Abstract
An automatic light arrangement for medical visualization includes: providing a medical 3D image (D), providing spatial information about a region of interest (R) in this 3D-image (D) and spatial information about a virtual camera (C), determining a plurality of possible arrangements for light sources (L) by using depth information based on the 3D image (DI) together with the spatial information about the region of interest (R) in this image and the spatial information about the virtual camera (C), wherein valid arrangements are those where shadows (S) on the region of interest (R) are below a predefined threshold, and/or wherein the determination or arrangements is based on a number of predefined perceptual metrics applied specifically to the regions of interest, prioritizing the determined arrangements, and choosing the arrangement with the best prioritization.
