Assign distinct colors to DICOM SEG segments (ITK export path) - #1909
ousamabenyounes wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
The ITK/dcmqi DICOM SEG export path built each segment's color as
info.get("color", GENERIC_ANATOMY_COLORS.get(name, (255, 0, 0))). When a
segment had no explicit color and its name was not a known anatomy term,
every segment fell back to red, so a multi-segment DICOM SEG showed up
entirely red.
Add a get_segment_color() helper that keeps the existing priority
(explicit color > known anatomy name) but, for the remaining case, picks a
distinct color from the generic-anatomy palette by segment index instead of
always red. The black background entry is excluded so a segment is never
invisible.
Fixes Project-MONAI#1751

Adds helpers that use explicit metadata colors or exact anatomy-name matches when available. Otherwise, the helpers select from a distinct palette that excludes the background color and skips reserved colors when possible. |
Apply colors during conversion and test selection monailabel/datastore/utils/convert.py, tests/unit/datastore/test_colors.py |
The converter collects colors from segment metadata and named segments, then assigns and reserves fallback colors. Tests cover explicit and anatomy colors, distinct fallback colors, background exclusion, and reserved-color handling. |

Unknown DICOM SEG segments picked a fallback color by index without considering colors already assigned in the same export, so an unknown segment could duplicate a fixed one. _itk_nifti_to_dicom_seg now reserves every color fixed by explicit metadata, a known anatomy name, or a custom segmentAttribute, and get_segment_color skips reserved colors when choosing a fallback.

Summary
Fixes #1751 — DICOM SEG shows all segments as the same color (red).
The ITK/dcmqi export path used the same red fallback whenever a segment had no explicit color and its name was absent from
GENERIC_ANATOMY_COLORS.Change
get_segment_color(name, info, index)with the existing priority: explicit color, known anatomy color, then an indexed fallback palette color._itk_nifti_to_dicom_segand cover the first prior duplicate span with 17 unknown segments.Behavior for explicit colors and known anatomy names is unchanged. The default highdicom path is unaffected.
