Apparatus and method for aligning 3-dimensional data

Filed:2020-09-25Pub:2023-07-18
Applicant:MEDIT CORP.

The present disclosure discloses a three-dimensional data alignment apparatus, a three-dimensional data alignment method, and a recording medium, which may align a location between volumetric data and surface data even without a segmentation process of extracting a surface from the volumetric data. A three-dimensional data alignment apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a three-dimensional data alignment unit for aligning a location between first three-dimensional data and second three-dimensional data expressed in different data forms with regard to a target to be measured. The first three-dimensional data are three-dimensional data acquired in a voxel form with regard to the target to be measured, and the second three-dimensional data are three-dimensional data acquired in a surface form with regard to the target to be measured. The three-dimensional data alignment unit is configured to extract one or more vertices from the second three-dimensional data; extract the first voxel values of first voxels located around each vertex from the first three-dimensional data, based on a location of each vertex extracted from the second three-dimensional data; determine corresponding points between the first three-dimensional data and the second three-dimensional data based on the first voxel values extracted from the first three-dimensional data; and calculate location conversion information minimizing a location error between the first three-dimensional data and the second three-dimensional data based on the corresponding points.
