volume rendering [8]. The classification scheme described by Tiede et al. focuses on
segments produced by thresholding. In the case where the threshold ranges of mul-
tiple materials overlap, Tiede et al.’s approach is to linearly interpolate the binary
mask associated with the material. For each material A, space where the interpolated
value (with respect to A’s tri-linearly interpolated binary mask) is greater than 0.5
is classified as A. Although linear filtering resolves the overlap of threshold ranges, it
also produces unclassified regions within a single voxel (see Figure 1.3(c)). In the case
where the input is a segmented volume without intensity information, Tiede et al’s
