We propose novel thinning conditions for grayscale 3D images that do not rely on image thresholding or segmentation. The resulting grayscale skeletonization routine extracts a top...
This paper proposes a novel model-guided segmentation framework utilizing a statistical surface wavelet model as a shape prior. In the model building process, a set of training sh...
