3D THINNING AND ITS APPLICATIONS TO MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING

Abstract

Skeleton is a frequently used feature to represent general form of an object. The importance of that region-based shape feature shows an upward tendency in medical image processing, too. This paper summarizes the major skeletonization approaches, the parallel thinning methodologies in 3D and some emerged medical applications. An application to calculate the cross-sectional profiles of blood vessels is also presented.

Keywords:

skeletonization techniques, 3D parallel thinning, medical image processing
