Disadvantage of "EdgeWave+Blanket" segmentation approach is the need for manually constructed blanket.

Attempt was made to automatically generate a suitable blanket.

a) A seed was placed on the cortex, same seed would be later reused for the final segmentation.

b) EdgeWave CG ran with some general parameters so roughly to capture cortex.

c)  Inflate the resulting ROI by 4mm.
d) Fill the contours 2D (F7).

This result we call AutoBlanket and it is called AutoBlanket

"Good Case-1"   result of AutoBlanket.

  Then we clip the image by the Blanket ROI and run EdgeWaveCG second time, we the new parameters to capture the Whole Kidney.











Final Result:  AutoBlanket (Red) in the background.  Whole Kidney mask is Green (Overlay)

Same approach for "Bad Case-2"
