Abstract
A system for establishing a contour of a structure is disclosed. An initialization subsystem () is used for initializing an adaptive mesh representing an approximate contour of the structure, the structure being represented at least partly by a first image, and the structure being represented at least partly by a second image. A deforming subsystem () is used for deforming the adaptive mesh, based on feature information of the first image and feature information of the second image. The deforming subsystem comprises a force-establishing subsystem () for establishing a force acting on at least part of the adaptive mesh, in dependence on the feature information of the first image and the feature information of the second image. A transform-establishing subsystem () is used for establishing a coordinate transform reflecting a registration mismatch between the first image, the second image, and the adaptive mesh.
