Weakly Supervised Geodesic Segmentation of Egyptian Mummy CT Scans
In this paper, we tackle the task of automatically analyzing 3D volumetric scans obtained from computed tomography (CT) devices. In particular, we address a particular task for which data is very limited: the segmentation of ancient Egyptian mummies CT scans. We aim at digitally unwrapping the mummy and identify different segments such as body, bandages and jewelry. The problem is complex because of the lack of annotated data for the different semantic regions to segment, thus discouraging the use of strongly supervised approaches. We, therefore, propose a weakly supervised and efficient interactive segmentation method to solve this challenging problem. After segmenting the wrapped mummy from its exterior region using histogram analysis and template matching, we first design a voxel distance measure to find an approximate solution for the body and bandage segments. Here, we use geodesic distances since voxel features as well as spatial relationship among voxels is incorporated in this measure. Next, we refine the solution using a GrabCut based segmentation together with a tracking method on the slices of the scan that assigns labels to different regions in the volume, using limited supervision in the form of scribbles drawn by the user. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated using visualizations and validated through quantitative measures and qualitative unwrapping of the mummy.
