A process includes: generation of knowledge of the anatomical object to be separated from neighboring objects and identification of high level features (e.g., prior knowledge that includes: a mean shape template of the vertebra; and, high level features, e.g., readily identifiable boundary regions between the vertebrae neighboring objects, such as neighboring vertebra and rib structures); and the subsequent use of this prior knowledge to level set.
