A novel method called local shape controlled voting has been developed for spherical object detection in 3D voxel images. By introducing local shape properties into the voting procedure of normal overlap, the proposed method improves the capability of differentiating spherical objects from other structures, as the normal overlap technique only measures the 'density' of normal overlapping, while how the normals are distributed in 3D is not discovered. The proposed method was applied to computer aided detection of pulmonary nodules based on helical CT images. Experiments showed that this method attained a better performance compared to the original normal overlap technique.
