Liver segmentation.....

hello guys i have a college project i need an easy and efficient algorithm to extract the liver from a CT image, i searched for days i have read about many algorithms but dont know how or from where to start so please i really need help...(i just need a name of algorithm and a tutorial or reference about it if know)

Answer 1

[Aravin]

it might be of your interest

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0720048X05004171

if you can't download this paper, then you can request the authors. Many authors are kind enough to give their papers and source code for educational purpose.

this is also good link and free to download i guess

FreePDF

Did you try the Vision Bibliography at USC?

http://iris.usc.edu/Vision-Notes/bibliography/contents.html

It has virtually every image processing article ever published. See section 20.8.2.1. For example
