A three-dimensional self-organizing neural network architecture for three-dimensional object extraction from a noisy perspective

Processing of three-dimensional image data for quality enhancement, segmentation and analysis is a challenging proposition due to the enormity of the underlying data content as well due to the inadequacy of data description standards. Extraction of objects from 3-dimensional image information is no exception. In this article, a novel three-dimensional neural network architecture is presented for faithful extraction of 3-dimensional objects from a noisy perspective. The proposed network architecture operates in a self-supervised mode assisted by fuzzy measures. Results of application of the proposed architecture are demonstrated on several synthetic and real life three-dimensional binary voxelized images. The efficacy of the architecture in different types of noises indicates encouraging avenues.
