Skeleton-based skinning is widely used for realistic animation of complex characters defining mesh movement as a function of the underlying skeleton. In this paper, we propose a new robust skeletal animation framework for 3D articulated models. The contribution of this work is twofold....

This is a set of segmented trachea datasets suitable for centerline analysis and virtual bronchoscopy prototype software. The anisotropy of these datasets is different than the original; i.e., datasets are sub-sampled for better desktop computer performance. No, i do not have the original datasets. ...

In robotic navigation, path planning is aimed at getting the optimum collision-free path between a starting and target locations. The optimality criterion depends on the surrounding environment and the running conditions. In this paper, we propose a general, robust, and fast path planning framework for robotic navigation using level set methods....

In this paper, we present a novel framework for computing centerlines for both 2D and 3D shape analysis. The framework works as follows: an object centerline point is selected automatically as the point of global maximum Euclidean distance from the boundary, and is considered a point source (PS) that transmits a wave front that evolves over time and traverses the object domain....

In this paper, we propose a new variational framework for computing continuous curve skeletons from discrete objects that are suitable for structural shape representation. We have derived a new energy function, which is proportional to some medialness function, such that the minimum cost path between any two medial voxels in the shape is a curve skeleton....
