Claim One:
1. A method for creating a 3-Dimensional model for objects in an inspected luggage in a CT system, comprising: acquiring slice data of the luggage with the CT system; interpolating the slice data to generate 3D volume data of the luggage; performing unsupervised segmentation on the 3D volume data of the luggage to obtain a plurality of segmental regions; performing isosurface extraction on the plurality of segmental regions to obtain corresponding isosurfaces; and performing 3D surface segmentation on the isosurfaces to form a 3D model for the objects in the luggage; wherein the unsupervised segmentation is performed by using a Statistical Region Merging (SRM) algorithm which is extended into 3D processing by: joining an atomic number and density of the 3D volume data into a vector so as to represent a 3D voxel as two vectors and replacing a grey difference in a conventional SRM with a module of a difference vector between the two vectors, replacing a 2D gradient in the conventional SRM with a 3D gradient, and replacing an area of a pixel in a 2D region in the conventional SRM with a volume of a voxel.
