Creating a mask using the Paint Grow Segmentation method
To create a mask using the Paint Grow tool
If the results are not what you want, do the following:
Click one of the following commit buttons:
Paint Grow dialog box options
Cursor position and voxel intensity
|
Indicates the coordinates and intensity of the pixel under the mouse pointer tip. This pixel is the seed point.
|
|
Delta above selected voxel intensity
|
Once a seed point has been selected, MIPAV uses this value to determine whether to fill adjacent voxels with color. The voxels that are filled must have intensity levels that fall within the range of the seed point intensity minus the lower delta value and the upper delta value. For example, if seed point has an intensity of 100.0, and the Delta Above Selected Pixel Intensity value is 10 and the Delta Below Selected Pixel Intensity value is 15, MIPAV color-fills adjacent voxels whose intensities range from 85.0 to 110.0.
| |
Delta below selected voxel intensity
|
Once a seed point is, MIPAV uses this value to determine whether to fill adjacent voxels with color. The voxels that are filled must have intensity levels that fall within the range of the seed point intensity minus the lower delta value and the upper delta value.

Parameters: Unrestricted size Maximum size Unrestricted distance Maximum distance
|
Constrains the growth of the paint grow operation. Select the Unrestricted size and Unrestricted distance check boxes to allow the paint grow operation to be applied without restraint. If the Unrestricted size check box is not selected, type the maximum size (in cubic meters) of the paint grow region in the text box. If the Unrestricted distance check box is not selected, type the maximum distance from the original seed point in the text box.

Fuzzy connectedness
| ||
Fuzzy connectedness
|
Check tis box to use the fuzzy connectedness coefficient instead of static threshold. Here, Fuzzy connectedness represents the idea of connection or "hanging-togetherness" of image elements in an object by assigning a strength of connectedness to every possible path between every possible pair of image elements. A fuzzy connected object is defined with a fuzzy threshold or the strength of connectedness.
| |
Initial variance from selected VOI
|
Uses the initial intensity values from the selected region of interest (VOI).
|
|
Display fuzzy image
|
Displays the result image in a separate frame.
| |
Fuzzy threshold
|
is a threshold on the strength of connectedness of image elements.
| |
Close
|
Closes this dialog box.
| |
Cancel
|
Disregards any changes that you made in this dialog box and closes the dialog box.
| |
Help
|
Displays online help for this dialog box.

Examples of using the Paint Grow tool
Here, is a step-by-step guide for selecting a region(s) of interest using the Paint Grow tool options. In this example we will use an image of the human eye and we will try to segment the blood vessels located on the retina.
For example, when selecting the blood vessels, the image might look like the panel A for grayscale images or panel B for images after applying Blue LUT in the [MIPAV_Segmentation.html#1610564 Figure 190] below.
