Abstract(in English) Due to the remarkable progress of the multi-slice CT scanner, 3 dimensional accurate analyzes for human body using CT images is becoming possible and a lot of image processing procedures need to be developed to support it. Interlobar fissures can provide information for lung lobe extractions. Complete interlobar fissures or incomplete interlobar fissures are also important for clinical diagnosis. So, it is very important to develop a procedure that can extract and classify interlobar fissures automatically. We propose to develop a new method for interlobar fissures. First, we identify interlobar fissure position roughly using trachea, bronchus, and lung blood vessels structures. Second, we extract interlobar fissures precisely using CT value. This method had been applied to twenty-nine cases of multi-slice CT images, and we show performance evaluation of this method finally.
