Qualitative results for the optimal multi-atlas segmentation approach for seven subjects are shown. For a typical subject, the top rows compare manual and automatic results for a representative 2-D slice. The bottom rows show pointwise surface distance error of the label fusion estimate for the ONs and the eye globe structure. The proposed multi-atlas pipeline results in reasonably accurate segmentations for the ON structure. However, slight oversegmentations of the ONs can be observed in certain cases (subjects 4 and 7) supporting the results in the volumetry section (Fig. 4).
