Robot 3D (three‐dimension) path planning targets for finding an optimal and collision‐free
path in a 3D workspace while taking into account kinematic constraints (including geometric …

Digital topology and geometry refers to the use of topologic and geometric properties and
features for images defined in digital grids. Such methods have been widely used in many …

Skeletonization provides an effective and compact representation of objects, which is useful
for object description, retrieval, manipulation, matching, registration, tracking, recognition …

Given a shape, a skeleton is a thin centered structure which jointly describes the topology
and the geometry of the shape. Skeletons provide an alternative to classical boundary or …

Background The main aim of this study was to develop and implement an algorithm for the
rapid, accurate and automated identification of paths leading from buried protein clefts …

Visual Computing for Medicine, Second Edition, offers cutting-edge visualization techniques
and their applications in medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book includes …

We have developed an algorithm," MOLE," for the rapid, fully automated location and
characterization of molecular channels, tunnels, and pores. This algorithm has been made …

Multidetector computed-tomography (MDCT) scanners provide large high-resolution three-
dimensional (3-D) images of the chest. MDCT scanning, when used in tandem with …

Conventional curve skeletonization algorithms using the principle of Blum's transform, often,
produce unwanted spurious branches due to boundary irregularities, digital effects, and …

We present an efficient colon flattening algorithm using a conformal structure, which is angle-
preserving and minimizes the global distortion. Moreover, our algorithm is general as it can …
