LOOC: Localizing Organs using Occupancy Networks and Body Surface Depth Images

Pit Henrich, Franziska Mathis-Ullrich

We introduce a novel method employing occupancy networks for the precise localization of 67 anatomical structures from single depth images captured from the exterior of the human body. This method considers the anatomical diversity across individuals. Our contributions include the application of occupancy networks for occluded structure localization, a robust method for estimating anatomical positions from depth images, and the creation of detailed, individualized 3D anatomical atlases. This approach promises improvements in medical imaging and automated diagnostic procedures by offering accurate, non-invasive localization of critical anatomical features.
