Abstract
Examples described herein provide a method that includes obtaining, by a processing device, three-dimensional (3D) voxel data. The method further includes performing, by the processing device, gray value thresholding based at least in part on the 3D voxel data and assigning a classification value to at least one voxel of the 3D voxel data. The method further includes defining, by the processing device, segments based on the classification value. The method further includes filtering, by the processing device, the segments based on the classification value. The method further includes evaluating, by the processing device, the segments to identify a surface voxel per segment. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, a position of a surface point within the surface voxel.
