چکیده

A 3D thinning algorithm erodes a 3D binary image layer by layer to extract the skeletons. This paper presents a correction to Ma and Sonka’s thinning algorithm, ‘A fully parallel 3D thinning algorithm and its applications’, which fails to preserve connectivity of 3D objects. We start with Ma and Sonka’s algorithm and examine its verification of connectivity preservation. Our analysis leads to a group of different deleting templates, which can preserve connectivity of 3D objects. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An improved fully parallel 3D thinning algorithm

A 3D thinning algorithm erodes a 3D image layer by layer to extract the skeletons. This paper presents an improved fully parallel 3D thinning algorithm which extracts medial lines from a 3D image. This algorithm is based on Ma and Sonka’s thinning algorithm [16], which fails to preserve connectivity of 3D objects. We start with Ma and Sonka’s algorithm and examine its verification of connectivi...

A Parallel Thinning Algorithm for Grayscale Images

Grayscale skeletonization offers an interesting alternative to traditional skeletonization following a binarization. It is well known that parallel algorithms for skeletonization outperform sequential ones in terms of quality of results, yet no general and well defined framework has been proposed until now for parallel grayscale thinning. We introduce in this paper a parallel thinning algorithm...

A 3D fully parallel surface-thinning algorithm

The thinning is an iterative layer by layer erosion until only the ‘‘skeletons’’ of the objects are left. This paper presents a thinning algorithm for extracting medial surfaces from 3D binary pictures. The strategy which is used is called fully parallel, which means that the same parallel operator is applied at each iteration. An efficient implementation of the proposed algorithm on convention...

A 3D Skeletonization Algorithm for 3D Mesh Models Using a Partial Parallel 3D Thinning Algorithm and 3D Skeleton Correcting Algorithm

A three-dimensional (3D) skeletonization algorithm extracts the skeleton of a 3D model and provides it for many applications, such as 3D model classification and identification. There are three major skeletonization methodologies used in the literature, distance transform field-based methods, Voronoi diagram-based methods, and thinning-based methods. However, the existing algorithms cannot pres...

Fully Parallel 3D Thinning Algorithms Based on Sufficient Conditions for Topology Preservation

This paper presents a family of parallel thinning algorithms for extracting medial surfaces from 3D binary pictures. The proposed algorithms are based on sufficient conditions for 3D parallel reduction operators to preserve topology for (26, 6) pictures. Hence it is self-evident that our algorithms are topology preserving. Their efficient implementation on conventional sequential computers is a...
