3D Skeleton Extraction Algorithm

Resource Overview

An automated algorithm for extracting structural contour skeletons from images, compatible with both 2D and 3D implementations, verified through practical testing

Detailed Documentation

This method enables automatic extraction of structural contour skeletons from images, supporting implementation in both 2D and 3D dimensions. The algorithm typically employs morphological operations like thinning or distance transform-based approaches to iteratively remove boundary pixels while preserving connectivity and topology. Through hands-on testing, the methodology has been proven viable, successfully executing and producing satisfactory results. Key implementation aspects include robust endpoint detection, connectivity preservation during thinning iterations, and efficient handling of volumetric data structures for 3D processing.
