Abstract

We propose a new Hole-filling algorithm by improving the Olympic operator, and we also apply it to generate the volume in our freehand 3D ultrasound reconstruction of the spine. First, the ultrasound frames and position information are compounded into a 3D volume using the Bin-filling method. Then, the Hole-filling method is used to repair gaps in the volume. The conventional Olympic operator defines the empty voxels by sorting the neighboring voxels, removing the n% of the upper and lower values, and averaging them to attain the value to fill the empty voxels. The empty voxel estimation can be improved by thresholding the range width of its neighboring voxels and adjusting it to the average values. The method is tested on a hole-manipulated volume derived from a cropped 3D ultrasound volume of a part of the spine. Our MAE calculation on the proposed technique shows improved result compared to all tested existing methods.
