用 PHOTOSHOP 软件半自动分割基于 CVH 男性和女性数据集的所有图像。这项研究历时约 7 年。
在这项研究中，半自动分割了 869 个 CVH 男性结构和 860 个 CVH 女性结构，并将分割后的彩色填充图像数据的格式转换为 PSD 和 PNG。在这些分割结构中，几乎所有骨骼肌都包括肌腹和肌腱，空心器官都包括其器官壁和腔。还分割了许多神经干、小动脉、淋巴结和淋巴管。使用这些分割图像创建了许多表面渲染和体积渲染器官模型。
CVH 男性和女性图像代表了正常的亚洲人群。分割后，图像可以直接在 3D 中重建，极大地方便了物理和生理信息的生物建模，对提高中国的医学和生物学科学有很大帮助。
