The proportion of bone, fat, and muscle in the body is depended on the growth status and meat quality of livestock. In order to extract and measure the proportion of each tissue directly from living body, this paper proposes a framework of tissue segmentation and measurement based on CT images. This framework is mainly composed of bone extraction methods based on level set, visceral culling, muscle and fat segmentation based on threshold segmentation methods. It can accurately exclude internal organs, exactly segment and detect bones, fats, muscle tissue, and obtain the weight and proportion of bones, fats and muscle in the body. Through experiments and tests in real data sets, and comparison with anatomical data, the results prove that the proposed framework has high theoretical and practical value.
