Surface point acquisition module, be used for each particle, by the coordinate conversion parameter of its representative, mean value and proper vector to training point set are carried out coordinate transform, proper vector after conversion is multiplied by each self-corresponding weight, is added with the training points ensemble average value after conversion, obtain the prior model corresponding to each particle, in circulation for the first time, weight corresponding to each proper vector is 0; Take prior model corresponding to each particle as seed point set, respectively according to the gray value information of three-dimensional ultrasound pattern, set up figure, Graphics Application partitioning algorithm, by minimizing given objective function, cuts apart figure, and obtains the surface point of segmentation result;
Similarity registration module, for the surface point for each particle, carry out registration with corresponding prior model respectively, and calculate the similarity of itself and corresponding prior model, by all particles according to sequencing of similarity and carry out resampling, select a best particle, corresponding best particle surface point and the difference of mean value in corresponding prior model are projected on the space that characteristic of correspondence vector forms, calculate the weight of each proper vector;
The best particle rate of change is calculated judge module, the rate of change between the best particle obtaining for twice circulation before and after calculating, if be less than setting threshold, just think algorithm convergence, or circulation exceedes set point number, end loop, otherwise, choose the initialization changes in coordinates parameter in module using best particle as particle, the each proper vector respective weights in using the weight that obtains in similarity registration module as surface point acquisition module, gets back to particle and chooses module and re-execute.
