| Summary |
Annotation Written by the world's leading researchers in the field, this is a comprehensive reference on skeletonisation and presents theory, methods, algorithms and their evaluation, together with applications. Skeletonisation is used in many image processing and computer vision applications such as shape recognition and analysis, shape decomposition and character recognition, as well as medical imaging for pulmonary, cardiac, mammographic applications. Part I includes theories and methods unique to skeletonisation. Part II includes novel applications including skeleton-based characterisation of human trabecular bone micro-architecture, image registration and correspondence establishment in anatomical structures, skeleton-based fast, fully automated generation of vessel tree structure for clinical evaluation of blood vessel systems. |
