Abstract:In this paper we introduce a novel algebraic filter, based on algebraic topology methods, to extract and smooth the boundary surface of any subset of voxels arising from the segmentation of a 3D medical image. The input of the Linear Algebraic Representation (lar) Surface extraction filter (lar-surf) is defined as a chain, i.e., an element of a linear space of chains here subsets of voxels represented in coordinates as a sparse binary vector. The output is produced by a linear mapping between spaces of 3-and 2… Show more
