Abstract:Compared to curve-based or surface-based skeletons, the hybrid skeleton better matches the geometry of the data. Each rod is represented by a one-voxel-thick arc and each plate is represented by a one-voxel-thick surface. The hybrid skeleton as well as the proposed classification algorithm introduce relevant parameters linked to the presence of plates in the trabecular bone data, showing that rods and plates contain independent information about trabeculae. The hybrid skeleton offers a new opportunity for prec… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
