Abstract
In one embodiment, a system for computing class identifiers for three-dimensional pixel data has been developed. The system comprises a plurality of class identifying processors, and a data grouper operatively connected to a first memory. Each class identifying processor has a plurality of inputs for at least one pixel value and a plurality of class identifiers for pixel values neighboring the at least one pixel value and each class identifying processor is configured to generate a class identifier for the at least one pixel value input with reference to the class identifiers for the neighboring pixel values. The data grouper is configured to retrieve a plurality of pixel values from the first memory and a plurality of class identifiers for pixel values neighboring the retrieved pixel values.
