چکیده

In this paper, we make a comparative study on morphological skeletonization (MSK) and fuzzy medial axis transformation (FMAT). Methods have been proposed to construct convex FMAT from the morphological skeleton points and to translate FMAT to MSK, respectively. For the case of translating MSK to convex FMAT, the experimental results reveal that the combination of the proposed method and the redundant removal algorithm is very effective. Especially, the combined method is faster than the original method for constructing convex FMAT of smoothed images. © 2002 SPIE and IS&T. [DOI: 10.1117/1.1426075]

Fuzzy medial axis transformation ( FMAT ) : Image representation , skeleton extraction and uncertainty management in computer vision SANKAR

The problem of extraction of medial axis transformation of a gray image with reference to skeletonization, image representation and uncertainty management in a vision system has been addressed. The Fuzzy Medial Axis Transformation (FMAT) of a fuzzy set f is a set of fuzzy disks whose sup is f. Unfortunately, specifying the FMAT sometimes requires more storage space than specifying f itself. The...

GMAT: The Groupwise Medial Axis Transform for Fuzzy Skeletonization and Intelligent Pruning

There is a frequent need to compute medial shape representations of each of a group of structures, e.g. for use in a medical study of anatomical shapes. We present a novel approach to skeletonization that leverages information provided from such a group. We augment the traditional medial axis transform with an additional coordinate stored at each medial locus, indicating the confidence that the...

A fuzzy medial axis transformation based on fuzzy disks

Pal, S.K. and A. Rosenfeld, A fuzzy medial axis transformation based on fuzzy disks, Pattern Recognition Letters 12 (1991) 585-590. A fuzzy disk with cenler P is a fuzzy set in which membership depends only on distance from P. For any fuzzy set 1. there is a maximal fuzzy disk g~ ~j centered al every point P, and j is the sup of the g~'s. (Moreover, if j is fuzzy convex, so is every g~, bUI nOl...

Accelerated Skeletonization Algorithm for Tubular Structures in Large Datasets by Randomized Erosion

Skeletonization is an important procedure in morphological analysis of three-dimensional objects. A simplified object geometry allows easy semantic interpretation at the cost of high computational effort. This paper introduces a fast morphological thinning approach for skeletonization of tubular structures and objects of arbitrary shape. With minimized constraints for erosions at the surface, h...
