In this paper, we present a new method for detecting curvilinear structures and reconstructing their regions in gray-scale images. The concept of skeleton extraction is introduced...
Abstract. In this paper, we present a novel multi-stage algorithm for 3D medical image segmentation that is inspired by an improved Fast Marching method and a morphological reconst...
