Abstract
Designing interactive segmentation methods for digital volume images is difficult, mainly because efficient 3D interaction
is much harder to achieve than interaction with 2D images. To overcome this issue, we use a system that combines stereo graphics
and haptics to facilitate efficient 3D interaction. We propose a new method, based on the 2D live-wire method, for segmenting
volume images. Our method consists of two parts: an interface for drawing 3D live-wire curves onto the boundary of an object
in a volume image, and an algorithm for connecting two such curves to create a discrete surface.
