Flux driven automatic centerline extraction
We present a fast, robust and automatic method for computing centerline paths through tubular structures for application to virtual endoscopy. The key idea is to utilize a skeletonization algorithm which exploits properties of the average outward flux of the gradient vector field of a Euclidean distance function from the boundary of the structure. The algorithm is modified to yield a collection...
متن کاملModel-Driven Centerline Extraction for Severely Occluded Major Coronary Arteries
Almost all previous approaches on coronary artery centerline extraction are data-driven, which try to trace a centerline from an automatically detected or manually specified coronary ostium. No or little high level prior information is used; therefore, the centerline tracing procedure may terminate early at a severe occlusion or an anatomically inconsistent centerline course may be generated. I...
متن کاملVessel Segmentation with Automatic Centerline Extraction Using Tubular Tree Segmentation
The study of the coronary vessel structure is crucial to the diagnosis of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases, which together account for ∼ 35% of all deaths in the United States per year. Vessel Segmentation from CTA data is challenging because of non-uniform image intensity along the vessel, and the branching and thinning geometry of the vessel tree. We present a novel method fo...
متن کاملAutomatic Road Centerline Extraction from Imagery Using Road GPS Data
Road centerline extraction from imagery constitutes a key element in numerous geospatial applications, which has been addressed through a variety of approaches. However, most of the existing methods are not capable of dealing with challenges such as different road shapes, complex scenes, and variable resolutions. This paper presents a novel method for road centerline extraction from imagery in ...
متن کاملFlux driven medial curve extraction
In this document it is described the implementation of the flux driven automatic centerline extraction algorithm proposed by Bouix et al. in 2004. This is based on a skeletonisation algorithm initially proposed by Siddiqi et al. in 2002, using properties of an average outward flux measure to distinguish skeletal points from non-skeletal ones. This information is combined with a topology preserv...
