cut. Seeds are placed by the user on 2D slices to perform segmentation. We build
upon their method, using a 3D interface and complementing the process with hard-
ware rendering that allows for interactive visualization and editing of volume data
sets. Our tool lets the user partially paint the desired segmentation and fill in the
unpainted portions by applying the graph-cut optimization.
The following chapters will be organized as the following: Chapter 2 will present
the details of our visualization representation for segmented volumes; Chapter 3 will
cover how our representation can be applied in practical settings; Chapter 4 will
discuss our painting-based segmentation interface and present the results.
