Fast Object Segmentation by Growing Minimal Paths from a Single Point on 2D or 3D Images
2008
Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision
Detection of a variety of objects on real images is demonstrated. Using a similar idea, we can extract networks of minimal paths from a 3D image called Geodesic Meshing. ...
Linking pairs of neighboring keypoints with minimal paths allows us to extract a closed contour from a 2D image. ...

A geodesic voting method for the segmentation of tubular tree and centerlines
2011
2011 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro
We show results of the segmentation with this approach on 2D angiogram images. This approach can be extended to 3D images in a straight forward manner. ...
Many authors have used minimal cost paths, or similarly geodesics relative to a weight potential P, to find a vessel between two end points. ...
Each end point allows to extract a branch of the tree as a minimal path from this point to the source point, the points located on the minimal path are very likely located on the vessel of interest. ...
