Segmentation and 3D reconstruction of the vocal tract from MR images—A comparative study

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging based on magnetic resonance is essential to acquire the full geometry of the vocal tract, and thus to provide better knowledge concerning vocal tract shape and to obtain more data its realistic 3D modeling (Bresch et al. 2008; Apostol et al. 1999; Badin and Serrurier 2006; Kim, Narayanan and Nayak 2009).
