چکیده
Skeletons are useful shape abstractions and have varied applications in visualization. The complexity of the desired skeletal structure depends on the application. Current techniques for extracting skeletons do not allow control over the complexity. In this paper, we describe an algorithm which uses a thinness parameter to control the density of the skeleton. We present applications from CFD and medical visualization and show how the skeletal structure can be used in these domains. We also illustrate a technique which uses the skeleton to extract the centerline for surgical navigation.

Implementation and Advanced Results on the Non-interrupted Skeletonization Algorithm
This paper is a continuation to the work in [1], in which a new algorithm for skeletonization is introduced. The algorithm given there and implemented for script and text is applied here on images like pictures, medical organs and signatures. This is very important for a lot of applications in pattern recognition, like, for example, data compression, transmission or saving. Some interesting res...

METHODS This was a multicenter randomized controlled trial involving 167 MICU patients with at least one BG measurement >or=150 mg/dL and one or more of the following: mechanical ventilation, systemic inflammatory response syn...
متن کاملApplications for Point Cloud Skeletonizations in Forestry and Agriculture
In recent years, both airborne and terrestrial laser scanning developed to a standard technique for acquiring information on terrestrial landscapes. Here forest inventory and orchard management is considered. Inventory and parameterization of individual trees in orchards and forests are of large interest in nowadays society because of the potential of economical maximization of orchard producti...
متن کاملShape Analysis Using the Auto Diffusion Function
Scalar functions defined on manifold triangle meshes is a starting point for many geometry processing algorithms such as mesh parametrization, skeletonization, and segmentation. In this paper, we propose the Auto Diffusion Function (ADF) which is a linear combination of the eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in a way that has a simple physical interpretation. The ADF of a given 3D ...
متن کاملMemory efficient skeletonization of utility maps
An algorithm is presented that allows to perform skeletonization of large maps with much lower memory requirements than with the straightforward approach. The maps are divided into overlapping tiles, which are skeletonized separately, using a Euclidean distance transform. The amount of overlap is controlled by the maximum expected width of any map component and the maximum size of what will be ...
