Abstract :
In this paper a three dimensional (3D) image processing expert system called 3D-IMPRESS is presented. This system can automatically construct a 3D image processing procedure by using pairs of an original input image and a desired output figure called sample figure given by a user This paper describes the outline of 3D-IMPRESS and presents a method of procedure consolidation for generating a procedure commonly applicable to some other 3D gray images. Finally, we show segmentation results of 3D chest CT images by using the procedures generated by 3D-IMPRESS and discuss the performance of the system
