Endonasal transsphenoidal pituitary surgery is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure, applied to remove various kinds of pituitary tumors. To reduce the risk associated with this treatment, the surgeon must be skilled and well-prepared. Virtual endoscopy can be beneficial as a tool for training, preoperative planning and intraoperative support....

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 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....

Representing a 3D shape by a set of one-dimensional curves that are locally symmetric with respect to its boundary (i.e., curve skeletons) is of importance in several machine intelligence tasks. This paper presents a fast, automatic, and robust variational framework for computing continuous, sub-voxel accurate curve skeletons from volumetric objects....
