Abstract: In this paper, we are proposing a 3D segmentation and interactive visualization workflow. The segmentation implementation uses a globally convex multiphase active contours without edges. This algorithm has been proven to be initialization independent due to their globally convex formulation and better than other approaches due to robustness to image variations and adaptive energy functionals. The workflow includes a flexible 3D visualization application that can handle very large volumes using multi-resolution hierarchical data formats following the segmentation. We also designed a custom fragment shader that is capable of meaningfully fusing the data from three different volumes: a segmented label volume, a mean value per voxel volume and a skull striped volume for effective visualization without modifying the segmented results. Giving researchers the access to a whole end to end pipeline, from 3D segmentation to custom real time interactive 3D visualization is, in our opinion, a powerful tool focused on an analyst/expert centric workflow.
